Our friends booked a holiday for the four of us here last year, unfortunately the boss suffered a calcaneal fracture while attempting to break her personal best in the long jump and we had to cancel. Our friends spent a wonderful week here while we stayed back home and I made insensitive jokes about my wife’s broken foot. The owner (Marie-Claire) very graciously offered to rebook ourselves in at a later date, she had no need to do this but indeed she did and her offer was gratefully accepted. Which was a great move on our part! Seventeen months later we arrived with four fully functioning feet at Dos Iberos and a great time was had by all! First off the place is outstanding, (they have a professional video on YouTube, check it out, as good as it is, it doesn’t do Dos Iberos justice) everything here is first class. The thought, planning and effort that has produced this beautiful retreat is phenomenal. The bedrooms are really spacious and tastefully decorated. Ours had a walk-in closet with enough storage for you to stay for a month and I wish we had! The bed is huge and as comfortable as any I’ve slept in, the view across the valley is amazing and in the evening the stars fill the sky to provide the most romantic setting, unless you’ve been together for forty two years, then it’s just night time! The shower room is slightly larger than an apartment I had in Bournemouth in 1979. It has a walk-in power shower that showers powerfully, so all good there. It’s stocked with all the bells and whistles, shaving mirror, hairdryer, fluffy towels and a shower gel and body wash that (according to the boss) are top notch. All good! The grounds are picture perfect, (check out the video) lots of places to sit and take in the amazing views. The infinity pool is just the best, get your iPods in, throw on Springsteen’s ‘Racing in the Street’ and gaze across the valley. Perfecto! In the late afternoon/early evening Marie-Claire provides a cocktail service, and she puts together (again according to the boss) a winner of a Gin and Tonic. I wrestled with a selection of Scotch and everyone was A1! The package that was booked included breakfast. (each day) lunch and dinner on a couple of days and to be fair, the food (like everything else) exceeded our expectations. Breakfast had everything you could think of, unless you fancied Moose, other than Moose, there was something to suit most tastes. Lunch was light, fresh, and healthy. Much to the amusement of the boss, I was introduced to quinoa and to be fair, I’m converted. The weather was blistering and we sat on the terrace in the shade and I quinoaed with the best of them. The dinners were thoroughly enjoyable, three freshly prepared courses, Paella, Pasta, a kind of Panna Cotta dessert (that you really wanted to lick the inside of the glass to finish but you didn’t want to appear uncouth to the rest of the guests) and a Limoncello dessert that wasn’t really Limoncello but whatever it was it was superb.
