Chris:

Your report brought back happy memories of a late July vacation at the Villaroca (we're glad we took your recommendation). Four of us spent a long weekend there. It was the "green" (slow) season, with less people around, and the occasional afternoon rain did not bother us at all. And upgrades were a certainty on the barely half-full US first class cabin!

One of us left our wallet in the room - it was returned via airmail with everything intact ^

We plan to make it an annual event!
