This Internet access is available to our clients at no extra charge although you have to provide the computer, usually a laptop! You also need to be aware that the service is not to be used for large volume downloads. It has been designed to provide good access to normal web browsing and emailing whilst supporting Skype or similar Internet Telephone systems. In order to give good telephone service to all users of their service the providers have asked that no one user hogs the bandwidth, hence the capped rate.

Instructions on its use will be provided to clients upon booking. If you have a Wi-Fi card that you normally use to access the Internet then you will be given instructions on how to configure this to use our Wi-Fi port. If you use a normal CAT5 RJ45 cable then this can be simply plugged straight into the access point. A 3m cable is provided for your use if this is the case.

Using the Internet on the veranda during the evening with a glass of wine and taking in the views is certainly a more relaxing way of keeping in touch with email and the like! We've tried it by the pool and it works fine but the sun is usually too bright for the screen.

We well recommend the use of Skype for access to a telephone from the villa. If you are already on Skype then just set it up on your laptop (don't forget a headset if you prefer to use one) and it will work exactly as if you were still at home. It works well over our Internet connection and gives all the usual benefits of low or zero cost calls to the UK. There is a noticable delay compared to using it in the UK caused by the Spanish Internet systems but we have still found it very usable. If you do not have Skype yet then go to www.skype.com for more details, it is a free system but you have to set up an account with some credit in it if you wish to call out to a normal phone number. Incoming calls are also possible but requires a monthly fee.
