These guys were amazing. They kept us in the look of their arrival and departure. They called when they were not sure and left the motorhome after Glasto in great condition. Lovely people too!!!

We booked Jordi’s van last minute and we’re so pleased that we did! We are 2 female friends looking for a weekend away and a bit of an adventure and a break. The van was perfect for exploring Menorca and although we only scratched the surface of what the island has to offer, we definitely felt that we got to see and experience some of its delights. The van was the perfect way to explore, as there are free parking spots all over the island and it felt really peaceful and safe in all the spots that we chose.Jordi’s van has been thoughtfully put together and has everything you need from an outdoor shower (we loved this!!), a fridge that runs off the solar and engine powered leisure battery, charging points, snorkel, table and chairs, a pack of cards, salt and herbs, bottle of wine and more! You can really tell that he has used this van himself as everything was thought of.We found park4night really helpful in knowing where to stay. We spent our first night in the parking spot near cap de favaritx. We only had cows for company and a beautiful walk to the beach in the morning. We headed to Fornell’s for some lunch then to Platja de Binimel·là where there were little turtles in the river running down to the beach and a restaurant with breathtaking views.From here we headed south to ‘15B Carrer Pins07750 Serpentona’ a parking spot right at the bottom of steps that lead to Cala Macarelleta and Cala Macarella. It is a beautiful 40 min walk to the beach along the cliff top and well worth it. All the hype about those beaches is true-the colour of the water was incredible! There is a restaurant and a toilet on Macarella but food supplies are a good idea to take with you. We hired a kayak from the beach and explored some of the caves.For the evening we headed to Ciutadella, we went to Margot Locanda for dinner, their food was delicious! In the morning we heading back into the town and explored the maze of back streets and shops. We headed to the fish market for lunch and ate the most delicious prawns with a glass of vermouth. From here we headed north for our last night, and probably our favourite spot in the van. The car park was near Cala d'Algariens and platja des bot. We headed round the headland to platja des bot, such a wild and beautiful beach with trees down to the sand an old boat hut built into the cliff. We watched the sun set over the sea and walked back through wild flower fields to the van.In the morning we met Jordi and he took us back to the airport.We were lucky to not experience any mosquitos whilst we were there, although there is a mosquito net on the van door and citronella coils that Jordi provides. It is pretty warm at night, we took a mini fan with a usb cable attachment and that worked a treat off the leisure battery all night.Don’t hesitate to book the van and experiencing the island in this way, we would love to return one day!

The trip with this campervan was great. Andre was very kind and show me all the details needed to live in the van. The rear seats have an incorporated booster and the kids had a comfortable ride. The van has a good sound insulation. The noise in the cabin while driving and camping was acceptable. This is not a new van but it is well mantained. The driving and handling is very good. The van is well equipped with kitchenware, duvets, pillows, bed sheets and towels. The interior is not luxurious but comfortable.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Sam for hiring us his Motorhome which was presented immaculately. The Motorhome is in great condition, very comfortable, very well equipped and drives well. We had a wonderful weekend and would definitely highly recommend this Motorhome. Communication was always prompt. Thank you.

The owner was super friendly and helpful but the vehicle itself had a string of disasters. It was not filled with a full gas tank as promised so we had no hot water or use of the hob. The battery failed halfway through the trip and we had 0 electricity (including lights) for three days. It did not come with an awning as advertised. Pretty frustrating to say the least as it tarnished what would've otherwise been a great trip.

We had an amazing trip, the camper van is very well equipped, is clean and new and the owners really helpful. We were 5 adults and a baby and we had plenty of room

The island of Tenerife is beautiful and experiencing it by camper is a must. Unfortunately, this camper was extremely ill equipped. We rented it for a total of two nights, and before we had gone to sleep the first night, the battery had run out to zero. We decided to give it a day to solar charge, but unfortunately it did not work, and we let the owner know of this issue on the second day. They offered to bring us a latern. Without a battery, we were unable to charge our phones, have light when it was dark, and use any of the appliances that relied on electricity. The speakers and audio connections also did not work for us. It put a big damper on our experience. We also arranged for an airport pickup at the beginning, but the ad does not specify that it is only a pickup from the South airport in Tenerife, meaning we had to take a 100 euro cab to pick up our rental. There were multiple miscommunications about the drop off time and inspections and we were asked to pay additional fees outside of the agreement. I would look to the many other campers available on this website to rent instead of this one.

Fabulous! The van was spotlessly clean and kitted out with everything we needed for a week away. We couldn’t work out the reversing camera but TBH that was probably my lack of tech savvy!

My friends and I had a wonderful time driving from Faro along the south coast to the East. Audrey and Jorge are wonderfully polite and kind hosts and their van was perfectly suited for our needs. Ample electricity to charge devices, comfortable, warm in the nights and cool in the days, overall, we really couldn’t fault this awesome experience. Thanks to both of them for an amazing adventure!

First time Yescapa experience so I was a little nervous but I lucked out. He was an exceptional host who made sure that everything was absolutely clean and prepared for our stay. He was available for any questions we had during the duration of our journey. He was extremely keen to answer anything we asked. I would absolutely feel comfortable renting from him many times again. The van itself was in great condition. The engine works perfectly. And obviously has a little slower than faster cars on the highway but I have no trouble driving.

Rented this Motorhome for a week when our first MH was cancelled. As firsttimers, we focused on owners that speak English, since we did not speak French. Unfortunately, the owner does not speak English Even though she claim s to in the ad. Her husbond speaks a little bit, but not enough to be able to explain everything about the vehicle. They live quite a distance from BOD, so be prepared to pay 100€+ in taxi if you arrive that way. First we had agreed to pick up the MH at 18.00. Which was late for us arriving at 13.30, but the owner was working till then. But after arriving the owner was delayed 1 hour. So we had to find something else to do for another hour. the owner was not willing to compensate or meet us closer to the AirPort. ( it was hard to get a taxi ).When picking up the MH we had a relatively quick go through. And did not go through everything. The owner had made a video in french, that we could see in advance, but since it was in french we did not get all the details. They had also made an instruction manual in french. All communication from the owner during our rental was also in french, so we had to translate everything each time We communicated. The MH itself was ok. It is quite big, which makes it a little bit of a hassle to park in central areas. if you consider crossing the border, make sure to tell them this upfront. If not, you are not allowed during the rental. Also be aware that you must clean the MH thoroughly inside and outside before returning it. We got aware of this some hours before the rental ended, and it became quite a hassle. If information was given in a language we understood, this would probably not be such a problem. Finally, at return you must count on approximately 1,5-2 hour session and a thorough go-through. Much more than on departure for us. Of course we ended up with 1500€ extra cost for things we did not go through when picking up the MH. Really frustrating. A bed strap on the bunkbed only used 1 night by my son ( <40 kgs), was somewhere bent. (would never have noticed this Even though we had seen the strap on departure), also a couple of Windows-hatches was not functioning right. Finally some minor marks from branches ( not visible on pictures before nor after) was "discovered".All these things was charged the deposit, since we had signed but not checked at departure. costly learned lesson by us. This MH is the ovners "baby" ( as they call it), so be prepared to pay for any minor scratch they may find. We almost got charged for a small sunscreen Stiain, that we easily could rub off. ( you need to document everything at pick-up)****** Réponse du propriétaire******PROPRIETAIRE FUYEZ CE LOCATAIRE!!!! Une location demandée la veille pour le lendemain et nous devons être disponible quand monsieur le souhaite, désolé mais nous travaillons !!Bassens loin de Bordeaux? En TER 7mn donc 100 euros de taxi c’est que Monsieur l’a bien voulu. Le camping-car doit être rendu aussi propre que lorsqu’il est pris ce qui nous semble totalement logique mais pas pour ce monsieur qui nous l’a rendu absolument DEGOUTANT!! De la Waxx partout sur la carrosserie ainsi que sur les sièges, poignet de porte etc…et nous n’avons pris aucun supplément ménage!Donc oui lorsque nous voyons que les sangles des lits superposés sont cassés et que les ouvrants du toit ouvrant le sont également (alors que tout fonctionnait parfaitement à l’état des lieux de départ), nous déclarons un sinistre et cela prend du temps !! Je ne parle effectivement pas anglais mais mon mari le parle et le comprend parfaitement donc ce monsieur est tout simplement de mauvaise foi!!

The van and Lorto the owner made this trip to one we won't forget. It was perfect and cozy, with all the equipment needed for travel around Spain! We definitely recommend this van.

We had an amazing experience!! The camper van was equipped with everything, Lizi and Alex thought about every little detail!! They were available for any doubts we had as well, very friendly couple! We were travelling with two small children (5 and 2), and it was comfortable for all of us, and easy enough to set things up that we managed to do it even when the kids kept badgering us to “hide in the super high bed”. Our oldest was actually disappointed to go back to her normal bed back home 😂We highly recommend it and we are going to rent it again for sure!!
