Exactly...I am not providing "hotel standards"..but at the same time our villa is as good as a rental villa from a package holiday company! We've been renting for 3 years now and no one has complained about pillows either. We do have spare pillows for guest to use....but so far no one has bothered to use them..however, I still change the pillow cases to keep them 'fresh'!

Can anyone explain Spanish pillows [there much like a bolster but a bit shorter I think]We got them when we first furnished the houses with the bedroom package.
How the Spanish sleep on a double bed with them I dont know everytime one of us moved it woke the other up.
The pillowcases are open at both ends as well[no foldy bit]
Needless to say Theyve all been replaced. Pillowcases[normal ones] are a bit awkward to get in Spain as well [apart from the British linen shops].
I suppose by normal I mean normal to us.
I do use pillow protectors & dont spend a lot on pillows so I replace them a lot.
My husband likes 2 pillows and I like about 1 and half [which isnt easy!]

We're lucky because we have a Dunnes Stores (Irish version of M&S), and I get all my linen, pillows and duvets from there...but I know what you mean about the Spanish pillows. When we first started renting I made the mistake of buying 'single' pillows and pillowcases from Carrefour, only to come home and find that they were a different size from the 'normal' UK ones...and the pillowcases had both ends open.
I suppose it's what we're used to...the Spanish probably think the UK pillows and cases are strange compared to theirs.
