Dos Hermanas is a wonderfully stylish and well kept family home in a pretty sleepy village, perfect for a family holiday. We relaxed the moment we arrived and opened the old wooden doors onto the wisteria shaded patio and saw the immaculate big and beautiful garden and pool. All so much more perfect than we had imagined with the summer house, well tended flowers and fruit trees and gorgeous tree house for wee ones.

The house itself is large, cool and comfortable with excellent beds and bathrooms and a variety of seating areas. Although we were mostly outside and only used the downstairs kitchen which is very well appointed, I enjoyed sitting upstairs on the top floor in the early morning with the windows and shutters flung open to take in the stunning views.

Jesus diligently tended the garden and pool every morning before anyone else was awake, even washing down the lovely sun-loungers and lifting all of the fallen fruit of which there was a copious amount. Plenty of lemons and oranges for drinks! Jesus wife whom I believe cleans Dos Hermanas does an equally thorough job on the house as the interior was spotlessly clean.

Melegis is clean and pretty with a shop and bakery although the friendly 'bread man in a van' delivered our fresh bread every morning about 10am. There are two bars with restaurants only a short walk away. We only had complimentary tapas in one, which was excellent, however the very popular Los Narangos had a varied and delicious menu - and complimentary tapas! Melegis is also very well placed for sight seeing in Andalucia.

So, in summary, after many visits to Andalucia in the past, I think we have found our perfect holiday home away from home.

Penelope, many thanks.
