First of all, I would like to thank John and Philippa for their responsivnes, flexibility and quick feedback on whatever questions or requests.
Secondly, we spent two wonderful weeks in their lovely and fully-equiped villa in a very beautiful area.
You will have no surprise, since you will find there all the equipments and facilities as described in the ad (the stunning pool, bikes, barbecue, kitchenware, ...).
The golf is incredibely calm and clean, this is the definitely the place to spend relaxing holidays (we will for sure come again).
Property did not meet the expectation of the description on VRBO. Poorly maintained with very aged furniture and fittings. Toilet downstairs not attached to floor, hand basin had malfunctioning plug and thick scale to rim of plug hole. Faux leather degraded and coming off dining chairs. Upstairs bathroom had rusty radiator and rust in bath. Chipped tiles on floor and paint flaking off stair handrail. Frying pan unusable and fridge/freezer in need of defrosting as it was clearly struggling with working due to layers of ice. There was an issue with bugs in the kitchen and a rat in the garden. I could go on with more issues but will address these with the host. The swimming pool and location of the villa was excellent.
We have visited this property a number times and have always found it to be one of the best places to spend a lovely relaxing holiday. This was time was just as lovely as all the other times. The property is well equipped if you wish to cook at home, the beds are very comfortable and a lovely garden and pool.
We thoroughly enjoyed our star. The villa was great - comfy beds and sofa, excellent AC and the outside area was perfect for us! Loved the pool and the position of the villa with the greenery around. Unfortunately the pool went green towards the end of our stay so couldnât enjoy it as much for a couple of days, but John and Phillipa kept in touch to help us sort jt. We didnât bring our own pool tools as we didnât realise they werenât included but luckily the resort management office gave us some đ.
Would not hesitate to book again. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, quiet, has a couple of bars and restaurants you can use as well as some just outside - about a 15 min flat walk! We stayed in most days and nights as it was too nice to leave!
A Lidl, Aldi and Mercadona about 10 mi s away by car - but the onsite Spar is fab! We just enjoy exploring different supermarkets. A large carrefour about 20 mins away too. We BBQd every night except 3.
The only small things id love to make it even better would be some cleaning products for the kitchen and bathroom eg bleach for the loo, a mat just inside the patio doors (as even if youâre being careful after the pool, popping in for a drink, the floor gets slippery ), pool towels and some kitchen essentials like salt / pepper / oil as is a waste to bit each time. Lovely neighbours too!
Hubby enjoyed watching the golfers but did t partake himself this time.
Highly recommend the villa.
Thank for having us & helping with queries
We have just returned home from the most relaxing 2 week holiday at this villa.
Villa was just perfect for what we wanted, really clean and homely with everything we needed and the best part was the completely private pool area.
We didnât visit any of the onsite restaurants but instead chose to go to the strip just outside the resort - so many good restaurants to choose from (Gordon Bennettâs was our favourite!)
The communication from John and Philipa throughout the booking process and our stay was also excellent.
Highly recommend and we would love to return!!
Verblijf was prima Goed schoon. Doordat de buurhuizen niet bezet waren, hadden wij optimale privacy bij het zwembad. Het was heel rustig, zelfs de blaffende honden s nachts ontbraken. De pannen waren wat onder de maat en een koekenpan was reeds lang overleden.
Bonita casa con piscina privada en zona tranquila.
La vivienda es tal cual se ve en las fotos. El entorno es tranquilo y a pocos minutos en coche de las playas.Destacar la zona de la piscina privada con espacio sufieciente para descansar, comer. Totalmente recomendable.
Sehr sauber, alles bestens gepflegt. In der Region lĂ€sst sich sehr gut mit dem Rad fahren. Wir haben tĂ€gliche Ausfahrten auf verkehrsarmen Wegen von 60 - 70 km unternommen. Die spanischen Autofahrer sind Radfahrern gegenĂŒber sehr rĂŒcksichtsvoll!
We are a family of four who have been enjoying holidays here for the last few years. We always find that there is something for all ages.We enjoy holidaying here all year round.Its great to relax in the garden which is lovely & quiet with the best view over the golf course and always in the sun. It is great to watch the sun setting over the golf course. The 5 star hotel is only a short walk away where it is good to have a drink at one of the bars or eat in one of the luxurious restaurants.It is always a treat to be pampered in the ESPA spa. We enjoy cycling around the resort especially during the winter months when it can be too cold or icy for cycling at home. The driving range is very handy for practicing on a regular basis.
We chose the area because it is peaceful & relaxing but also plenty of restuarants, a shopping centre within a 15 minute drive away to suit the teenagers. It is very easy to get to with Murcia airport only 15 minutes away or Alicante 50 minutes away. The Mar Menor is great for swimming and safe. The warm water is such a treat from May through to October. The resort pool and hotel pool are nice to go to go for socialising and it's good to be able to get a drink there or have lunch there for a change. The unspoilt beaches are beautiful for walking in the winter and lively but not overcrowded in the summer. We enjoy a different kind of holiday each time we go and do different things depending on the season. During the summer it's swimming and BBQs, in the winter it's walking and cycling.
As we do not walk anywhere when we are at home with our busy, stressful lives it is a treat to be able to stroll out to the small supermarket which is only a short walk away. We live in a built up area so we really appreciate the open spaces and to be able to sit out and look at the views over the golf course.All ammenities are within walking distance of o ur villa which is one reason why we chose it. The sports facitlities are very good if you wish to be very active whist on holiday!
