Villa del Sol

Location was very handy for the surrounding region, close to the beach. The pool was lovely and refreshing. We had plenty of space in the house and the host provided everything we needed for our family of five.

Host Francesco was wonderful. Excellent pre stay contact with lots of information. He met us and showed us round the property providing us again with lots of useful information. He had supplied toilet rolls, tea, coffee, olive oil and more. A lovely touch was a bottle of chilled wine and lagers in the fridge along with olives etc. The villa was very very clean and well equipped. The beds were firm but really comfortable. The air conditioning was wonderful. Lovely veranda to sit and chill. One bathroom with walk in shower and one downstairs toilet with a sink and large mirror. Would love to see wall mirrors in both bedrooms. If you want to lay out in the sun there is a roof terrace with two sun loungers. The location of the villa is in a very peaceful, clean, gated community. Wonderful large pool right outside. Did mention it would be nice to have pool towels which I think Francesco might consider providing but check before you go. There are some restaurants and bars very close by which generally seemed to be geared towards a British clientele. Our absolute favourite was a Spanish owned and run cafe where we had a glorious brunch called Cafe Fleur which served beautiful home cooked food such as Eggs Benidict along with wonderful cakes and freshly squeezed juice. We also ate at a lovely greek restaurant. If the more British vibe is enough for your needs then perfect but if you want to visit for example San Paulo you need a car. We struggled getting taxis but we did find one in the end which was €25. For our return we managed to find the taxi rank and this only cost €14. There is a bus service but not sure how reliable as didnt use it. Carabassí Beach is a 20 minute walk along a virtually flat road and board walk. The beach was clean with sunbeds €25 per day for 2 beds and umbrella. The water was quite rough but you could walk out quite a way and still touch the floor which was nice.

Francesco was a fabulous host. The property was amazing. We pretty much had the pool to ourselves most days.

Excellent, comfortable beds and bedding and it was so thoughtful have coffee, tea, a bottle of wine and snacks upon arrival.

Villa was perfect and seconds from restaurants and shops. Perfect for a chill time. Short walk to the beach but if you want more youd likely need a car. Hosts were lovely, engaging and checked we were ok. Perfect peace.

The property was absolutely beautiful, the owners thought of everything was greeted by owners on arrival lovely people couldn’t do more for you nothing was a hassle
