One street back from the beach quiet apartment near town.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. Louis is an excellent host and was great at communicating. We were able to walk barefoot to the beach, close to a good shop and all restaurants a short walk away. The apartment had everything we needed with two good sized bedrooms and plenty street parking. We would be happy to visit this location and apartment agin.

Great location, clean and nice views apartment

Nice apartment, very clean, and with great views from the terrace, specially for a beatiful breakfast seeing the sunrise! Located at the heart of the Cabo de Gata park, very handy to commute to all the point of interests there. Antonio, the owner, was very communicative and helpful since the first moment. He also owns a cosy restaurant nearby by the beach, great fresh fish at fair prices. 100% recommended!

Amazing Holiday Villa

The villa is located in a lovely area of natural beauty. On arrival we were met by a friendly property manager who couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming. On entering the villa you notice how cool and airy the villa is not to mention the charming interiors. The villa has everything you need and provides a relaxing environment. The outside is really special. The pool, gardens and stunning views were a big hit with all the family. The kids loved the pool, I loved reading a book in the hammock under the palm trees and flowers and my husband enjoyed cooking for us in the outdoor kitchen. If your after a fun yet relaxing holiday this place is perfect. Lots of beaches in all different directions. We found the little towns in the area charming. We enjoyed staying here so much and created many memories. We will be back for the stunning sunsets, sea and mountain views! The owners and property manager must have a mention they were so helpful and available when we needed assistance. Thank you!

Perfect holiday home

Ghislaine’s house is so lovely - I wish I owned it! The creative interior design is a delight to behold. The house is spacious, spotlessly clean and bright. The pool area is also lovely. Las Negras is a charming little seaside resort with plenty of character. It has great beaches and a good choice of restaurants. Would highly recommend.
