The location was new to us & we were attracted to La Herradura’s great balance between tranquillity and having lots to do & see. We also liked the fact that it has a real Spanish identity and flavour, untainted by the tower block hotels & overt commercialism of the Costa del Sol nearby. In fact, La Herradura seems to have a law preventing building over a certain height, which really adds to the pleasant, exclusive & upmarket feel of the town.
Finding the right villa wasn’t easy. It took 11 months & we viewed over 50 villas in the La Herradura area & looked at many more on the web. After seeing many villas with great views but very few with the wow factor view, we knew we wanted the latter. This villa very simply has the best views and best outside area we’ve ever seen!
Being high up enough to see the town, the curve of the bay, the beach and right across the sea was an amazing plus for us. What then clinched it was the largest private pool we had ever seen, 10 metres long, & the sheer space of the villa both inside & out. There is also a huge basement area with so much potential: we have plans to soon convert that into a games room/teenage den/cinema room.
We refurbished the villa in its entirety, hiring a professional interior designer to completely revamp it, buying new furniture and various other features, so as to create an attractive, contemporary and airy feel.
While we’re still working (too hard!) in the UK, we hope to go out there from time to time to enjoy the villa, and in the longer term, who knows? We might be able to visit more often. Hopefully, you will get a lot of pleasure out of it in the meantime!
