Pilates Retreat in Zahara

We enjoyed a lovely time at the Villa. We loved tge stunning view and the Kitchen/ Living Area as we brought our own Catering Team. Workouts around the Pool and at the Beach really made it complete. We will come back.

Stunning villa in a stunning location

The villa is as good, if not better than the pictures. The host was great and Ana, the housekeeper, made sure we were very well looked after. The location is fantastic- incredible views across the beautiful sandy beaches of Zahara. I would definitely visit again. Thanks, Paul

Beyond spectacular!

This property is simply amazing. It is difficult to find, but the team running the property are so helpful with navigation if you call them as you are arriving. All of the appliances are high grade and the kitchen boasts everything you will need - and even some things you didn't know you needed but used them anyway. The way the villa is configured is that there are three bedrooms in the 'main' part of the house and two other areas each with two bedrooms which is lovely if you are with a group of people and want some privacy or separation. From our group (6 women), not a single person had a complaint about the beds, bathrooms, or amenities. Corro and Ana were the most wonderful people. Corro with his communication and check ins and Ana with her daily cleaning. Absolutely top notch service. Getting to the beach is relatively easy - just take the stairs down (just to the left of the villa) - wear sensible shoes when going down of course. I would strongly suggest having a car as Zahara de los Atunes is about an hour walk but once you get there, it is great - good supermarkets, shopping, lively atmosphere at night with many great restaurants and bars. If you don't want to drive, Corro will arrange for a taxi. The pool is well maintained with a man coming by every other day to fill and clean it. I cannot say enough about the views from the property - just stunning. If there was a score higher than 10, I would be giving it.

a wonderful house and a betautiful region

We spend two weeks vacation with a party of 11 people at the house. The service with Anna and Arturo were excellent. The house and the equipment, furniture fullfill 100 % the descriptions.

Unglaublich tolles Haus, wunderschöner Ort, toller Service

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dieser fantastischen Villa sehr genossen! Das Haus und die Zimmer sind ein Traum, die Lage und der Ausblick atemberaubend. Am meisten hat uns der Service begeistert, von der Sekunde der Buchung bis zur Abreise wurde sich Bestens um uns gekümmert. Carmen, die Haushälterin kommt täglich und macht die beste Paella der Welt. Wir haben uns selten irgendwo so Zuhause und Willkommen gefühlt wie hier! Einziges Manko da wir im November dort waren ist dass der Pool nicht beheizt ist.

an incredible house

We felt very comfortable in the house in Zahara. The rooms are amazing, the equipment is great and you have sea view from every room. Despite the location on the mountain you can reach the beach in just a few minutes. A special thanks goes to Carmen, who has looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay. All in all a great stay in a great place. Thanks.

Impressive villa

The most amazing thing about the villa is the view, it's fantastic and can be viewed from all rooms. The three double bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is well equipped, and everything is clean and well maintained. We were a large family staying a week in the villa, 7 grown ups and 6 children (15 to 8 years old), and everybody loved the place. We stayed in the house a lot, relaxing by the pool and had great meals (inside and outside). There is a path to the beach, so we often walked down to swim in the sea. The road to the house is narrow and steep, but we never had any problems driving there. Fernando, Curro and Carmen were all great, making sure that our stay was the best possible. We would love to stay in the house again, and fully recommend it.

Impresionante villa con todo tipo de comodidades

La villa es fabulosa. Está perfectamente cuidada. Las habitaciones son amplias y las vistas inmejorables. Una vez estas dentro, ¡no quieres salir!. Gracias a Fernando, Curro y Virtudes, que nos dieron todo tipo de facilidades. Por poner una pega: la sinuosa carretera casi sin asfaltar y con curvas que nos hizo rozar el coche, pero es un mal menor. Fuí con toda mi familia y todos estamos deacuerdo en que repetiremos, sin duda. Ha sido una estancia espectacular. No dejen de alojarse en ella. Muchas gracias.

Views and comfort all week long

With our group of 14 friends, we had a great relaxing week in Zahara de los Atunes, we had great food and met nice people. The housekeeper comes in every day and even made us a great paella and tuna dinner one night and it was phenomenal. We definitely come back next time we are in the area again. Thanks so much for everything.

Fantastic Villa! Fantastic Views! Fantastic Hospitality!

I have traveled to many parts of the world and if you want to relax in a beautiful home, with amazing views and receive wonderful hospitality - there is no other choice but this villa. The pictures for this villa are very good but actually being there - everything is much better! And it is a new home so everything is clean and perfect. You can choose to cook in the large kitchen or drive to nearby great restaurants. Though once you're at the villa - you'll want to stay there and admire the amazing views. No negative comments about the villa. One recommendation when driving to the villa - drive slowly on the last street to the villa (Urb Atlanterra G). I grew up with narrow streets but some people may not be familiar.

What a surprise...

I booked this villa for a group of 14 people, just seeing the pictures on the web. The concern was if it was consistent with the reality. The most amazing thing to see was the faces of the other 13 when we entered... The reality is much more impressive than the pictures ! The house is astonishing, very well furnished, high class finishes, impressive quality and beautiful. The position is amazing, with the view of the gulf. Fernando was very kind and punctual, he did not leave out any details, including the appetizer on arrival :) Very very very recommended for a high level vacation. Thank you Fernando. Giorgio and the other 13.
