The Summer Months: The beach of Isla Canela is unlike most beaches in Spain it is very quiet and relaxing and has many beach restaurants providing locally caught fish and fantastic Spanish food. It is a very unhurried atmosphere and in no time you will want to return. We recommend you visit Ayamonte Town in the evening and return after dinner to park up on the beach and enjoy the local bars and entertainment and then just stroll a few meters back to your apartment without the worry of getting cabs or driving, or enjoy the fantastic views from the balcony with your favourite tipple as you watch the excellent sunset over Portugal. There is a train that picks you up opposite the apartment at takes you to Isla Canela Marina (Punta Moral)where you can sample all types of food and drink, then at the end of the evening you catch the train back to the apartment and need never have to drive whilst on the Island. There are also some fantastic hotels offering nightly cabarets and children's entertainment.

Golf Course bookings and discounts:
If you are interested in playing other golf courses other than Isla Canela such as Castro Marim, El Rompido, Quinta de Ria, Quinta de Cima, Benimor, Islantilla etc then we can arrange for tee times,discounts and club hire delivered to your apartment for as little as €35.00.
. Please let us know at time of booking.

Also within an hours drive you can access all the main Portuguese Algarve courses such as San Lorenzo, Quinta De Lago, Vale De Lobo and Villamora.
Airports/ Car Hire: There are three options regarding airports. Faro is the closest at 50 Kilometres (45 minutes) with flights from Easyjet, Monarch, and Excel. Then Seville is just over an hour drive being served by Ryanair and British Airways. The third airport is Jerez, this is a two hour drive but is straight forward as the route is on two motorways. Ryanair fly to this airport.

Very Nice Apartment with Beautiful view

A spacious apartment with everything we needed for a relaxing stay in Isla Canela. A very short walk to the lovely beach and lots places to eat fish and seafood nearby. We particularly enjoyed the large terrace/balcony with sea and river views and gorgeous sunsets. The host was extremely helpful and supplied great advice and info on the local area, restaurants etc.

Lovely Apartment..and the views!

A beautiful, light airy apartment in a gated complex with wonderful views. Very clean & comfortable, like a home from home with all you could want. Great chillax sofa! UK tv & fast wifi a bonus too. 2 lovely balconies to wine dine & chill which we took advantage of every night to watch fabulous sunsets over Guadiana River, Portugal. Robert, owner, was brilliant, friendly, helpful with all aspects of booking/keys etc. We would definitely recommend Casa Chareb ..we loved it.

Hemos estado como en casa

Hemos estado una semana en Isla Canela en casa de Robert! Y la verdad es que nos hemos sentido como en nuestra propia casa. El apartamento está totalmente equipado! Por tener teníamos hasta una nevara para ir a la playa y un par de sombrillas. Esta fantásticamente situada, a menos de un minuto andando de la playa...Para los días de mucho viento el apartamento tiene piscina que ayuda a complementar el día de playa! Cerca de unos cuantos restaurantes y chiringuitos para comer o cenar! En cualquiera se come muy bien. Lo único de mejora sería tener mejor señal de wifi ya que nos conectábamos pero no iba correctamente! Por lo demás genial unas vacaciones para no olvidar, sobre todo alguna cena en la terraza viendo la puesta de sol. También queremos agradecer la hospitalidad de Jon que nos recibió el día que llegábamos. Felicidades por la buena experiencia que nos han ofrecido.

Hemos pasado unas vacaciones estupendas en este apartamento. Tiene una vistas preciosas al mar y a la piscina de la urbanización.

La urbanizacion es preciosa y la piscina una maravilla. Lo recomiendo a 100x100%. El trato del conserje y del dueño estupendisimo son muy agradables y se preocupan de todo. La verdad que estamos contentisimos. La verdad que repetiremos sin dudarlo.

Lovely scenic getaway with a perfect location.

This was our second visit here and once again we had the most amazing week enjoying the pool, large beach and the wonderful local restaurants. The tapas place only a 3 min walk has amazing Spanish food! Everything and anything we needed to know could be answered in the detailed manual Robert has provided, making for a relaxing trouble free holiday! The apartment was very clean and had everything you could possibly require. We will defiantly be returning again soon, those sunsets on the balcony will be missed.

A hidden Gem on Spain s Costa del la Luz

We had a fantastic time at your apartment. Situated right on the beach, fantastic views and sunsets towards Portugal. We had a couple of days where it was cloudy but we went to Portugal shopping in Monte Gordo. Booking with Robert was seaml3ss and he asvis3s us on things to avoid and car hire. Having fast wifi was a god send in keeping in touch with family at home. We are already planning our next stay on Isla Canela. Thank you again. Justine & Robin

SEJOUR du 24 Fevrier au 9 Mars 2016

Le propriétaire est trés aimable et donne tous les renseignements pour que l'arrivée soit bien. Son amie qui nous a reçu était trés plaisante. L'appartement est bien équipé et propre. La terrasse avec une belle vue est grande et équipée. Le seul petit regret c'est qu'elle est exposée Ouest, donc l'hiver le soleil ne vient pas avant 16 H sur la terrasse . Par contre c'est certainement très bien l'été pour avoir un peu moins chaud !! Les alentours sont agréables et c'est tout près d'une belle plage. Nous avons aimé la ville d'Ayamonte juste à côté avec ses belles places et ses cafés. Ce fut de trés bonnes vacances enrichies par la visite de Seville pendant 2 jours .

Beautiful Appartment in great location.

The property was as you see in the photos. 2 minutes from the Beach and some Restaurants. Very comfortable Appartment. Robert was very nice to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. Jackie met us at the Appartment and was there if we needed anything. Isla Canela is a lovely place, it had a beautiful beach and some nice Restairants. Ayamonte is a lovely town and we eat there a few times. We went sightseeing to Seville and Cadiz and drove down the coast which was beautiful. I would definatly recomend this Appartment. It was quiet while we were there but it was still only March. Weather was a bit chilly but dry. Robert kept in touch with us via email and phone. The Appartment has fast Internet which was great. Overall a lovely holiday.

Great Location

A nice comfortable apartment that lived up to it's description.It is easy to find,on the corner as you come in.right opposite the beach. We like Isla Canela but more places than usual were closed so we ate out more at lunchtime. Robert was around whilst we were there ,met us on arrival (good because it was 11.00pm ). helped us settle in,and was available to consult. Having said that, we had several conversations before we left UK,he is easy to deal with. Hard to recommend restaurants when so many are closed but I always like the ones up at Punta Moral village

Fantastic place for a holiday

This apartment could not be better situated. Just a short stroll across the road and you are on what can only be described as a stunning beach. The apartment has everything you could wish for. It's quite at night, has the sun on the balcony afternoon through to sunset. You can sit in Spain watching the sun set over Portugal. This is without a doubt an apartment I shall be returning to time and time again. Robert is a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Jewel in Southern Spain

Arrived for our third visit to Robert's apartment and as usual it was perfect. The apartment has everything you need...home from home! If you enjoy peace, quiet and relaxation this really is the place for you. Beautiful beach, fantastic pool and lovely locals who work in the small chiringuitas on the beach. A short bus ride away is the small town of Ayamonte....wonderful. My partner and I love this little jewel of Southern Spain and are already planning our next visit.

peaceful location.

A quiet apartment in a well maintained block, just off the main road. Overall, it is well equipped, although some of the furnishings are a a little dated, and the balcony lacks character. The addition of air con units would be an absolute bonus, as it is inadvisable to leave windows open overnight, due to aggressive mosquitoes! We were not impressed with the restaurant, El Cabra 2, which is located on the main strip where the food was very poor, and the service even worse, (our food was literally thrown at us!) In our opinion it is worth a walk a little way off the main strip to La Costa, where the food is superb, and the service second to non, and the wine realistically priced.

Isla Canela is worth a trip

I don't think we have ever been to an apartment that has better views front and back. The photos and description are accurate, it was clean and tidy and the local assistant was very helpful, even refreshing the books at my request during our holiday. The complex and pool - and indeed the whole area - was very pleasant and well cared for, friendly people and the beach is to die for, with shallow waters for the little ones - the locals use it, which says it all. Ayamonte itself is charming, sitting on the river with a lovely harbour area, lots of places to eat and a simply wonderful indoor market for all your fresh food. Would recommend it for both couples or family.

Gran apartamento en Isla Canela

Estuvimos una semana en este apartamento y la experiencia fue muy buena. El apartamento está muy nuevo, tiene dos habitaciones con baños perfecto para 4 personas. Está muy cerca de la playa en un sitio tranquilo pero con bares y terracitas para tomar algo y cenar. La verdad que la relación calidad-precio nos pareció excelente y lo recomendamos a quien quiera visitar la zona. Es importante tener coche para poder moverse pero también incluye plaza de garaje. Fueron en todo momento muy amables y no tuvimos ningún problema.

1st Family Holiday with our 10month old

We stayed at this apartment in Jul/Aug and we were so happy with everything about the holiday! The apartment was as described and had everything we needed. The Balcony was a great bonus and the evening sunsets were beautiful. We had a 10month old baby with us and the bedroom with access to thebalcony proved very helpful when checking on the baby at night. The pool was also lovely and the beach just a 5 minute stroll (beautiful beach). We couldnt have asked for more. It was ideal and had everything we were looking for in a holiday. My only negative would be that it doesnt have a baby pool - but it didnt stop my 10 month old loving being in the water! Would go again!!!

Ideal Holiday

We were recommended the apartment by family who have visited before, and as a young couple we thought we would try the area. On speaking to Robert he did point out that the Location of the apartment was ideal and the views were fantastic(no building work in progress). we enjoyed evenings sitting on the balcony watching the sun go down with our favourite tipple. The apartment has everything we could need and we made it our own for the duration of the stay.The area is very laid back and slow which we wanted and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Robert gave us some really helpfull tips and hints with regards to car hire and places to go and things not too miss, unfortunately we were to relaxed to do everything. so maybe next year we can do it. Thank you again Robert. Gill & Dan

Isla Canela

We stayed here for 24 days over Christmas 08 and New Year, the directions were spot on and we found our way with no problems, the problem began when we walked into the apartment and it had not been clean and was just as the last clients had left it!! We were NOT happy bunnies!! rang Robert in U.K. and he was brilliant, got someone there immediately and sorted the problem. Although there is no air con/central heating we were sufficiently warm with the oil radiators and gas heater. The apartment is cosy, and very well equipped, the DVDs were a pleasant watch when it rained several evenings. The hot water boiler sprang a leak on Christmas evening! again Robert was a STAR! getting a plumber and sorting everything out.Lots of places were closed at that time of year, but several bars/restaurants were enjoyed at the Marina, The janitor at the apartments was so helpful, although our Spanish isn't that good, we understood each other. Would we go again? yes. The beach is very clean and we strolled along it every day Ayamonte is a beautiful town, sitting in the square was a pleasure.

Los Gavilanes, Isla Canela Apartment

The apartment was everything as described.. Well equipped, well furnished and very comfortable. Nothing was lacking. Isla Canela beach is fairly quiet but with very nice bars and restaurants. The beach is wide and sandy with lots of beach restaurants and bars. Ayamonte is a buzzing town with lots of character and again lots of bars and restaurants. There is a good golf course within five minutes of the apartment with four others in striking distance Not a place for anyone looking for a lively place with lots of exciting nightlife but perfect for middle aged has-beens like us. No hesitation in recommending this apartment and location

Fantástico apartamento muy recomendable

Hemos pasado unos días en familia estupendos. El apartamento está en una ubicación inmejorable, al lado de playa, chiringuitos, restaurantes, supermercado. La casa está super bien equipada. Las camas y sofá del salón super cómodos. La urbanización es estupenda, con su piscina, plaza parking..etc. Lo mejor sin duda: ¡¡la terraza!! qué vistas, qué atardeceres. Se ve la playa y se ve Portugal y la desembocadura del Guadiana con su faro. Robert MUY atento con lo que hemos podido necesitar. Nathalie también estaba pendiente. Tan solo un par de consejos o sugerencias que podría mejorar la estancia: poner un toldo en el terraza ya que por la tardes el sol da el solo directo y te mueres de calor, no se puede estar. Y poner una cortinita en la cocina ya que por las mañanas da el solo directo en la cara. Muchas gracias, Robert, VOLVEREMOS!!!

About the host

Hosted by Robert

Host profile image
My name is Robert. I have spent many weeks in Isla Canela and Ayamonte and find it to be Spain's hidden treasure. We named the apartment after my daughters, Casa Chareb. Charlotte & Rebecca. We love the area and slow pace of life. Its where the Spanish go to Holiday

Why they chose this property

The apartment has fantastic views and is minutes from the beach. you can pop home for lunch on the balcony. There is everything close by. The sunset towards Portugal in the evening is stunning and sets just before 9.00 PM so get your drinks ready to enjoy. The apartment is one of three on our floor and is fully secluded. In the summer months parking at the beach can be difficult to find a place if you choose an apartment on the Gold or the Marina. We have private parking in the complex across from the beach, you can pop home for lunch, and also carry your bags/towels etc without having to get in the car. Bear this in mind when choosing your Location.....

What makes this property unique

The view from the balcony is breath taking. The location to the beach is the best. quiet and secluded Balcony. Fully equipped for that family holiday or romantic break. The gardens and pool are the best kept on the Island by the keep Manola who is very helpful..Parking is free and in the summer months can be difficult to get a place on the beach ....
