This is by far and away the best villa we have stayed in. It was comfortable, well-equipped, we really couldn’t have wanted anything else. The pool was great, beds comfy, cooking facilities excellent and the view spectacular. Perfect!

Lovely villa to stay at with spectacular views. Every possible appliance in the villa. Dirk (the owner) and Megan were very helpful. Outside area and pool were perfect. Not over looked and very private. 25 minute drive to the coast and large hypermarket. We spent two weeks and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed my stay. The villa was lovely and the views spectacular. Excellent communication prior to and during my stay. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 relates to the access road, I found this to be quite dangerous especially on the track leading to the villa. There were what appeared to be a few wild dogs on this track. One in particular was quite aggressive.

The Villa Was beautiful, The views were beautiful and our holiday was all we could have hoped for. We contacted and spoke to Dirk a few times and he was amazing! Speedy and super helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! We haven't stayed in a Villa before so didn't know what to expect and we were not disappointed. The pool was amazing and the Kids loved it. Congratulations Dirk and Sabine on a great set up. highly recommended!!!

Set above and with views looking down on lake vinuela and beyond up to Mt Maroma and along the valley, this is the perfect tranquil setting. The gardens are beautiful and the pool set outside of the summer room with it's wall of sliding glass sublime. A fruit orchard and tropical plants, exotic. So much adaptable space which suited us perfectly with children and grandchildren from New Zealand joining us for one of our seven weeks stay. The furnishings exactly to our taste so this was home from home with perfect weather on this side of the valley throughout. The owner, manager, Gardner and pool cleaner all wonderful. We loved our time and felt privileged to be staying in Casa Estrallita. Thank you Dirk and Sabine for your hospitality

Secluded escape

We enjoyed a restful stay at this beautiful property, which is actually better than the pictures on VRBO suggest. The kitchen is well-equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and a great supply of pantry and cleaning products. We spent most of our time enjoying the conservatory and pool/patio area, which overlook the beauty of the mountains. Despite the location being somewhat remote, accessible via narrow winding roads, the nearby town of Vinuela provides access to well-stocked grocery stores, a butcher shop and bakery. The owner and the management company were both responsive to any questions or concerns we had.

A wonderful holiday home in every way

Casa Estrellita is a total delight. Exceptionally clean, so well-equipped, comfortable, homely, totally private and in a beautifully tranquil and breath-taking location. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout and it's very clear that their guests being happy is hugely important to them. Their Spanish management agent was also very helpful and the meet and greet instructions were very clear.We enjoyed all the comforts of this beautiful home and made the very most of the pristine pool and terrace. Over the last 16 years we have stayed in this area many times, and have rented lovely villas previously, but Casa Estrellita absolutely outweighs all the others and we couldn't find a single negative. We only wish we had found it much sooner!We would return in a heartbeat and very much hope to do so. Thank you Dirk and Sabine for everything.

A fabulous stay in a secluded house

We loved Casa Estrellita! The property is beautiful, well-appointed and so tranquil. The views are absolutely stunning. We loved the pool, the BBQ and the incredibly well-equipped kitchen. Games, puzzles and books were a great touch. Beds very comfy and the cot and highchair for our baby were brilliant. Check in and out was seamless and communication before and during our stay excellent. We would recommend it unreservedly for families or friends seeking a relaxing break in a wonderfully secluded property.

Hervorragendes Haus mit traumhaftem Ausblick

Sehr geräumiges, schön eingerrichtetes Haus. Alles vorhanden. Ideal für 6 Personen. Toller Wintergarten mit schönem Blick auf Pool, See und Berge. Der Pool ist größer als erwartet. Perfekt zum Erholen. Einziges Manko ist die Zufahrtsstraße, die sehr steil, kurvenreich und eng, aber machbar ist. Wir haben mit unserem Bus 10 Min. bis zur Landstraße gebraucht. (Deshalb bei Lage/Umgebung nur 4 Sterne, ansonten 6!) Der Service vor Ort war tadellos. Technische Probleme wurden sofort behoben. Netter Kontakt zum Vermieter.

Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist hier genau richtig. Der Ausblick auf den See und die umliegende Berglandschaft ist bombastisch und lädt ein, jeden Tag die Sonnenaufgänge bei Kaffee und Untergänge bei einem Glas Wein zu genießen. Das Anwesen mit Garten, Grillplatz und einem wundervollen Pool lässt absolut keine Wünsche offen. Wir kommen wieder, ganz klar 5 von 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hat im Grossen und Ganzen unsere hochgesteckten Erwartungen gemäss Beschrieb erfüllt.

Im Allgemeinen hatten wir einen guten Eindruck-alles Wichtige war vorhanden, die Aussicht natürlich super-schön. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten, die nicht-optimal waren, seien hier aber auch erwähnt: - bei einem WC funktionierte die Spühlung nicht, weil kein Wasser nachfloss - Küche und Wohnzimmer machten einen etwas „abgwohnten“ Eindruck - Müll muss selbst abtransportiert werden - Die Anfahrt ist (vor allem bei Nacht) doch etwas furchteinflössend. Glücklicherweise gab es nicht auch noch Regen. Gefreut haben wir uns u.a. über die Ernte zweier leckerer Mandarinen im Garten hinter dem Haus.

Lieber Albus, es tut uns leid dass wir Ihre Erwartungen nicht voll erfüllen konnten. Hinsichtlich der Toilette haben wir mit unserer Verwaltung gesprochen, die wurden sich des Problems erst bei der Reinigung des Hauses nach Ihrer Abreise bewusst, ansonsten wäre das Problem umgehend behoben worden. Die eigenständige Müllentsorgung ist Standard in der Region, selbst in den Dörfern wird der Müll nur an Sammelplätzen bzw. Containern abgeholt. Und unser nächstgelegener Sammelplatz ist ein Umweg von max. 1 Minute - wann immer man in einen der umliegenden Orte fährt. Wir hoffen Sie konnten den Urlaub trotzdem genießen!
