We worked with the great people at Zahara Villas to choose a house for for a holiday of more than two weeks. We love modern, so this place seemed a perfect fit.
About a ten minute drive from the village of Zahara de los Atunes, this is a luxurious area and has an absolutely pristine beach (Playa de los Alemanes). While the villa is located a few streets back from the beach itself, you have a lot of privacy and a bit removed from the weekend beach visitors... the walk down is easy, the walk back up less easy. There's a covered area with room for two cars and enough space for another car in a pinch. The property is fenced with a remote controlled gate for entry.
The design of villa is superb, effectively two connected cubes... one cube hosting the double height living room, kitchen, and loft area... the other cube featuring two bedrooms on the bottom floor and the master suite on the top. What you have is three bedrooms with stunning views of the sea, all with modern bathing areas. This allows sleeping for 6 people, while the loft over the kitchen can sleep another 1 or 2, albeit without a bath area. Our son actually preferred the loft to a bedroom!
The kitchen and living room are very comfortable and well appointed... many villa rentals are stocked with low cost items (furniture, glassware, cookware), but the owner of Sueno del Mar has invested wisely and everything is good quality - a really nice surprise. Like the bedrooms, views from the living room and kitchen are superb. There's also a flat panel television with built-in Netflix as well as satellite, a nice touch for movie nights.
While there is often a strong breeze, summers can be quite warm. Thankfully, the air conditioning can be separately controlled for each room. Each of the rooms has a terrace area, again with great views and very relaxing. The garden is terraced, with a few steps down to the swimming area. Plenty of sun lounges on the deck surround a large pool (heating is an option)... and best of all a dining and barbecue area with a straw roof - very cool. There's even a toilet and outdoor shower, very convenient so no mess in the house. And if you venture further, you'll find another set of stairs leading to a hot tub. All areas have fabulous views, amazing at sunset.
We loved this villa and slept very well. The owner clearly has great taste and the people at Zahara Villas responded immediately to any questions or small problems. Highly Recommended.
