We just have had a wonderful week at the downstairs apartment of this amazing villa situated at a quiet end of the resort of Isla Canela. The property is one of a few in the same area, owned by the super friendly Katharina.
Villa Canela deserves a glorious 5-star review in terms of communications with the owner, cleanliness, reception, and value for money! The villa is just 30 steps away from the beach and the pool is fantastic, although due to end of October, it's a bit nippy and takes a bit of courage to step into it. It would be great if it could be heated for colder months, but we know this is too cheeky to ask, as this is pure luxury for us already! Due to the small size of the family, we usually can only rent a holiday apartment, this is the first time we ever have experienced a villa, thanks to the flexible design and rental options (it can be rented as two separate units or an entire villa)! The bar has been raised!! We will definitely return.
We can't stop singing praises of this well appointed villa and the 6 km long beautiful sandy beach at Isla Canela. In fact, several friends after seeing our holiday photos have asked for information already! It is definitely the perfect place for catching the winter sun, as it's very easy to get to, either 45 minutes away from Faro airport or 60 minutes from Seville. It was still 28 degree when we arrived, and about 24 degree when we left on 1st November. In comparison, it was only 5 degree when we came back to UK, brrrrr.... It goes without saying that the villa is perfect for summer holidays as well, but do expect the crowds!
We are almost reluctant to write this review because now that the secret is out, we might not be able to book it next time for our holiday due to popular demands. Thank you very much, Katharina. We'll be back soon!
