Lovely place that feels really homely. Spotlessly clean and really big, the photos do not do the villa justice internally. Complex felt safe and they are trying hard to bring in additional businesses that would make the site more attractive. We prefer to eat out and the complex currently doesnât have many options available on site but Iâm sure that will change over time. Husband enjoyed the golf course. Would definitely return for a chilled break.
We live in the Scottish Borders in a quiet rural area and have been letting villas for 20 years. We stay abroad in the off season when the Scottish weather is gloomy so that we fit out the villa with all the necessary equipment that anyone including ourselves would require as a second home, including broadband internet connection etc. We also use very good local villa management services so that handing over keys, inventories and welcome packs are on hand. Also in case of emergencies they can help locally at hand with the knowledge and bilingual language efficiency skills that can deal with the sort of problems that car accidents, thefts, loss of passports, hospitals and police may occasion, which can become a nightmare if this sort of help is not available.
When it comes to ticking boxes our villa has it all that one could wish. The airport is within 40 mins drive, the local supermarket 6 mins, the golf club restaurant and bar 5mins the beach and La Manga 40 mins. The new Sheraton Hotel and Spa with superb facilities is also only six minutes away. The villa is located in a very quiet cul de sac. The house sits in it's own large garden looking onto the fairway and 13th tee with only the mountains beyond. The sun is guaranteed 300 days in the year and the sunsets are stunning. the garden has Bougainvillea olive trees and exotic palms. There are four bedrooms, 2 en-suite with enough room for eight adults to wine and dine in the conservatory area or huge patio overlooking the pool. We use the petanque pitch and the bicycles for a bit of fun and exercise.
The villa is an Arrecife 1 design, it is all on the ground floor so that it is more wheel chair friendly than any other villa at Hacienda. It has the largest open plan living area and patio of all villas at Hacienda, with a gorgeous internal courtyard filled with exotic plants providing a restful sheltered cloister from the midday sun.
