About the home

Just imagine a beautiful villa, set in secluded gardens, minutes from the beach and the wonderfully traditional town of Chiclana de la Frontera. You get that super beach based holiday while also enjoying all the splender of a true Spanish culture. This lovely villa is an ideal holiday home for you and your family, or several families with plenty of space for everyone. Having two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs also gives an extra convenience for families with young children, older parents or different couples that want some privacy.

The villa is set amongst pine trees in the quiet residential area of La Rana Verde. It has 5 double bedrooms and three bathrooms including a master bedroom with en suite and a wonderful 4 poster bed. All three bedrooms on the 1st floor have patio doors leading out onto the terrace with beautiful views of the garden.
Downstairs there are two further bedrooms, one twin and one double and a bathroom.
There is a fully fitted kitchen complete with dish washer and washing machine, microwave and large fridge freezer. Leading through an arch to a separate dining room with seating for 8 (this is our least used room as most guests like to eat outside and enjoy the lovely sunshine)
Off the kitchen is the lounge with leather sofas. English tv, dvd and video players. We have stacks of dvds and videos for your use. There is also a karaoke machine for those of you who fancy a sing and a party.
We have free internet access available via cable or wifi.

The house is situated in secluded private gardens with a larger than average, 10 x 5 metre swimming pool with roman steps to get in easily. The garden is enclosed by a high wall and has an electric gate.
We also have a table tennis table (fantastic for entertaining the youngsters or a bit of keep fit)
On the lawn there is an ornate table and chairs along with the Spanish BBQ, perfect for dining alfresco.
We also have a large covered porch area with comfortable seating, perfect for chilling out with a cool glass of sangria. Here there is another dining area, seating 10 for those who prefer to eat in the shade.

We are 6 minutes by car to the beach which means you can enjoy all the joys of the seaside, but not the noise when you just want to relax in your own garden. There are 3 supermarkets just down the road, including Lidel and Supersol. There are several Spanish ventas and restaurants and also a pharmacy nearby.

Please remember to look at the photo gallery and our web site, see link below.

The Costa de la Luz region

Welcome to the Costa de la Luz- the coast of light. So called because it is so sunny. It is the province of Andalucia where you can find a true taste of spain. Traditional flamenco and tapas are fantastic here.

The beaches are just fantastic ranging from the ideal family beach with gently sloping sands to the craggy coastline dominated by rugged coves and cliffs which are fantastic for snorkelling and fishing. It is the Atlantic ocean and is beautifully clear and aguamarine.

We have lovely short winters and plenty of sunshine so we spend lots of time out of doors – strolling along the long sandy beaches, playing golf, sailing, taking part in one of the many local fiestas or my favourite - just sitting on the terrace of a bar, enjoying the local food and wine.

Festivals - well Spain is just full of them. Ladies and children dress in colourful flamenco costumes, many on beautiful horses. Its a great chance to enjoy tapas, drink the local sherries and dance - watch the locals dance Sevillanas, the traditional flamenco dance. It is such a great experience and a shame to miss.

Jerez Motor GP April 27th. If you are looking for somewhere to stay for the motor GP, then look no further. Our villa is superbly situated, only 30 minutes to the track in Jerez and 6 minutes to the beach. Most importantly an automatic gate to keep your bikes secure. Why not get a group together?

The best things about this coast are the glorious beaches, unspoilt towns and villages, dramatic sunsets and huge nature reserves. You may not find an all-night foam party but you can dance on the beach till dawn, sample the locally made sherries and savour some of the best food in Spain.

If golf is what you are looking for then Andalucia is a must! There are 10 golf courses, including 4 championship courses, all within 40 minutes drive, from the villa. You can hire a car yourself or we can organise a full package for you including transportation. Your clubs will always be fully secure inside our gated walls. Chiclana one of the sunniest places in Spain and has ideal weather for golf.

We can arrange all your golf for you before you come.

So much to see so little time to see it

The Chiclana / Rana Verde area

Chiclana is an typical old Andalucian town with an interesting history and access to some of the best beaches in all of Spain. The town has a wide range of shops as well as bars, restaurants, markets and sherry bodegas. In the town centre you'll find narrow streets and courtyards filled with flowers - typical of this region of Spain.

The centre, located around the town hall square and the covered market, is bustling and lively. The market has an array of fruit and vegetables, fish and meat stalls. Also a weekly market with all your holiday must buys!

Villa Aurora is an excellent base for touring Andalusia. Seville, Gibraltar, Bolonia, Caños de Meca and the Pueblos Blancos all a great day out and not far away. Here are a few of my favourite things to do:

1. Watch the fantastic horse show in the Real Escuela del Arte Andaluz in Jerez.. No one should miss these magnificent dancing stallions and the riders in all their finery
2. Take the ferry over to Morocco, Africa for the day - ride a camel or haggle in the markets for a bargain
3. Drive to Gibraltar (90 mins) and do some tax free shopping, take a cable car ride, visit the famous rock, Barbary apes and caves
4. Visit Jerez (40 mins), world famous for its flamenco, sherry & brandy bodegas! I can recommend a visit to the Tio Pepe bodega for an organised tour.
5. For the kids there is the Isla Magica theme park in Seville, a zoo and crocodile farm in Jerez and a waterpark in Puerto de Santa Maria (and don´t forget crabbing in the rock pools)
6. Drive into the mountains and visit a (pueblo blanco) white village such as Arcos with its magnificent cliff views, ancient Medina Sidonia or hill-top Vejer de la Frontera with its cobblestone streets and beautiful plaza.
7. Take a boat trip up the Guadalquivir river to the Donana natural park to see the spectacular wildlife including flamingoes galore.
8. Visit Bolonia and see the ancient Roman ruins and huge sand dues with views of Morroco.
9. G to the oldest city in Europe, Cadiz and explore an enchanting spider web of narrow alleyways dotted with atmospheric tavernas
10. Watch a fantastic flamenco show whilst eating tapas on a warm sultry evening

If you wish to do some sport whilst you are here the choice is huge.

Sailing and Windsurfing: there is a large marina at Novo Sancti Petri and also a windsurfing school.
Golf:: As mentioned above the choice is huge.
Horse riding : the length and beauty of the beaches make them ideal for a long horse ride or a stroll through the pine forrestis so romantic.
Tennis/Padel : There are several clubs in Chiclana where you can play.
Bike riding. We have many official tourist routes here in Chiclana. Available to hire locally
Fishing: The altantic is full of fish and you can find plenty of trips in Chiclana and Cadiz including shark fishing.
Bird watching: This is also the best part of Spain to see all the bird life.

Spain is renowned for its fiestas and ferias Chiclana is no exception and tapas, processions, bullfighting and flamenco are part of every life in Chiclana. If you are in the area around June 13 Feria is a must! You will see all the old customs, flamenco dresses and caballero hats. Going from stall to stall, you will hear flamenco singing and dancing and of course a fun fair that is out of this world.

Walking: Chiclana has a tourist route known as The Seven Magical Places of Chiclana. More information can be given on arrival.

Our villa is set right in the middle between the town of Chiclana and the beaches and golf courses of Barrossa. It is a lovely secluded residential area set amongst pine trees.

A perfect location to start your holiday or base for your golfing expedition.

Well, where to start! What a fantastic villa. You have all been so welcoming and helpful. We had never been to this part of Spain before and have all fallen for its charms - none of us want to go home. The beaches are fantastic and the horse ridding was great.
Thank you for a great holiday and we hoe to come back soon.
Love from the Welshies. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Greeting from Estonia!

Our holiday was great and more! We enjoyed every minute in here and it's so sad that the dream has ended.
Definitely we recommend your villa as 10 stars and if possible - we will be back.
Prut, Alexander, Adrian, Sveta, Erkki and Flaro x

What a brilliant time we have had. The swimming pool was used non-stop, except when we were at the beach. The chill out bar at Barossa was good after a hot afternoon at the beach. Thanks for telling us about the Feria - it was the highlight for all of us. We loved the villa - it suited us perfectly even down to the karaoke machine. Many many thanks and see you in October - can't can't wait
Love from the Normies xxxx

Dear Jan and Greg
We've had a fantastic holiday here at Villa Aurora. The combination of your very well equipped villa, the pool, Barossa beach and Chiclana fish market has resulted in all holiday boxes being ticked.
We really appreciate the 'extra touches' that you provide and they all add up to what is already a great set up.
Many thanks
The Jimenez family. x

Thank you very much for providing a fantastic setting for our family holiday this year. The villa, pool and gardens were really fantastic. We had lots of great evenings enjoying the warmth, cooking on the BBQ and playing ping - pong.
The Legge familiy

The 10 of us were al very pleased by our stay in your villa. Everyone found something to do from cooking, reading, playing ping pong, swimming in the lovely pool or simply relaxing around the pool surrounded by a marvellous garden, that we can easily compare with paradise. To make it short everthing was perfect. Speaking with you was always a good ime and definitely a place to recommend for whoever wants to spend a nice holiday here.
We would all love to come back.
Love from France and Norfolk

We have had an excellent autumn break - the home is very good and the weather was remarkable.
Since the Spanish eat late we found some very good tapas places in Cadiz Jerez and Seville.
We really like this part of Andalusia and will probably be back.
