Guestbook
Well what can I say!!!! A great holiday was had by all and we would most definitely consider staying in your lovely Villa again!! It is beautifully decorated/finished and had everything possibly required in BBQ (although we didn't use this), iron and ironing board, hairdryer, washing machine, hoover (which I also didn't use I am afraid - well I was on holiday!), pans, cutlery, crockery, cleaning stuff etc etc - J O'Keeffe - May 2007
We would like to say that our stay at your villa was delightful. We fully enjoyed our holiday as a whole and found everything we needed. The description of the villa advertised was exact , all the required amenities such as shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Everything was just perfect. We will definitely enquire with yourself about availability for our future visits to that area of spain. We were that pleased that we have already recommended your villa to others. As long as the future renters have a vehicle then they can enjoy a vaster experience of spain at your villa by taking in the beach holiday accompanied by experiencing the local towns and fiesta's. Thanks again - R & C Brooking. June 2007
