Guestbook for Gwynfynydd
We have had such a great holiday in this haven of yours,this place is absolutely fabulous. Stewart and Clare McNeil, Sept 08.
We had an absolutely fantastic time and we wish we were still there. Fran Wright and family August 08
We have just returned from 4 very relaxing days in a beautiful location. The villa is fantastic on the outskirts of a traditional Spanish village. The icing on the cake for us was the fantastic weather. We spent 2 days at the beach, visiting Aguilas and San Jaun De Los Terreros. Also took the opportunity to eat at the 2 Michelin star restaurants in Velez Blanco. Leighton and Rebecca Phillips.
Stayed at the cortijo for 4 weeks during June / July whilst our apartment was being refurbished. Wonderful location, breath taking views, village is idyllic. Enjoyed the facilities, pool was fantastic. The local agent and meet and greet was very well organised. Highly recommended. 'Chas and Di Hartley ( now resident in Velez Blanco)
