The Andalucia / Almeria Province region


Visiting Spain is not only about sun, great cuisine, and a warm welcome, but also its rich monumental heritage and dazzling natural environment. The Almeria region has a diversity of landscapes from the beaches, across the desert plains to the soaring mountains. There is a perfect destination for everyone.
Unlike a number of Spanish regions that are visited by tourists from around the world, the majority of Almeria maintains it's historic Spanish character.
The Velez Rubio / Los Molinos Almeria area
Velez Rubio is located within the Velez Natural Park. It's rich heritage is illustrated by the spectatcular church in the middle of town which can be seen from miles around. The Los Velez area comprises Velez Rubio, Velez Blanco, Chirivel, Maria and dozens of villages and hamlets. The area is still very much Real Spain and has not been spoilt by over-development or anglification.The area around Los Velez is an area of outstanding natural beauty with activities for many outdoor pursuits. Cueva de los Letreros, a Unesco World Heritiage Site, is the park's most well-known cave, with some of Europe's most important rock paintings including Indalo Man, the regions symbol.
Velez Rubio hosts a number of fiestas throughout the year and has a full range of local restaurants and bars catering for most tastes.
Less than an hour away is the Mini Hollywood Theme park. An array of Hollywood blockbusters have been filmed in the area including The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Laurance of Arabia. Mini Hollywood is a whole day experience with a full size Zoo, Waterpark and the film sets, with regular shows.
The Desert Springs Golf course is a short drive away. This unique golf experience is frequented by a range of golfers from around the world.

The villa itself is lovely and the views are breathtaking. Velez Rubio is very Spanish and so much the better for that! We were 2 families and in the first half of our holiday the pool was wonderful. However we then experienced issues around the cleanliness and look of the pool which were blamed on suncream although we did shower first, meaning despite cleaning operations by Sarah we lost the use of the pool for our last 4 days. We were forced to use (and pay for) the village pool- albeit recommended! We found out later that these callouts were charged against our security deposit and this despite being told that the filter was too small for the pool/group usage! Also beware the advert is not wholly accurate - PS2 advertised was not working and the games room was akin to a sauna after sunrise and until sunset i.e. far too hot for the children to endure/enjoy. And be aware the villa is not 2 minutes drive or walk from the village - try 5/10 and 25 minutes respectively, remembering that the last part of the route is a dirt track which will test your hire car's suspension and steering! Response: Thank you for being the first to review our house utilising the new TripAdvisor Service. We appreciate yor feedback and as you will see have acted upon it where appropriate. With reference to the pool, a number of 2 family groups have stayed with us without issue at the same time of the year. It would appear that the timer controlling the filtration system was incorrectly set; by whom we do not know, but this has now been rectified. The filter is certainly not too small for the pool. We apologise for any inconvienence this may have caused you and your family. I must comment that no charge for call out was incurred by you. At some point the PS/2 controllers have been broken without our knowledge. These have been replaced now we have been informed. As for the games room being a sauna, this is obviously a personal view but the room is equipped with both a fan and dehumidifier and previous guests have appreciated the facility. As for the distances; the nearest shop, DIA, is no more than a 2 minute drive, with the village centre a further 1-2 minutes. In our Guest Comments Book you noted that the Water Park was a 2 hour drive but we drove there in 54 minutes, so maybe you simply drive very slowly!! Yes the house in located on a 'camino' as are a large number of houses in rural Spain however the road is tarmaced to within 400m of the house gates and this is indicated on the last mile directions we send out. We try very hard not to be inaccurate with any of our instructions or comments. |

Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous holiday we had at your lovely house! You seemed to have thought of everything which made for a truly great experience! Sarah and Jason where really helpful and friendly and although we didn't really need to call on them it was nice to know they were on the other end of a phone! We would certainly like to return and were all very sad to leave yesterday!
Thank you for a fantastic holiday!
kind regards

The Traynor and Roberts family have had a lovely time at Casa De Collina villa. This holiday has been the most relaxing holiday we have had for a number of years. In the daytime the pool was great for us all to cool down in. In the night-time the terrace was great to relax and take in the lovely views of the town and mountains. Whilst at the villa a Fiesta was on in Velez Rubio town. The kids enjoyed the fair rides and stalls and the adults enjoyed the ambience. The Saturday market was friendly and the fruit and vegetables fresh and cheap. The facilities at the property were first class and enjoyed by all.

We just got back yesterday and we were all really sad to leave the villa, it was wonderful we have never had such a relaxing holiday. The kids loved the pool and cbeebies and if the kids are happy then so are we, you were a bit worried about the age of the kids but we had no problems, the two older ones loved the fact they had their own rooms upstairs and we slept below them. The breath taking views of Velez-Rubio, what a lovely place. we'll be back soon I hope
thanks
Heather Litster and family
Just a note to say thanks for a great week. The house was a joy to stay in, the views are absolutely stunning. The market on Saturday was like stepping back 50 years, with all the sounds and sights of real Spain and so cheap. We will booking again, thanks Beryl & family
This was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had. House was spotlessly clean on arrival and there was food in the cupboards we could eat after our late flight, very grateful, many thanks. Velez Rubio is a quite little town but the restaurants are very good, typical Spanish. Lots to see and do. Pool is great!!Thanks for providing a great base for our holiday. Will contact you soon about booking for next year Paul and Dani
