My 2 little boys and I have just returned from a perfect week in Spain staying at Finka Lioness.
Due to various delays we didn’t arrive at the house until 10pm. Despite being several hours later than planned, we were warmly welcomed by Mildred who was extremely helpful in showing us round and explaining the need to knows of the house.
It was dark when we arrived however this made waking up the next morning to the spectacular views and the beauty of the place much more special. Each morning I enjoyed a coffee outside overlooking the views of the sun rising from behind the hills, this is something I could never get bored of seeing, it was stunning!
The week we stayed was particularly hot, this made us appreciate the pool (and our air con) a whole lot more. The water was perfect to cool down in and remained lovely and warm through the evening meaning night time swims were pleasant too. The pool has 4 steps down then initially is fairly shallow, this was perfect for my two little boys to safely enjoy the water. The pool then gradually gets much deeper meaning it’s also perfect for adults.
There were noises of dogs barking at times through the night and the little road along the front of the house was busier at times than I had expected it to be, however I believe every new place has different noises that you soon get used to.
The house is located a couple of minutes drive down a bumpy track to reach the main road, then another 5-10 minutes along the road to Coin. This was my first time driving on the right and found this drive easily manageable. Coin has many shops, restaurants and pretty much everything you could need.
The remoteness of the house meant that my boys and I could relax and make noise without disturbing others. There is an electric gate requiring key entry to get on to the driveway meaning I also felt safe and secure staying here. The owners house is set back a bit behind the holiday house, however we had complete privacy and were able to roam freely round the house and garden without being overlooked.
This house was perfect for us to experience real Spain rather than being restricted to the busy tourist holiday resorts. The area is beautiful to drive round with many breathtaking views and lovely places to explore.
Overall we all had a lovely stay and hope to come back and see Mildred again soon.
