Just returned from a lovely relaxing week at Mark's property. Booking the villa and the communication afterwards was very easy and Mark always replied promptly to my numerous emails, sorry Mark!
The Villa was perfect for all our needs and spotlessly clean. We arrived earlier then the check in time and was able to go into the villa as we had arranged this before we arrived, which was lovely. I ordered an online shop for the day of arrival so we had some supplies which worked well, even though the delivery was late as the driver got lost! The drive from Almeria Airport is very straight forward and took about 50 minutes. All the facilities which you would need in a villa have been provided to a high standard and the pool area is wonderful! We had lots of lovely BBQ's in the villa and also visited the on site Restaurant on a couple of occasions which was very good indeed, both the service and the food were excellent, there is live music on a Sunday night as well. There is also a little Tapas Bar about two minutes walk from the villa which was also great and very cheap!
On site there is also a games room containing table football, darts and table tennis. Rackets etc can be picked up from the Security Office for hire, costs 5 euros for the day. There is also a fabulous communal swimming pool with loads of sun beds but we didn't feel the need to use it, as we had our own lovely pool and Jacuzzi at the villa. However, it was always empty and the surrounding gardens and stream are beautiful for an evening stroll on the way to the restaurant.
Steve, who looks after the property in Spain, is incredibly helpful and on hand to help at any needed time. When my shopping delivery didn't turn up, he chased it up for me and even came to the Villa to direct the driver, nothing was too much trouble for him, so thank you Steve for everything!
You definitely need a car here. The town is about half an hours walk away, but in the heat there was no way my lot would walk there! The supermarket is excellent and only 5 minutes drive from the villa.
To summarise, I would 100% recommend this villa if you just want a holiday to chill and relax and don't mind driving whilst on holiday.
