The Villa

This Villa is in excellent condition.

There are many benefits of renting your own detached Villa such as not having to share a pool, it is quieter, and more tranquil and so the list goes on. This Villa is located in Seron which is in the province of Almeria. This is above Costa Del Sol but lower than Costa Blanca. The best Airport to fly to is Almeria (1 hour 15 minute drive away) which is serviced by Ryan Air and Easyjet in the summer. Granada Airport (Ryan Air) is a similar distance away. Some fly to Malaga, Alicante and Murcia but they are a slightly longer drive away.

Of course, a detached villa is more expensive than an apartment but if you have two families sharing there will not be much of a difference than renting two apartments. Below is a picture of the local Town followed by further information.

 
 

The detached Villa is set a couple of miles outside of Town so is a car journey away. The Villa has two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Maybe I should say shower rooms as there are no baths. One of these is an en-suite.

All Bedrooms are of a large double size. One bedroom with the en-suite has a king size bed, one double bedroom has a double bed and the other large double can have bunk beds and a single bed (or just two singles) along with a large arm chair. More mattresses are available if required. There is also a large TV in the bedroom with bunk beds so if you have kids (or Dads) that want to bring their Wii or play station then please do so.

There are also English TV channels in the lounge area where there are two settees. A large range of DVDs are also available.

The pool was constructed approx three years ago. It was built to my specifications. It was not the cheapest way of building a pool but if you want something a little different……. As you will see from the picture below there is a small pool with inner seating and it is probably less than 1 metre deep. The larger pool has a shallow end of approx. 1.5 metres and the deep end is just less than 2 metres. This is a pool you can swim in, not one that you bang your knees on when you reach the shallow end. There are a few floats left hanging around so you can have a ‘dangle' around in the pool if you are not too energetic. The pool is fenced in so it is safe for kids if you need to keep them out of the pool, as long as you lock the gate when not in use. The entire land is completely fenced in as well so along with the location it is about as safe as you can get.

 

 

There are grapes growing around the house. Some are Winter grapes and others are good to eat at the start of September. In total there is about 2 acres of land.

I have a large fridge freezer here, and I also have an additional beer fridge and another freezer if you need the space. The additional fridge is a great idea for drinks. I also have an outside electric plug so good for your music etc. All the usuals here for a property of the calibre, Washing machine, iron, micro wave, 5 ring gas hob, slightly less than eye level oven, granite work tops, breakfast bar etc. See below for more photos.

Who is this property suitable for?

Well, I have an opinion, maybe a wrong one but here goes. With the views of the mountains and the tranquility of it all, I would say it is suitable for someone that likes no hassle, a bit of piece and quiet and wants a change from the busy coastal resorts. Having said that, with the coast being a short drive away, it is not too far to take the kids to the Aqua Park and beach. The Aqua Park and beach are one hour away. If you have teenagers that need night clubs then this is not the place for them although I believe there is a club that stays open until 6am in the local town but it would not be that big. It is as far removed from your night club scene as you can get, but bring your MP3 player and plug it into the amp in the lounge or the small portable speakers and you can have your own party.

The Villa is on the Tom Tom Sat Nav and I will supply a DVD with directions before you travel. The DVD will also have details of how to get to the local supermarket, bars etc.

The place is located outside the White Washed Village of Seron in Andalucia, Southern Spain. It is closest to Almeria Airport but people could also travel from the Airports of Alicante, Murcia, Granada and Malaga . Almeria is 1 hour fifteen minutes away and Granada a little further. The other airports are about 2 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours away. Don't forget that you could always get a ferry to Northern Spain and drive the rest of the way down and back. If you book your ferry early enough the price is not too bad. You can book now with P & O form Portsmouth for summer 2010 and Brittany Ferries from the South West, driving time from Bilboa or Santander is about 9 hours plus stops. I have also driven through France. Driving time would be about 21 hours from Calais for two of you. Go to Reims and Lyon, miss Paris, that is asking for trouble going through Paris!

Is it sunny?

Yes, the property is located in the only desert area in Europe . It rarely rains but I don't control the weather so nothing is 100% guaranteed but it as close to having no rain as you can get in Europe I would say. This property is located in an area that is not as humid as the coastal areas so it is normally a bit more comfortable of a night and also during the day. The daytime temperatures in the summer are normally in the mid thirties.

Prices and available dates.

This property is only available to rent for a short period of the year as I do not rent this place in Winter or early spring. The Pool is open June to September 2010.

May will be charged at a daily rate of £92 and all other days are charged at £125 per day. A deposit (non refundable) of £300 is required up front and the remaining rental money to be paid 12 weeks before occupation. Failure to pay this money on time will result in your booking being cancelled. Sorry to be so tough but I have had a couple of dreamers in the past handing over small deposits and then canceling at the last minute and then it is too late to re let the property at short notice. No pets allowed under any circumstances.

How many does it sleep – Well there are enough beds for 7 people but if you are willing to fit more on mattresses on the floor, you could probably get another two in to take it to nine. I also have a travel cot if required.

Please go to the 'contact us' page with any inquiries or phone +44 (0)1634 310 544. Holiday lets only and no long term rentals available on this property, but discounts given on bookings of over two weeks. No other hidden fees but damages must be paid for by way of a deposit.
