Words cannot really do justice to this gem of a house, tucked away in enchanting gardens with palms, fruit trees, flowering shrubs and trailing plants, and surrounded by tall hedges for total privacy and seclusion.
The house itself, formerly a small Spanish casita, has been lovingly restored and enlarged with taste and creativity. The owners have cleverly managed to create a warm, homely atmosphere, yet it is the last word in good taste and elegance - from the hand-made clay floor tiles, the double-glazed wood doors and windows, to the stylish furnishings and décor. In the garden room by the pool a touch of the Kasbah has been created, with Moroccan style furnishings and décor, and a ceiling fan. The house has central heating for the cooler months. For laptop users a broadband connection is included in the rental cost.
A 15/20 minute walk, or just a few minutes’ drive, takes one to the historic old town, and the Port is just 10 minutes’ drive away. The Arenal, with its safe sandy beach, is about 15 minutes by car. Both the Port and the Arenal offer lots of bars, restaurants and shops and a lively atmosphere. Two golf courses are very close by, and others are within a 20-minute radius. |
