Guest comments
Here are some comments from guests who stayed at our villa during 2006: Richard Freer – April 2006, This is one of the best holiday rentals we have visited in over 20 years through France, Spain and Holland. The standard of the house, its location, equipment, furnishings and preparation were excellent. Alan Giles – June 2006, Thank-you so much for a wonderful holiday. The place was incredible. Position, quality, facilities – all marvellous. We are likely to go again next year.

Kay Barber and family – July 2006, A truly remarkable find! A home from home with absolutely everything anyone could need – we can honestly say that it was the best equipped property that we have ever stayed in – you should blow your own trumpet more on your website in this respect! Thank you for letting us experience such a lovely home in wonderful surroundings (we particularly loved the gentleman herding his flock of sheep and goats past the property each day, their bells making a wonderfully atmospheric sound). We shall definitely keep the details for the future, and would be really grateful if you could keep us posted of any other properties you turn your hand to! Wayne Bulleid and family - August 2006, The break is exactly what we were looking for, restful, space, unspoilt views, private and to be in (and on occasion live) the same environment of “Old Spain” (we even got to see the Venta Baja August Fiesta!). The villa is in an idyllic location.
