Stunning villa in a stunning location

The villa is as good, if not better than the pictures. The host was great and Ana, the housekeeper, made sure we were very well looked after. The location is fantastic- incredible views across the beautiful sandy beaches of Zahara. I would definitely visit again. Thanks, Paul

a wonderful house and a betautiful region

We spend two weeks vacation with a party of 11 people at the house. The service with Anna and Arturo were excellent. The house and the equipment, furniture fullfill 100 % the descriptions. We feel very well in the environmental. The view from the house to the beach and into the region were spectacular

Unglaublich tolles Haus, wunderschöner Ort, toller Service

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dieser fantastischen Villa sehr genossen! Das Haus und die Zimmer sind ein Traum, die Lage und der Ausblick atemberaubend. Am meisten hat uns der Service begeistert, von der Sekunde der Buchung bis zur Abreise wurde sich Bestens um uns gekümmert. Carmen, die Haushälterin kommt täglich und macht die beste Paella der Welt. Wir haben uns selten irgendwo so Zuhause und Willkommen gefühlt wie hier! Einziges Manko da wir im November dort waren ist dass der Pool nicht beheizt ist.

Ein rundum toller Urlaub in einem tollen, gepflegten und sauberem Haus

Das Haus hat eine atemberaubende Lage mit toller Aussicht. Von allen Schlafzimmern hat man Blick aufs Meer. Die Küche ist komplett eingerichtet. Jeden Vormittag kam das Hauskeeping und hat aufgeräumt, geputzt, gewaschen! Toller Service!

an incredible house

We felt very comfortable in the house in Zahara. The rooms are amazing, the equipment is great and you have sea view from every room. Despite the location on the mountain you can reach the beach in just a few minutes. A special thanks goes to Carmen, who has looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay. All in all a great stay in a great place. Thanks.

Impressive villa

The most amazing thing about the villa is the view, it's fantastic and can be viewed from all rooms. The three double bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is well equipped, and everything is clean and well maintained. We were a large family staying a week in the villa, 7 grown ups and 6 children (15 to 8 years old), and everybody loved the place. We stayed in the house a lot, relaxing by the pool and had great meals (inside and outside). There is a path to the beach, so we often walked down to swim in the sea. The road to the house is narrow and steep, but we never had any problems driving there. Fernando, Curro and Carmen were all great, making sure that our stay was the best possible. We would love to stay in the house again, and fully recommend it.

Impresionante villa con todo tipo de comodidades

La villa es fabulosa. Está perfectamente cuidada. Las habitaciones son amplias y las vistas inmejorables. Una vez estas dentro, ¡no quieres salir!. Gracias a Fernando, Curro y Virtudes, que nos dieron todo tipo de facilidades. Por poner una pega: la sinuosa carretera casi sin asfaltar y con curvas que nos hizo rozar el coche, pero es un mal menor. Fuí con toda mi familia y todos estamos deacuerdo en que repetiremos, sin duda. Ha sido una estancia espectacular. No dejen de alojarse en ella. Muchas gracias.

Views and comfort all week long

With our group of 14 friends, we had a great relaxing week in Zahara de los Atunes, we had great food and met nice people. The housekeeper comes in every day and even made us a great paella and tuna dinner one night and it was phenomenal. We definitely come back next time we are in the area again. Thanks so much for everything.

Fantastic Villa! Fantastic Views! Fantastic Hospitality!

I have traveled to many parts of the world and if you want to relax in a beautiful home, with amazing views and receive wonderful hospitality - there is no other choice but this villa. The pictures for this villa are very good but actually being there - everything is much better! And it is a new home so everything is clean and perfect. You can choose to cook in the large kitchen or drive to nearby great restaurants. Though once you're at the villa - you'll want to stay there and admire the amazing views. No negative comments about the villa. One recommendation when driving to the villa - drive slowly on the last street to the villa (Urb Atlanterra G). I grew up with narrow streets but some people may not be familiar.

What a surprise...

I booked this villa for a group of 14 people, just seeing the pictures on the web. The concern was if it was consistent with the reality. The most amazing thing to see was the faces of the other 13 when we entered... The reality is much more impressive than the pictures ! The house is astonishing, very well furnished, high class finishes, impressive quality and beautiful. The position is amazing, with the view of the gulf. Fernando was very kind and punctual, he did not leave out any details, including the appetizer on arrival :) Very very very recommended for a high level vacation. Thank you Fernando. Giorgio and the other 13.
