Stayed for a week in August 2023. The owner, Pam, went above and beyond to help us in any way she could with the booking and providing lots of useful information. Definitely felt we had lucked out with this very comfortable little villa.
We loved everything about our holiday. Great villa, community, pool and area. Pam is fantastic and made sure everything was ok throughout, thank you! We highly recommend this villa.
Firstly, the photos do not do this beautiful property justice! Have had 2 fantastic weeks in this gorgeous villa and genuinely could not recommend it enough. Less than a minute’s walk to 2 great pools and bars, restaurants and supermarket are less than 10 minutes walk away. The best thing about this property, however, is its owner Pam. Her help and advice throughout made our holiday so easy and stress free. Nothing has been too much trouble and she was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
We had such a lovely week renting this beautiful villa! The villa was really clean and very well equipped, a real home from home.
Pam was really kind and accommodating in so many ways for example arranging stair gates for our young children.
The villa was in a great location for exploring both on and off the resort.
We will definitely be back!
Thanks again Pam for a really lovely stay in your beautiful villa
Well....on arrival, late on a Saturday, things weren't as expected.
The villa hadn't been prepared by the management company and was in some disarray.
However, a quick message to Pam, who I have to say, was absolutely shocked, and things were sorted.
Pam contacted us immediately, apologising, and was clearly upset. We were offered alternative accommodation for the night, at the owner's expense, which we gratefully accepted.
Picked up within 20 mins and booked into the resort hotel, with a great room and breakfast included.
Another pick up at 1300 and back to a spotless villa, and an amazing welcome pack in the fridge. Couldn't find fault at all.
Whilst the initial arrival was a little disappointing, Pam responded and sorted things immediately. We couldn't have hoped for a better customer service and felt her pain and disappointment in having been let down by the management company.
We ended up having a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday after having been to La Manga Club for many years between us.
Thanks to Pam and we would certainly recommend staying at this villa again.
Pam...you're a star and thank you for making things work so quickly.

Fabulous villa for families
We are a family of four, two adults with two boys (6 & 2). We stayed here for May half-term. The weather was beautiful and as the villa had all the comforts of home making it made a very relaxing holiday - well, as relaxing as it can be with two boys!
We had a cot in our room (organised by the owner), though she said we could have hired a bed guard if he was in a bed - good to know for our next visit - and with the roof fans it made it easy for the toddler to sleep. The washing machine meant we didn't have to take a load of washing home. Also with the ground floor access straight from the road it meant no lugging of heavy cases and buggies!
The terraces were a charm - with gates at the front and on the roof it meant the boys were contained so no need to worry about them wandering off or falling down the stairs.
They happily played football on the front terrace whilst I was able to sit down! What a treat!
The nearest pool was less than 1 minute walk down a path. There was a small main pool and a baby pool.
Would recommend this to other families as the owner was kind enough to help organise car hire for us and a welcome pack.
A lovely home from home - we will be back!

Great place to stay
Just spent a great week staying at this lovely villa, everything was as described by the owner, The other reviews all seemed so good we wondered if the villa would live up to our expectations and it more than did. From the moment we entered we felt right at home, the welcome pack was very welcome.
The complex itself has more than enough to do if you don't want to venture out too far, well stocked supermarkets, shops and places to eat, we dined out a couple of times and had great value meals, The tapas at La Barra were really nice.
We made use of the 2 pools closest to us and each time we had them to ourselves.
Although not absolutely necessary I would recommend hiring a car to get you out and about to all the great places to visit, the cities of Cartagena and Murcia are a real must if you get the chance.
It would be difficult to fault our weeks stay, and if we ever come back to this part of Spain I will be giving Casa Luigi's owner Pam another call.
Thank you so much Pam for the use of your villa, Graham & Carol :-)

Mediterranean Oasis
Our party consisted of two young teenage sons and their mums and could not have been a more perfect place for us to stay. The boys were free to roam safely at Le Manga and swim and play tennis/table-football/pool etc and take themselves off for lunch. Whilst us mums had leisurely breakfasts on the terrace and decided what pool to visit for the day. The Villa was a perfect size and had all that we required and in a very central yet peaceful location. We hired a car for the duration which enabled us to stock up at the local supermarket and visit local restaurants in Los Belones and historic sites in Cartagena. By eating two meals a day at the villa we were able to eat out for the other meal at an average cost of 70 Euros (incl tip) for four persons. We were only disappointed with Uncle Sams Burger Bar, the food was bland, unexciting and expensive at £14.00 for a burger I would not recommend that place. The Le Manga Club and its environs are beautifully maintained and the surroundings are lush and tropical. If you are wanting a relaxing break with all the conveniences of home - except the weather - then look no further. Left home/Suffolk at 8am and arrived at the Villa at 4.30pm, sat by the pool until 8pm bliss.

Sunshine and relaxation
We spent a beautiful week here in this lovely villa in August 2009 and had such a pleasant relaxing time. The villa is very well-appointed, clean and comfortable and there was more than enough space for us - four adults. We could choose to sit in the sunshine or the shade as there are three different sun terraces. There are also swimming pools close at hand. The views from the villa are lovely and it is located in a good position within the La Manga Club resort. We had a lot of fun on the 9 hole "pitch and putt" course.There are several good eating places within walking distance but a short drive can take you to the beach restaurant at Cabo where both the fish dishes and the sea views are exquisite. The owner had provided useful information and from that we decided to visit Cartagena which boasts a Roman amphitheatre and an excellent museum. We actually paid a second visit to the town as it had so much to offer. If you like to spend time on the beach the one at Calblanque in the National Park next to La Manga club is well worth a visit. All in all it was a very pleasant place to stay and we would like to return there before too long.

A really relaxing break
My husband and I stayed at the villa in late summer. The villa is very light and spacious and has a nice 'home from home' feel about it. It was clean and quiet and very comfortable. The owner provided a folder with information on the area and how to use the sporting facilities around the complex which was really thoughtful and helpful in planning our stay. The weather was fantastic and brilliantly, the villa has a sun terrace for every time of the day! The front terrace gets the morning sun and the barbeque terrace near the kitchen gets the lovely evening sun, perfect for the (several) barbeques we had during our stay. For real sun lovers there is a terrace on the roof of the property which gets all day sun.
It's in a great location too as you are really close to supermarkets, restaurants and a short drive from the beaches, as well as the local town of Cabo de Palos. We would definitely recommend the harbour at Cabo for dinner as the fresh seafood is delicious!
Would definitely stay here again for a nice relaxing sun holiday or with a groups of friends.

Fun in the Sun
I would highly recommend the place, the location and the accommodation as a holiday destination. I stayed with close friends and the apartment was bright and roomy and well equipped for a girlie break. I am considering returning with my husband (a golfer) as it would be an ideal place for relaxation for me and golf for him.
I flew from Stansted and the transfer was very straightforward. There are plenty of places to eat and go out in the evening.

Fantastic Villa in a lovely location
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at your villa. The surroundings are spectacular and the villa is in a great spot. The facilities are excellent and the villa is equipped superbly.
The villa was immaculate and I would highly recommend staying here to friends and family of all ages. I stayed here with a group of friends and can honestly say that we were all extremley satisfied, we had time to relax around the villa and use the pools during the day and then visit a variety of the restaurants in the evening.
About the host
Hosted by Pam Simpson
I am retired and moved to York to be near my family. I grew up around Nottingham and then moved and lived in Manchester for 30 years.
Why they chose this property
As a family we used to visit La Manga Club many times for our family holiday and then for long weekends. Over Christmas and New Year 2005/6 we saw and fell in love with Casa Luigi -El Rancho 19. We purchased in the Spring of 2005/6. I still love visiting my Home from Home in Spain. As I prefer to be out in La Manga in the Spring, Winter and Autumn I decided to rent out the villa for the periods when I am not in residence
What makes this property unique
We have three large terraces I provide a welcome pack sufficient for a quick snack before the inevitable shopping trip. Being my Home from Home, the kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery There is ample storage area for clothes with plenty of hangers. La Manga Club is self sufficient with supermarkets, banks , petrol station, hotel , spa and restaurants but equally there are restaurants and shops in the surrounding villages that are well worth a visit
