REVIEW
Fabulous three weeks at Villa Castillo de Mar which exceeded our expectations at every level.
The property was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable, with stunning views.
The heated pool (29C) AND hot tub (36C) on the huge roof terrace provided an extra level of luxury which made all the difference. Even with these extras the electricity cost was less than £50 per week.
The service we received from Cumbre Villas was flawless from start to finish. Christine provided us with a level of friendly, personal service that you rarely find these days.
Very detailed information was provided in the villa on every imaginable subject. Added to this we had extraordinarily good weather every day, cloudless blue skies, over 20C in the sun most days. What more can you ask?
If you can drag yourself away from the villa, the local attractions are well worth a visit, even out of season.
You have access to the local tennis courts, empty in November, rackets are provided.
The markets in Salobrena, La Herradura are both small but good. The fish at Almunecar market (and also at Al Campo supermarket in Motril) is fantastically fresh and varied and, compared to the UK, ludicrously cheap.
I recommend you watch the sunset over a glass of something at Buenos on the beach at La Herradura.
Frigilliana was well worth a visit, try lunch on the terrace at El Porton.
Granada is only about a hour away and needs two days if you have time. Booking a guided tour of the Alhambra in advance was well worth the money, we used www.MiReservaOnLine.es . Try to find time to walk round the Albaicin and up to the Mirador de St Nicholas. Also try La Oliva in Calle Rosario. We stayed at the Parador but would probably try the Hotel America next time.
The neolithic site at Los Millares north on Almeria is fascinating.
All in all an excellent trip, great value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending Cumbre Villas in general and Villa Castillo Del Mar in particular.

Marie,
May I take this opportunity to thank you and your colleagues for all of your help and assistance in arranging our stay at Castillo Del Mar, in Salobrena – we had a superb holiday and hope to be back in the future.
Best regards

Two weeks of pure bliss! Lovely villa and we all had a fantastic time splashing about in the pool. Really well kitted out house - you have thought of everything. Day out to the caves of Nerja really worthwhile - Nerja: great atmosphere. Chinese (The Golden Sun) in La Herradura "yummy". Alhambra Palace "fab". La Herradura beach stony but nice. La Bahia in Salobrena "tasty meal".

The villa was as described. Very well equipped! We were a family of four + two others and we never felt "squezzed". Plenty of room. Loved the view, the pool, the jacuzzi, well everything was just perfect. An unforgetable vacation. We will be back. Thanks!
