Luxury villa by the sea. Just step out of the pool onto the beach.

Casa Lorca is a lovely villa right by the sea on the splendid Vera Playa beach. It overlooks the Mediterranean in a small, exclusive development whose large pool has direct private access onto the wide sandy beach which stretches away into the distance and is never crowded even in high season. Our marble-floored 'home from home' is air-conditioned and comfortable. The layout of the house suits small or large parties. The furnishings are a mix of new and antique plus it has CD and DVD players and satellite TV with multi-channel UK TV and radio. The kitchen is equipped with all you need to look after the family. There is a large barbecue outside. Dining is mainly on the terrace or in the flower-filled garden because the area is blessed with all-year-round sunshine. Casa Lorca is a great place for family holidays. Cots, buggies, hi-chairs etc are available. Perhaps our best recommendation is that Casa Lorca was fully booked from Easter until October in 2007.

Casa Lorca was made for relaxing family holidays. Vera Playa beach is the best in the area and the villa lies right on it. The beach stretches off into the distance and is up to 300 metres wide so it never gets crowded. Minutes away is the fishing village of Villaricos with two little harbours and just down the road is the small port of Garrucha and its many harbourside restaurants. Nearby is the family resort of Mojacar above which lies the ancient white hilltop town of Mojacar Pueblo which has stunning views for miles across the Mediterranean one way and valleys and hills the other. Beyond is the endless wilderness of the Cabo de Gata National Park whilst inland lie the Sierra Cabrera mountains. There are weekly markets in the surrounding villages and small towns and shops and supermarkets are nearby for your daily needs. A great choice of restaurants is available locally and there is tennis, riding, a water park and four excellent golf courses five to fifteen minutes away.

Local activities walking, golf, fishing, tennis, swimming, horse riding, diving

  • Three bathrooms with baths and showers and the fourth has a large powerful walk-in shower. Some general points to note which can go in here as well as anywhere. For ladies to remain beautifully groomed - take a hair-dryer as we don't supply these and make sure you take a plug adaptor for use in Spain. Clothing generally - very light indeed in summer, a pullover at most for the evenings in spring and autumn and not much more during the winter months when even then a t-shirt and shorts or equivalent is often enough during the day. Outdoor footwear - between June and September the ground outside and the sand on the beach will usually be too hot to walk on in bare feet. Take flip-flops or similar. Indoor Footwear - finally, for some reason which is beyond this writer's understanding, no matter how clean the marble and tile floors are, if you walk on them barefoot the soles of your feet will end up dirty. Slippers or flip-flops are therefore a good idea.

Notes:

Casa Lorca is laid out so as to accommodate large or small parties. The idea of it is that it can comfortably sleep up to ten but if you are only a couple it still feels cosy. The master bedroom with ensuite bathroom is upstairs with a large terrace looking out to sea. Next to it is a bedroom with two single beds and ensuite bathroom. On the ground floor is the kitchen, main living room with DVD player and satellite TV receiving UK TV and radio programmes and a bedroom with two single beds and adjoining bathroom. Downstairs on the lower ground floor are two large bedrooms with double beds and another adjoining bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The second living room is as big as the main living room and has a CD player and TV for DVDs. Therefore the lower ground floor feels self-contained so a small party does not need to use it whilst a larger party have space for privacy from one another if they wish it.

More about Casa Lorca

Casa Lorca is in a small gated development right on the beach and is one of the most exclusive in the area. If you have children we are not near a main road and the setting is ideal for families. The communal pool opens right onto the sandy beach. Vera Playa beach is the best in the area. It is very wide, several kilometres long and is never crowded. Minutes away are the fishing village of Villaricos, the little port of Garrucha and the resort of Mojacar with its ancient white hilltop town above. If you get fed up with barbecuing in our flower-filled garden then Antonio's friendly open-air beach bar/restaurant is just 200 metres along the sand. It does everything from ice creams and burgers for the kids to great paella and seafood and is open day and evenings all summer. It's so popular with the locals that you have to book for lunch at weekends. There are plenty of other good places to eat but we usually don't trouble to go further. Just relax. That's what we made Casa Lorca for....

The Costa de Almeria

The province of Almeria is part of the region of Andalusia in Southern Spain. It lies between but well away from the Costa Blanca to the north and the Costa del Sol to the south. It is almost entirely rural with no major cities or sprawling developments which have spoiled much of those Costas. In a way Almeria is like they were thirty years ago. Such development as there is has been strictly controlled as to quality and quantity. There are no high-rise hotels, package tours or lager-louts. That's probably why the Spanish come on holiday here themselves. That and the fact that the Costa de Almeria really does have more hours of sunshine and less rain than anywhere else in Spain. Oh, and the beaches aren't bad either. Come and enjoy it. But just don't tell too many people....

Around Casa Lorca

For children, if they tire of the pool, there is a discreetly sited waterpark and go-karting nearby. In the country is the Wild West Theme Park where Clint Eastwood's 'Spaghetti Westerns' were filmed (dads love it). There is good fishing off the beach. For youngsters there are bars and clubs in Mojacar. There is no 'yob' element'. Late taxis will get them home. Eating out ranges from the excellent fish restaurants around Garrucha harbour, lovely little places in the countryside and many choices in Mojacar. The standard is generally very good and the prices reasonable. There is the countryside and Cabo de Gata National Park to explore and colourful weekly markets in the local towns and villages. Plus golf, tennis, riding, diving etc. There are lots of fiestas. Each place has its own. If you hear of one go to it. They literally go on til dawn and the whole village or town turns out. Local people here are very friendly. Whatever you like you can make what you want of a holiday here.

Golf Information:

Not everyone likes golf. This may come as something of a surprise to you but it happens to be true. Perhaps you should ask your better half. The great thing about Casa Lorca is that they can come with you and enjoy our lovely house, the pool & the beach while you are off playing with your balls. Then everyone is happy. Consider that before you book yourself & your beloved into a purpose built golf resort. Instead why not earn brownie points galore. Say you're taking them for a great beach holiday. You can always mention later that you have a vague idea that there may just be the odd course or two nearby. There are four excellent golf courses within five to fifteen minutes drive from Casa Lorca. They are Desert Springs, Val del Este, Marina Golf & Cortijo Grande. Desert Springs [18 hole par 72] [5 mins] is built to full USGA specifications and hosts top tournaments. The clubhouse is luxurious with a fine restaurant. Val del Este [18 hole par 71] [10 mins] lies up a little farm road which brings you to a splendid complex out in the country. Marina Golf [18 hole par 72] [10 mins] is in a spectacular position in the hills above Mojacar so that nine holes overlook the Mediterranean and nine look for miles across the countryside. Cortijo Grande [9 holes with plans to extend but, being Spain, goodness knows when] [15 mins] is in a beautiful setting among the orange groves in the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountains.
