Facilities:
There is a local manager who will welcome you to the villa and provide any information required. The pool and garden will be maintained once a week. We have a car to rent, an Opel Zafira 5-7 seater automatic, at very good rates. In the main area of the patio garden is a large 10x6m swimming pool with Roman style steps, depth approx. 1m descending to 2.3m which is ideal for family swimming. There is also a bathing shower area also ornately tiled with a scene of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and a large sunshade umbrella. When you leave the pool area, you can climb three steps to another patio area which contains a large wooden family table ideal for the family barbeque. The garden furniture includes a selection of deck chairs, sunloungers and small plastic tables. There is also a gas barbeque. Two iron gates can keep small children away from the pool area which can be tied or padlocked. The sea views are very good and on most days Gibraltar is very clearly seen.
