Holiday home with stunning views

We have just come back from a wonderful week of sunshine at Casa Pepe Rosa - we could not have asked for more from our holiday. The cottage was ideal for our needs, spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. We spent our days sitting reading by the pool in the beautiful garden and gazing at the stunning mountain scenery only working up the will to leave the cottage just 3 times in the whole time we were there. Jack and Sheila were fantastic hosts, very generous and great company. Our holiday was made complete by Missy, their new puppy who kept us endlessly entertained although at the expense of poor, beautiful Mimsy the cat who was often on the receiving end of Missy’s playful behaviour! We would recommend a holiday at Casa Pepe Rosa without hesitation and we cannot wait to go back.

You are always slightly nervous when arriving at accommodation abroad, booked via the internet on the basis of a few photographs and the reviews of people you don't know. We needn't have been anxious! Casa Pepe Rosa was exactly as described, set in beautiful grounds, full of fruit trees and vines which provided us with all the fruit and nuts we required during our week long stay. We usually spend our holidays driving around the country, religiously visiting the sights recommended by the 'Rough Guide', but this house with its own pool was so wonderful that we were reluctant to drag ourselves away from it. We did have a couple of trips to some local beaches which though pebbly, were long, deserted and very clean and a day in Granada, climbing the Sierra Nervada and doing the sights. For the most part however, we read our books by the pool, interrupted only by 'Missy', Jack and Sheila's lovely mad puppy, and roused ourselves only to go out to local eateries, many of which were in walking distance. Our favourite was a restaurant on the coast at Salobrena where we ate fresh sardines cooked on a boat in front of us while we drank Rioja!

Our hosts, Jack and Sheila couldn't have been more kind or generous. They had ensured that we had everything that we could possibly need, going as far as to fill the fridge with milk, beer and a bottle of wine which was very welcome as we arrived late at night. They were an excellent source of local knowledge and advice, and provided us with a Spanish dictionary, toilet paper and anything else that we happened to be short of at any time! They helped make the week a real holiday and we are already looking forward to a return visit.
