great family holiday
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at the casita for a week in July 2009. It was a lovely house, characterful, well equipped, and comfortable for a family of 4. Our 2 boys (ages 9 and 6) loved the pool, it was safely gated, and not too deep, a good size and perfect for pool volleyball. Pauline and her family were very welcoming, and on hand for information and help. We enjoyed eating al fresco on the patio, handily shaded by a thick grapevine. The pretty garden was a delightful spot for a cold beer for the grownups, and beetle hunting or mud pie making for the boys, the petanque court was a bonus. It's just a few minutes drive into the small town for restaurants and the main beach. We discovered several quieter and very lovely beaches a few minutes drive in either direction - we were almost the only people on the beach on one, to the left of town. Nearby towns of Aguilas and Garrucha are small seaside towns, both have mini fun fairs beside the beach and plenty of restaurants, we had fabulous seafood at Garrucha. Hill top village of Mojacar is well worth a visit with amazing views, and further afield the lovely port town of Cartagena has beautiful architecture and a roman ampitheatre. All in all, we had a great holiday, and would love to return.
