Andalucia Heaven - Beautiful house in Casares
Review Submitted: November 23, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed in 10 Calle Fuente, owned by Rona & Adrian, for three blissful weeks last August. What can I say? I would love to have lived there forever.
The house is comfortable, stylish and stunning - everything you need and a designer finish with every little detail taken care of. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfy, the neighbours delightful and enjoying a glass of wine on the roof, with all the village sounds around us was a perfect end to a great day.
We loved the village, the quirky little shops, the local restaurants, the lovely clean peaceful municipal pool (it felt like you were getting your daily exercise on the walk back up from that) and exploring the local area.
Don't forget to visit the lovely little beach down the road past Cortesin Golf resort - the water was warmer there than anywhere else we went, full of spanish and the little chiringuita restaurant was heaven on earth.
We also visited the Roman Spa (just south of Casares, on the road to Manilva) which was a bit of an adventure and very unspoilt. Puerto Banus was well worth the drive, with the beach providing some amazing waves and the chiringuitas and stylish on-beach cocktail bars great fun. Walking around the Port shops and looking at the yachts was very aspirational for the children, not least when they spotted a bright pink Hummer - could have been made for Katie Price.
Talking of the teens and pre-teens, they joined in enthusiastically with the town's nightlife, which centres around the pool in the day and the school playground at night. While we enjoyed a glass of rioja in the bar on the square, the kids ran around the town with the locals and had a great time. Casares feels so safe and they loved the freedom.
Driving was a bit daunting at first but we got a great hire recommendation by Rona & Adrian, got loads of use of them and we happily parked in the municipal car park in Casares and walked down the hill to the house each day.
It was a 10/10 experience all round and I'm looking forward to going back! Don't hesitate to book this house!
