Comments from renters:
Just a short note to say thank you from all our family for the use of your beautiful home. It was so much more than we could ever have expected, and the pool was lovely, my grandchildren were never out of it and the weather just made it even better. Simon was very helpful and we will be recommending your home to everyone.
Thank you yet again for an WOW holiday.
yours David, Lesley, Andrew, Lisa, Robert, Hayley, Grace, Primrose and baby Freddie.
Testimonial
“We had a fantastic 2 weeks at Casa Stephania. The house was a real home from home – comfortable, spacious and very well equipped - the dishwasher and washing machine were a particular godsend for a party of 9! We particularly appreciated the books, games and Cd's which were available and made good use of them, as well as the satellite TV. Thank heavens for CBBC when the kids were shattered after a day at the beach or sightseeing. The coastal views form the terrace were stunning and a great place to sit.
Special Interest Holidays:
La Herradura and Nerja are famous for their underwater caves and this has led to many sub-aqua diving clubs operating in the Herradura and Marina del Este. The bay and surrounding area have been designated a marine reserve. Sailing boat hire and speed boat hire, both with and without crew are available from the marina. Para gliding is also available with companies offering training for beginners. In addition, a short drive takes you up into the mountains where there are numerous walks and traditional white villages to visit. Also during February and March, visiting the Alpujarras with the wonderful almond blossom is a sight to behold. Andalucia is a bird watchers dream, due to the wonderful variety of species, beautiful unspoilt countryside and the good climate, it is the perfect location for a bird watching holiday. Horseriding is also available, with stables 2 mins away.
