Exceeded our expectations!
Review Submitted: September 5, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
We've never had a villa holiday before: we love moving about and seeing the local area too much to worry much about where we stay. But we loved the pictures on this site and thought 'why not give it a try?'
Within an hour of arriving we'd fallen under Villa Regann's spell and for the next week had to prise ourselves away from the views and the facilities and the comforts, if only to buy fresh milk and bread. Otherwise, most of our waking hours, and long into the night, were spent sitting on the terrace, watching the changing light alter the views of the mountains and surrounding countryside, splashing about in the pool, lazing on loungers catching up on our reading. And later on, lying on our backs on the sunbeds watching the vast black sky for falling stars.
With two teenagers still recovering from the stress of exams and results, the TV showing all their favourite programmes also went down well. They mostly chose to stay at the villa when we ventured out and it felt entirely safe leaving them there.
The villa is equipped better than any self catering facility we've been to, and there are so many thoughtful touches around the place it makes the holiday really easy. It was our 16 year old who commented that as we drove up to the villa he was preparing himself to be disappointed, knowing how photos can play tricks, but that as we were shown around he just became more and more incredulous: the first time, he said, that somewhere has far exceeded any expectations he had.
Now we've found it we're looking forward to going back at different times of year to do a bit more exploring of Andalucia...if we can tear ourselves away next time!

Owner's Response: Many thanks - it makes all our efforts worthwhile......and we also like to enjoy the fully equipped villa for our own benefit during our own holidays!!
