Lovely stay in small seaside town
Well-equipped home with charming outdoor spaces- courtyard, back patio and rooftop deck. It’s outside the city but the bus is just a couple blocks away so that you can see the sights in Almería. Kitchen has everything you might need. Several cafes and restaurants are within walking distance.

The villas closeness to the beach
The villa was nice, has everything you need for self-catering, very close to a lovely beach which has a little bar where you can have a light lunch,coffee or a drink looking out to the ocean.The two restaurants which are in the area unfortunately not open during our stay which was in may,there is a well stocked shop 5 minutes away and there is a regular bus sevice into almeria which is only one euro ten cents each.If you are looking for a relaxing holiday this is one we would recommend staying at.

Ideal quiet beach location
This part of Spain has so much to offer yet isn’t overrun with tourists. Casa Jamila has all that’s needed for a comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge area, decent bedrooms (one en suite). Costacabana is quite densely built up but still quiet. A car is just about essential as there’s one local shop and not many eateries. We enjoyed eating at El Lagarto - so friendly. Casa Jamila is about 10 min drive from two good supermarkets. Although situated virtually adjacent to the airport it’s really not a problem as there are a limited number of flights. The local beaches are very good and drive east up the coast to many more unspoilt beaches.

Winter in Almeria
A wonderful time during Christmas time and New Year in Almeria. The climate is perfect for winter if you like golf, barbecue and visit the town for history and shopping. The house was perfect for us and very convenient for our purposes. Thanks to Martin and Rhona for the very familiar house. Bosse & Ann

Holiday in copacabana
Almeria is a pleasant , vibrant city , people are very friendly and approachable. The bus service in and out of Almeria is excellent, very cheap, drivers very helpful . The villa in copacabana is well situated from the airport, there are 3 bars / restaurants within walking distance , again all the staff very pleasant and helpful. Local shop well stocked for essentials . Pizza & Mexican restaurants worth a visit , our favourite has to be the cafe LA MAYOR , a walk along the front , tapas and beer excellent value , staff and locals great . Overall our stay was relaxing, and pleasant, recommend to the older generation.

Home from home
This splendid property is located in a peaceful area, close to the beach and a short drive, (or bus ride) into the wonderful city of Almeria. The property is very well equipped with good quality fixtures, fittings and everything one could need whilst on holiday. We especially liked the fact that the courtyard garden at the front was mostly in shade most of the day whilst the garden at the rear was similarly in full sunshine. Excellent communications with Martin ensured a trouble free booking process and stay. We have over the past 30 years rented properties all over the world and this is up there with the best. If we return to Almeria area this property is where we would stay.

not bad but ...
We did like the house but we did not like the heating with gas bottle. The airport is very near and sometimes they do test flights with boeings...lots of noice. The Mexican restaurant is not super. The tapas bar El Mayor is nice and Jimenez restaurant is not bad but crowdy on saturday and sunday (reservation needed). Nice to be near the supermarkets as Mercadonna, Aldi and Mr Cash. Cabo de Gata (nature parc} is top> The plastick sea is very ughly. Mariella is a treasor.

Spacious, well equipped and comfortable property
Casa Jamila is a lovely villa, ideal for a week’s or longer stay. All the rooms were well maintained, kitchen fully equipped and sufficient space for 6 adults (assuming 2 don’t mind being in a single/bunk bed). There is ample outside space, providing plenty of opportunity for being in the sunshine or the shade. Straightforward check in/check out process and easy communication with the owner. Having stayed in Costacabana before, we felt immediately at home. If you wish to explore further afield, a car is helpful otherwise regular buses into Almeria are available and the local shop is well stocked. Would happily return...

Great Winter break
The house had everything that we needed. Kitchen equipment, games and comfort. We were able to get our winter sun, but was also cosey in the house with a good efficienct heater in the evenings. We did not get a car, but coped with the cheap and regular bus service. The big supermarket is walkable at about a mile and a half away. The fish restaurant is fantastic, I highly recommend it at the end of the beach. Good service good food. And for us a daily walk to the coofee shop to sit to stare out at the sea and practise our poor Spanish became a nice routine. Thank you.

Great stay
Great comms from the Martin, the owner before we arrived and the local manager was lovely. The villa is only 4km from Almeria airport and so we didn't hire a car. We wondered if that was going to be a problem, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants in walking distance and a small shop that sells a bit of everything that is close by. You can also catch the bus into the city from a bus stop that is only 5mins walk from the villa. The villa is only 2mins walk to the beach, which is quiet and great for a quick dip to cool down. The villa was ideal for us, with an internal courtyard that provides shade in the day and a sunny garden which is relatively private too with some beautiful planting , plus a roof terrace if you prefer. The living area is well equipped, with doors and windows that provide air flow, a good kitchen, comfortable sofas, TV and hifi with Bluetooth and USB inputs. The villa would work well for families or couples, as a base for exploring the area, or, as a fly and flop break in the sun. Costacabana feels like 'authentic Spain' and you will not find bars and restaurants that are catering exclusively for travellers, which suited us. We had the chance to experience living as locals, walking up and down the promenade in the evenings and enjoying Spanish coffees in beachfront bars in the mornings. We would definitely return to Costacabana and hopefully to Villa Jamila.

Enjoyable Stay
Your house is just as described in the VRBO text. However, I did not realize that it was that close to the airport. Since we both like to watch airplanes and since there are only a few flights daily and since we were out and about by Cabo de Gata a lot, it was very nice anyways, and very practical. For the beach, it's perfect. I think a car is a good asset here to be able to visit all the incredible parks and the other beaches and villages around. Maybe it is because we arrived at 6:30 in the evening that the property manager was in such a hurry. She gave us our keys, told us where to put them when we leave and she was gone: no hello, no explanations. Not the most welcoming experience. The key situation was a bit disturbing at first: every room has a key and what possibly was a color coding no longer was. We kind of figured it out. The wifi is a bit weak-but it does work with patience. The air-conditioning and fans in the bedrooms great plus. However, the fan in the first bedroom--the on suite bathroom one, makes a disturbing clicking sound--should be looked after. Ants are abounding and need to be taken care of, and the many little dogs around the neighborhood barking a lot....but such is life and it did not impact our stay when looking at the whole picture. Thanks Martin and Rhona. We would definitely like to come back to Casa Jamila and explore more of the region.

Gezellig huis met mooie tuin
Is een ruim huis met alles erop en eraan. Meer dan voldoende keukenspullen, handdoeken ook voor op het strand. We hebben genoten van de leuke tuin, altijd Wel een schaduwplek tevinden. 1 minuut lopen naar een aangenaam strand, heerlijk. We hebben een hele leuke vakantie gehad. Costa cabana is rustig , nietzoveel horeca, maar Ji menez en de mexicaan zij goeie plekken. Almeria een leuke stad met groot aanbod van horeca. In de omgeving prachtige stranden en leuke plaatsjes, zoals dan jose, nijar en fort bravo Wel een schaduwplekjetewel eenschad

About the host

Hosted by Martin & Rhona

Host profile image
Ours is a family owned villa, head of which is Maggie who has been coming to 'Casa Jamila' for many many years. Now the villa is being looked after by her younger family members who have in recent years fully refurbished and modernized it.

Why they chose this property

Perfect location for people looking for a quite retreat right by your own beach.
5 mins from Almeria airport with flights to Gatwick 2 hours away. The airport only have on average 10 flights a day so is hardly noticed. 10 mins from the historic provincial capital Almeria town. 25 mins from Cabo de Gata Natural Park peninsular.
