Haus mit super Aussicht

Grosszügiges und schön ausgestattetes Haus über 3 Etagen. Der Blick von der Lounge auf der Terrasse über die Bucht von La Herradura ist atemberaubend. Der Wohnbereich ist gemütlich, was uns bei dem einen Regentag gedient hat. Man benötigt hier ein Auto, da die Anlage weit oben liegt. La Herradura selber ist bildschön und nicht so überlaufen. Tolle Bars und gute Restaurants.

Family friendly Villa

I spent a week with my wife and son on this excellent propriety, located in a secluded, very safe and quiet urbanization, with lovely and pacefull surroundings and dazzling views. The pool is quite nice, with the right size (not too big, not too small), especially for families with small children. The villa higher floor has direct view over the pool, which is a good extra when one's stays at home and others go to the pool. Being a 3 bedroom house, with 2 and a half bathrooms, it's quite big and can easely carry 2 couples and 2 children (6 pax). The long hours of sunlight exposure on the big balcony allow you to have delighting long lunches and dinning on open air, easely until 10 p.m. (only with natural light)! The villa's kitchen has lots of utenselies and crockery, and everthing you need to cook and to do a normal kitchen routine is there and in working order (although there's no coffee pot/machine). We only miss a microwave, which comes particulary in handy when you take breakfast at home (especially when having small children around). Colin it's very atencious, helpfull and fast in solving any problem and the Mrs. Lee Treasure, a real treasure and a true keeper! She helped us solve a soft bed problem and provide us with a much needed beach umbrella, amongst other kind gestures and realy helpfull advices. In short, British pontuality with a caring smile and top notch avalability. Between them two, you´ll be in very capable and reliable hands. Thanks for everthing!

Magique

Maison magnifique avec une vue à couper le souffle ! Propreté impeccable, les familles apprécient les 3 salles de bains! La baie de la Herradura est idyllique, Almuñécar a 5 minutes vaut le détour! Et un grand merci à Lee qui nous a reçu sympathiquement, et est de très bons conseils. À refaire sans hésiter !!

Highly recommended!

Big house with a fantastisc view over the bay. Well equipped, and a good layout for a big family like ours (5 people). Ensuite bathroom for the master bedrooom is a plus. The heat was not a problem in the bedrooms. Nice and wellkept poolarea within 100 m. Very hilly so walking to the beach is not an option. A small restaurant within walking distance with stunning view of the sunset but it is a steep trail leading there. Excellent communication with the owner and his agent. We found it a good place for excursions along the coast and a nice change for Nerja were we been many times before. Highly recommended.

Exellentes vacances

La résidence de Colin est somptueuse, le premier étage avec les trois chambres spacieuses et bien aménagées, le second avec une cuisine fonctionnelle, un immense salon et une superbe terrasse donnant sur la baie de La Herradura ne peuvent que combler les résidents les plus pointilleux. La piscine collective aux résidents de Los Altos est pratiquement privée le matin et en soirée, elle est entretenue tous les jours. Un seul petit regret concerne la literie avec des matelas trop mous. Accueil parfait de Rachel et de son mari. La propreté est ici une règle d'or. A consommer sans modération.

Large, well-kept house with beautiful views

The house is huge. Amazing views over the coast from the kitchen and the dining/ balcony area. Really well-kept - very clean - everything you need in the kitchen. Loads of games in the lounge, plus a big TV and lots of DVDs. And they gave us a welcome hamper which was a lovely touch. The villa is managed by property agents who have an office in La Herradura. That meant that when we found the kettle didn't work, they drove up to the house to deliver a new one within a day. I'd recommend that you ask the owners to provide fans for the two bedrooms (the master bedroom has its own in-built fan) because the rooms get really hot (we went in July). The downside to the property is that it's a long walk to La Herradura - and a really steep walk back again. I'm not convinced it's 25 minutes, as suggested in the blurb. So you really have to drive - and then parking in La Herradura isn't easy in high season. Also, the nearby shared pool is a great size and located in an absolutely beautiful setting (views of the mountains and coast), but we found it wasn't very clean. When we arrived there was food waste and wild animal droppings near the pool side. The pool got progressively more dirty as the week went by but it didn't get cleaned while we were staying there.

Absolutely lovely apartment and views

A lovely apartment, clean, and really beautiful views of the bay. A short drive down into the bay to enjoy the beach and shops. Easy to get to other resorts and to Granada. A wonderful pool again with stunning views. A friendly feel to the area and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away and relax.

What about that view!!

I am just back from a 2 week stay in Casa en la Colina and what can I say! The Apartment and the whole experience was fantastic! The apartment itself is homely, beautifully decorated and very clean. It has a terrace to die for, with stunning views across the horse shoe bay of la herradura. Long nights are easily spent sitting with a gin and tonic watching the stars shoot by. The facilities are great! A wonderful, secure communal pool area just minutes walk from the property makes sitting in the sun so easy. Excellent wifi and choice of dvd's too!! For something further afield, there was plenty of information and recommendations given by the home owners, which made it very convenient for our first few days. The welcome pack and hamper is a lovely touch and makes you feel right at home! To have essential food and drink in the house ready for you when you get in (especially as we arrived very late) was brilliant! A truly spectacular holiday so much so we have booked again already for next summer and are counting down the days! Until we meet again Casa en la Colina, muchos gracias!

Beautiful location and views.

We loved our stay in La Herradura, I've never been to Spain but after this trip I can't wait to return! The Townhouse is ideal for a relaxing break in the sun. Everything was there that we needed. Most days we cooked our meals and sat on the balcony over looking La Herradura bay. It felt like a home from home. theres also access to a great pool closeby (views from there are also good!) A car is a must in this area as there is so much to explore, Granada, Nerja and Almunecar are all close by. La Herradura is a relatively small local feeling town, about 20 minute walk down the hill. With plenty of shops and beachfront bars and restaurants, when we were there (June) it was quiet which we liked. There's plenty of surf or other water activities available.( If you walk down id advise a taxi back but that was less than £10. ) If you go up the hill (on a small track) you can watch the sunset which I highly advise. (Take a bottle of bubbly!!)There's a restaurant up there too but we didn't try it. Hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.

Great stay in a lovely house with fantastic facilities

Lovely house with great facilities - perfect for kids, especially the pool. We loved the terrace with amazing views and felt very much at home. The bedrooms are clean and spacious with plenty of storage. Kitchen well kitted out and opens out onto the terrace so ideal for al fresco meals. The view across the bay is stunning day and night: our kids loved seeing the lighthouse and the stars across the sea. The pool and tennis courts were also great - everything in good condition and well maintained and the pool is the right size for proper swimming as well as space for kids to play. It's easy to get to the town and there's plenty of places to shop and eat without breaking the bank. We also enjoyed exploring along the coast. We had an incredibly relaxing holiday and would definitely return,

About the host

Hosted by Colin McLauchlan

We currently live by the sea in the North East of England . We enjoy spending time between our two homes and are looking forward to one day spending more of our time in Spain. In the meantime we are happy that our family, friends and our guests get to enjoy our lovely home.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Andalucia for the past 20 years and when we came across La Herradura, we fell in love with this beautiful location. It has everything we dreamed of warm, friendly, very Spanish and an area of extreme natural beauty. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
