Your Holiday Property
All descriptions of the properties are given in good faith, but these are of course, only our opinions. By giving us as much information as possible we will do our utmost to help you choose the right villa in the environment that you would prefer.
The majority of our properties are furnished & equipped to the owner's personal taste. Owners usually leave their personal belongings for guests to use but would expect clients to respect locked cupboards containing owner's private possessions.
Access to properties will vary enormously. Please ask us for advice regarding this matter when either hiring a car or if you are planning to use your own.
It cannot be guaranteed that all properties will have mobile phone reception. We can advise you of this on request.
Swimming pools are filled with fresh water & are unheated unless stated to the contrary in the property description.
The local wildlife is an essential ingredient of Spanish rural life, a cockerel crowing or the barking of dogs is not a complaint that locals will sympathise with! A house in the country will inevitably attract all forms of wildlife from insects to goats!

Christmas & New Year
Christmas & New year in a holiday location can be wonderful, often with blue skies & sunshine. Many of our properties have heating or log fires and within a couple of hours you can be enjoying the delights of a winter holiday.

Activities & Excursions
If requested we can ask the local managers to provide guests with  a number of local activities, ie water sports, sailing, horse riding, mountain biking & skiing. More information & costs can be provided on request.

Directions from Malaga Airport to Almuñecar. (Costa Tropical villas only) Directions from Almeria and Granada can also be provided upon request.

On leaving the car park, follow the signs for Malaga ( N340 ). You carry straight on at the roundabout, keeping in the left hand lane as you follow the road over the flyover. The road goes to the right as you join the motorway. On the motorway you must immediately move into the left hand lanes otherwise you will be drawn into the centre of Malaga. You will now see a large blue motorway sign saying Motril & Almeria. Do not get off here as the sign is misleading, and you will take the slip road into the city. Once you have passed the sign, move into the right hand lane & you will see a further blue motorway sign for Motril & Almeria. Take this slip road where you will now join the motorway A7 E15 going east to Motril / Almeria. You will stay on this road until you reach La Herradura. The motorway ends here. Take the slip road to the N 340. Keep on this scenic costal road ( N340 ), passing La Herradura & Marina del Este, through the tunnel, Punta Del A Mona & finally you will reach Almuñecar.
