Excellent location for a family holiday
On arrival we were met swiftly and the house shown to us even though it was later than planned due to a delayed flight. The house was an excellent size for 4 adults and 2 children. In the morning we explored the house further, the view from the roof terrace was excellent, and the pool fantastic for my two sons. The little touches that Paula arranged were an added bonus, lots of towels, toiletries and beach towels helped to keep packing to a minimum, she even arranged a welcome pack to get us started as we arrived so late.
The house is in a great location for both exploring the edge of Spain or going over to the local towns of Portugal. We only managed in our 2 weeks to explore Spain so will have to return to explore the Portugal side.
Ayamonte has a large number of restaurants to eat at, but dont expect the commercial English restaurants it is Spanish, just what we wanted. The town comes alive in the evenings and you could spend hours going from one tapas bar to another. We took the boat over to Portugal to explore Villa Real, a great trip and a lovely place to spend a few hours.
The beaches in the area do require a car to get to but they are worth it. They are stunning expanses of beach for miles and are brilliant for children to play in safely. Lots of beach bars dotted along which serve excellent tapas and drinks, needed in the hot sun.
The house had lots of amenities to use, the wifi was very fast and air conditioning needed in the evenings. We did find that when windy you didn't need it to keep cool.
Communication with Paula was excellent prior to our arrival and she answered my neurotic emails quickly and in lots of detail. She helped us to plan our trips out before arriving and gave us lots of advise about places to shop etc.
This is a little gem hidden in a good location away from any noise, the pool was never too busy even though it was high season and lots of the surrounding houses were occupied. This is a very family friendly place as the garden and pool area is very secure. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to our friends.
