Great

An excellent villa in a very desirable location. The accommodation is more spacious than one imagines from the photographs and enabled our two families to share the villa whilst having great privacy. The pool is a good size with plenty of toys available to use. General maintenance of the property is of a high standard. The immediate location is nice and quiet, with the beautiful beach a short walk away. The region appears unspoilt by foreign tourism and there are plenty of excellent restaurants in the vicinity. We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday - highly recommended!

Really nice, well-equipped villa in Roche with friendly, helpful managers. The photos do not do the property justice. As a wheelchair user I was getting very stressed making enquiries about places that claimed to be accessible only to find that the doorways were too narrow for me to get through. Michele's property is not designed for wheelchair access but it worked well for me. It's completely on one level, one tiny step about 1inch at the front and a threshold at the back. The property manager took one of the ensuite bathroom doors off the hinges to make it easier for me to get in. and the wash basin had space to get my knees under. Two little steps to get to the swimming pool, but at the end of December we weren't using the pool anyway. The house is huge, with two lounge areas as well as an enormous dining table, and another hallway room where the kids could play. On top of that there is a terrace area with two tables (one large, one medium) outside. As well as the five bedrooms there are several sofa beds so can fit far more people in than we were. We were lucky with beautiful weather and it was warm enough for late breakfast and lunch outside. A bit chilly to use the barbecue but we managed anyway. Roche is a very quiet residential area - possibly a bit too quiet in December, but the lack of cars made wandering around and the 5 minute walk to the beach a pleasure. There are several stepped pathways down to the beach, some with (slightly steep) ramps. I found a rough pathway that I could take my off-road wheelchair down and was able to sit and watch the sea. A very good place for a big family holiday and I would go again. Would definitely recommend, particularly if more interested in the beach, bike rides through the woods and to the cliffs, enjoying the pool and the villa, rather than town-life/ sight-seeing although all of that is only a short drive away.

Cool and comfortable house, huge pool, and beautiful beach within walking distance. The people in charge of the property are quick, kind and very efficient. We had a wonderfull holiday in Roche, but not a five star one because we left on August 26th and we didn't get our deposit back from the owner until September 6th, after many excuses! Una casa estupenda, fresquita y cómoda en una zona tranquila. Se puede ir andando a las playas de Roche. Las personas encargadas de la vivienda son amables, fiables y eficientes, pero la dueña tardó 10 días en devolvernos la fianza!!

We've just returned from 2 weeks and had an excellent holiday. The villa is private, spacious and fully equipped yet retains a relaxed homely feel (the pictures really don't do the place justice). The pool is superb and various outside areas mean that either sun or shade is available all day - pool is in sunshine from early morning through to early evening. It was our first time away with our 9 month old daughter and found there to be plenty of space and facilities for her also. The villa was spotlessly clean on arrival and we took advantage of the cleaning service midway through our holiday at very reasonable rates. A small problem with the pool in our second week was efficiently and quickly remedied and the local representative of the owners appeared efficient although we didn't really have any issues with which to test her out! Roche is a quiet yet relaxing residential area with the location of the villa exactly as described. The beach is fantastic and easily accessible even with a pram. The beach restaurant is also excellent - our only tip would be to check about availability on a Friday evening or Saturday as the entire restaurant can be hired for private parties and weddings. It is worth noting though that Roche is a quiet place and there is no nightlife other than the beach restaurant (Conil is a drive away) - something to be considered for teenagers/young adults. The weather is also worth noting - for us it was perfect and Roche seemed to escape the searing heat that could be found even 10kms inland - apparently this is quite normal and most welcome. Conil de la Frontera is a charming town and only 10-15mins quiet drive from the villa (too far to walk for the evening) - it also has a fabulous beach and numerous choice of restaurants as well as a daily market for fresh fish, meat and vegetables. Cadiz is not far - 30mins drive and also worth a visit. We found the region to be popular with mainly Spanish tourists and hence is thankfully free from the overdevelopment that can blight some of the larger costa resorts in Spain - English is not widely spoken yet the people were extremely friendly and this only added to the charm of the holiday. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in a charming part of Southern Spain - and thoroughly recommended for a traditional beach holiday where nightlife isn't a priority. Would most definitely consider returning!
