About this villa rental
If you are looking for a bit of design, space, and plenty of light, and you also want to be close to the beach, then this is probably the house for you. From Villa Africa, it is less than a 400m walk to the beach in Roche, 100m to the local shop and bar, and a few more meters to the tennis courts and other sports facilities. The location is ideal for both families and couples, as is the house: a little bit of luxury by the sea!
Clean lines, large windows, and a small internal garden, make this quite an unusual beach house for this area, and certainly set it apart from the more traditional properties we have in our collection. There is loads of light, yet the clever design keeps the direct sun away and also any unwelcome “levante” wind. It is a low-maintenance house, and it also has most of the creature comforts and technology that you would want in your own home. This is beachcombing in comfort!
The accommodation is all on one floor, with the front door opening onto a large open living space and the covered terrace and pool beyond. Marble floors, a large white leather sofa, and an old wooden table provide a combination of textures that are cool in the summer yet surprisingly cozy during the colder months. The main sitting area has glass down both sides: on one, the little internal palm garden; and on the other, the terrace and pool. Like the house itself, the terrace is simple yet comfortable and oozing with style: a giant wicker sofa with soft creamy cushions combines with large Moroccan puffs and a modern low table. It makes for a wonderfully relaxing corner, which becomes even more magical at night when the giant white pots and the far side of the pool illuminate!
The kitchen is state-of-the-art, and has everything you will need. The main bedroom wing contains three of the bedrooms, and the fourth (along with the bathroom 3) is on the other side of the entrance hall. The main suite has a large double bed, and a luxurious walk-in shower. And, again, there is an interesting combination of textures, with imitation skins on the floor, a large cork-framed mirror, and an unusual bathroom wall. It makes for a very special suite; you won’t want to get up too early! The two twin bedrooms are separated by the second bathroom (also with walk-in shower), which is accessed independently from each. And the fourth bedroom has a single bed, with an optional extra.
The small garden is extremely well kept, and there is some good lawn space for running around. Outside the kitchen and utility room, there is a back terrace, complete with an outside shower for sandy feet!
A walk of about 100m will take us to the local shop, pharmacy, a couple of bars and restaurants, and childrens’ playground. Roche also has its own tennis and padel courts and five-a-side football pitches. In the summer months, there are several beach bars/restaurants to choose from within walking distance, some of which are now staying open all year. A 5-minute drive will then provide you with a far larger selection of both bars and restaurants. The area offers an endless list of activities and if you book with us, we provide you with detailed information on all our recommendations, details on local amenities, and our up-to-date guide to the best of everything! You could spend a wonderful holiday here without a car, and just hire bikes; but, assuming you will have a car, it’s 15 minutes to Conil, 20 minutes to the hill-top village of Vejer-de-la-Frontera, 30 minutes to Cadiz, 40 minutes to Tarifa and Jerez, and 90 minutes to Seville, all of which are well worth visiting.

Gorgeous villa!
We had such a lovely time at the villa, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Its decorated to a high standard and just felt luxurious!
Roche itself is very quiet, there are only a few restaurants nearby and they are not open every night. However the villa is only 10 mins away from Conil de la Frontera which has a ton of restaurants and bars on lovely cobbled streets or there is also Chiclana to the other side if Roche which is more 'holiday resort' feeling. Most restaurants dont speak great english...which was ok for us as we tried to use our bad Spanish as much as we could or used google to translate the rest. The only thing is, if you are vegetarian like me, then you are very, very limited for food.
Another great feature of the villa is being a short drive to Cadiz, Seville, Gibraltar for some days out. And Tarifa, where you must go on the boat ride to see the whales and dolphins.
So overall the villa is gorgeous, in a small residential estate with not much around but if you hire a car then you can take in soo much of what Spain has to offer.

Traumhaft
Wir haben jeden Tag in diesem schönen Haus genossen. Die Nähe zum Meer war für einen Abendspaziergang bei herrlichem Wetter an der Küste ideal. Auch für Ausflüge nach Cadiz, Jerez oder Sevilla ist das Haus ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hervorragend, sowohl die Küche als auch die einzelnen Zimmer! Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war unkompliziert und hat sehr gut geklappt!
Danke Andrew und Maria , wir haben uns wirklich erholt!

Luxury villa just like the photos!
We were a family of 4 staying here in early September and the villa matched up to the photos and descriptions. Hosts were very attentive and would use the same people again without hesitation. If you can tear yourself away from the pool, the nearest beach is about a 10 minute wal. We would hugely recommend it for the wide expanse of clean sand and gorgeous sunsets, while the beach cafe bar serves up cheap and cheerful tapas.
Cadiz is well worth a day trip, car parks are reasonable prices but busy, and be warned, spaces are very narrow!
Our only (small) disappointment was the lack of any welcome pack and while I appreciate we were self catering, a few tea bags/coffee capsules on arrival would have been the icing on the cake.

Pierde mucho en la realidad
Estancia un poco decepcionante. La casa es poco acogedora y no está mantenida cómo debería. Faltaban gresites de la piscina, baldosas que se movían del perímetro de la piscina, después de seis días y sin usar mucho la piscina el agua estaba turbia, jardín siempre encharcado, etc... Además sufrimos durante todo un día la presencia de unos técnicos del aire acondicionado en la casa, sólo dejaron un rollo de papel en cada baño, no había ni un sólo producto de limpieza, salvo un lavavajillas, tampoco viene a limpiar nadie durante la semana de la estancia.
No está justificado el precio con la casa y el servicio que dan. Cuando dos partes llegan a un cuerdo ambas partes deben cumplir con su parte. No todo vale.

Ein tolles Haus in super Lage
Wir haben zu siebt neun Nächte im Herbst in der Villa Africa verbracht. Die Kommunikation mit Andrew und Maria lief sehr gut, auf unsere Anfragen bekamen wir sehr schnell eine Rückmeldung.
Beide waren sehr hilfsbereit.
Die Villa ist sehr hell, die Küche hat alles, was man sich wünscht und das Wohnzimmer war an den Abenden, wo man nicht auf der schönen Terrasse draußen sitzen konnte, auch ein gemütlicher Rückzugsort.
Die Lage ist toll, in 1 Minute ist man zu Fuß an einem kleinen Supermarkt wo man morgens Brötchen kaufen kann, einen großen erreicht man mit dem Auto in 10 Minuten. Zu Fuß zum Strand braucht man nicht länger als 5 Minuten. Man kann von dort lange Strandspaziergänge machen oder auch in kurzer Zeit kleinere, wunderschöne Buchten erreichen.
Tarifa, Cadiz, Jerez und auch Sevilla lassen sich gut von Villa Africa aus mit dem Auto erreichen, nach Conil kann man wandern.
Alles war prima, wir würden wiederkommen.

Ein sehr schönes Feriendomizil
Villa Africa ist ein modernes, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, in dem man seine Ferien zu 100 Prozent genießen kann. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend, die Räume sind sehr hell und sehr sauber. Sowohl im Haus als auch auf dem Außengelände fühlt man sich rundherum wohl.
Der Kontakt mit dem Hausverwalter war sehr nett und extrem unkompliziert.
Alles in allem - ein Haus, das man weiterempfehlen kann.

Ein wirklich tolles Haus mit allem was man zum Wohlfühlen braucht!!! Jederzeit gerne wieder.
Die Villa Africa hat alles, was man sich für einen entspannten Urlaub mit der Familie wünscht. Das Haus liegt in einer tollen und sehr gepflegten Wohngegend. Es ist sauber und sehr modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Zum Strand sind es nur wenige hundert Meter. Gleich um die Ecke ist ein Spielplatz, eine Apotheke und ein kleiner Supermarkt.
Die Abwicklung war unkompliziert und Andrew und Maria standen bei Bedarf jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Wir können die Villa Africa wärmstens empfehlen.

Fabulous family property
We spent 9 days in Villa Africa over Easter 2018. The villa fully lived up to our expectations - comfortably and attractively furnished and decorated, immaculately clean and tidy, and very well equipped.
Situated in a quiet residential area with communal facilities nearby, the villa is within easy walking distance of a long, sandy and beautiful beach.
The property is professionally managed by DosXtremos, who were extremely helpful and always very responsive to any queries or requests both before and during our stay.

Una estancia fantástica!!
Hemos pasado unas vaciones estupendas en familia con nuestros tres hijos pequeños. La casa es una maravilla, acogedora, cómoda y decorada con muy buen gusto, perfectamente adaptada para una familia como la nuestra. Hemos disfrutado mucho del porche, el jardín y la piscina. La casa además está muy bien ubicada, con un pequeño supermercado a 1 minuto a pie, un parque para los más pequeños, y un par de restaurantes. También está muy cerca de la maravillosas playas de Roche, se puede ir andando perfectamente (unos 5 - 8 min. máximo).
Además el equipo de DosXtremos funciona realmente bien, muy atentos desde el primer momento y dispuestos a hacernos sentir cómodos.
En definitiva, totalmente recomendable!! Esperamos repetir el próximo año, nos hemos sentido muy agusto.

Schönes Haus, tolle Lage!
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen! Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht um sich richtig wohl zu fühlen. Das einzige was wir vermisst haben war ein Sonnenschirm im Garten - wiederum findet sich aber immer irgendwo ein Schattenplätzchen. Die Strandnähe ist optimal und auch für verschiedene Ausflüge ist die Lage perfekt! Wir wurden von Andrew und Maria super betreut. Auf alle Fragen bekamen wir schnell eine Antwort und auch gute Tipps für Ausflüge! Thanx! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Mejor imposible

Una estancia increíble y esperamos repetir el próximo año.
