The property was everything we had hoped. A perfect size for a family of four. And only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Also Zahara is a great little town with a relaxed atmosphere and some great restaurants.

A comfortable, well equipped and clean apartment with large sunny balcony and no noise from neighbouring apartments. Easy walking distance to beach and town centre with its good selection of restaurants and bars. Predominantly Spanish visitors to Zahara so good food (tapas) and wine at reasonable prices. Enjoyable coastal walks through parks to east and west (towards Cape Trafalgar) and attractive inland towns and hill villages to explore.

We were recommended to book this apartment by friends who have stayed there twice over the last 2 years - and we are so pleased we did. The apartment is spacious,comfortable, bright, airy and very clean and so convenient to both the beach ( literally just across the road) and the village with its tapas bars, restaurants and shops. It is a good base if you want to drive around and see the area which is quite wonderful, very varied and extremely interesting. We had a most comfortable and relaxing 2 weeks staying at Arethusa Luz and we have every intention to return very soon. Many thanks Kind regards Betty

Somos una pareja con dos hijas pequeñas que pasamos una semana maravillosa en Zahara en julio de 2012. Si no conocéis Zahara encontraréis una playa largísima (15 km) de arena fina que se ha librado de la burbuja inmobiliaria española ya que está en su mayor parte sin edificar. El pueblo no es que sea una preciosidad pero hay un montón de sitios donde se come de maravilla. El piso está muy bien y es tal como se describe en el anuncio: dos habitaciones grandes con un baño y un aseo, la cocina totalmente equipada, un salón/comedor grande y una terraza espectacular para tomar el sol y cenar. Nos lo encontramos muy limpio a nuestra llegada y, aunque no tiene piscina, no se echa en falta pues basta cruzar la calle para llegar a la playa. El piso está en una calle peatonal con lo que es tranquilo, se duerme muy bien y está muy cerca del Dia y del mercado de Zahara.

We have just returned from having 10 days of wonderful weather in Zahara. We had wall to wall sunshine and had not anticipated being able to sunbathe regularly (beach chairs much appreciated) on the unspoilt beach which we had the pleasure of having completely to ourselves. The apartment is very well equipped throughout with a good selection of music, DVD's plus comprehensive kitchen equipment. Everything was spotless and we were met by Isa who is a delight. Shopping, eating out and the beach are all on the doorstep which makes the apartment an easy comfortable place to be. We flew into Malaga because we have relatives in the area and we flew back from Gibraltar both were easyjet flights. The journey from Malaga took us under one and a half hours and the trip back from Gibraltar was an easy 45 minute drive. We spent most of our time in Zahara because we had such good weather, however Zahara is a good base to explore further a field to Vejer, Cadiz, Cordoba,Seville and even Portugal. We had a really nice stay - thank you Patricia for making things so easy for us. Susan and Ian

The apartment ticked all our boxes. We have known the village for 25 years or so and found the location terrific, in a quiet part of the village and in a pedestrianised street and very close to the beach. It was very well equipped for cooking and eating and with a comfortable bed and bed linen. It was spotlessly clean and we were met by Isa to get the keys and be introduced to the apartment. Great to have access to radio 4 through the satellite dish as well as uk television. The terrace is very spacious and we liked the access from bedrooms as well as the living room. We plan to go back next year. It was just us two, but with the spacious second bedroom and convenient extra toilet, we would happily bring friends or family. There is a very helpful file with all kinds of information which must be great for the first time visitor, and those who want to explore the area.

We spent a lovely week in Zahara and fell in love with this unspoilt place. The apartment was clean and comfortable and in a good spot for the beach, little town and market, where we shopped most days. It was well equipped and having beach chairs and umbrellas was so nice.All the instructions and directions given by the owners are very clear and easy to follow and Isa who met us and showed us round was charming. We shall certainly try and return. Caroline, Lucy and Sam

We wanted to explore this area of Spain which we have not visited before and decided to take advantage of the new Easyjet flights into Seville from Gatwick. The drive to Zahara from Seville took us about 90 minutes and the directions and maps sent to us by Patricia were excellent. We were met and escorted to the apartment which made arriving easy and stress free. The apartment was ideal for us, it is close to shops and a couple of minutes from the fabulous beach. Internally it is bright, airy and spacious, and in particular we valued and made good use of the well equipped and fit for purpose kitchen. We chose to base ourselves in Zahara as we felt we would have the best of both worlds – having the beach and village on our doorstep as well as lots of interesting places to visit – in reality we were spoilt for choice this way. This region offers so much more than the typical Spanish Costa holiday which we have experienced in the past. We have discovered that the Costa de la Luz is the coastline of choice for the Spanish, which means that everything feels and is authentic, we think this area has to be one of Spain's best kept secrets and now that we have found it, we hope it stays this way! We are looking forward to coming back as soon as we can.

We had a wonderful time in this nice apartment, located in the lovely village of Zahara. The apartment is spacious and very well furnished and equipped. The large terrace is perfect for sunbathing and also for breakfast or diner outside. You need just a couple of minutes to reach and enjoy the marvelous beach and ocean. The center of Zahara with great restaurants and bars are a few blocks away. We hope to return to this nice place as soon as possible and recommend the apartment to everybody who likes to spent a wonderful time in Andalucia.

We had a lovely time at the apartment. The only hitch was that the previous tennant had apparently left the heat on and one morning we woke up to a strangely hot wall (it took us a while to figure out that it was because of the thermostat), but it wasn't a problem so much as a mystery. Everything else was absolutely perfect and I've already recommended both the town and the apartment to several friends and colleagues. The apartment is very close to the ocean and a five minute walk from the historic town center, which has decent shopping and great restaurants. For those who enjoy cooking, it's very well equipped for a beach rental and just around the corner from several supermarkets and two gourmet stores, as well as just about 5 blocks away from the village market. We ate at least one meal at home every day just in order to enjoy the amazing fresh fish and produce that beckoned from the market. Patricia was sure to send us lots of great information about Zahara before we got there and there's also an extremely helpful binder in the apartment containing brochures, maps, advice, restaurant reviews, bird watching spots, etc... so you can really take advantage of your stay. We especially enjoyed the covered part of the terrace, which allowed us to eat lunch al fresco even with full sun! All in all we have absolutely no complaints and recommend this apartment to anyone looking to spend a relaxing week in Zahara.

We found the apartment to be peaceful and quiet and provided everything we expected and much more. It is well furnished and equipped, with good proportions throughout, including a completely self contained kitchen with all usual mod cons. As a family of 4, we really appreciated having an additional washroom with w.c. as well as a full bathroom. We particularly liked the aspect of having sliding patio doors in each of the bedrooms, and lounge dining area which all opened up onto the large, roomy terrace where we ate and enjoyed the sun. The satellite T.V. has British television and radio and there is a selection of D.V.D’s and C.D’s for both adults and children, also lots of books to read. Zahara’s white sandy beach is seemingly endless, absolutely wonderful, and literally just a couple of minutes walk from the apartment – the location could not be better we made good use of the beach chairs!! We ate out at some great restaurants right on the beach front, if you like fish this is the place for you! The village of Zahara is also on the doorstep with shops, an indoor market, etc also an ice cream shop with internet ! The whole booking process was easy and efficient as was arriving in Zahara and picking up the keys to the apartment. We would recommend this apartment to anyone who is in search of a relaxing holiday and easy place to be, in ' Real Spain'. We had a great time and hope to return soon.

Das Appartment ist gut eingerichtet, nicht luxuriös. Allerdings sind die Angaben im Wohnungsangebot nur teilweise richtig. Die Größenangaben sind falsch. Das Appartment hat ca. 60 m² Wohnfläche und ca. 30 m² Terrasse! Klimaanlage ist nur im Wohnzimmer vorhanden, ansonsten sind noch 2 Ventilatoren da. Das Appartment befindet sich in einem Haus mit 4 Eingängen u. ca. 60 Wohnungen in 2 Stockwerken. Die Wohnung ist freundlich und ruhig, sofern die anderen Apartments nicht belegt sind. Der Neubau ist ziemlich hellhörig.

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Sahara, das Apartment ist sauber und gut ausgestattet. Ein Vorortservice rund um das Apartment ist vorhanden. Sahara liegt zentral und eignet sich für jede Menge Ausflüge. The apartment is really good furnished and equipped. We got what we expected.Sahara is central positioned to make a lot of trips around. Thank a lot for the good stay.

We cannot praise the apartment and the location enough. Having arrived after only an hours drive from Gibralter, via Easy Jet, we found the apartment easily. It was clean, spacious, and very well furnished and equipped. Being away from noisy traffic made sunbathing on the large south west facing terrace, (on luxurious sunbeds) a lovely peaceful experience. We were also able to eat out on the terrace in either sun or shade. The superb white sand beach is a few minutes walk away (beach chairs provided) also the apartment is situated in the village of Zahara itself. The latter offers shops, a lovely local market, selling fresh fish and a number of very good restaurants ,a couple of which overlook the Atlantic ocean. Several times we went out for breakfast, and a lingering memory is the wonderful bread, served with equally good coffee! We explored the hinterland and discovered amongst others, Seville and Cadiz. Both steeped in history and stunningly beautiful. Next time we visit, we plan to go across to North Africa from Tarifa which is a short drive from Zahara. We definitely intend to return to this part of Spain, which is so beautiful and interesting ˆ and specifically to this lovely apartment which we feel offers very good value for money.
