My wife and I had a wonderful relaxing two week stay in Mandevilla. The villa was spacious, clean, well equipped and set in a large private garden ideal for families. The beautiful large pool provided both a source of exercise and welcome relief from the heat in the afternoon.

Both Andrew, the owner, and his agent Angie were extremely helpful and friendly. On asking where the nearest Internet cafe was to print of our return Ryanair boarding passes, Angie immediately offered to do it for us. They were duly delivered to us later that day.

The villa is located in a quiet residential area but is close to supermarkets and several nearby ventas which offer cheap but delicious food and drink. Barossa beach, which must be the best in Spain, is only 5 minutes away by car. Watching sunset sitting on the beautiful soft sand is absolute must. Happy memories!

A car is essential but this gives you freedom to visit so many interesting places nearby. The ancient cities of Cadiz, Jerez and Tarifa are all within easy reach, but don't miss out on trips to Medina Sidonia, Arcos, Conil and Vejer. You will not be disappointed!

We particularly enjoyed shopping at local fresh produce markets and returning home to dine alfreso. I doubt I have ever eaten so well such is the quality and variety on offer.

Being a keen amateur cyclist, I hired a quality road bike from one of several outlets in Novo Sancti Petri and greatly enjoyed using the safe bike lanes and quiet roads in the area.

I cannot recommend this property highly enough and we are currently planning a return trip next June.
