Conveniently located in a new area of Ciudad Quesada. It is well planned with wide roads and pavements lined with trees. All local facilities are within walking distance.
ABOUT THE VILLA
The villa is detached and sits within a walled area with lockable gates. The accommodation consists of a dining area for up to six people, and a sitting area with two sofas and a television that receives the digital Freesat service which shows most UK channels. There is also a DVD player, we provide a number of DVDs for use by guests, and there is a range of family games and books.
There are three bedrooms; one double with an ensuite bathroom complete with shower, basin, w/c and bidet, and two twin bedrooms which share a shower room with basin, w/c and bidet.
Sliding doors lead from the dining area to the outside terrace. Here there is a table and chairs and a built-in BBQ. There are steps from here leading up to the solarium, and steps leading down to another terrace behind the pool. Here there is a table and chairs with a parasol. This is an ideal area for children to sit in the shade when they are in and out of the pool.
At the back of the house is a built in cupboard where the washing machine is located.
The sitting room is connected to a well-equipped kitchen (including oven and hob, fridge-freezer and microwave) with a small table and stools. Heading out of the kitchen through sliding doors there is a large covered terrace. The terrace overlooks the pool making it an ideal position to keep an eye on anyone in the pool. Here there is a large table and chairs, and a more relaxed seating area. Steps lead down to the pool with a large terraced area.
Included within this area is a patio with a pergola to provide some shade. The pool is 12m by 5m which is a great size either for swimming in or playing in. The shallow end is about 4-ft and the deep end is about 6-ft.
Although there is plenty of space on the road, if preferred it is possible to park a car on the property.
N.B. There are steps outside at the front and back of the house, which may make access difficult for children and less able adults.

BOOKING CONDITIONS
During July and August our changeover day is a Saturday, but in June and September we can be flexible. Arrival is after 3pm and departure by 10.30am. The maximum number of guests is six.
Payment terms are 20% deposit with the balance payable six weeks before arrival. As is normal we do take a refundable deposit in case of damage or breakage. This is £200 for a week and £300 for two weeks, payable at the same time as the balance.
Please note that our rental price includes the cost of cleaning on departure.
We are unable to take payment by credit card.
The rental includes the supply of bed linen and towels. Please bring your own beach towels, which also double up as pool towels.
The rental also includes the use of the air conditioning units in the three bedrooms overnight. However, should someone have the units on for more than that and so incur a much higher than normal usage of electricity, we may ask for a contribution, after discussion.
We will give a 100% refund if a cancellation is made more than sixty days before arrival.
N.B. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RENTAL PRICE IS REDUCED AS THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE SOME BUILDING NOISE.
A new house immediately behind ours was started in the Spring of 2021, but the work stopped until such time as a buyer was found. So far no buyer, so no building work. However, in the event that a buyer is found and building work is recommenced, there may be building noise. At present the structure of the house and pool is there, so there will be no heavy plant like diggers and cranes. There may also be distant building noise from other properties being built in the locality.
House Rules:
We respectfully request that the inside of the house be treated as a non-smoking area, and that no parties or events are held there.
