A beautiful villa and holiday!
By Lisa on 21-Jul-2025We had a great holiday in El Portil, especially as the villa was well equipped and had everything we needed. The garden and pool area are wonderful, and so this is where we spent most of our time, when not at El Portil's lovely beach or sampling one of the numerous restaurants within walking distance. We had great communication with Steve and Catherine throughout and following the booking process, which was much appreciated. It was good to know also that Emma was available as a contact locally should there have been any difficulty. We would very much like to return in future and, therefore, we highly recommend the villa and El Portil.
