Impresionante Villa de 6 Dormitorios con Piscina, a Poca Distancia de la Playa. Licencia no. 11362 / AL

Lovely spacious villa with fab pool and facilities

Casa Betel is a fabulous villa with ideal accommodation for families - we were ten in all, ranging from age 5 to 72 years. The facilities are excellent; everyone enjoyed the pool table (especially after it had been re-covered and made level during our stay) and table tennis, with the swimming pool being the icing on the cake. The youngsters were in the pool as soon as we arrived and before 9 o'clock on the first morning of our holiday - and at least twice a day, even on days when we went out for most of the day. We hired two cars and one day the two 'oldies' drove to Blas Infante metro station on the outskirts of Seville. We spent a few hours exploring the old part of the city - very well worth a visit; we will consider going for a longer stay some time. That same day the young folks walked to the train station at Vila Nova de Cacela and caught a train to Vila Real de San Antonio (the last town in Portugal) and took the 10 minute ferry across the border River G to the first town in Spain, Ayamonte. We all visited Tavira - a lovely town situated on the River Gilao - explored the old area and went up to the castle and Camera Obscura. On another day we visited Cabanas de Tavira on the coast, where we strolled along the boardwalk to the fishermans' huts (cabanas and had a super lunch at 'Sabores'; we took the motor boat 'ferry' (2 minutes) across to Ihlas de Cabanas where there is a wonderful beach. On two occasions we went to Cacela Velha - to view the magnificent sunset and the fabulous views over the Formosa. We enjoyed the super beach at Manta Rota and ate out at local restaurants a few times. The restaurant at the beach was amazing for an evening meal. We did one main shop at the start of our stay in Continente at Tavira (good for Gluten Free) and the local supermarkets were great for the rest of the week. We were really pleased to meet delightful owners Andrew and Else. And we particularly thank them for their help when one of the cars had to go to a local garage; also for the stay in their wonderful house - a real home from home equipped with everything we needed for a superb holiday. We visited in October; most days were warm and sunny - although we had rain and wind on one afternoon, the children were back in the pool when the sun came out again. We made use of the BBQ and ate all meals we had at the house, outside, except for breakfasts. We really recommend Casa Betel and would definitely stay here on a future visit to the area.

Wir waren mit 6 bzw. 11 Personen für 9 Tage in diesem Haus. Die Aufteilung der Zimmer und Badezimmer sowie sonstiger Räumlichkeiten erwies sich für eine große Gruppe ideal. Allerdings herrscht im Haus ein muffiger Geruch vor, der besonders in den Schränken bemerkbar ist. Abends zieht ein penetranter Geruch in den Poolbereich, der vom umliegenden Hof kommt. Nachts konnte man trotz geschlossener Fenster wegen der schreienden Hähne und bellenden Hunde kaum schlafen. Das Kücheninventar war teilweise nicht sauber und musste nachgereinigt werden. Die Küchenmöbel sind klebrig. In der Küche konnten leider nur 8 Personen am Tisch sitzen und auch sehr beengt. Die Bezeichnung atemberaubende Schlafzimmer finden wir überzogen. Die Matratzen waren durchgelegen und die Zimmer wirkten unfreundlich. In einem Badezimmer war die Badewanne undicht und die WCspülung funktionierte nicht immer.
