Situated in Los Alcázares, this attractive villa for $129 per night is a great choice for your next break. Villa Nerea is a small and beautiful property set in a quiet neighbourhood of Los Narejos just a flat 12-minutes walk to the bars and restaurants of the 525 Plaza in Los Alcazares, or a flat 15 minute walk to the beaches of the Mar Menor. Completely renovated to a very high standard, the property has its own large swimming pool, private rooftop solarium, and large shaded rear patio. For the 2024 season the pool has been completely refurbished after 5 years of enjoyment by our guests and is ready to be enjoyed all over again! There is a comfortable master bedroom with a kingsize bed and a smaller second bedroom with adult size bunk beds. The luxury bathroom has been upgraded for 2024 with a large walk-in shower by Grohe. The kitchen is very well equipped with oven, hob, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The lounge area has a wall mounted flat screen TV with satellite channels with comfortable seating. The pool is 8m x 3.5m and has steps and seating. The deepest point is 1.6m and the shallow area is 1.2m, so this definitely isn't a plunge pool!! Around it is room to relax on sun loungers and there is a wall mounted shower to cool off if you don't fancy a dip! Villa Nerea unquestionably is an all year round, relaxing, holiday home. The solarium is extremely large and is accessed from the rear patio of the property. We have loungers on the solarium and new seating for 2024. The rear patio has seating for 4 and you can be protected from the sun by using the large extending awning. There's also enough room for a couple of sun loungers too. This is a great place to be in the evenings - barbecue on the rear patio followed by a wander up to the solarium for drinks and watch the sunset over Los Alcazares. Simply wonderful. We provide free wi-fi for you all to stay connected, and we have aircon in both the bedrooms and in the lounge. Los Alcazares is a little gem. Its beaches are awarded the EU blue flag, and you can walk for around 7km from one end to the other along the shoreline promenade. There are bars and cafes dotted all along the route so you'll never get thirsty or hungry!! In the evenings, there are dozens of great restaurants and bars both in and around the 525 Plaza and in the old town. Hop on the little road train, El Habanero Tren Turistico, in the summer months (May to September) and you can ride from the 525 Plaza right up to the old town and back again for a few Euros. For those who want an extended night out you can find several nightclubs and bars that open late all around Los Alcazares, but they don't spoil it for those that want an early night, so LA caters for everyone. Los Alcazares is an all year round place to visit. There are a number of Festivals you can come to - Three Kings in January, Easter, Semana Internacional de la Huerta y el Mar - the festival of the orchards and the sea in August, and a large festival held in late October - El Caldero. These are really Spanish and well worth visiting. Cartagena holds an annual Jazz festival in November and has been doing so for more than 35 years. Los Alcazares holds markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays and you should visit whilst you are here. Outdoor activities are plentiful - tennis, paddle tennis, windsurfing, kite surfing, paddle boarding, cycling (bike hire available in the town), walking, you can do all of these things here in Los Alcazares. We mustn't forget the golf - there are some world famous and spectacular courses very close to Los Alcazares. Las Colinas has just been voted Spains best Golf and Country Club, and all the golfers will recognise the name of La Manga, which is 20 minutes drive away. Closer courses can be found at Roda and Serena within the surrounding countryside of Los Alcazares. Within 3 hours you can be in the mountains skiing. If shopping is your thing, La Zenia Boulevard is just a 15-minute drive back towards Alicante, which is Europes largest outdoor shopping mall. South for a 15 minutes drive is Cartagena. A Roman city full of culture and sophistication - visit the amphitheatre and the many beautiful streets!! If you fancy a bath for the complexion, the northern part of the Mar Menor (Lo Pagan) is world famous for its high nutrient content mud - lots of people visit and it's an hilarious day out - and only 10 minutes up the coast from Los Alcazares! So do I need a car? Absolutely not, there is plenty you can do without one. However, if you do hire one from the airports of Alicante or Murcia, it will extend your range to the countryside or coastline further afield, but not essential. Los Alcazares ( and the house) is just 20 minutes by taxi from Murcia International (Corvera) airport where Jet 2, Easy Jet and Ryanair all fly into from many UK International and Regional airports. Alicante airport is an easy 50-minute drive on the AP7 where all the above airlines fly into, plus many more from other European countries such as Holland, Belgium, Denmark, and Scandinavia. This is a really cosmopolitan area, and it's a place everyone enjoys and returns to year after year. We can arrange airport transfers and collections from Alicante and Murcia International (Corvera), so when enquiring please ask for more details.
