This place was heaven on earth/ it is even more beautiful than the pictures show. The owner and staff were as friendly and responsive as can be. We cannot wait to come back. The town is great too. There were plenty of restaurants on main drag and the surrounding areas were also gorgeous.

Fantastic holiday in Las Palomas!

Up in the hills with great views and yet just a 6 min dive to the beach. A beautiful modern property with rustic qualities, a fantastic pool and 3 lovely terraces to watch the sun go up or down! Would recommend highly to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the sun!

Wonderful house with a great view.

Perfect for us, two families with children age 3-6. The children loved the pool. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and in a quiet area. The only thing that was not excellent was the distance to the sea. (About 10-15 minutes drive.)

Wonderful house and fantastic stay

We stayed for a week in this house. Jean-Luc, the host, and Lee warmly welcomed us upon our arrival. Jean-Luc also kindly gave us some snacks and a variety of drinks as a welcome present. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you need (and you can imagine!). Condiments, spices, coffee, tea bags, and kitchen towels were also available in the kitchen. The house is stunning and even more beautiful than shown in the photos. The pool is heated, and that makes a big difference, making it super comfortable to swim even if the weather is not great. The view is breathtaking, and the area is tranquil. Various beaches and villages nearby can be reached by car in just a few minutes. We will return and recommend the house/host—thanks to Jean-Luc for this pleasant stay.

Wonderful stay / wonderful house

We had a stay of 7 days in this house. Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Mrs. Lee. Shortly afterwards, Mr NICAISE came in person and presented us with a welcome present. The house is perfectly equipped. All basic equipment (toilet paper, spices, garbage bags. . . ) were already in the house, so we could enjoy the arrival without direct shopping. The house is even nicer than shown on the photos. The view is breathtaking and the area is very quiet. It remains to be mentioned that the housekeeper asked for extra requests before our arrival, which she also complied with. We will definitely come back again and recommend the house / landlord. Many thanks to Mrs. Lee and Mr. NICAISE for this pleasant stay. Best regards, Corinne

Jean-Luc ist der perfekte Gastgeber, der einem bei Ankunft freundlich und ausführlich sein Haus erklärt. Die Lage am Hang ist perfekt mit weitem Blick auf die Bucht von La Herradura. Ausstattung des Hauses in allen Belangen sehr gut. Besonders gelungen die Aufteilung über zwei Etagen: Eingangsebene mit Wohnbereich und sehr gut ausgestatteter Küche. Dazu drei Terassen, zwei davon überdacht. Im unteren Bereich die drei Schlafräume und zwei Sanitärbereiche. Von allen Schlafzimmern direkter Zugang zum wundervollen und gepflegten Pool.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit. Jean-Luc (Besitzer) und Lee (Haushälterin) waren wunderbar.Vom Empfang bis zur Abreise hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Im Gegenteil, die Ausstattung des Hauses ist super und wir haben nicht vermisst und waren beeindruckt von der sehr guten Ausstattung. Speziell für Kinder war alles da, was man sich wünschen kann. Die Türen zum Pool können Kindersicher geöffnet werden. Ein Buggy stand zur Verfügung. Beide Treppen die zum Pool führen und ins Untergeschoss, konnten mit einem Riegel gesichert werden, damit kein Kind unbeaufsichtigt an den Pool gelangt. Kinderstühle, Kinderbesteck etc. und ein Kinderbett standen auch zur Verfügung. Der Pool und der Ausblick auf die Bucht sind das absolutes Highlight! Alles in allem hatten wir eine wunderbare Zeit und hätte es uns an etwas gefehlt, Jean-Luc und Lee hätten sich direkt darum gekümmert. Danke für die tolle Zeit und wir kommen gerne wieder, sollten wir wieder einmal an die Costa Tropical reisen. Viele Grüße

Semana maravillosa en Casa Paloma, la Herradura y alrededores

Casa Paloma es una maravilla!!!. El dueño de la casa es super amable, muy detallista, nos dejó a nuestra llegada unos snacks, cervezas, agua, entre otras cosas. Muy dispuesto a ayudar y resolver cualquier duda o pregunta que se tenga sobre la casa o la zona. La casa está super equipada, tiene todo lo que se necesita para pasar unas vacaciones en la playa: cocina completamente equipada con todos los artefactos eléctricos, varias neveras, vinera, tostadores, vitro, horno, licuadora, cristalería, cubertería, toallas, sábanas, entre otras cosas. Lavadora y secadora, aire acondicionado central en las dos plantas de la casa. Tiene televisión por cable con muchos canales. Tiene una barbacoa genial. Varias terrazas con mesas y sillas para comer, leer, sentarse y relajarse, porque todas tienen una increíble vista. La piscina es muy buena, la temperatura perfecta para bañarse y tiene una vista inmejorable a toda la playa de la Herradura. Las tres habitaciones están muy cómodas, dos de ellas con cama doble y en la tercera es genial porque tiene dos literas y una cama individual. Genial para 9 personas, que éramos justamente nosotros. Dos baños con ducha. Sin duda alguna ha sido un descubrimiento y un acierto, no solo por la casa sino por la zona, donde hay muchas playas y calas que son espectaculares. Farmacia, mercados, restaurantes cerca (en coche). Repetiremos sin dudas el año que viene. Muchas gracias al propietario por todas las atenciones durante nuestra estancia.

Magnifique séjour avec vue de la Méditerranée

La villa est impeccable et la vue incroyable et ce à plusieurs endroits sur la propriété. La cuisine est entièrement équipée comme j’ai rarement vu et j’ai loué plusieurs résidences de vacances. Il y a beaucoup de nourritures et de breuvages disponibles à l’arrivée ce qui est très apprécié. Pour les plus frileux, sachez que la piscine est chauffé avec une toile solaire ce qui amplement suffisant. Bien entendue, il faut une voiture pour visiter la région (plages, villages, grotte et autres sont à environ 15 à 20 minutes). Mais ça ne paraît vraiment pas long compte tenu de la beauté du paysage. Jean-Luc est aussi sympathique et avenant. Les instructions sont aussi très claires et envoyées à l’avance et aussi disponible sur place. Finalement un séjour juste parfait!
