We really loved our stay at Casa Mara. Ian and Wendy were excellent at keeping in touch and throughout the whole process and answering any questions we had prior to our arrival and have also requested feedback directly so they can ensure consistency in the experiences of their guests - which we really value. The villa managers were also lovely and welcoming and escorted us personally to the villa to ensure everything was in place when we arrived.The villa itself was well equipped, the pool is an excellent size and depth and we spent most of our time there. The villa has stunning views of the surrounding villages/countryside, of sunrises and sunsets and lots of star gazing on clear nights! We would advise though, that the drive up is a little on the adventurous side, so would recommend an automatic car, a confident driver and a side order of the Spanish attitude of ‘tranquilo’!The villa is separate to the main areas used by the owners (who are not in residence when the villa is rented out) so there are steps to access the villa. To access the pool area from the lounge, there were steps – but there is a gate which can be closed if you have toddlers. We didn’t find this an issue at all, but someone with restricted mobility may want to consider this as a factor.The villa also has visiting cats so for any cat lovers (myself!) make sure you grab some dried cat food and you can enjoy feeding them and watching them sunbathe
