An extremely peaceful location for a get-away-from-everyone holiday

The major plus point for us was the extreme peace and quiet we enjoyed and the chance to wake up undisturbed by anyone or anything. Silence is so rare in our lives and the chance to experience it for two weeks was magical. All you can see are the mountains, sky and surrounding fields full of almond trees. All you can hear is birdsong and bees humming. The villa is well equipped and I felt comfortable doing more cooking there than I normally would on holiday. Small touches such as an international adaptor, hairdryers and shopping bags were very useful, as was lots of English DVDs and Xbox games. There was a lot of international television but sadly nothing in English, however Netflix came to the rescue and worked well considering the remote location. As we went in mid-October we didn't use the pool room facilities, the plancha or the pool. The pool was delightful to look at but far too cold in October - we're not that hardy! so we'll have to go back to try it out. Although there is sleeping space for 8, I would say there is only room for 4 adults comfortably in the villa, unless you spend all your time outdoors. Again, not a problem in summer. It is worth emphasising the remoteness of the villa because with the beauty of the peace and silence comes a 25 minute drive before you reach civilisation. We loved being remote, but the practicalities of being so far away from everyone meant that we spent a lot more time driving than we wanted to (and we love exploring by car so that is saying something). The twisty mountain roads were also the cause of several bouts of travel sickness amongst us adults, particularly in the dark, so consider if this would cause you a problem. Be prepared for the last 200m to the villa which is an extremely steep, uneven track of stones so when hiring a car, make it something a bit more robust. However this is a jewel of an area with plenty to do and places to explore, including Grenada and Murcia. We would definitely return. Thanks particularly to the owners for their prompt contact, extremely helpful and friendly approach and fast return of our deposit.

A fabulous villa and pool!

The villa is everything that is advertised and we had a wonderful stay at Erase Una Vez. The villa has everything you could possibly want, including a welcome pack. There is a stock of herbs etc, as well as soaps, washing up liquids etc. The villa is off the beaten track, with some hairpin mountain roads, however the roads are fairly quiet. The pay-off is the privacy and the night sky is amazing - we could see the milky way, and had a fantastic show of a meteor shower over 4 nights during our stay. The pool is warm from 9 - 10 am, there is also an outdoor shower to wash the salt off. With there being 2 kitchens and 2 fridge-freezers, there was plenty of room for our food and drinks. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table outside. There is a pool table in the summer kitchen, but it probably doesn't have quite enough room around it, to play well. There is a Lidl in Albox, which is about a 40 minute drive. On the last few days of our stay, we went more inland and found a Mercadona in Puerto Lumbreras, which is easier to get to - the roads being so much better. Laureano was available if we had any problems, and helped make our stay very comfortable, a real pleasure to meet. A renovated monastery - Hospederia Santuario is a 10 minute drive, for a fabulous meal, call first though, to check when open. Bowleria in Albox for bowling and food was great too. Mojacar has beaches and is just over an hour away - the sea was fabulously warm.

Nous qui aimons la randonnĂ©e et la nature, nous avons Ă©tĂ© servis ! L'endroit est magnifique : les amandiers Ă©taient en fleurs : un rĂ©el plaisir pour les yeux ! Cela a Ă©tĂ© une agrĂ©able surprise pour nous de dĂ©couvrir l'espace de la vĂ©randa qui donnait directement sur la cuisine et le living et qui n'apparaissait pas encore en photo sur le site. GrĂące Ă  cela, nous avons pu profiter de la vue de jour comme de nuit. Le petit poĂȘle Ă  bois Ă©tait aussi trĂšs sympa pour une petite flambĂ©e aprĂšs nos ballades. La villa est vraiment bien Ă©quipĂ©e et est super confortable malgrĂ© le lieu reculĂ©. Elle est aussi dĂ©corĂ©e avec beaucoup de gout. Nous avons trĂšs bien Ă©tĂ© accueillis par les propriĂ©taires qui nous ont donnĂ© de trĂšs bonnes adresses, Merci Ă  Laureano et Muriel pour leur disponibilitĂ©. Nous espĂ©rons revenir un jour prochain. Pour les amoureux de la nature et de belles balades, nous recommandons vivement !

Lovely mountain retreat

Muriel & Laureano were extremely welcoming, communicative and generous hosts. They have thought of many things to make the stay more enjoyable and relaxing. They were extremely helpful before our arrival and gave excellent tips on the local area. The villa itself is in a remote location but you are rewarded with stunning panoramic views and zero light and noise pollution so it’s wonderful at night as well as in the day. The standard of the pool and pool area were exceptional and the plancha in the pool kitchen was a joy to cook on. We had two young children and both the villa and outside areas were great for adults and children. Highly recommend a stay here.

Fantastic property if you love tranquility - amazing hosts!!

This house in the almond tree covered hills of Andalusia is a fantastic choice for everyone who loves nature, starry nights, remoteness and quietness. The house is well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. A big, clean and deep (at one side) pool offers a refreshing break from the Southern sun. The almonds were ripe, so we ate fresh ones every day. Also the house is offering a herbs garden which was a welcomed add-on to our fresh salads. The house itself offers everything we needed, including two bathrooms and one additional bathroom down by the pool! Enough towels for the three of us were provided, although we brought our own. The washing machine works well. The best was the amazingly clear nights with unpolluted views of the MilkyWay and Andromeda galaxy (we stayed in August). For everyone who is passionate about dark skies - this house is fantastic. At ~3000ft/1000m above sea level, the valley dust was well below us offering pristine views. Great place for astro-photography. And the hosts are amazing, too - great communication, superior customer support coming over to fix a minor issue we had with no hesitation. Even a welcome package and some drinks to get started with the vacation waited for us on arrival. And for the departure, at 5a.m. the host came by personally to say good-by! Very kind and sooo much appreciated! Communication by whatsapp throughout the stay worked very well. The pool is serviced two times the week and was advised in advance again by Whatsapp. Some of the best hosts we've had so far (and we are experiences vacation home renters). Oh, by the way - the beds are comfy (even for tall people) - and the master bed room has a funky colored blinking light - which we found out by accident on the last day - just try it - it's funny! Overall, a very pleasant experience, and a big recommendation from us. Thanks so much for everything!

Very enjoyable - stunning area and villa - limited places to eat on an evening

Fantastic 'well stocked' (as in cutlery/crockery/vinegars/spices etc etc) family villa (although there was only two of us - we love space to ourselves) - great place for cooking and eating outdoors. Pool area is amazing - views are spectacular and because surrounding villas are unoccupied we found the privacy - just the way we like it. Only down side for us as a couple - we choose not to cook for ourselves on holiday - tend to have jaunt out somewhere for a coffee - then back for lunch and relax (again) so found choices of where to eat on an evening (locally) very limited - either restaurant at the garage where food was OK and people very friendly - and patient with our attempts at Spanish with 'Google' - only other place was the nearby monastery just up the hill from the Villa - again food was OK - didn't find it outstanding as others had seemed to but again very friendly (menu only in Spanish - translation thanks again to Google) - We enjoyed the villa, had a lovely welcome from Mary who we by chance met up with at the garage restaurant on the Friday (festival night) and had a wonderful night with her and Carl enjoying their translations of locals conversations. Would I go back - YES - one thing to watch out for if you arrive on a Sunday afternoon there are NO supermarkets open in Albox to do your shopping - so shop a bit nearer to Almeria where there are some open. Otherwise it means a trip out the next day - which we usually like to keep as a total chill day. Overall a lovely relaxing place, and thanks to the owners there is nothing you will be short of. They have made a lovely haven with their care and love.

Wonderful

Totally relaxing stay. The beautiful view of the hills dotted with almond trees combined with no traffic or crowds makes this villa location perfect for anyone looking to chill, At night, the view of the milky way and the orange mars is a wonder to see especially those that have too much light pollution at home. I even spotted Andromeda through my binoculars. The pool is large and cool perfect for a dip when the sun is too hot. The recent addition of the pergola with a screen was a great idea as this is a better shield from the sun than the parasols. There is no air conditioning in the house with fans to keep you cool. We found that even in mid August we didn't have the fans switched on all the time as the temperature inside the house was fine. So, if you're looking for a completely relaxing holiday and savour that feeling of nothing to do apart from chilling out - this one is for you.

If your looking for that away from it all location....

If you are looking for isolation then this is the place for you. We loved the peace and beauty of the surrounding area, you can park the car, lock the gates and be at peace with the world. It is a long drive to the nearest large town of Albox, so it is essential that you do your shopping prior to arrival. We didn't drive around a lot, so we never found out if there was a local shop to go to. The house, it's name translates to Once upon a time, didn't really reach to fairytale heights for us. At night there are lights which come on which helps to promote the fairytale nature. The house is full of everything you need, you just need to hunt into the array of cupboards to find it. Yes, its a bit of an adventure!. There are three bedrooms in the main house and a double in an annex to the summer kitchen. The master bedroom, we felt was a bit of a disappointment, the bed had two single mattresses on top of what seemed to be a double. You feel very precarious pearched on it. The owners suggested we use the annex bedroom, but that didn't work for us. On the outside, the patio surrounds the house on three sides and there are different places to sit and eat. We loved the opportunity to eat outside. The steps lead down to to pool and summer kitchen, We used the pool at lot. It's a very good size and the water cooled us down when we felt too hot. We didn't take the opportunity to use the summer kitchen with it griddle for barbecues. Overall, the house is an interesting one, with plenty of character. If the owners are seeking a fairytale destination, then its a work in progress. It needs more to make it so. Would we go again, then yes we would. The location is fantastic for solitude and views over the surrounding countryside. The owners require paperwork to be signed and returned. It's a bit onerous compared to other villas that we have booked using this site. Overall we had a very good week's holiday.

Le luxe du silence !

La villa erase una vez est situĂ©e au milieu des amandiers dans un lieu calme et reposant. Les paysages autour sont impressionnants Ă  chaque moment de la JournĂ©e . Les petits villages de VĂ©lez-Rubio et VĂ©lez-Blanco sont accessibles par une jolie petite route Ă  travers la montagne et agrĂ©able pour profiter des douces soirĂ©es d’étĂ© autour de quelques tapas et boissons fraĂźches. L’observation de la Voie lactĂ©e est magique, peu d’endroit offre ce spectacle Ă©toilĂ©e, ici pas de pollution lumineuse ! Les nombreux Ă©quipements de la villa permettent de distraire toute la famille. L’immense piscine est un vrai bonheur le soir aprĂšs une journĂ©e de visite, pour se relaxer et se rafraĂźchir. La mer est Ă  1h de route et nous avons trouvĂ© des plages et des criques sympas oĂč il y avait peu de monde. En bref, nous avons passĂ©s deux excellentes semaines avec un temps magnifique constant et nous recommandons cette villa sans hĂ©sitations Ă  tous ceux qui aiment la nature, le calme et la beautĂ© des paysages. Merci Ă  Muriel et Laureano pour leur accueil et leur organisation. VĂ©ronique, Thierry, Armand et Charline

Waouw ! Fabuleux ! L'organisation, l'accueil, la villa, l’environnement : tout est parfait !

J'avoue que j'Ă©tais peu emballĂ©e au dĂ©part quand mon Ă©poux a proposĂ© de louer cette villa sur le conseil d'un de ses collĂšgues qui y avait passĂ© ses vacances. Nous sommes parti avec mes 3 enfants (11, 14, 17 ans), ma soeur et ses 2 enfants (12-16 ans) . Mes apprĂ©hensions se sont envolĂ©es une fois arrivĂ©s Ă  la villa. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© trĂšs agrĂ©ablement accueilli par Muriel et Laureano, les propriĂ©taires. La vue est Ă©poustouflante tout comme le calme qui y rĂšgne. La villa est trĂšs bien Ă©quipĂ©e, rien ne manque pour passer un agrĂ©able sĂ©jour. Il y a 4 vĂ©ritables chambres (avec des vrais lits et pas de canapĂ©-lit !) qui sont toutes bien dĂ©corĂ©es. Ma soeur est restĂ©e dans la villa avec les enfants, tandis que nous avons profitĂ© de la chambre prĂšs de la piscine pour un peu d'intimitĂ© et surtout une vue magnifique le matin. Les enfants n'ont pas eu le temps de s'ennuyer : piscine, discothĂšque improvisĂ©e, match de ping-pong et de pĂ©tanque, jeux de sociĂ©tĂ© et observation des oiseaux : hirondelles et guĂȘpiers (nous a dit le voisin Miguel). La mer se situe Ă  une heure de route de la villa. Revenir le soir aprĂšs une journĂ©e au bord de l'eau nous faisait plaisir car aprĂšs l'animation des plages, retrouver un peu de calme, cela faisait du bien ! Mon Ă©poux qui aime cuisiner s'est essayĂ© Ă  la plancha. GrĂące aux plantes aromatiques du jardin, tout Ă©tait un vrai dĂ©lice. Les commerces ne sont pas tout proches mais les 2 frigos mis Ă  disposition nous ont permis de ne pas faire des emplettes tous les jours. Nous avons profitĂ© de la tournĂ©e du boulanger local qui nous a livrĂ© du pain sur commande. Le soir, il Ă©tait trĂšs plaisant de rester au dehors sur le lounge pour observer la myriade d'Ă©toiles et surtout les Ă©toiles filantes. Mary, qui est la personne de contact sur place en l'absence de Muriel et Laureano est aussi charmante. Nous avons eu un problĂšme de clĂ© qui a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©solu trĂšs rapidement par ses soins. En rĂ©sumĂ©, nous avons tous passĂ© des super vacances dans cet endroit magnifique. Nous le recommandons vivement.

Une tranquillité inégalable

La villa eraze una vez est un lieu de sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ©, loin de la pollution de la ville, situĂ© en pleine montagne. La villa comporte plusieurs chambres ainsi que plusieurs salles de bain. J’ai eu un petit coup de cƓur pour la chambre se situant prĂšs de la piscine, donnant une vue Ă©poustouflante dĂšs le rĂ©veil. L’endroit contient une cuisine trĂšs bien Ă©quipĂ©e, Ă  l’intĂ©rieur, ainsi qu’une cuisine ouverte prĂšs de la piscine permettant de se faire de bons petits plats, grĂące Ă  la plancha disponible. De nombreux endroits sont disponibles pour faire une sieste Ă  l’extĂ©rieur, soit sur le toit dans l’espace « zen », soit prĂšs de l’entrĂ©e de la maison, soit en-dessous des pergolas afin de retenir un peu d’ombre. A l’arriĂšre de la villa, il y a un sympathique petit terrain de pĂ©tanque, agrĂ©able avec un apĂ©ro. Au niveau de la localisation, l’endroit se situe Ă  plus ou moins 15minutes d’une petite ville et Ă  30 minutes de Velez Rubio oĂč je vous conseille d’aller manger le fameux « chuleton » au Asador espadin . Il y a notamment des sources d’eau accessibles Ă  5minutes en voiture. Je vous recommande vivement la Villa Eraze una vez !
