The house fitted 8 of us really well. We mixed dining at home using the bbq and the oven for pizza etc as It was easy to get to local shops by car and the occasional trip to EROSKI supermarket fitted in with a visit to the Water Park etc. The pool was a great size and everyone was able to enjoy it. There was plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. Extending full air conditioning to all bedrooms would be an advantage as the mobile units didn’t really cope with August temperatures. Neighbour Alan was most helpful and kept the pool in good order. We would recommend, provided people know you can’t walk to any restaurants as the only one previously mentioned was closed throughout our visit. ##### Jennifer E.

Everything was extremely clean, bedrooms are very large, kitchen new and modern. Very quite and secluded amongst the olive trees with beautiful views of the mountains and Granada gap. Very relaxing holiday was had by all. ##### Beverley D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Oct 4, 2009 #### Our stay at the Retreat Our family have had a wonderful time staying at the Retreat,it was a perfect getaway. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us ,the facilities were excellent and the owners were extremely helpful and obligeing. The villa was far enough out to give seclusion and privicy but not too far from the local amenities. We have stayed in quite a few villas and this was certainly one of the best. The views from the villa are quite stunning and will not disappoint. We stayed in mainly and lived off the barbeque as we were happy to just have lazy days by the pool relaxing. The only disappointment was that only two of the main bedrooms had double beds,not three as listed in the property details. I would definately recommend the villa to family and friends. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Torremolinos Playa](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Occidental-Torremolinos-Playa.h1909874.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotel Villa Gala](https://www.expedia.ca/Cadaques-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-Villa-Gala.h20608263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vibra Mare Nostrum](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibiza-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Playasol-Mare-Nostrum.h1200270.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-De-Tenerife-Hotels-Iberostar-Heritage-Grand-Mencey.h17496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel - Ushuaïa Club entrance included](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Ushuaia-Ibiza-Beach-Hotel.h910196.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibiza-Town-Hotels-Nobu-Hotel-Ibiza-Bay.h17675282.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean House Costa del Sol, Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Ocean-House-Costa-Del-Sol.h72084.Hotel-Information) > > [xxxxxxxxxx](https://www.expedia.ca/Chiclana-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Xxxxxxxxxx.h38262598.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Sal Rossa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Apartamentos-Sal-Rossa.h16434480.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marqués de Riscal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Elciego](https://www.expedia.ca/Elciego-Hotels-Hotel-Marques-De-Riscal.h1523319.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamentos Bajondillo](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamentos-Bajondillo.h1475566.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Marriotts-Marbella-Beach-Resort.h903183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Santa Marta](https://www.expedia.ca/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-Santa-Marta.h428543.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-White-Island-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h9778941.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama](https://www.expedia.ca/Guia-De-Isora-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h1338023.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Costa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Melia-Costa-Del-Sol.h525750.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Muro-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Playa-De-Muro-Village.h1734031.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Hotel Sóller](https://www.expedia.ca/Soller-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Soller.h1129700.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Torremolinos - Don Pablo](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Sol-Torremolinos-Don-Pablo.h73385.Hotel-Information) > > [The Site Hotel Ibiza – New Opening 2026](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-The-Site-Hotel-Ibiza-New-Opening-2026.h7065553.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Vendrell-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ra-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1175187.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Palace-Ibiza-Resort-Spa.h1439711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Best Semiramis](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-De-La-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Best-Semiramis.h2335300.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Miguel-De-Abona-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Fantasia-Tenerife-All-Inclusive.h21628653.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Monica - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Nerja-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Monica-Adults-Only.h1096993.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Royal Andalus](https://www.expedia.ca/Chiclana-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Iberostar-Royal-Andalus.h2858301.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel Ibiza - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Alua-Hawaii-Ibiza.h1134236.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Principe](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Sol-Principe.h902884.Hotel-Information) > > [Club La Santa - all sports inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tinajo-Hotels-Club-La-Santa-All-Sports-Inclusive.h10481064.Hotel-Information)
