Fantastic villa
My clients were very happy with the location and standard of the villa. They had a great stay. It would have been slightly better if the owner, manager could have been a bit quicker responding to some of our queries. But overall very good experience and would reserve with them for future clients.

La villa es maravillosa. Tiene las mejores vistas que hemos podido disfrutar en todos los aƱos que hemos alquilado en La playa de los Alemanes. La realidad supera las fotos con creces. El confort es absoluto y la atenciĆ³n por parte de los dueƱos fue impecable. Estuvimos siete amigos y fue un autĆ©ntico disfrute. La recomendamos a todo el mundo.

Perfecta!!.
Es la primera vez que vengo a esta Villa. La alquile por la tranquilidad de la zona, ya que llevo veraneando aquĆ­ unos 25 aƱos. La casa es maravillosa. La piscina y el jacuzzi, espectacular. Me he dado casi todos los dĆ­as una sauna, y ha sido perfecto poder ver el mar mientras la tomaba. Paredes de cristal y dentro del salĆ³n. Algo increĆ­ble!. La cocina perfectamente equipada. Un salĆ³n dividido en tres o cuatro estancias diferentes, que aunque tenga alrededor de 200 m2, es muy acogedor. El porche es para pasarse el dĆ­a entero. La habitaciĆ³n principal, espectacular. Y con una baƱera desbordante muy relajante. Pero lo mejor de todo....las vistas!!. No creo que haya ninguna otra casa en la zona, con las vistas que tiene Villa Amaranta. Ninguna. No se distingue donde acaba la piscina y empieza al ocĆ©ano. De verdad que es algo que recomiendo encarecidamente. SĆ³lo tengo una cosa negative que comentar: unas obras que estĆ”n haciendo a 2 metros de la Villa, para construir una nueva casa. AĆŗn asĆ­, sĆ³lo han molestado dos dĆ­as, y el propietario, en cuanto se enterĆ³ de las obras, se acercĆ³ para hablar con los obreros, y se ha mantenido en contacto mostrando su preocupaciĆ³n por este tema. AĆŗn asĆ­, esto no es culpa del propietario, y la estancia sigue siendo una maravilla. Definitivamente, intentare volver tan pronto como tenga unas vacaciones en las que el clima acompaƱe. Porque hasta eso ha sido y sigue siendo perfecto: desde el dĆ­a que entrĆ© hasta hoy, que es 8 de Octubre, el tiempo ha sido perfecto. Soleado con temperaturas de hasta 30 grados..... Espero que los dĆ­as que me quedan, sigan acompaƱando. Come he comenzado antes, y sin ningĆŗn tipo de duda, volverĆ© tan pronto como pueda. Totalmente recomendable, y eso harĆ© con mis compaƱeros: recomendarles Villa Amaranta.

Magical Place for a Vacation
Villa Amaranta is a dream come true. The house is as beautiful as it appears on the website, the views from every room are stunning, and it is the best-equipped house that we have ever rented. The house was very clean, and the outdoor areas, including the pool and jacuzzi, were perfectly maintained. The owners, Francisco and Rebecca, were very responsive to all of our questions during the booking process, and were so gracious when we met them and checked into the house. The caretaker came every few days to check the pool, jacuzzi and outdoor areas, and was polite and kind. The house is perfectly situated for many activities. My husband is a cyclist, and went on long bicycle rides each day in the surrounding countryside. We took daily walks to the lighthouse, Faro Carminal, and one day walked further along to visit a charming little goat farm to buy farm fresh eggs and goat cheese. We enjoyed a hike to Bolonia Beach one day, visited the beach at Zahara de los Atunes twice, and had delicious lunches at the chiringuito, La Luna. We drove over to Barbate to see the local festival and maritime procession, Feria del Carmen. We took a day trip to Morocco, which is just a quick drive and a short ferry ride away from the villa. The beach directly below the house, Playa de los Alemanes, was our favorite beach, very unspoiled and uncrowded, and our favorite meals were the ones prepared in our own beautiful kitchen and eaten outside while enjoying the fantastic view. After all the activities during the days, we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets, star gazing at night, and pure relaxation in the house. We would love to return for another vacation, and would recommend Villa Amaranta to friends and family. It truly was a perfect vacation.

SUCH A LOVELY PLACE!
I would like to write a review about the property and I have to say that it was fantastic.Very good choice. My family and I spend our holiday there from 1st June to 7th of June 2012 and we enjoyed so much the views, the amenities, the landscape, and so on. When we were in, it seemed like we were outside because it had numerous and big windows. The villa was very clean and very well equipped. I especially loved the suit and the jacuzzi. It was fantastic. We also liked so much the beautiful garden and really enjoyed a barbecue one day. By the way, the area is very worthy to visit. There are lovely places. I used to go to Montenmedio golf course, whereas my wife and children stayed by the stunning pool. We were so impressive that we are coming back this summer. We are very looking forward to staying there. Thanks to the owners. We received a very kind and attentive treatment during our stay. I recommend this villa to anyone who wants to spend a very good time in Costa de La Luz, Andalucia. Amir Said

SUPERB VILLA
we just had our first villa vacation in Spain with my family in law from England and it was wonderful, we could not have chosen a better villa or location. Wonderful, luxurious and fully equipped with everything you may need for a relaxing holiday. By far the most beautiful villa we have ever rented. The beds were so comfortable. Everything was very clean. Lovely interior decoration. We were delighted to enjoy the huge infinity swimming pool. The view from there was stunning. We looked forward to midnight jacuzzi's under the stars. The sunsets were superb!! Lots of great restaurants, tapas bars... and all within an easy reach. German's beach was fantastic, even during season a wonderful quiet spot can be found . Thanks to the gardener and the owners for the service we received. They were all very kind. We will definately be back, to enjoy this superb villa. Many thanks.

ESPECTACULAR
Hemos pasado uns dĆ­as inolvidables. Mi marido realmente me sorprendiĆ³ en nuestro quinto aniversario de boda. Fue una elecciĆ³n perfecta. La villa estĆ” localizada en un sitio paradisiaco. Rodeados de naturaleza y con unas vistas al mar espectaculares, pasamos unos dĆ­as formidables. Por dentro, no se le puede poner ninguna pega. Estaba muy limpia y perfectamente bien equipada. AdemĆ”s tiene pinta de ser una villa de reciente construcciĆ³n y parecĆ­a que la estrenĆ”bamos nosotros. Todo muy bien mantenido. La suit es de ensueƱo. El jardĆ­n, con muy buen gusto. Por sus numerosos ventanales dentro de la casa tienes la sensaciĆ³n de que estĆ”s en el exterior pero con mucha intimidad. Hemos alquilado otras villas en vacaciones, y Ć©sta es la mĆ”s luminosa en la que hemos estado. No necesitamos usar la calefacciĆ³n porque el sol la calentaba. Los atardeceres eran un especĆ”culo. Nos metimos un dĆ­a en el jacuzzi y fue una gozada. Ver las estrellas y las luces de Ɓfrica, desde el jacuzzi fue alucinante. La sauna la usamos mĆ”s. Nos encantĆ³. Era muy moderna y nada agobiante porque estaba cristalada y parecĆ­a que estabas fuera. Merece la pena conocer el entorno. Por las tardes, solĆ­amos ir al Faro Camarinal ( la vista es preciosa. Muy recomendable). Otro dĆ­a fuimos a ver las ruinas de Bolonia. Los restaurante que elegiĆ³ mi marido nos gustaron mucho. La cocina era muy eaborada y el trato muy amable. Nos dio mucha pena tener que marchar. El servicio por parte de los propietarios fue muy cordial. Se preocuparon de que todo estuvira correcto y de si necesitĆ”bamos alguna cosa. Por cierto, enhorabuena de nuevo por su casa! Se la recomendamos a todo el mundo, sobre todo quien busca descansar, paz, y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Estamos pensando en volver con nuestros hijos y padres cuando tengamos ocasiĆ³n.

UNA ESTANCIA MARAVILLOSA
Fue un fin de semana extraordinario en febrero. Elegimos esta villa por su espacioso salĆ³n porque nos alojamos 8 personas para hacer una celebraciĆ³n familiar y ademĆ”s nos visitaron unos amigos el sĆ”bado. La amplitud del salĆ³n nos fascinĆ³ a todos y nos hizo pasar un dĆ­a inolvidable, con una paz increible, mucho espacio y unas vistas de ensueƱo. Yo usĆ© la sauna todos los dĆ­as. Acostumbrado a una desde la que no ves nada, al estar en Ć©sta... QuĆ© maravilla.. Ves el mar desde dentro. Mis hermanos usaron el jacuzzi y lo disfrutaron mucho. Gracias a los dueƱos por el trato dispensado. Estuvieron muy atentos de que no nos faltara de nada. Nos encantarĆ­a volver. Antonio GutiĆ©rrez

Dissapointing
Unfortunately I have to say our stay here was disappointing. Before booking at the villa we emailed to ask if the pool was heated, as we were two families with small children who were very much looking forward to swimming on our vacation. The owner replied that the pool was solar heated and that we would enjoy it. When we arrived, the pool was barely above freezing! I was not aware that solar heating meant the pool would only be heated if the weather was warm and sunny. I believe this is something the owners shoud have made clear before we booked. When we arrived after a long day of travelling, we were looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub. However the owners did not have the hot tub ready, and we actually couldn't even use it until day 4. They had not cleaned it, and they had not made sure it was in working order. Another big disappointment. We were required to email every time we wanted the sauna turned on. This was a huge annoyance, because half the time when we sent an email, the owner would not respond and the sauna would not be turned on. One time they even had the audacity to tell us their batteries died on their phones and that is why they did not get the messages. We were all adults and felt like teenagers asking permission to use a facility promised in the description of the home. When you are paying a premium price, I expect the property to be run professionally, and we did not get that treatment during our entire stay. When we were ready to leave, we sent an email requesting to speak in person about the issues we had. We sent the email the night before our departure, and twice again in the morning. Nobody responded, and nobody showed up to meet us. So here we were, with keys to a house, and no idea what to do with them when we left. At the last minute a pool man showed up and asked for the keys. I think this is unacceptable. As a property owner I feel it would be my main priority to make sure my guests were treated professionally and with respect. We did not get this treatment during our entire stay. We were truly disappointed in Villa Amaranta. We would not reccommend it to anyone.
