There is also a dining room with room for 10 around the table and plenty of space outside with outdoor furniture provided, making this villa suitable for one or two families, or a group of friends.

Testimonials “Great villa with amazing views over one of the most beautiful bays on the Mediterranean. Quite simply impressive!” Martin Barufaldi, Salobrena. "Because of its position, with no other properties beyond it, the villa has a stunning and uninterrupted view across the beautiful bay of La Herradura. At the end of a private cul-de-sac within a secure community area, it is very private and safe for children. There is plenty of parking for several cars, within the garage and on a private gated drive, or free parking on the street just outside the villa. The large private swimming pool has plenty of space around it for guests to relax and soak up the sun which shines from dawn until very late in the afternoon in the summer. This is a lovely, spacious and tastefully furnished holiday home for families and friends to enjoy time together, with plenty of room to socialise and have personal ‘me’ time." Ann and Stuart Mckie “Dear Tim and Louise We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had in La Herradura. The villa was fabulous, far above our expectations and furnished to a very high standard. As you know, our daughter and family were with us and there was lots of space to accommodate us all. We took the huge bedroom on the top floor, which gave us a floor in between us and them, so no noise: perfect for the early wake up call from the little ones! However, we were surprised that all the bedrooms were large. Great living space on the middle floor, with large terraces outside for sunbathing and alfresco dining. Safety is always a principle issue for the children, and there were gates in place where needed, especially the pool terrace. Above all, its position overlooking the bay and mountains was spectacular, a feast to the eyes night and day from every room! Hope it will be an annual event. Many thanks again, William and Lisa, Tolcis, 14/11/15” Villa Celeste was launched for rental in November 2015.
