About this property

Quality, detached, modern yet comfortable villa set amongst stunning gardens

Sleeping 6 to 7 people (by arrangement), this 3 twin bedroom, two bathroom, detached villa is in the desirable, peaceful location of El Rancho at La Manga Club. It was completely modernised and refurbished to the highest standard in 2015. All our guests have given us great reviews commenting on the quality of furbishment and the "home from home" feel of the villa.

The villa is ideal for both a family holiday or an adults only trip. Set in tranquil, landscaped gardens, with a large expanse of grass perfect for children to play safely on,this traditional style, 2 storey villa is air-conditioned throughout. The entrance area has a WC/cloakroom and leads to a spacious comfortable lounge/dining room with high ceiling and 2 contemporary paddle fans. The wood burner provides additional heating and a cosy feel for any winter visitors. In keeping with the style of El Rancho (the stables), the wooden beams in the vaulted ceiling add character and retains a link with the past. Light coloured floor tiles and dark leather sofas provide a luxurious tone. The lounge has a TV with a great selection of TV channels, and a few games (Scrabble, Bananagrams, cards etc). The property also has free WIFI. The dining area opens to stylish fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, hob and oven, extractor fan, lots of traditional terracotta earthenware, plenty of cutlery and crockery) with ample storage in high gloss walnut coloured and cream units, granite work surfaces, cream wall tiles.

Patio doors lead from the lounge to a large terrace with table and chairs for 6, an inbuilt BBQ and has great views over the Mar Menor and surrounding landscape. A large wooden dining table with chairs comfortably seats six and a retractable awning provides welcome shade above. There is an external staircase leading to a further roof terrace, which boasts stunning views of the nearby pool and gardens - the ideal place to catch the last rays of the sun in the evening. Both terraces have surrounding walls with inset wooden rails, thus providing good safety for children (If required, there is also the facility to use a child gate to restrict children reaching the upper terrace). Downstairs there are 3 generous bedrooms (one of which is en-suite with very large rainfall shower) each with 2 single beds and built in wardrobes, and in the third bedroom there is the option to have an additional bed to sleep the seventh person if required. There is also a large family bathroom, beautifully tiled. Each bathroom has a hairdryer. The light and airy master bedroom benefits from patio doors which open onto a small terrace and the villa's front garden. Set in beautiful landscaped gardens with bougainvillea, palm and citrus trees, the villa is a stone’s throw from the nearest swimming pool (pool 3 - guests at El Rancho have a choice of 9 pools). Bellaluz Plaza contains a some shops including a very well stocked supermarket, restaurants and bar and is a short walk away. All the resorts main facilities are within walking distance. As guests of the villa you can enjoy reduced resident rates for golf and tennis. Our management company are easily contactable and can arrange additional services such as taxi's, babysitting, supermarket shop for your arrival, provide high chairs etc.

La Manga Club and the Mar Menor offer many other activities such as bicycle hire, scuba diving on a marine reserve, kite surfing, water-skiing, wind surfing, boat hire, go-karting, hill walking; as well as superb beaches which are safe for children. The marina of Cabo de Palos, only a 10 minute drive away, is a delightful place to visit offering good seafood restaurants and an opportunity to sit and enjoy the sea views.Further afield are the cities of Murcia and Cartagena which both offer fantastic restaurants and shops as well as many places of historical interest.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I've been visiting La Manga Club for 30 years, ever since my parents bought the villa. Time marches on and Dad sold the villa to my husband and I in 2014 - I couldn't bear to see it go and we both love the villa and all La Manga Club and the surrounding areas have to offer. We are fairly new to the rental business, so aim to be flexible and listen to what our guests want and comment on. Please get in touch if you want any general or specific information. We have a great management company so I'm sure anything you need can be arranged. If the dates in the calendar don't work for you, give me a call because if we can accommodate you we will. Thanks.
We currently live near Wimborne in Dorset and usually visit our villa twice a year for a great holiday and rest.

Why they chose this property

La Manga Club has so much to offer everyone: families with young children or teenagers, adults, sporty and active people or those who just want to enjoy the sun and a good book. We're a mixture of all those things so it's ideal for us. On resort you can play on championship golf courses, play tennis and other racquet sports at the newly refurbed Racquet Centre, or just enjoy cooling yourself off in one of the swimming pools. Off the resort you can find the 'real' Spain easily, from the village of Los Belones just a mile or so away to the fishing village of Cabo de Palos which is 3 miles away towards the Strip (a long sand spit with fantastic beaches). Cartagena and Murcia are of immense historical interest and offer everything large towns have. We love to travel to different places in the world but have always enjoyed holidays at El Rancho in our villa. The villa is our second home so you will find it is cared for and equipped to a very high standard, it is not just a rental property.

What makes this property unique

Our villa is part of the El Rancho (ER) community and set in lovely, and recently re-landscaped gardens, giving a feeling of space and privacy. There are 9 community pools and so you can always joint in the fun or find a quiet area to relax or swim. The ER owners take pride in their community and this is evident in the care taken both inside and outside the properties. The roads are very quiet and have plenty of parking spaces. Although all the ER properties are similar in terms of style they vary in layout. Our villa is arranged over 2 floors and the bedrooms are all accessible from an internal staircase. We have 2 large terrace areas, the largest facing out towards to Mar Menor and the other overlooking the gardens. Both are quite private and provide ample opportunity for both shade and sun.
