Fabulous Villa by Sandy Beach with Pool - heated pool optional.

As a family of 5 Adults & 2 young children we rented this lovely villa for 1 week this May. Its location is one of the best we have found, located a few meters from a beautiful beach, sea is shallow and perfect for young children The villa is well furnished and the kitchen has all the equipment you could need. The weather was beautiful which meant we could take full advantage of the pool and barbeque area, its perfect for a family. Please note this villa is advertised as having air conditioning which it does however, you need to contact the owner to reqest the hand controls during certain months !! I would suggest this is done prior to arrival. Local supermarket is a short walk, the villa did not have any cupboard essentials when we arrived. Overall a lovely property and an absolutely stunning location.

We just have had a wonderful week at the downstairs apartment of this amazing villa situated at a quiet end of the resort of Isla Canela. The property is one of a few in the same area, owned by the super friendly Katharina. Villa Canela deserves a glorious 5-star review in terms of communications with the owner, cleanliness, reception, and value for money! The villa is just 30 steps away from the beach and the pool is fantastic, although due to end of October, it's a bit nippy and takes a bit of courage to step into it. It would be great if it could be heated for colder months, but we know this is too cheeky to ask, as this is pure luxury for us already! Due to the small size of the family, we usually can only rent a holiday apartment, this is the first time we ever have experienced a villa, thanks to the flexible design and rental options (it can be rented as two separate units or an entire villa)! The bar has been raised!! We will definitely return. We can't stop singing praises of this well appointed villa and the 6 km long beautiful sandy beach at Isla Canela. In fact, several friends after seeing our holiday photos have asked for information already! It is definitely the perfect place for catching the winter sun, as it's very easy to get to, either 45 minutes away from Faro airport or 60 minutes from Seville. It was still 28 degree when we arrived, and about 24 degree when we left on 1st November. In comparison, it was only 5 degree when we came back to UK, brrrrr.... It goes without saying that the villa is perfect for summer holidays as well, but do expect the crowds! We are almost reluctant to write this review because now that the secret is out, we might not be able to book it next time for our holiday due to popular demands. Thank you very much, Katharina. We'll be back soon!

Excelent location... excelent service...fantastic beach

Lovely and fun week at Villa Canela We were at Villa Canela with 11 friends. We enjoyed the pool that was big and clean, many bathrooms, kitchen was well equipped and beach and shops were nearby. The villa was almost on the beach. Housekeepers were really nice and lovely. They helped us in everything we needed. Gracias Alina and Sorin! I would recommend this villa for everyone. ☺ Mismo en espanol: Una semana muy maravilloso en Villa Canela Tuvimos unas buenas vacaciones con 11 amigos. Disfrutanos de piscina muy grande y limpia, cocina estaba bien equipada y lugar cerca de las tiendas. La villa era casi en la playa! Personal, Alina y Sorin, nos ayudo en todo que necesitamos. Gracias a ellos! Puedo recommendar Villa Canela a todo! - Heini Laitinen, Finland

We stayed at Villa Canela from 2nd oct - 10th oct 2014, lovely villa, everything you could ask for - stunning location with lovely beach bars, lovely views from 2 balconies, private pool, bbq everything provided you need - even bikes!!! If you want English food - breakfasts etc don't bother as everything typically Spanish - fab We will definitely be back!!!!

Villa Canela was more than we expected. A beautiful comfortable spacious house with sea views and many terraces and a large pool overlooking a lovely beach . The area was charming with lots to do ,kitesurfing ,cycling ,atmospheric chiringuitos( beach cafes),an authentic Spanish town nearby,Ayamonte . Katharina , Mike , Alina,Sorin and co made us feel like part of the family . I look forward to returning and highly recommend Villa Canela.

We were in Isla Canela for the first time and we simply love it. The house was fantastic and it is located in a privilege place near the beach. The beach is great and the sea has the best watter that we ever been. It´s worth to go there. Estivemos em Isla Canela pela primeira vez e simplesmente adorámos. A casa era fantástica e está localizado num lugar privilegiado perto da praia. Além disso a temperatura da água do mar é excelente. Vale a pena ir até lá. João Salvador

We were in Villa Canela in mid August. This is a nice area with pleasing surroundings and a beautiful and calm beach. The beach is right in front of the house, a street away from the house door. The downstairs terrace facing the pool was the main place for everyone in the house. There is a table outside, stretch beds and a BBQ. The pool was large enough to put up with a large family as we are. The pool was nice and treated. The teenagers and the children passed a lot of time in the pool. The elder were chatting and playing cards at the table. Everyone enjoyed the Villa... The house is great, the kitchens were well equipped and it felt cosy to be there. It was clean and everything was there.

It is the third time we went back (two family's) to Villa Canella, and not without a reason. The place is just awesome. We travelled a lot and this villa is just on the right place. No kidding, it is only 30 meters from the beach. It is great to see the kids playing around in our own private pool, which is great to have. Lots of places around the house you can catch the sun (in the wind or just out the wind). The view from the room terrace is priceless, just sitting there and watch relaxed over the ocean makes a perfect holiday. The villa is perfect for two friended families and sleeps total of 12. Own parking place. We had one small issue with the pool, the water stopped pumping, which was not dramatic, but one phone call and within 5 minutes Kevin was at the villa fixing it (water was just a bit low, probably to many bombs and dives in teh water) .. PS Kevin's Andalusian's Bar , check it out, it is the place to pick up the keys. Good seafood for a even better price. If you want to enjoy a nice quite relaxed holiday, this is THE place to be.. Less then 50 minutes by car from Faro, Villa Canella highly recommended...
