Lovely mountain retreat

Muriel & Laureano were extremely welcoming, communicative and generous hosts. They have thought of many things to make the stay more enjoyable and relaxing. They were extremely helpful before our arrival and gave excellent tips on the local area. The villa itself is in a remote location but you are rewarded with stunning panoramic views and zero light and noise pollution so it’s wonderful at night as well as in the day. The standard of the pool and pool area were exceptional and the plancha in the pool kitchen was a joy to cook on. We had two young children and both the villa and outside areas were great for adults and children. Highly recommend a stay here.

Sept 2025 - Fab 2 weeks staying at Villa Erase.Laureno & Muriel were super helpful setting up a WhatsApp group beforehand for any queries & providing details on finding the Villa easily & Laureno showing us around explaining everything we needed to know. The welcome pack is the best we’ve had & their home made olive oil was delicious especially on salads - yumThe Villa is in a fab location with views over the valley & mountains it is so peaceful with hardly any cars or people around. The night sky is superb to see stars & the Milky Way. The villa is just as described & as the photos. The kitchen has everything you need including a wide range of herbs, oils etc. The lounge & main bedroom are comfy the bed was so comfy we slept for almost 10 hours most nights. All rooms have air-con & the bathrooms have great rain showers with excellent hot water & pressure. The summer kitchen & plancha are fab we cooked lots of BBQ,s & fish really easily & having a fridge to chill the beers & sangria was great. The pool is just what’s needed to cool off after sunbathing on the beds the salt pool was a constant 25 degrees plus in early Sept.The villa is that great we hardly ventured out other than to restock supplies in Albox at the Mercadona supermarket & we visited the local monastery where the views are amazing.Highly recommend this villa it’s a gem in an amazing location

Relaxing villa in the quiet countryside

Nicely equipped villa in a peaceful area. The local representatives (Dennis and Jackie) were very helpful as we had a problem with the water which was fixed the same day. We had an unlucky problem with WIFI signal for a few days which affected the TV as well. Apart from that we had a lovely stay, the pool and summer kitchen were great and the kids enjoyed the table tennis as well. The track up to the villa is a bit rocky at the entrance and could do with some improvement, as car hire firms are very particular. However the road to the villa is very good considering the rural location. The bedrooms were comfortable with fans in every room ,although they were not needed much as there is a breeze most nights. We tried the local restaurant (which is strangely located behind the closest petrol station) and the food was excellent. The supermarkets in Albox were well stocked (Mercadona was the best one) and the small English supermarket on the main road in Albox also sold a range of products if you needed something specific. The weekly market in Albox is definitely worth a visit - Dennis and Jackie were also useful as the information in the villa was not in English.

A fabulous villa and pool!

The villa is everything that is advertised and we had a wonderful stay at Erase Una Vez. The villa has everything you could possibly want, including a welcome pack. There is a stock of herbs etc, as well as soaps, washing up liquids etc. The villa is off the beaten track, with some hairpin mountain roads, however the roads are fairly quiet. The pay-off is the privacy and the night sky is amazing - we could see the milky way, and had a fantastic show of a meteor shower over 4 nights during our stay. The pool is warm from 9 - 10 am, there is also an outdoor shower to wash the salt off. With there being 2 kitchens and 2 fridge-freezers, there was plenty of room for our food and drinks. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table outside. There is a pool table in the summer kitchen, but it probably doesn't have quite enough room around it, to play well. There is a Lidl in Albox, which is about a 40 minute drive. On the last few days of our stay, we went more inland and found a Mercadona in Puerto Lumbreras, which is easier to get to - the roads being so much better. Laureano was available if we had any problems, and helped make our stay very comfortable, a real pleasure to meet. A renovated monastery - Hospederia Santuario is a 10 minute drive, for a fabulous meal, call first though, to check when open. Bowleria in Albox for bowling and food was great too. Mojacar has beaches and is just over an hour away - the sea was fabulously warm.

An extremely peaceful location for a get-away-from-everyone holiday

The major plus point for us was the extreme peace and quiet we enjoyed and the chance to wake up undisturbed by anyone or anything. Silence is so rare in our lives and the chance to experience it for two weeks was magical. All you can see are the mountains, sky and surrounding fields full of almond trees. All you can hear is birdsong and bees humming. The villa is well equipped and I felt comfortable doing more cooking there than I normally would on holiday. Small touches such as an international adaptor, hairdryers and shopping bags were very useful, as was lots of English DVDs and Xbox games. There was a lot of international television but sadly nothing in English, however Netflix came to the rescue and worked well considering the remote location. As we went in mid-October we didn't use the pool room facilities, the plancha or the pool. The pool was delightful to look at but far too cold in October - we're not that hardy! so we'll have to go back to try it out. Although there is sleeping space for 8, I would say there is only room for 4 adults comfortably in the villa, unless you spend all your time outdoors. Again, not a problem in summer. It is worth emphasising the remoteness of the villa because with the beauty of the peace and silence comes a 25 minute drive before you reach civilisation. We loved being remote, but the practicalities of being so far away from everyone meant that we spent a lot more time driving than we wanted to (and we love exploring by car so that is saying something). The twisty mountain roads were also the cause of several bouts of travel sickness amongst us adults, particularly in the dark, so consider if this would cause you a problem. Be prepared for the last 200m to the villa which is an extremely steep, uneven track of stones so when hiring a car, make it something a bit more robust. However this is a jewel of an area with plenty to do and places to explore, including Grenada and Murcia. We would definitely return. Thanks particularly to the owners for their prompt contact, extremely helpful and friendly approach and fast return of our deposit.

Le propriétaire est très accueillant, clair et attentionné envers ses locataires. Concernant la villa, elle est spacieuse, propre et dispose d’une très belle piscine. Pour les amoureux de nature et de randonnée, c’est l’endroit idéal. En revanche, il est nécessaire de prévoir une voiture pour chaque déplacement : le commerce le plus proche se trouve à environ 27 minutes de route. La villa est vraiment isolée, loin de tout !

MAGNIFIQUE !

Nous qui aimons la randonnée et la nature, nous avons été servis ! L'endroit est magnifique : les amandiers étaient en fleurs : un réel plaisir pour les yeux ! Cela a été une agréable surprise pour nous de découvrir l'espace de la véranda qui donnait directement sur la cuisine et le living et qui n'apparaissait pas encore en photo sur le site. Grâce à cela, nous avons pu profiter de la vue de jour comme de nuit. Le petit poêle à bois était aussi très sympa pour une petite flambée après nos ballades. La villa est vraiment bien équipée et est super confortable malgré le lieu reculé. Elle est aussi décorée avec beaucoup de gout. Nous avons très bien été accueillis par les propriétaires qui nous ont donné de très bonnes adresses, Merci à Laureano et Muriel pour leur disponibilité. Nous espérons revenir un jour prochain. Pour les amoureux de la nature et de belles balades, nous recommandons vivement !

Fantastic property if you love tranquility - amazing hosts!!

This house in the almond tree covered hills of Andalusia is a fantastic choice for everyone who loves nature, starry nights, remoteness and quietness. The house is well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. A big, clean and deep (at one side) pool offers a refreshing break from the Southern sun. The almonds were ripe, so we ate fresh ones every day. Also the house is offering a herbs garden which was a welcomed add-on to our fresh salads. The house itself offers everything we needed, including two bathrooms and one additional bathroom down by the pool! Enough towels for the three of us were provided, although we brought our own. The washing machine works well. The best was the amazingly clear nights with unpolluted views of the MilkyWay and Andromeda galaxy (we stayed in August). For everyone who is passionate about dark skies - this house is fantastic. At ~3000ft/1000m above sea level, the valley dust was well below us offering pristine views. Great place for astro-photography. And the hosts are amazing, too - great communication, superior customer support coming over to fix a minor issue we had with no hesitation. Even a welcome package and some drinks to get started with the vacation waited for us on arrival. And for the departure, at 5a.m. the host came by personally to say good-by! Very kind and sooo much appreciated! Communication by whatsapp throughout the stay worked very well. The pool is serviced two times the week and was advised in advance again by Whatsapp. Some of the best hosts we've had so far (and we are experiences vacation home renters). Oh, by the way - the beds are comfy (even for tall people) - and the master bed room has a funky colored blinking light - which we found out by accident on the last day - just try it - it's funny! Overall, a very pleasant experience, and a big recommendation from us. Thanks so much for everything!

Petit paradis ensoleillé, perdu dans les montagnes

Bien accueillis, nous avons été guidés vers la villa, très isolée. On se sent seul au monde au milieu des amandiers. Beaucoup de soleil. La villa est très bien équipée et spacieuse. La piscine est bien entretenue (visite du pisciniste durant notre séjour). À proximité, nous avons visité Vélez Rubio et Vélez Blanco et la réserve naturelle « Sierra María-Los Vélez », ou on peut faire de jolies balades. Pour une journée à la mer, nous avons choisi le village de Las Negras, au milieu du « Cabo de Gata ». Le paysage est magnifique avec des criques naturelles. Seul petit bémol du séjour : en montagne, beaucoup de vent qui peut être frais, surtout en soirée et la nuit (fin septembre). Superbes vacances :-)

Very enjoyable - stunning area and villa - limited places to eat on an evening

Fantastic 'well stocked' (as in cutlery/crockery/vinegars/spices etc etc) family villa (although there was only two of us - we love space to ourselves) - great place for cooking and eating outdoors. Pool area is amazing - views are spectacular and because surrounding villas are unoccupied we found the privacy - just the way we like it. Only down side for us as a couple - we choose not to cook for ourselves on holiday - tend to have jaunt out somewhere for a coffee - then back for lunch and relax (again) so found choices of where to eat on an evening (locally) very limited - either restaurant at the garage where food was OK and people very friendly - and patient with our attempts at Spanish with 'Google' - only other place was the nearby monastery just up the hill from the Villa - again food was OK - didn't find it outstanding as others had seemed to but again very friendly (menu only in Spanish - translation thanks again to Google) - We enjoyed the villa, had a lovely welcome from Mary who we by chance met up with at the garage restaurant on the Friday (festival night) and had a wonderful night with her and Carl enjoying their translations of locals conversations. Would I go back - YES - one thing to watch out for if you arrive on a Sunday afternoon there are NO supermarkets open in Albox to do your shopping - so shop a bit nearer to Almeria where there are some open. Otherwise it means a trip out the next day - which we usually like to keep as a total chill day. Overall a lovely relaxing place, and thanks to the owners there is nothing you will be short of. They have made a lovely haven with their care and love.

Muriel et Laureano ont toujours été à notre écoute, ont répondu à nos attentes et ont été de très bons conseils. On tient d'ailleurs à les remercier pour ce suivi, cette organisation et cet accueil . Nous étions 4 adultes et 4 enfants. La villa est très bien et on a bien profité de la piscine. Le côté cuisine d'été est vraiment super, on faisait la cuisine (plancha professionnelle) et on y mangeait midi et soir. Les enfants (ainsi que les adultes) ont pu profiter des jeux mis à leur disposition (console, yam's, ping-pong, billard.....etc) La villa se situe dans la montagne au milieu des amandiers, la vue est magnifique. Si vous recherchez de la tranquillité, je vous conseille vivement de louer cette maison.

Wonderful

Totally relaxing stay. The beautiful view of the hills dotted with almond trees combined with no traffic or crowds makes this villa location perfect for anyone looking to chill, At night, the view of the milky way and the orange mars is a wonder to see especially those that have too much light pollution at home. I even spotted Andromeda through my binoculars. The pool is large and cool perfect for a dip when the sun is too hot. The recent addition of the pergola with a screen was a great idea as this is a better shield from the sun than the parasols. There is no air conditioning in the house with fans to keep you cool. We found that even in mid August we didn't have the fans switched on all the time as the temperature inside the house was fine. So, if you're looking for a completely relaxing holiday and savour that feeling of nothing to do apart from chilling out - this one is for you.
