Nice, clean and spacey duplex. The rooftop terrace completes the already perfect picture!
The duplex is located in an urbanization at the edge of Garrucha. Easy to reach (by car) and just a 10 minutes walk from a lovely beach. The house itself is equipped with all facilities we need on a holiday, like an oven, microwave and a modern coffee machine (Dolce Gusto). The beds were not perfect but good, but I actually never had really good beds in a holiday home. We did have to search for the extra linen (as we needed the spare bed for a third child).
What really amazed us was the rooftop terrace. It was recently covered with an artificial grass turf and this gives the terrace a luxurious look. I think most of the time we spent at the house was on the terrace, as it was cool in the morning and, provided you make sure there is enough shade, it was relaxing to spend siestas on the roof. Our evenings ended on the terrace, again, enjoying some nice wines.
We did not make use of the BBQ but it was there if you needed it.
The urbanization boasts two swimming pools, both with a life guard. Did not make use of it myself, but the kids really enjoyed it. The pools are fenced so no unwelcome visitors may enter and in addition it can keep out smaller children as the gate is only opening with an magnetic key.
The beach, as mentioned before on a walking distance, is a good one. I have visited many a beach in my life and this one I would recommend. Stretching for several miles and wide enough it was never really crowded. Some nice scenery with mountains left and right of the beach, nice waves provided some action if you want to swim. Furthermore there is a nice boulevard with more than enough palm trees to bring that real summer holiday feeling, in addition to the artificial (flat) 'dunes', also with grouped palm trees.
Supermarkets are only a couple minutes drive (Mercadona) and if you need just a couple of items you can also visit the small grocery store next to the urbanization. Can also recommend the Churrios stand at the main road near the urbanization if you want some really good (and cheap!) churrios.
There are enough places to visit in the region if you don't mind a good drive. We visited, among others, Murcia, a regional park with hiking routes in the Murcia area, a waterfall, Cartagena and Almeria. And there is more to discover yet, so James and Sharon, we might be back to enjoy another holiday in your great Casa Blanca! Thanks!
