El Olivo (The Olive Tree), Colonial Style Villa. Private Pool In Large Garden

Four bedroom villa with a large garden with pines and private pool. Powerful DSL internet WIFI. Luxuriously furnished in colonial style. Enjoy the jacuzzi with views over the pines trees. BBQ and nice wooden cabin. Charming and peaceful area within walking distance to beaches, marina, supermarkets, tapas bars and restaurants. Besides Natural Park Bahia de Cadiz with nice views of the pine forest and the wet lands, you may find flamingos in your morning walk to the bakery. 10 minutes drives to golf course. There are also many sports facilities nearby: Public sport center, horses. In the old village of Sancti Petri (3,4km) there are sailing, canoeing, wind-surfing facilities and a marina. Several riding centers offer courses or walks in the country or on the beach. El Olivo is placed in a calm area, not far from the beaches, the supermarkets, bars and restaurants, the natural park and the marina (walking distance), the bus stop is just opposite the house and several golf courses, riding centers, hotels,

El Olivo
Overall this is a beautiful house and garden in a fabulous location close to a natural park (great for bird watching) and La Barrosa beach...both within walking or safe cycling distance. Loads of great cafes and restaurants. Some amenities in the house need attention eg new toaster required, unable to use jacuzzi bath, BbQs need attention. However issues were addressed promptly when we raised these with Paco and Julia and we would all love to come back next year if the property is available.

Stay at Villa Los Olivos.
Clean and comfortable villa very well equipped. Lovely private pool with excellent outside space for dogs. Very helpful staff. No A/C which was not a problem during our spring stay but in summer this can be an issue. Also insect bites in garden is an issue so ensure you have insect repellent.

El Olivo
If you are thinking of staying in this area, you will not find anywhere better than El Olivo. Large, comfortable, house in a great location. The house has a "lived in" feel. Maybe the kitchen (no oven) and bathroom are a little dated, but everything worked, and plenty of hot water. 3 large bedrooms with comfy beds. Plenty of room to lose yourself. The main selling point, for us, was the garden and pool. We lived out there. Totally contained, once the front gate was shut, we were in our own little piece of paradise. Big supermarkets (Mercadona and Lidl) 5 minute drive. Local shop (for bread) 5 minutes on the bike. Beach 10 minute stroll. Nature reserve for flamingo hunting 10 minute walk. Both Julia and her house keeper Marco were brilliant with us. What a shame our holiday is over. Hopefully we will return.

Lovely house and garden for a relaxing holiday
We stayed at El Olivo with family and friends for two weeks in August, four adults and four children altogether. We were a little concerned before our holiday as some recent reviews had not been good, but we found everything to be pretty much as we hoped. The house is spacious and decorated in traditional style, with lots of character. There are actually only three bedrooms, not four, but we moved one of the beds from the children’s room into the study for our oldest teenager, so everyone was happy. The wifi was ok, sometimes a little slow but not really a problem. The garden is beautiful, and huge, lots of space for children to play; we enjoyed treasure hunts and hide and seek among the trees. We enjoyed lunches cooked on the outdoor barbecue and eaten at the stone table in the shade of the trees. The hammock was particularly popular, a perfect place to relax. The pool is large enough and was a big hit with the children, and lovely to cool off in the heat of August. We used the bikes to get around locally, they were perfectly adequate and there are cycle lanes on all the local roads. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a 20 minute walk. Plenty of supermarkets to choose from within a short drive. Nice beaches locally, with watersports at Playa de Sancti Petri. We had a few minor niggles about the house but honestly nothing worth complaining about. The kitchen could do with updating and a few more utensils, but it was adequate for our needs. The master bedroom and ensuite are lovely, but we found the best way to shower without soaking the floor was to sit on the ledge in the bath holding the shower. Not a problem once we got used to it! Lots of wardrobe and drawer space for your belongings, plenty of towels and clean sheets provided. Julia was very helpful and replied quickly when we had questions. The housekeeper Marco and his family were also on hand although we only saw them a couple of times. Overall we had a lovely stay at El Olivo and would recommend it for a relaxing holiday. Thank you Julia.

Great villa in a fantastic location
We had a wonderful holiday in Julia and Paco's house. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 children and there was enough space for us all to do our own thing if we wanted. The garden is huge and partly shaded, and the pool is it's crowning glory. I thought the house itself was lovely: quirky and loads of interesting bits to it. It was also very clean and comfortable - no sign of the grease, dust or detritus mentioned in other reviews. Given the hot weather we did spend most of our time outdoors. The wide sandy beach is a 15min walk away, as are nice bars and restaurants. There were a few mosquitoes about, but Julia forewarned us of this when she met us, so we were well armed by the time evening fell. Just one small thing - we were a bit short of some cutlery and glasses and found ourselves constantly fishing forks out of the diswasher between meals! This in no way detracted from the fantastic stay we had in El Olivio and I would definitely return. It is a charming house in a very unspoilt and beautiful part of Spain

Very poorly presented property.
First impressions - oh my goodness this doesn’t look like the photos on the website! Bitterly disappointed! Where to start ? Garden looked like it’s being used as a builders dumping ground, an old bath, car batteries, an old wheelbarrow, pallets, rusty tools! All in full view of our outside eating area. Bikes unusable, rusty chains and handlebars, they looked as though they’d been left outside for months! Broken ones inside the shed! Two usable sun loungers, the others were broken and dumped either inside the wooden shed or by the side or it! The patio area was very uneven and not at all suitable for anyone unsure of their footing. The pool hadn’t been cleaned, algae on the bottom and around the sides, unusable for 2 days! The house itself - totally neglected! All floors swept and mopped, all crockery, utensils, put through the dishwasher before we could use anything. That was our first day! Obviously not prepared for our stay apart from the beds made up and bathrooms/ toilets cleaned. There was a rather large red piece of “furniture” in the lounge area, when we checked it out, it was an old fridge, dirty and mouldy inside! Each time we used the showers, we had to mop the floors, no matter how careful we were. This property is ideally situated for a holiday in this lovely area of Spain, the beach at La Barrossa is fabulous, only 15mins. stroll, plenty of supermarkets, bars and restaurants within walking distance, but, unless it’s had a complete refurb since we were there, don’t even consider staying here. I notice that another reviewer has commented on the fact that the property is in need of some TLC, Owners obviously haven’t acted on it ! We have holidayed many times with Owners Direct/ HomeAway, in various countries, and I can honestly say that this is the worst property we’ve had the misfortune to stay in! Fortunately, we made the best of it, and had a lovely holiday.

Very dissapointed!
The property was not up to standard, it was dirty we had to clean all the walls and beddings on arrival as they had loads of cacoons and spider webs, the outside also needs lots of TLC the grass not maintained and infested with mosquitos and the pool had green mould we also had to clean, this is just a quick summary there were loads more things i could write but ill leave it here, i emailed the owner explaining with pics and im yet to receive an apology or an offer of a refund!!! so as u may see instead of a relaxing holiday we had to clean the property ourselves!!!

Beautiful place in a perfect position, wonderful area, very relaxing holiday.
The villa is huge, the garden was very safe for our dogs and big enough for them to run round, the pool is lovely and very clean, but a bit too cold for us so we didn't use it much. The antique furniture and all the ornaments are amazing. The villa was mostly very clean apart from a couple of small niggles, we had to clean the fridge out before putting our stuff in it and there was a pan in the cupboard that had been put away unwashed, but we ran everything through the efficient dishwasher, no problema :-) Plenty of crockery, pots and pans and kitchen utensils but I missed having a jug to make salmorejo in and we could have done with some more serving and salad bowls. The internet was good and fast. Marco and his family are very pleasant and helpful, the one problem we had with the pool was sorted out quickly. It was lovely seeing Marco's young son go from being scared of our two big dogs to playing with them. The area is fantastic, we loved Chiclana, the Mercado de los Abastos is worth a daily visit for fish and veg. Cadiz is stunning, as is Vejer and around. Our UK, right hand drive car was a source of amusement to many and it was brilliant being in a place that, although touristy, not too much so and gave me a chance to practice my Spanish. The not so good - the beds creak, the springs have gone in the single beds and the memory foam double bed wasn't comfortable. The kitchen could do with some updating, the plate racks are greasy and veneer peeling off, the sink doesn't fit properly, nor does the electric hob. The oven, although it was clean inside and works well, looks awful with cooked on grease in between the glass on the door door. We looked up at the ceiling lights in the kitchen and there was a collection of dead bugs behind the glass. The jacuzzi works well but the jets are dirty inside. The veranda is lovely but the paving under the table is very uneven and impossible to keep clean. The villa is perfectly positioned, a 10 minute drive to Chiclana, 10 minute walk to the nearest bars, restaurants and the beautiful beach and 20 minutes to a strip with plenty of choice to eat and drink. If you have a meal here make sure you go to the Sabor a Mar, fantastic food! We did consider returning but the uncomfortable beds put us off. I wouldn't consider this a luxury villa, with a bit of updating and love and care it could be, but not as it is. Thanks, Julia, for letting us stay. Your place is lovely, just it could be better with some care.

Wonderful garden and very charming house
This is a very special place we liked very much. We had cold weather with much rain, so it was a little clam and musty but we had the fire place running that worked very well - and even enjoyed the cold pool nevertheless. Spacious and so much room, you won’t find that anymore with new premises near beaches, city center and so on.

La casa está muy bien equipada, no le falta detalle.Es muy bonita y está muy bien decorada.La cocina tiene de todo y los electrodomésticos están nuevos.Lo mejor sin duda es el jardín ,muy amplio y perfecto si vas con mascota.Esta cerca de la playa y restaurantes, a un paseo andando. De poner alguna pega es que había algunos cacharros viejos que se debería tirar y revisar las bicicletas y amacas que están viejas y rotas.Marcos muy atento.Totalmente recomendable.Volveria sin dudarlo.

NO RECOMENDABLE, MALA EXPERIENCIA
Estuve en el puente del trabajo y la experiencia no fue muy grata. La casa presenta un estado de abandono importante, gran olor a humedad que se impregna en toda la ropa y que no anima a estar en la casa, entrar "echa para atrás", literalmente. No recomendable hasta solucionen este grave problema, no debería ofertarse para el disfrute vacacional , francamente. El jardín con muchos trastos de por medio, lástima ver tanta bici en un estado tan lamentable, ya lo sabíamos, pero nos sorprendió verlas, da muy mala imagen antes de entrar a la casa. La cocina necesita una actualización en utensilios basicos de cocina, da un poco de grima cocinar con ellos. La atención del matrimonio que cuida la casa correcta, no son los dueños, que viven fuera. Una lástima, ya que de estar en condiciones sería una casa muy a disfrutar. Espero que los próximos inquilinos se encuentren este problema solucionado. No volveremos, por si acaso.

Una estancia muy agradable en la casa.
Todo bien de la estancia en El Olivo. Ninguna pega. Facilidades para llegar y para salir de la vivienda. El jardín es sin duda lo mejor: una delicia. Zona muy tranquila, y a la vez cerca de tiendas, restaurantes, etc. Para ser un 10, le faltaría únicamente dar algún repaso a algunos elementos del mobiliario, que muchas veces los ocupantes no tratan bien del todo, y a las bicicletas que están un poco abandonadas. La primera opción sin duda, pensando en volver a Sancti Petri.
