Luxury Private Villa with private swimming pool, courtyard and gardens.

This luxury Villa is ideally suited for families and located close to fantastic sandy beaches (part of the protected nature reserve) and private with beautiful views over the Nuevo Portil Golf Course. The Villa has been recently decorated with new shower rooms downstairs and furnished with all mod cons to make your holiday as relaxing as possible.

Ground Floor
There are three bedrooms on the ground floor; one bedroom with twin beds and the front bedroom with three single beds and the Guest Wing with a Queen bed, a single bed and an ensuite bathroom. New shower units and cubicles have just been added (June 2021) to the bathrooms on the ground floor. All bedrooms have air-con, fans, a storage heater for the winter, wardrobes (hangers) etc. Towels are provided for the bathrooms. A portable cot can be provided for infants - please let us know if this is required to thank you.

The ground floor also consists of a modern kitchen, open plan dining/living room and separate WC with access from the kitchen to the garden at the back and lavadora (an area to hang clothes).

First Floor
The luxury master bedroom is located on the first floor with an ensuite marble bathroom ( bath and shower) and a very large terrace with spectacular (private) views over the golf course. This is a great place for breakfast as the sun rises over the golf course. There is a table here that seats six and two sun loungers/ deckchairs.

Gardens and Courtyards
You could spend your vacation simply relaxing by the private pool with its own shower and BBQ or dining in the private courtyard. There is a mosaic table by the BBQ which seats four, deckchairs and sun loungers and a table in the courtyard which seats a minimum of eight and is covered with a parasol. Next to the BBQ are herbs and two lemon trees and you are welcome to help yourself to these for your cooking.

The pool is maintained regularly to a very high standard and cleaned before your visit. In order for you to enjoy your holiday uninterrupted, we generally do not ask our maintenance team to visit during your stay if it is for less than seven days. There are sprinklers in the garden which operate at night ( a few guests have been caught out :)).

If you are feeling adventurous the beaches are beautiful and just 5 mins walk away - definitely recommended if you are a sun-lover or for a stroll in the early evening. A boardwalk runs along the beach which gives a great view of the Flecha and the Marina at nearby El Rompido. The Nuevo Portil Golf Hotel along the way is a great place for a drink in the evening if you can tear yourself away from the Villa. Alternatively, you can try the bars at the El Rompido lighthouse and sit outside watching the stunning sunsets. Tapas in the square under the stars (by the church) starts around 8 pm and we recommend Donna Gamba for some lovely food.
We have further information on the many activities available in the area in the Villa and there is a tourist information office located in Punta Umbria nearby.

It is a beautiful area throughout the year whether you visit to see the festivals at Semana Santa or take advantage of the beaches and attractions during the peak season ( July, August, early September ). If you play golf there are some great courses in the area including Nuevo Portil Golf. We often have guests staying just to play on these courses.
We have a discount if you would like to book for two weeks or more (except July and August).
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great villa in a great location
The villa had all the facilities we required. Lovely pool, comfy beds and plenty of space for everyone. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The villa is well situated and you can walk to beaches and restuarants but a car is ideally needed for shopping and to explore the area. The only thing to mention is the villa would benefit from a few more sunbeds or softer seating in the pool area as the current ones are short in number and getting a little tired. But it was a wonderful holiday and fully recommended. Thank you for letting us stay.

Great relaxing holiday
Lovely villa in a lovely quite setting for a relaxing holiday, would recommend any visitor's have use of a car as could feel a little isolated without any transport. We do not tend to return to places generally but no reasons not to return here if relaxing break required. Thanks to all involved with the villa rental.

Great stay at El Portil
We had a great stay at Sarah´s house. The apartment is very well organized, and has a great potential with plenty of rooms to host a big family! We enjoyed having our own pool, what was a great feature of the apartment. The area is beautiful and with a very well preserved surroundings. There are enough services, supermarkets, bars and restaurants, but still it feels as a natural reserve. We enjoyed doing day trips to Sevilla and the Doñana Natural Park. Sarah was a very good host and her team on site (Carol) was incredibly responsive to support us with our requests. Overall an amazing family vacation! We´ll be back! Jose

Beautiful property in an amazing location.
We were very impressed with the property. The weather was great and we ate in the courtyard most evenings. The Villa had everything we needed and we found it very clean, comfortable and extremely well maintained. The pool looked new and very clean and we used it many times despite the time of the year. We made several trips to see the Semana Santa processions in Huelva which were fascinating. We followed many of the host’s recommendations which were great! A fantastic holiday! We will be booking for the autumn half term too.

Wonderful villa and great location
Everything was perfect and great, however due to the lack of proper contracted maintenance, the pool was unworkable to take a bath most of the days ( green water and high turbidity)

Casa con potencial pero muy dejada
La casa tiene mucho potencial, pero estaba muy sucia; una suciedad acumulada de hace mucho tiempo (cubertería y cubertero, horno, cajones de la cocina, sartenes inutilizables, barbacoa muy sucia…). Los somieres de las camas, rotos en varios cuartos. El interior de los armarios con enseres de la propiedad (edredones, mantas, etc) pero todo tirado y muy dejado. Los alrededores de la piscina estaban llenos de colillas y la red de limpieza rota, con lo cual en los 5 días no pudimos limpiar la piscina .

More attention to the detail
We where a party of 2 mature couples, skipping hotels for COVID reasons. The house is as advertised. Maybe it has some excess of furniture, special in one bedroom, where an extra bed limits normal use, and in the living room, where also it lacks indirect lighting. But nothing really annoying. The kitchen is also equipped for the number of guests it advertises. But when you rent and house like this for the price we have payed, you don’t expect to have to run to a supermarket to buy detergents, trash bags and stuff like that. At least, it was the first time It happened to me. The swimming pool was not properly clean on arrival and it was no recent leaves. It damages your first impression right away. And, very unusual nowadays, no satellite TV. So, unless you want to stick to the full range of Spanish TV all-doubled Channels, be prepared to use what looks like a 1990’s CD + VHS combo, and see some movies. Moving to the 21st century on the entertainment side is urgently needed. House internet worked well all the time. The owner representative was very helpful and diligent. In summary: For what you pay, you should have more. The underscores will not damage your vacation, but some basic investment and maintenance is needed to bring this nice house up to a standard matching the price.
