Casa Lorca is a lovely beachfront villa looking out onto the Mediterranean. The beach is wide and sandy and the villa is in a small and exclusive development located right on it. Perfect for relaxing a family holiday. Just step out of the pool onto the beach....

Casa Lorca was made for families. Its large and quiet communal pool (plus toddlers pool) is one hundred metres from your door and has direct private access onto Vera Playa beach. The beach itself is simply too big to ever get crowded. For example the picture below of the lifeguard was taken in June. Our marble-floored 'home from home' is air-conditioned and comfortable. Access is easy from the airports at Almeria, Murcia and Alicante.

Perhaps our best recommendation is that Casa Lorca is fully booked each season right through from Easter to October.

The layout of the house lends itself well to small or large parties. The furnishings are a mix of good quality new and antique plus it has CD and DVD players and Satellite TV with multi-channel UK TV and Radio. There are five good-sized comfortable bedrooms and four bathrooms three of which have baths and showers and the fourth has a huge walk-in shower.

The kitchen is well equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, hob and all you need to look after a family. There is a large barbecue outside for dining alfresco on the terrace or in the garden which is planted with palms and colourful plants plus ones such as jasmine, rosemary and lavender for scent on the evening air.

If you get fed up with barbecuing for the tribe there is Antonio's friendly and inexpensive familiy-run beach restaurant just a couple of hundred metres along the sand which does everything from ice creams and burgers to great seafood and wine and is open all day and evening in the summer. Although there are plenty of other good places to eat we often don't trouble going any further. Just relax. That's what we made Casa Lorca for.

Minutes away is the fishing village of Villaricos which has bar/restaurants overlooking its tiny twin harbours. Beyond that the quiet country road follows the sea past coves and small beaches. Going the other way is the port of Garrucha with excellent seafood restaurants around the harbour. Then there is the small resort of Mojacar with its many shops, beach bars and restaurants. Above it lies the old white hilltop town of Mojacar Pueblo which is a warren of streets to explore with stunning views across the sea and the surrounding countryside.

Beyond lies the Cabo de Gata National Park with its own coves and hidden places whilst inland lie the Sierra Cabrera mountains and Cortijo Grande valley with sleepy little towns and village dotted around quiet roads and tracks.

But peace and quiet does not mean boring. There are good restaurants, tennis, riding, walking, diving, and fishing all to be enjoyed in the area. For golfers there are four excellent courses within five to fifteen minutes drive of Casa Lorca.

For children there is a waterpark minutes away and the famous Hollywood Theme Park out in the countryside which is made from the film sets left over from when classics such as the Clint Eastwood 'Spaghetti Westerns' were filmed in the sun-bleached landscapes of this part of Spain. They have cowboy shoot-outs daily (dads find it irresistible).

The village and town markets provide lots of good fresh produce, colour and fun while for basic family supplies there are good shops and supermarkets minutes away. They also all have their own fiestas. If you hear of one go to it. The whole place, old and young alike, will be partying until nearly dawn.

To help to get the best out of your holiday we provide our guests with information packs which tell you what there is to see and do and recommended restaurants so you don't miss out on a good place because you don't know the area.


The pool leads straight onto the beach and if you wish to...	....you can stroll down it and wake the lifeguard up.

Owner's Profile - Brian and Anne Sharman

About Us and Casa Lorca
Brian and Anne Sharman have owned Casa Lorca since it was built in 2003. Brian is a barrister and Anne is a teacher. We live in Dorset.

We bought Casa Lorca as a holiday home and to rent out. With both uses in mind, and having gone on villa holidays over the years when the children were growing up, we knew the pluses and minuses to..
See the owner's full profile here

Beach, Fishing, Golf, Gym, Horse Riding, Night Club, Restaurant, Sailing, Shopping, Tennis, Theme Park, Water Sports and Rental

We provide our visitors with an information sheet which has details of places to go, things to do and restaurants to try which you might not otherwise find - the worst thing on holiday is to come across a good place to eat on the last night of your stay.

Within fifteen minutes of Casa Lorca you can enjoy boating, scuba-diving, a golf driving range, tennis, a gym, golfing, horse riding or take the kids to a water park. There's a little shop in the village up the road where you can buy flippers and snorkels or a rod and line if you want to fish off the beach - lots of local people do so there must be something out there to catch. You'll also see posters for the bullfights but only go if you have the stomach for it.

Or you can just stroll along the beach which runs for several kilometres all the way down to the port of Garrucha and then reward yourself with lunch in one of the fish restaurants on the quay....

Dishwasher, Air Conditioning, Cable or Satellite Television, Cleaning Service, Cooking Utensils, DVD Player, Heating, Kitchen, Linen Service, Open Fire, Parking, Refrigerator, Shared Pool, Stereo, TV, Washing Machine

Casa Lorca is equipped for up to ten people. The kitchen has all you need in terms of pots and pans etc for catering for up to that number. There is a large supermarket literally two minutes away by car as well as local markets nearby with a huge array of fresh produce.

There are three double and four single beds in the five bedroom. Cots, hi-chairs and stair gates are available for tiny visitors. The location is safe for children as there is virtually no traffic and access to the pool and beach is by electric gates so they cannot wander away without you noticing.

If you don't want to cook just 200 metres along on the beach is Antonio's restaurant which opens all summer. It does everything from ice creams and burgers for kids to good food for parents. It's a scruffy, sometimes chaotic and always friendly place. If you want their paella you have to order in advance and book for Sunday lunch as all the locals go there.
