Vacation Rental Description
ALDEA DEL COTO is a luxury development which benefits from well-maintained communal gardens, a total of four swimming pools (two of which are for children), security gates, secure underground parking, and a park with childrens play area. The complex is located approximately 800m from the shopping, restaurants, bars and the spectacular fine sand beach of Playa La Barrosa. This beach is considered amongst the best in Andalucia, and has been awarded Blue Flag status every year.
This stunning apartment is situated on the top floor of a two-storey block, and enjoys spectacular views over the landscaped gardens, swimming pools and pine forest. The well-furnished lounge/diner leads directly out onto the south-facing balcony, from where you can enjoy the view as well as some al fresco dining.
Tastefully furnished throughout in contemporary style, this apartment offers two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds. Both bedrooms are equipped with fitted wardrobes, fans and portable electric heaters, and there are air-conditioning units in the lounge and main bedroom. For your added security, there is a wall safe in the main bedroom. There is also a cot and chairbed available, giving sleeping capacity for five plus an infant.
The fully-fitted kitchen is equipped with built-in oven and ceramic hob, large fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave as well as all necessary kitchenware. The lounge/diner has a large comfortable L-shaped sofa, where you can relax and watch TV (satellite with UK channels), DVD or listen to your favourite music on the CD/radio. The dining table is extendable and seats six people, and there is ample storage space in cabinets for your personal belongings. The modern bathroom boasts a full bath with shower, bidet and WC. A hairdryer is available for guests' convenience. There are also beach chairs, beachmats, bodyboards and a small barbecue on the balcony for the use of guests.
There is a small commercial centre by the Aldea del Coto complex where you can find two tapas bars/restaurants, internet cafe bar, hairdresser, newsagent, small grocery store, surf shop, DVD and video hire shop. Otherwise you are within about 10 minutes walk of the best choice of bars, restaurants and shopping located down by the beach area.
This apartment makes an ideal base for exploring the many attractions of Andalucia. The beautiful city of Seville is within easy reach, as is Jerez, the home of sherry. Cadiz, which claims to be the oldest city in Europe is fascinating, and you can even take the 30 minute hydrofoil trip to Morocco.
The area is also rich in history, and a visit to the Roman ruins at Baelo Claudia is very rewarding. Also the famous Cape Trafalgar is within a very short drive.
Each year there are many festivals to enjoy in the Cadiz area, chief of which is probably the Carnaval which takes place at the start of Lent, usually February. This is an excellent time to visit the area, and people come from all over Spain to enjoy the party. Likewise the Easter processions in all the Andalucian towns are spectacular. And of course every town has its own feria, which means a week of celebration, drinking the local sherry and generally having a good time. Chiclana’s feria is normally held around the feast of San Antonio (13 June). However, by far the biggest feria takes place in Seville, normally two weeks after Easter
