Casa Benedict Villas and apartments for Holiday rental near Turre (Mojácar, Almeria) Owner Login

The location of Casa Benedict is ideal. Some people may class it as isolated but it's only a 20 min stroll to Turre the local village/town and a 6 min drive to the lovely sea front towns of Garrucha and Vera Playa. My partner and I stayed for 4 weeks Dec/Jan and it was cold at night but daytime was a lovely temperature of 19 degrees. Although we found it a bit chilly at night, the loss of that warmth was more than made up for by the warmth, welcome and helpfulness of Ian and Jan the owners. They made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make sure we were as warm as could be. The introduction to fish and chip night on Fridays at the local camping restaurant is not to be missed as to is the Sunday Carvery. One has to admire the work and effort these two put into maintaining and nurturing their establishment, it's been a picture of paint brushes and weeding tools but the end product appears to be worth it. We had the Alicia apartment where I fell in love with the log burner....heaven on chilly evenings. Obviously at this time of year it was questionable as to using the pool but my partner being the adventurous type found it very inviting. The main English channels on the Sky TV were another bonus but in the summer months I would imagine that would be the last thing you would want for pastime. There is plenty for children to do at the Casa with their own playground away from the relaxing area but within full view of parents, games and jig saw puzzles are plentiful. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to stay at Casa Benedict and we hope your stay will be as pleasant as ours was and will be when we return next year.

La tranquilidad de la ubicación y la excelente relación con Ian( anfitrión de la casa). Mejoraría la señalización de la casa desde la carretera. Respuesta de Casa Benedict Muchas gracias por la revisión y disfrutamos que su familia se quede con nosotros. Xavier te deseo buena suerte con tu producción musical y espero que consigas un contrato. Inseguro sobre el comentario de la señalización, ya que tenemos un letrero grande situado en la carretera principal que apunta a Casa Benedict, en realidad nos tomó 10 años obtener el permiso.

La estancia fue perfecta! El lugar es maravilloso, un sitio tranquilo, pero a muy poquitos kilómetros de la playa. Turre, Mojácar y Garrucha están muy cerca. Nosotros estuvimos en Casa Alicia. La casa es sencilla pero con todo lo necesario, limpia, bien distribuida, con dos habitaciones y un salón amplio y una terraza estupenda. La cocina totalmente equipada, con horno, microondas y lavadora. La piscina es una gozada, con sus tumbonas! Y tiene una zona con una barbacoa de carbón y otra de gas, ideal para preparar una cena al fresco. Los dueños son encantadores, no ponen problemas a nada y siempre están dispuestos para lo que necesites. Además son muy discretos.

Rien à redire sur la prestation, la description correspondait en tout point. Ian et Jan sont très sympathiques, disponibles pour leurs locataires et discrets. Le plus à apporter : quelques renseignements touristiques comme les jours de marché aux alentours, les sites à visiter dans la région, les restaurants... seraient les bienvenus Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille.

Casa benedict is a lovely property set in lovely gardens in an out of town location. The villas are clean and well equipped with all the mod cons. There is plenty of external space in a quiet picturesque environment to enjoy the long warm evenings and beautiful white sand beaches just a 5 min drive away to play during the day. The pool is clean and well kept too. The nearest supermarket is only a couple of mins drive away and has a decent selection of provisions . The owners are great fun and happy to help if you have any requests. Overall a fabulous few days holiday that I would recommend to anyone! Thanks guys!

We chose this property because it offered a pool right outside our door in a safe environment. My daughter and her family were on holiday with us but they stayed in the neighbouring property Casa Helena. This resulted in us being very close but giving us all a degree of privacy so that we didn't fall over ourselves. It also meant that we could look after the grandchildren sometimes - basically they could come over to us whenever they wanted. We always looked forward to our early morning visits from the youngest, a two year old girl and it gave her parents a few minutes to get sorted for the day. The pool played a very important part of this holiday. My seven year old Grandson came on holiday a non-swimmer and has come home a competent swimmer due to the opportunity to get in the pool with his Mum, Dad, Granddad and another guest and holiday maker from Dijon in France all helping him to master the life skill of swimming. It was like an intensive swimming course in the sun, based on fun, games, play and some coaching from his family and a nice family from France whom we became friends with. Our young granddaughter also gained so much confidence in the water because of this safe environment that we were able to create. There are some great beaches within 7km of the Casa Alicia so you will need a car for this holiday. The kids were happy on the beach for 2 -3 hours a day but then both of them wanted to get back to the holiday homes and that pool, they loved it. My favorite place to visit locally is Mojacar Pueblo a beautiful Moorish town high up on the mountain which has good road connection and then a lift to take you up the the high parts of the Pueblo. This is where we found an excellent restaurant called Calima. See trip advisor for more info on this, I would gladly eat there every day, just my sort of food, a fusion of Spanish and middle eastern. There are many great restaurants in the nearby resorts of Garrucha, Mojacar Playa and the Pueblo and Puerto Rey. The nearest supermarket with a car park is Lidl in Garrucha and there is also a Mercadona where you can buy fresh fish to barbecue back at base. There is a charcoal and gas barbecue, both are excellent. However in the current tinderbox weather conditions the charcoal bar b is out of bounds for safety reasons. The casa is comfortable and is typical holiday accommodation. There is air con if you want to use it but you will use up your electricity cards at a fast rate.

We enjoyed our 2 month stay over winter in Alicia ; it is a well equipped villa , with comfortable beds and a nice log fire for winter nights ; It is very good for dogs /dog walks and a short walk to the town of Turre where everything is available .. All other places/beaches/bars/restaurants easily accessible by car ; There are things to do to suit everyone ( except noisy nightlife !) Ian & Jan are very friendly and helpful and always on hand ; we enjoyed it so much that we have booked again..

Once again another super stay at Casa Benedict (Alicia). I cannot praise this accommodation enough. Ian and Jan are excellent hosts and always on hand if you need anything or advice. I fully recommend Casa Benedict, don't even hesitate. Spotlessy clean very well maintained with everything to hand.

We have been regular guests at Casa Benedict for almost ten years, staying in Casa Alicia, and its just like having your own home in the sun without the hassle. An easy 40 minute drive from the airport along a good, fast, empty road, the villa is continually well maintained, modern, and always, always spotlessly clean. The living room is spacious with plenty of storage so there is no need to have books, magazines and other possessions lying around in bags on the floor. The sofas are really comfy, not those ghastly things often found in holiday accommodation which have hard wooden arms and are so low that getting up is a major effort. The bedrooms are a really good size with loads of wardrobe space so all the clothes can be put away and the suitcases too, so you don't find yourself having to negotiate an obstacle course in the middle of the night. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with plenty of work space so you can prepare a meal for the family without having to do a balancing act with the plates. Outside the gardens are beautiful and the pool area is a dream with no need to get up at the crack of dawn to bag a sunbed because there are enough for everyone. The water is inviting thanks to the Proprietor's devotion to its maintenance and of course, its only a few paces from the front door. Plenty of car parking too right next to the villa. Ian and Jan are the perfect hosts – nothing is too much trouble and if you have any problems they are dealt with and resolved straight away. They provide such a warm welcome and their hospitality and vigilance continues throughout the stay which makes it all the more sad to bid farewell when its time to go home. Finally, the icing on the cake are Mr M and Mrs T, in-house rent-a pets, who were just adorable, great company and jolly good at guarding too. You simply could not ask for more – highly recommended.

Over the years my wife and I have stayed in various villas and apartments in Spain.We stayed at Casa Benedict (Alicia) for a month this year during April.It is without doubt the best place we have stayed, there is everything one could ask for,i ncluding high quality British TV, good WI-FI and plenty of comfort.The pool area is superb with plenty of sun beds to use and a quiet location. Ian and Jan are excellent hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them, just ask and you will get. I have left the best till last which is a special mention for two really good friends in Tia and Mac and I am missing them already; the best and most well behaved dogs you could want. We are back again for a month in Sept and can't wait. Thanks for a great stay. Bob and Chris.

Just returned from a weeks stay in Casa Helena and Alicia with our large family group. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Both villas were clean and well equipped, the pool area was fantastic as were the hosts Ian and Jan, we shall definitely recommend to our family and friends and hope to return in the near future !!

My second of hopefully many more stays at Casa Benedict, and I cannot recommend it enough. First rate accommodation with all the amenities one would ever require. Internet access, UK TV should you wish to spend your hols watching Corrie(??), a lovely pool, beautiful gardens and views, five mins from the beach at Mojacar Playa yet away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of secluded beaches are minutes to drive to, local markets every day in the nearby towns & villages, a real part of Spain largely unspoilt by us Brits. Ian & Jan are magnificent hosts who can never do enough for you. I've stayed at many places in many countries but Casa B. feels like a home from home and I urge you to book!!

Nous avons passé d'agréables vacances à la Casa Alicia pendant 15 jours. Ian et Jan sont toujours disponibles et discrets. Villa bien équipée avec mobilier état neuf. Air de jeu pour les enfants, jardin d'agrément, salon de jardin, transats, barbecue, terrasse en toiture pour notre plaisir. La piscine aux pieds de la Villa avec bain pour les petits. L'on peut se garer sur place. Par contre, il faut un véhicule sur place car on est loin de tout. Au plaisir de revenir. Laura, Raynald, et les enfants.

Just spent an absolutely wonderful month at Casa Benedict. Stayed in Villa Alicia. The villa is in a beautiful location ,surrounded by the Sierra Cabrera mountains. Very comfortable accommodation,including a leather sofa and huge leather armchair.Very cosy wood-burning stove for those evening when it was chilly,but not inside this villa,lovely and cosy!!! The owners Jan and Ian were brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble,providing clean towels whenever we needed and clean bed linen every week. We had amazing views from our private balcony and sun terrace. The sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed. We had gorgeous sunny days for practically the whole of February.Would thoroughly recommend this property for families,friends,couples wanting to get away from it all. There are 2 villas opposite each other,if you have a large group,you could rent both and still be close to family and friends whilst having some privacy. Mojacar Playa is about 10 mins by car where you can find gorgeous beaches and fantastic restaurants. The small town of Turre is a short walk away,where you can also find a selection of bars and restaurants. A big thank you to Ian and Jan for looking after us so well.

Merci à Ian et à son épouse. Villa conforme aux description très bien entretenue avec de nombreuses commodités. Endroit très calme dans un paysage magnifique. Jardins, espaces verts et piscine bien entretenue. Appartement/Villa très propre et bien décorée : agréable. Des chiens adorables, mes enfants voulaient en ramener un : surtout le gros toutou. Cadre idyllique très proche des centres urbains et la plage, où la mer est toujours chaude. Vacances reposantes garanties et superbes.Nombreux sites à visitez sans trop de déplacements.

Notre séjour de 15 jours à la Casa Benedict nous a rendu force et vigueur...lieu, décor et équipement qui ne nous ont procuré que de la détente et du bien-être. Tout correspondait à nos attentes, et tout était conforme au descriptif, aux photos et vidéos consultés sur le Web. La Villa Alicia et l'appartement où s'étaient répartis les 8 membres de notre famille nous ont offert le confort et la propreté souhaités: espace, terrasses, bon équipement domestique, placards, garde-robes, sans compter les draps et serviettes de toilette renouvelés chaque semaine. Nous avons profité un maximum des extérieurs spacieux...ils nous ont apporté beaucoup de plaisir et de sérénité. A noter que la zone de parking est de bonne taille. Nous avons apprécié l'isolement, loin de l'agitation des plages, la perspective offerte sur la campagne aride et ses petites montagnes, le champ d'oliviers de la propriété, l'espace libre pour jouer au ballon, à la pétanque, ainsi que le charmant petit jardin paysagé avec sa mare, sa tonnelle et son petit pont japonisant. La superbe piscine et ses chaises longues ont été l'attrait majeur ! 4m sur 8m pour nager, plonger, et chahuter, c'est parfait !....un vrai bonheur sous le soleil torride de l'été. Nos déplacements vers les plages ou les sites touristiques locaux s'en sont trouvés réduits...nous nous sentions si bien dans cet environnement que nous n'avions guère envie de nous en éloigner. Nous recommandons sans hésitation cette propriété pleine de charme.., idéale, idyllique pour '' se retirer du monde '' et se reposer. Nous remercions vivement Jan et Ian, les propriétaires qui vivent sur place pour leur accueil chaleureux, leur hospitalité, leur discrétion, leur disponibilité et leurs attentions. Bravo pour tout le travail qu'ils fournissent avec coeur pour entretenir aussi excellemment et joliment cet espace exceptionnel que nous avons tant aimé. Nous aurons grand plaisir à vivre d'autres vacances à la Casa Benedict. Patricia et Philippe K.

Andrew and I spent three out of five weeks at this wonderful location. The first was to size the place up as we had booked for two weeks in May for family and friends to celebrate my birthday. It was amazing it had everything we wanted and more. Great location, totally safe with masses of space,beautifully kept and perfect for a large gathering. Jan and Ian could not have been more helpful, toys for the grandchildren, extra large pots and pans all arrived before we asked, everything was done to make our stay perfect. They even arranged the weather. The dogs were a great hit even with Amy aged 2 who was frightened of dogs when she arrived. By day two she was feeding Tara and calling her to join us. The location on site of the villas and apartments lend themselves to the perfect place for a large gathering we could not have chosen better. We left with new friends and intend to return again unfortunately not to celebrate another 60th birthday.
