Peaceful, well equipped family house in beautiful part of Spain

After taking a few years away from the rental market this lovely, tranquil home in south west Spain is back for rent from September 2018. You will notice some of the reviews provided are taken from the house's old guest book, although 2019 guests have now provided some lovely positive reviews too.

Set on 1.5 acres of secluded mature gardens, this rural rustic family house is ideal for families or couples wanting to escape and enjoy a fantastic part of Andalusia. Placed in the small hamlet of Najara, Casa Sylvia is an attractive rustic house with bags of charm.

This part of Spain is very unspoilt, with rich history and tradition, and due to the amazing Atlantic climate and stunning beaches, it is where many Spanish people come for their own summer holidays.

The owners have furnished the house well for comfortable family living and is very well equipped. It is well provided for guests with children - a cot and a high chair are available. The newly refurbished pool is set within a large patio near to the house; there are ample loungers, tables and chairs as well as a BBQ for outdoor living. Outside the mature gardens are well tended by local couple Diego and Milagros, who can provide you with seasonal produce from the grounds.

The house is situated 10 mins from the stunning hilltop fortress town, Vejer de la Frontera with restaurants, bars, shops and other amenities. Many beaches are easily accessible, including 20 mins to El Palmar beach. Other beautiful beaches nearby include Caños, Conil de la,Frontera, La Barrosa, Cape Trafalgar, Zahora.

The house has a guest information book, including a wealth of knowledge about the local area, supermarkets, restaurants, beaches, amenities, emergency contacts, etc.

4 bedrooms (two doubles, two twins), cot available.
2 bathrooms & 1 en suite
Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher
Washing machine and dryer

Wonderful stay in a beautiful property
We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful villa. Jane was a great host and Diego the gardener was so friendly and welcoming, showing us the garden and giving us freshly picked fruit and veg. We hardly saw him but it was lovely when we did. The villa is beautiful with everything you need, the gardens are so peaceful to relax in with just the sounds of the countryside and the pool is a great size and although it was only April we were in it lots everyday. Although remote it is only 20min to the wonderful old town of Vejer with lots of restaurants, shops ans supermarkets and stunning beaches with restaurants just a bit further. There is a tiny shop 5min drive away in Cantarranas which sells most things and further supermarkets in Benalup. A great base to explore the area - we only wish we had been able to stay longer to explore more as well as have lazy days enjoying the villa. We’ve already recommended it to loads of friends and hope to stay again.

A perfect holiday home in an amazing location
Casa Sylvia is the most perfect holiday home for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Beautiful gardens, a perfect pool and a really homey feel to the whole place. Super close to Vejer and really easy to get to other places such as Cadiz and Seville. Brilliant communication from start to finish and such an amazing helpful house and area guide in the house, we read it everyday and it helped us plan our weeks out. Everything was perfect!

A great property with a fantastic garden
The house is set in a very quiet area but yet within a short distance from Vejer. It has a lot of personality and a nice "lived in" feeling but more than anything, we were impressed by the large outdoor area, a beautiful pool and not to forget, the most amazing caretakers. We strongly recommend this destination for anyone looking to explore the sensational Cadiz region but preferring to stay a little off the beaten track.

Peaceful, delightful villa, in a fantastic location
We stayed for 2 weeks at Casa Sylvia last month. After a long, tiring journey we arrived there with some trepidation (having read the previous 1* review, written after we had booked). Our worries were unfounded...what a slice of heaven! The villa was clean and spacious with little homely touches. The kitchen was well equipped and there were some pantry items and a few welcome items already in the fridge. There was also a huge box of homegrown vegetables and fruit, delicious. The private grounds were a delight. Pots of flowers everywhere and all manner of bushes, plants and climbers. Not to mention the orchard and vegetable plots. It was a pleasure to while away the hours reading, sunbathing and watching the spectacular show put on by the swallows over the pool. Of course the price for all this beauty is that it has to be tended and so Diego and Milagras quietly visit for a couple of hours daily, very early in the morning so as not to impose, often leaving more fresh produce. As you would expect for a rural villa, there were some ants and mosquitos, but we had come prepared for these. The village is really peaceful, no more than a few houses really and any noise came from the occasional dog bark or cockerel crowing. If you want to be within walking distance of shops and restaurants this is not the place for you. The surrounding area is mostly untouched by mass tourism, a real taste of Spanish culture. The white hilltop villages are very pretty and the people friendly, we particularly liked Vejer and Medina Sidonia. The coast is within easy reach with beaches for all tastes, wide sandy stretches, small coves, supervised, non supervised, naturist, it has them all. We enjoyed a wonderful walk from Cape Trafalgar along the beaches and cliff tops to Torre del Tajo. Also don’t miss the very large sand dune at Bolonia (you can visit the Roman remains here too). There were a few small niggles but these could either easily be addressed or were out of the control of the owner (some of the flyscreens were damaged therefore we couldn’t leave the windows open at night, there were no oven gloves & the internet was rather slow) We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely recommend Casa Sylvia to anyone wanting a beautiful rural retreat.

Weihnachten in Casa Sylvia
Wir haben Weihnachten und Silvester in Casa Sylvia verbracht und hatten eine schöne Zeit. Alles war wie beschrieben und das Highlight war auch für uns die kleine Plantage. Soviel frischen Orangensaft mit Grapefruit haben wir wohl noch nie getrunken. Das Grundstück ist wirklich großzügig und unsere Kinder konnten das ganze Arial zum Spielen nutzen. Gerne hätten wir auch den Pool genutzt, aber es ist verständlich, dass dieser im Winter geschlossen ist. Diego müssen wir unbedingt auch positiv erwähnen. Wir mussten die ganze Zeit heizen und er hat uns unermüdlich Holz und Anzündmaterial herbei geschafft und war auch gerne mal für einen kleinen Plausch zu haben (so gut es eben mit nur kleinen Spanischkenntnissen unsererseits geht). Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Hidden paradise / Ein Paradies!
Wunderbar rustikales Haus mit viel Platz für die Familie, gute Betten, gute Ausstattung, traumhafter riesiger Garten und top gepflegter sehr großer Pool. 3 Terassen, toller Grill, Dach begehbar. Sehr ruhig in der Natur gelegen, das Pferdeschnauben, der nächtliche Uhu und der morgendliche Hahn untermalen das aufs schönste. Die Lage ist ideal für Touren und einen schnellen Dip ins Meer, die nächsten Strände sind allesamt extrem toll, mit schönen Strandbars und weißem Sand. Diego ist ein wahnsinnig freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Mensch und Jane stand per Mail jederzeit zur Verfügung. Wir waren hier sehr glücklich, vielen Dank! Matthias, Barbara, Charlotte, Maximilian.

El jardín y el huerco que rodean la propiedad son una maravilla, hay un olor a azahar y a flores que es muy agradable. La zona de piscina es super. La casa esta bien, sobre todo la cocina y el salón, buen lugar de encuentro. La carretera para acceder un poco descuidada, hay poca cobertura y el gps, a veces, se perdía. Pero a unos 10-12km de los pueblos y playas más interesantes

We really enjoyed casa Sylvia. The layout of the house, the gardens, the location ... everything in one word "great". Diego as caretaker of the house and gardens was a great support. He continued to make sure that everything was to our liking. Oranges, mandarins, grapefruit .... the trees were full and we were allowed to pick what we wanted. We will definitely come back here in warmer periods.

Wunderschönes Haus mit allem was man für einen perfekten Urlaub braucht !
Wir waren 10 Tage im Casa Sylvia und haben den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Das Haus ist mehr als ausreichend ausgestattet und die Lage perfekt. Zum Meer sind es ca 20 Min, nach Cádiz 1 Std, Vejer 15 Min. Highlight ist definitiv der große Pool. Für uns was es der beste Urlaub mit der richtigen Mischung aus Ruhe und Entspannung im Haus und Action am Meer. Oropax sollte man aber unbedingt mitbringen, die Hähne und Hunde in der Nachbarschaft sind die ganze Nacht aktiv.
