Location

Almeria airport is just over one hour away and Murcia airport one and a half hours. Both are easily accessible by motorway. There are budget airlines flying into both airports on a regular basis. Malaga is approximately three and a half hours and Alicante is approximately a two hour drive away offering a larger choice of airlines and flight times.
Although the property is set in a peaceful rural location surrounded by olive trees, it is within easy reach of the town of Albox, which is about a five minute drive away. The town has several supermarkets including a Lidl a Dia and a Mercadona,a wide range of shops,bars and restaurants, and a large street market selling everything from fruit and vegetables to clothes and household goods held every Tuesday morning. The small village of Almanzora is about the same distance, and has some small bars and two small shops, a farmacia and a bank. The small town of Arboleas is also within easy reach with a range of bars restaurants and small supermarkets and its own markets.
There are 17 kilometres of unspoilt sandy beaches in the area. Mojacar and Garrucha are 35-40 minutes drive away on excellent uncrowded roads. There are many small restaurants, bars and cafes along the seafront and well as children's playgrounds. Vera Playa is a slightly livelier resort with a Water Park. Mojacar Pueblo is well worth a visit, a traditional Spanish Pueblo Blanco high on the hillside with great views and small shops and restaurants.
An hours drive away is the national park area that includes the large fresh water Lake Negratin. There is a small lakeside beach area with a restaurant that affords spectacular views across the lake.
Families will enjoy a visit to the nearby Wild West theme parks of Fort Bravo Texas and Oasys. Due to the dry desert like landscape of Almeria, it has often been used to stand in for the Wild West in movies and TV Shows. You can visit authentic looking Wild West towns and watch cowboy demonstrations and shows such as gunfights and bank hold ups. There are also restaurants and pools in the parks. Oasys also has a zoo.
Further away but possible for a day trip is the historic city of Granada, with its wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants as well as historic sites such as the Moorish Alhambra Palace with its beautiful gardens and water features.
Almeria is about an hours drive away and has a wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants, and the ruins of the Moorish Alcazaba. If you are feeling adventurous there is a ferry service from Almeria to Morocco and Algeria.

Off the beaten track and rural, the setting for us was just what we wanted.

This house had amazing views by the pool, swallows swooped down to the pool for a drink and there was 2 owls there every night and a cockerel near by to wake us up. Rest and relaxation was our agenda and this was gained. A lovely well equipped house and 2 happy customers, thank you :)

very nice villa in good location

We stayed at this villa whilst house hunting in the area. It was very near to Albox and the supermarkets and restaurants (few mins drive) but was still in a quiet area with lovely views from the pool. The covered fly free area was great to eat in. It had everything you need and was clean and tidy and not overlooked. There is a good size garden if you have a dog and within a short drive there is a rambla (just before Almanzora) where you can walk them for miles. There is barking from some rescue dogs in the olive groves opposite but mostly just at feeding times and we didnt find it a problem. The only suggestion I would make is some new sunlounger cushions and maybe a stronger sun umbrella with a heavy stand, as the existing one kept blowing out of the stand when we tried to use it. All in all we had a very nice time here.

Really nice Villa is an ideal location

We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every day. The villa is quite private and not really overlooked, though there is an empty property behind the villa. As mentioned in a few reviews there are dogs in the area, in two directions but the barking is not constant and during our stay, we were not awoken by any barking during the night. In addition to the dogs somebody within the area also has cockerels and even a Peacock. The villa is well equipped with everything a normal family would need. The fridge/freezer is plenty large enough to store what you need. Along with the washing machine, there is an outdoor airer and also a line for drying clothes, Apart from the dining table in the main room , there are 3 other areas to eat outdoors, including a table within the fly screen area which is ideal for eating at night. The pool has an outdoor shower to rinse off under before entering and there is also another table and chairs next to the pool. Albox itself appears a quiet town, but does have 3 major supermarkets (Lidl, Dia and Mercadona) as well as a number of banks and coffee shops and a BP petrol station. Using tripadvisor, we found a number of nice restaurants in the area, though some are difficult to find and in unusual settings (Meson de Irene is an industrial unit next to the Estación ITV but has great food at a reasonable set price). A warning far Garmin SatNav users, Even though I had updated my SatNav with the latest European maps, it did have problems navigating around Albox and was always insisting that I needed to go through Almanzora to get to Albox which is not the case. We would definitely recommend this to anybody wanting a relaxing break in a not too tourist filled area.

Lovely Villa with a few niggles

First of all the service we had and the cleanliness of the villa was great. Its in a lovely location for both walks into the village and short drive in to Albox for the shopping. The Pool was fantastic and clean and the netted area for sitting in was godsend during the heat of the day. Now for the niggles:- We had read in previous reviews that there was a strong smell from the main bathroom. This has not been rectified and made use of the bathroom nearly impossible. This wasn't too bad as there was only 2 of us and there were another 2 shower rooms that could be used! The second niggle was safety. All windows are barred plus the patio doors out of the second bedroom had locked gates with no keys. Leaving the front door as only exit in case of fire. In the UK this would not be acceptable. We did ask the managing agents for a key but were told they didn't have one. It did rub salt in the wound that fire exit signs pointed to the locked doors! Finally the third niggle and the only one that stops me returning is the noise from a nearby kennels. I like dogs but not when they bark continuously from 9 o'clock at night to 9 o'clock in the morning. We got to learn their main feeding times when the cacophony was at its loudest 11.30 PM an 7:15 AM During the heat of the day it was all peace and quiet but I didn't have a single undisturbed sleep in the nine days we were there. Our visit was to see if the area suited us to buy our own villa which it certainly does and we will be returning again soon. This visit brought it home that when we find the right property we need to visit it at different times of the day to check there are no unseen problems like adjacent kennels. This review may sound a bit negative but if you partly deaf with no sense of smell and can contortion yourself through bars then this is the villa for you! Everything else is 5 star and is great value for the money.

Lovely rural area just outside Albox

Met Susie as arranged,in Lidl car park (which was closed as it was Sunday)followed her to the Villa, she showed as around and explained that we would need to leave it very clean or the owner would not return our deposit, as she is very fussy.We found this quite a strange thing to say! Along with the advice to be careful not to lock ourselves out as there was only 1 set of keys, (the only door automatically self locks) The position of the villa was lovely and the pool area great in the daytime although after dark as there was no lighting around the pool or garden so we couldn't sit out. After a few hours we discovered the most terrible smell in the family bathroom (drains?) plus the bidet didn't have running water.This made it so we couldn't use this bathroom,the en suite to the master bedroom shower screen didn't work so the only 1 fully working bathroom and the door was warped so didn't shut, which was ok as it was just the of us. Other issues were - that none of the security lights outside worked so when returning after dark it was very difficult to see. As for the cleaning, the oven gave off fumes and interior light didn't work, all the crockery needed washing and the glasses were so bad we had to buy new We washed all the floors as our feet were filthy after a few hours, plus there was a strange smell in the lounge, maybe it just needed a GOOD CLEAN!!!! In conclusion the villa has many maintenance issues that need to be addressed by the owners for future guest at this property. We would have complained whilst we were at the villa but didn't relish the thought of any maintenance.We were on holiday after all. We would return to the area, but not to this property.

Excellent

Accommodation was clean, well stocked and with a surprise welcome pack. Location is really good with very quiet surroundings yet an easy 5 minute drive into Albox the nearest large town where there are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants and a garage. There is a market each Tuesday which is fantastic and really worth a visit. Communication beforehand with the owner was easy and helpful and we were met in town and shown to the villa without any problem. There are many wonderful small villages and towns to visit within no more than a half hour drive and if you want the coast then an easy 30 minute drive and you will be in Vera Playa or Mojacar with all the amenities of a coastal resort. The scenery in the area is stunning and there are many walks to be done if this is your thing. Unusually for us we dined at the Villa every evening and we were not disappointed with the local produce nor the prices! Relaxing by the pool and eating dinner late in the evening was one of the most relaxing things about our stay. I would very much recommend Casa Kymker to anyone who wants a feel of the real Spain as an alternative to the traditional resort holiday.

Très jolie villa - sublime piscine - tranquillité assurée

Très jolie Villa pour un séjour en famille - pas plus de 4 personnes (notamment car la table de dehors est une petite table ronde). Le Patio en moustiquaire est la perle de cette maison. Profiter de l’extérieur sans la nuisance des insectes… un vrai bonheur! Attention : Voiture indispensable et être prêts à faire de très nombreux kilomètres. Supermarchés et toutes commodités à 10mn en voiture, mais toutes les autres distractions (plages, visites, centres commerciaux, etc…) sont à plus d’une heure de route. Petit conseil aux prochains visiteurs: bien penser à apporter de l’eau minérale à votre arrivée car il n’est pas conseillé de boire l’eau du robinet. Très bon séjour dans l’ensemble Nous recommandons vivement

Zeer slecht ervaring

-Jammer is het huis niet kindvriendelijk, veel breekbaar materiaal in de weg. - Zwembad was niet proper/gereinigd bij thuiskomst. - Veel wespen die ons stoken in het zwembad. - keuken is arm ingericht. Potten zijn niet groot genoeg voor 6. - Salon bevat maar 5 plaatsen. - Vliegennet die al hersteld werd is heel gevoelig, afblijven is de boodschap. -oude matrassen = weinig comfot
