There are so many memorable moments from our stay - stunning views, beautiful sunrises & sunsets, crystal clear night sky, amazing accommodation, great activities (kayaking , rock climbing, horse riding, milking a goat(!), making cheese and bread) and of course Ilaria and Des our hosts. (more)Nick Levitsky

We swam, kayaked, rode horses, rafted down rivers and went for hikes through the superb national parks in the area. The "Lake District" of Spain lived up to its reputation and we found swimming in the man-made reservoirs was a great experience. It was one of the best holidays we had. (more)Brendan O

The most memorable moments were rock climbing, kayaking and visiting the hot spring pool at Negratin Reservoir. A lovely host and a beautiful area! (more)Natalie Fairbairn

Being able to walk to a great family beach (Arrieta) with spanish holidaymakers mainly. Our teenagers felt free to go swimming, body boarding & surfing. After a day of swimming or discovering the island it felt good to come back to the Eco Cabin with its pergola and small garden with fruit trees (fig, orange, mango, apple). (more)Sophie Nelson

It is a wonderful place for a family holiday with small children and a great place to recharge your batteries. (more)Alison Brookes Day

Fabulously relaxing, beautiful island, relaxed yet very responsive hosts. A great experience...Great for kids with donkey rides, missions to collect eggs every day, and to hang out with other kids on the communal trampoline, pirate boat and playground. (more)Michelle Levene

Fiona and Gareth did an excellent job in making our biking holiday a success. They planned the right level of routes (distance and altitude) for the different rides... (more)David Ant

The peaceful setting with all the lovely cats and kittens that are being so kindly cared for. The lovely swimming pool and great cycling on and off road. Day in Barcelona, well worth doing and actually this works very easily using the direct bus. (more)Charlotte Warwick

The location of our apartment (Driftwood). It was wonderful to be able to gaze out of the window and see the ocean, to hear the waves and to walk out at any time for a quick swim almost literally from our doorstep. (more)Jill Manwaring

Excellent, very relaxing but with plenty to do....Such a wonderful location, the hotel is lovely, peaceful and homely. Home cooked meals every night and hours spent relaxing in the evening sun on the veranda. The holiday can be as active or as relaxed as you like. (more)Anna Hughes

Its a beautiful area for walking (more)Elizabeth Treherne

We really felt that we got to know this area of southern Spain thanks to our hosts. Really great time. We'd love to go back. (more)Laura Greenman

You couldn't ask for a more idyllic location, or more welcoming hosts. Shane met us at the villa when we arrived and gave us a quick run through the basics, while Bea would always let us know when she was around to water the plants (twice during the week), a much appreciated sign of the type of consideration they show towards their guests. (more)David Mervik

The peaceful setting, serene surroundings and the warm and gracious hospitality of our hosts, Shane and Bea, are our fondest memories. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, two weeks later, we rarely thought of our hectic, fast-paced life back home. (more)Nancy Lipson

Excellent....Relaxing on the amazing patio of the property in the evening sun, listening to incredible bird song and enjoying the beautiful valley (more)Vicky Hildreth

Wonderful. We had a lovely time and came away feeling relaxed and stress-free. It was also nice to meet the hosts and their family, who live nearby, and chat to them about their way of life. (more)Elfie Burgess

We had a great time and would recommend it to families....Swimming in the river pools, visiting the Alhambra, picking figs and almonds straight from the tree, watching the sunset on the terrace, keeping track of the geckos, getting our water from the spring: many wonderful memories. (more)Julia Hutchinson

Memorable parts? This was a lovely holiday and the coastal walks especially glorious. We much appreciated the welcome pack of groceries, the very comfortable and well appointed townhouse, and the flexibility we were given to modify our routes. In the unseasonably hot June weather (30 degrees plus) having our own pool was a great bonus. When the heat curtailed our walks, the local beaches included in several walks were a delight. Tips? Vivian and Alan gave us a warm welcome and provided... (more)Anne Ife

Really enjoyed the Via Ferrata. The holiday was terrific. The weather was unseasonably hot but having a pool really helped. There were some local short bike rides (6-10 miles) as well as much longer tours for the more ambitious. (more)Caroline Vibert

The boys loved the Canyoning which we did with two other families and the location was chosen for the age of participants. The others would say the water pArk or the horse riding was the best part. (more)Rebecca Fleming

Varied local activities. Varied cycle routes and swimming in the crystal clear lake. First class. Fiona and Gareth and their team were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Hope to go back again soon. (more)Russell Parsonage

We particularly enjoyed the cycle route through the medieval villages, which goes past orchards and rice fields too. The whole team were great. (more)Sara Bodey

The last night, when we walked back along the beach from an excellent restaurant in Santa Antoni. There were live bands, dancing and warm, happy people everywhere. The perfect end to one of the best holidays ever. (more)Sarah Slade

Excellent - beautiful accommodation, spotlessly clean and with lovely extra thoughtful touches. The bicycles were perfect - very comfortable and trustworthy. (more)Margaret Steventon

The hiking and surfing was fantastic. I wish I still windsurfed as it looked incredible. Lots of friendly and guest service minded staff at our accommodations and throughout the whole island. (more)Nancy Carey

We expected the finca to be lovely but it far exceeded our expectations. The Garden Cottage was perfect for a couple who wanted privacy but still all the facilities of the shared areas...Excellent! (more)Helen Wilson

Fantastic! Whilst we were there most of the other guests were couples with young children but as a childless couple we were catered for just as perfectly. The finca is a beautiful place, the owners are friendly and helpful, can't praise it enough! (more)Lisa Carver

A hike across the amazing Timanfaya National Park led by Jose of Blackstone Treks was the most memorable. (more)Sarah Brocklehurst

The best part was staying in the tiny fishing village of Punta Mujeres and interact with the locals simply by having a cortado or getting a beer with the others. This is the best slow travel I have experienced. Highly recommended, if you want to walk, trek, read, write, have great food and surrounded by simple, kind people. An unforgettable holiday where the pace was slow and the locals very kind including the mini market at Punta Mujeres, the hair dresser and folks at Bar Palenka. (more)Priti Patnaik

The cottage was beautiful, the location was perfect. I will definitely be telling everyone about it, although was tempted to keep it as my secret! (more)Laura Whelan

We enjoyed relaxing, reading, swimming and sitting by the pool. Our kids were happy hence so were we! (more)Deborah Sigsgaard

Great. Beautiful place. V. Quiet and peaceful. Visit the Alhambra late afternoon for fewer crowds (more)Nicola Goddard

This is a really beautiful part of Spain as its all hills and valleys...visiting the Alhambra was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)kay scoresby

The most memorable part was watching my daughter see the stars for the first time! Zero light pollution! Also, I was so surprised by how much there was to do on the island. Nice to wake up each day and know it was going to be sunny and dry! (more)Angellique Sunter

We really enjoyed the boat trip to Isle Graciosa – the operator organised it. We went on a RIB speed boat to get there, then went snorkelling, walking through the town and a beautiful lunch. (more)Michelle Christensen

Absolutely lovely. It is probably a huge cliche but seeing the children laughing and playing by themselves and with new friends meant I was more relaxed - it all just ticked over perfectly and resulted in a great holiday. (more)Kate Macnab

Memorable parts? Going on a day trip to a remote island organised by owner Tila and swimming on an empty beach. Tips? Definitely rent a car and try arrive in day light as roads signs easily missed in dark Local benefits? Yes - completely. Overall rating? Excellent, cheap and cheerful, direct flights, lots to do...brilliant family holiday would have been equally good for a couple or friends. (more)Zara Stassin

Memorable parts? Walking and canyoning in the Picos. Tips? If you love National Parks and beautiful mountains this holiday hits the spot. Local benefits? Absolutely especially at Mastes de Con. This hotel served local food and was run by local, passionate people . Our guide was also local and passionate about the environment. Overall rating? Excellent (more)Tracy Bottomley

So many lovely places, arriving at night with the tiny windows lit up, the smell of the air, exploring the village Seinya with it's fruit trees, vegetable patches and beautiful sand coloured buildings and village square and gentle village life, arriving in Besalu-wow, the most spectacular Medieval village, swimming in the lake at Banyoles, the landscape, seeing a wide boar, swimming in the river, visiting Girona-that first veiw of the old town lining the river, the cat family...the teenagers getting... (more)Liz Glover

Perfect relaxing, rural location convenient to sight-seeing spots such as Girona and Besalu. (more)Melissa Wright

It was a great holiday, a bit like when we go skiing... you come home feeling fit and energised. (more)Caroline Wigart
