The Area
Always popular with Spanish tourists for many years, the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) has recently begun to attract tourists from other parts of Europe.
With a distinct Spanish flavour, there is a great deal to offer all types of holidaymakers – history, culture, golf and other sporting activities are plentiful. Its a nature lovers paradise and perfect for families.
Beach lovers are spoilt for choice, as Huelva's coastline is one long expanse of fine golden sand.
Visitors have a choice of town beaches with pedestrianised promenades, ample bars and restaurants yet providing plenty of space to relax. Just a short drive will take you to quieter beaches with beach bars backed by dunes and pine forests. The beaches of this area have for many years been awarded the European Blue Flag.
The town beaches have a range of water sports on offer including windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, water skiing, pedaloes and banana boat rides.
The nearest beach to the villa is La Antilla, approx 15-20minutes walking distance or five minutes by car. A cool box, beach umbrellas and beach chairs, buckets and spades are available at the house for use by guests.
The House
Altavista Villa is a recently built three storey townhouse located in a private gated community on Islantilla Golf Course ("Campo de Golf"), in Heulva province on the Costa de la Luz ("Coast of Light").
The property is comprehensively and comfortably equipped for six people. Surrounded by landscaped communal gardens with two large freeform swimming swimming pools, it is a perfect place for a relaxing, care free stay. The more active holidaymaker will find plenty of recreational activities close by and will have ample opportunity to participate in a variety of sports, both land and water based.
The convenient location makes it an ideal base for discovering the attractions of this unspoilt and little known region of Spain, often referred to as the Spanish Algarve. With the central heating and the attractions of the golf course, it is a wonderful year round destination.
