“De perfecte combinatie van rust, luxe en ligging”
Wij hebben hier een fantastische week gehad. Het appartement is echt van alle gemakken voorzien en super schoon bij aankomst. Wat voor ons vooral het verschil maakte, is de ligging: je zit heerlijk rustig op het resort, maar binnen 15–25 minuten sta je op verschillende mooie stranden of in gezellige dorpjes zoals Mazarrón en Lorca.
De tips die we vooraf kregen voor restaurants en stranden waren spot-on. We hebben plekken ontdekt waar we anders nooit waren gekomen. Vooral Bolnuevo en de kleinere baaitjes vonden wij echt geweldig.
Ook fijn: alles voelt veilig en ontspannen. Perfect voor zowel koppels als gezinnen.
Wij komen hier zonder twijfel nog een keer terug!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Ideale uitvalsbasis voor strand, golf en uitstapjes”
Casa Selucia is echt een top locatie als je van afwisseling houdt. Wij hebben een paar dagen gegolfd (prachtige banen in de buurt!) en dit gecombineerd met stranddagen en etentjes in de omgeving. Alles is goed bereikbaar en je zit nergens lang in de auto.
Het appartement zelf is ruim, modern ingericht en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt voor een zorgeloos verblijf. Het terras en de buitenruimte zijn ook echt een pluspunt, vooral ’s ochtends met een kop koffie in de zon.
Wat wij ook erg waardeerden was de communicatie: duidelijk, snel en behulpzaam. Je merkt dat er echt is nagedacht over de ervaring van gasten.
Aanrader voor iedereen die ontspanning wil combineren met leuke activiteiten.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Voelt meteen als vakantie zodra je aankomt”
Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, voelde het goed. Alles was netjes geregeld en het appartement was precies zoals op de foto’s — misschien zelfs beter.
Wat deze plek voor ons bijzonder maakte, is de combinatie van rust en mogelijkheden. De ene dag lagen we op een rustig strand, de volgende dag maakten we een mooie wandeling in de bergen of gingen we lunchen in een leuk Spaans dorpje.
De omgeving is verrassend veelzijdig en nog niet massaal toeristisch, wat het juist extra charmant maakt. Je ervaart hier echt het “echte Spanje”.
We hebben enorm genoten en zouden deze plek zonder twijfel aanraden aan vrienden en familie.
