Quality, detached, modern yet comfortable villa set amongst stunning garden

Sleeping 6 to 7 people (by arrangement), this 3 twin bedroom, two bathroom, detached villa is in the desirable, peaceful location of El Rancho at La Manga Club. It was completely modernised and refurbished to the highest standard in 2015. All our guests have given us great reviews commenting on the quality of furbishment and the "home from home" feel of the villa.

The villa is ideal for both a family holiday or an adults only trip. Set in tranquil, landscaped gardens, with a large expanse of grass perfect for children to play safely on,this traditional style, 2 storey villa is air-conditioned throughout. The entrance area has a WC/cloakroom and leads to a spacious comfortable lounge/dining room with high ceiling and 2 contemporary paddle fans. The wood burner provides additional heating and a cosy feel for any winter visitors. In keeping with the style of El Rancho (the stables), the wooden beams in the vaulted ceiling add character and retains a link with the past. Light coloured floor tiles and dark leather sofas provide a luxurious tone. The lounge has a TV with a great selection of TV channels, and a few games (Scrabble, Bananagrams, cards etc). The property also has free WIFI. The dining area opens to stylish fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, hob and oven, extractor fan, lots of traditional terracotta earthenware, plenty of cutlery and crockery) with ample storage in high gloss walnut coloured and cream units, granite work surfaces, cream wall tiles.

Patio doors lead from the lounge to a large terrace with table and chairs for 6, an inbuilt BBQ and has great views over the Mar Menor and surrounding landscape. A large wooden dining table with chairs comfortably seats six and a retractable awning provides welcome shade above. There is an external staircase leading to a further roof terrace, which boasts stunning views of the nearby pool and gardens - the ideal place to catch the last rays of the sun in the evening. Both terraces have surrounding walls with inset wooden rails, thus providing good safety for children (If required, there is also the facility to use a child gate to restrict children reaching the upper terrace). Downstairs there are 3 generous bedrooms (one of which is en-suite with very large rainfall shower) each with 2 single beds and built in wardrobes, and in the third bedroom there is the option to have an additional bed to sleep the seventh person if required. There is also a large family bathroom, beautifully tiled. Each bathroom has a hairdryer. The light and airy master bedroom benefits from patio doors which open onto a small terrace and the villa's front garden. Set in beautiful landscaped gardens with bougainvillea, palm and citrus trees, the villa is a stone’s throw from the nearest swimming pool (pool 3 - guests at El Rancho have a choice of 9 pools). Bellaluz Plaza contains a some shops including a very well stocked supermarket, restaurants and bar and is a short walk away. All the resorts main facilities are within walking distance. As guests of the villa you can enjoy reduced resident rates for golf and tennis. Our management company are easily contactable and can arrange additional services such as taxi's, babysitting, supermarket shop for your arrival, provide high chairs etc.

La Manga Club and the Mar Menor offer many other activities such as bicycle hire, scuba diving on a marine reserve, kite surfing, water-skiing, wind surfing, boat hire, go-karting, hill walking; as well as superb beaches which are safe for children. The marina of Cabo de Palos, only a 10 minute drive away, is a delightful place to visit offering good seafood restaurants and an opportunity to sit and enjoy the sea views.Further afield are the cities of Murcia and Cartagena which both offer fantastic restaurants and shops as well as many places of historical interest.

Ideal family villa.
Only stayed 5 days. I had read previous reviews and was confident the villa would be excellent. I was not disappointed. We've stayed on the club over 15 times and for value for money this villa was outstanding.

Lovely villa in well situated community within La Manga Club
Property is lovely and recently modernised. It sits within a very nice community on the La Manga resort, easy walking distance to restaurants and facilities. The pools in the El Rancho community create smaller areas with plenty of room for all. Owner and property manager were easy to contact and very helpful. A lovely stay.

Excellent stay
Excellent stay in La Manga Club once again, property was ideal for our family and Sarah from the management company was on hand to deliver towels and deal with any queries. Lovely property, en suite walk in shower was fantastic and all the family used it. This was our 2nd visit to the resort and 2nd stay in el Rancho, which is a great area with 9 pools. The two pools attached to Liz’s property were great and although low in sunbeds, we always found a few so no issues with kids in the pool. Great weather and we would certainly come back to this property.

Lovely house in perfect location
We spent a week in this large detached El Rancho villa in high season. In decor and layout it's one of the nicest we have stayed in as repeat visitors to La Manga Club - it has been renovated to a high standard and has AC as well as modern ceiling fans and a decent kitchen. The location is ideal for families, being close to a couple of the communal swimming pools. The owner, Gill, could not be more helpful and was very polite and responsive in all communications we had with her.

Sunny side up
La Manga Club is a gated golf, tennis and sports complex with a great variety of facilities, and restaurants reached in about 45 mins from the new Corvera. Airport. The complex is immaculately maintained and landscaped and has everything you need for a great holiday. Bars, restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance although personally I would not consider visiting without my own transport. Nearby towns and beaches offer even further choice. This Villa is well designed, spacious, clean and well decorated with a full range of necessary self catering equipment and comfortably furnished. It is sited in an enviable and convenient position, with some steps for access from the roadside parking. All bedrooms have spacious accommodation and plentiful storage facilities. Bathrooms are clean, bright and modern with luxury towels supplied. Both patios offer great sunbathing with stunning views over the Club, the countryside and La Manga Strip whilst you enjoy your evening BBQ or cocktail. We would certainly recommend this property and your are ensured a great holiday with use of the shared pools on your doorstep. The owner provides good local information and excellent friendly and helpful communication.

Fantastic place
We stayed at this beautiful place at La Manga Club in February-March 2019 and loved every minute of it. It is modern, spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable in every respect. There is an amazing variety of very good restaurants in the neighbourhood and a lovely little plaza a short walk away. The owners are gracious and very helpful. If we ever return to Cartagena, I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

High quality rental in a beautiful location
We really enjoyed our stay in El Rancho. The house is everything which has already been said. It is very clean and the check in/out procedure very easy. We also received a very detailed information beforehand and everything is done so that you can enjoy your stay. As it was the winter season, we used the wood burner every night, which was brilliant. The best surprise was the proximity of the house to the Calblanque Natural Park. A few hundred meters and you can find trails with fantastic views on the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor, and also access beautiful beaches. On the practical side, we recommend the British butcher “Missing Links” in Los Belones, and the Eurospar Supermarket in Cabo de Palos. There is also a Carrefour near Cartagena where you can find international products. The local supermarkets in La Manga Club are smaller. There are local restaurants in La Manga Club and we tried the Curry Gardens and the Asia. They were both very good, but more pricey than usual for Spain. We would not hesitate to recommend this house and location to our friends and will certainly return.

Fabulous villa in perfect location.
This villa exceeded all our expectations! All the rooms were extremely spacious and well appointed. It is decorated throughout to a high standard yet is extremely comfortable. The views from the terrace across to La Manga are fantastic. To the rear is an area of beautiful gardens with 2 of the community pools just a stones throw away. The resort is extremely well maintained and was very quiet at the time of our visit. I would highly recommend this villa and resort and we will certainly be back!

Home away from home!
Lovely Villa and a great place to stay. Easy walking distance to the main centres in La Manga club with the bars, restaurants and shops. The villa has all the amenities that you need and with the washing machine we had far more clothes than needed. Supermarkets on-site are very good and there is more available from the bigger ones on the way to Mar Menor, which has a nice harbour and some very good fish restaurants. Unfortunately didn’t get to use the BBQ due to the wind. We didn’t try the pools or beaches as the weather was against us but on site the pools look nice and the beach at Mar Cristal looked nice. The restaurants on site we tried (Dante’s, La Barra, Meat Point) were all good and the Scotsman pub in Belaluz village had a welcome happy hour! As keen runners it was easy to run round the site and do some longer runs along Mar Menor and out towards the beaches. As it was March and unfortunately not great weather (we didn’t expect blazing sunshine all day every day) the villa can get a bit chilly so I would recommend some warm clothes and slippers for the tiled floor, but the air con heaters are ok at keeping it sufficiently warm. All in all a very pleasant stay and will definitely consider staying again! Gill was also very helpful and quick to answer questions.

Lovely La Manga House
We loved our stay here and would definitely come again. The house is in a peaceful but convenient area of La Manga, easy to access shops, restaurants and the tennis centre. From the front you have lovely views out toward the sea and to the back gardens and pools. The house itself is light and airy, really nice layout and well furnished. You can tell that the owners put a lot of love into the property and its is well cared for and nicely equipped. Perfect for a family holiday at La Manga.
