Nijar accommodation from NZ$61

With late booking and scarce flight availability, this villa had an attraction that we wanted to try. We booked last-minute flights at a premium price, booked Villa Aberlado and hired an intermediate SUV with the worry that we may struggle with luggage. On arrival at Almeria, we were gifted an upgrade to a Renault Espace which swallowed our luggage. Exactly 35 minutes steady drive we arrived to meet a Spanish agent who spoke very little English (we are in Spain!), and following a brief tour of the property we dropped our cases and headed out to the nearest supermarket some 30km away (choice of Lidl and Mercado) we subsequently learned that there are three mini-markets in the village, one at least being more than sufficient. Back to base and a good look around the Villa to find the best charcoal BBQ that I have ever encountered took hold – if you like to cook on a real charcoal BBQ then oh my, this is the best ever. This was the start of an amazing experience, our first day was blessed with sunshine and a sublime relaxation, but our next two days were horrendous rain storms that blighted Spain. Thankfully, the Villa was so comfortable and like home, that we just settled in to relax. The Villa is incredibly well-equipped, and the kitchen has absolutely everything that you need (except a kettle if you are from England for your early morning tea!) – there are no shortages of cutlery and crockery. Would we visit again? Absolutely, this place is a sure winner!

Great 4 night stay at Mamen's place, great property with everything you would need. Great to have space for our dog and close to many nice beaches and towns. Lovely little tapas bar in the village, sadly this only opens from Thursday - Sunday. Great communication and information on the area from the host. Can highly recommend for a few days tranquility

Very nice place
