The Villa Joya (Ref. LB1)

Mosaic Swimming Pool outside the front of Villa at La Barrosa

This well-appointed 4 bedroom villa is located in the quiet residential district of Cerromolino, just a few minutes drive from the beach at La Barrosa. The area is populated with private villas and as you approach, the salt marshes of the Bahia de Cádiz Natural Park, bordered with pine trees are on your right.

The villa is set in a spacious and secluded garden with its own mosaic swimming pool, a covered terrace and lawned gardens. The villa has a well-equipped kitchen, good quality furnishings, flat screen tv, dvd and cd, dvd player and British satellite channels.

It is very spacious and comfortable. The lounge is over 10m long, and there is an additional dining area adjacent to the kitchen. At the rear of the property, there is an east-facing porch with a large garden table and benches - ideal for breakfast al fresco and for dinner when the sun is strong in the front of the house. The front porch faces west and it is delightful to sit here looking out over the pool on a Summer evening as the sun sets.

The garden is private and completely enclosed by 2m walls, with lawned areas and shrubs such as hibiscus, bougainvilla and jasmine along the borders. There is ample room to park your car securely inside the property. Entry is via an electric gate and a side gate.

The substantial mosaic pool has steps at the shallow end. It is kidney shaped and measures 10m x 5m. at its widest point. The pool is maintained regularly by our neighbour, John, and the gardener, Antonio looks after the garden and the watering.
