Owner profile
About the owner
We have lived in Spain for 25 years so know the area really well and can answer any questions you may have about activities, sightseeing, shopping. My husband, Robbie, has built and designed his own homes both in the UK and here, this house being no exception and it really is his crowning achievement full of many personal touches. We have raised three children here who are now in University in England and usually spend summers there which is why we rent our house out during this period. However we are always on hand to meet and greet our guests and at the end of a telephone to help with any queries. We are sure you will have a magical stay in Karibu and will do everything to ensure it's a holiday of a lifetime.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Sotogrande is the most beautiful location on the Costa del Sol, it is very desirable and much loved my the professional class of Spaniards who choose this as their number 1 holiday destination. It not only has natural beauty including the River Guadiaro estuary, golden sand beaches and woodland, it also offers every kind of sport within 10 minutes drive, including golf, polo, horseriding, paddle tennis, water sports. It has its own marina with many restaurants and bars and local village with all amenities necessary for a comfortable stay, including 2 upmarket supermarkets.
Unique benefits of the property
The property is situated in a most tranquil and beautiful setting, it affords total privacy and the only noise you will hear is birdsong. For nature and bird lovers it is a perfect spot with many unusual birds and animals such as the colourful but noisy Jay, mongooses and salamanders. There is a private gate at the rear of the garden that leads straight out to a little stream and a woodland walk. However you are only 5 minutes drive away from all the amenities you could wish for, including a vibrant nightlife at the Port for the younger guests. Taxis are plentiful and reasonably priced so no worry about drinking and driving - although most of our guests prefer to spend the long summer evening by the pool having a barbecue or sitting up at the outside bar near the hot tub.
