Owner profile
About the owner
Lucinda Norreys was bought up between Southern Spain and Chelsea, London. She manages the two family homes and makes sure that everything is perfect for the guest's arrival.
Lucinda has lived in Spain on and off for 30 years and know about everything you might need to know on holiday or as a resident as she raised her two sons in Spain and knows what makes a good holiday and comfortable living accommodations for all the family.
She will put together a personal itinerary on request to make sure you can do what you like to do on holiday and visit places you find interesting. So please do not hesitate to contact her if you have any further questions.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My family were the first Foreign family to buy in Gaucin 30 years ago. Each house has been designed and chosen with the views and comfort in mind. Warm in Winter and cool in Summer, with privacy.
They first rented a property in the village and took their time before buying the right houses to renovate it.
Unique benefits of the property
Food baskets are placed in the homes so the newly arrived guests have a nice welcome package to start the holiday off in the right frame of mind.
Family members live next door with a 24 hour caretaker/ handy man so if anything breaks it will be mended immediately. Personalized information of what to do and see can be tailor made to fit around your interests to make your stay even more comfortable and interesting.
WiFi has just been installed in both houses in October 2010. We have a special winter rental package from November to May for £1000.00 per month. This is for the gusts that might want to lock up their property back in the UK and retire for the winter in Spain.
We have central heating, which very few houses in Gaucin have so it is super comfortable and ceiling fans for coolness
