Las Tortugas provides flexible accommodation for up to 10 people in one, two or three bedroom apartments or as a whole house. Within the 2500sqm walled garden is a 12 metre pool, a large open terrace and adjacent to a spacious covered terrace with dining table and chairs for 10, and a further selection of comfy seating. There is also a large first floor terrace. From the upper and lower terraces are all-round views, notably to the coast at Garrucha and to the south to the Sierra Cabrera. The nearest neighbours are over 300m away, making Las Tortugas a very private place. There are ceiling fans throughout, and for cooler months, a log burner in the sitting rooms. Sitting rooms have satellite tv and lots of books. Although the beach is only ten minutes' away, the tranquillity of the area is such that many guests find themselves unable to find the motivation for many excursions. No smoking inside. Sorry, children under 16 admitted only when whole house is let to same group.
