Owner profile
About the owner
Villa Las Rocas is my family holiday home too and it has become a real pleasure to share it with guests, especially when I know that they have enjoyed it as much as I do.
I absolutely love villa, this particular area of Spain, the people and the friends I have here. I spend as much time as I am able and sometimes that will be with my two grown up sons and their friends and partners. When I am not at the villa, I am probably in Surrey in the UK where I live and work as an executive coach, travelling generally or visiting my family in Cape Town.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
In September 2003, I was on Holiday in Zahara de Los Atunes. It was the first time I had visited the area. I had read and heard that it was an unspoilt part of the Spanish coast and very beautiful. It is! It is remote, private, quiet, close to nature and with gorgeous beaches and wonderful locals. And it reminded me of Cape Town where I was born.
I had a vague idea that I wanted a holiday place, little did I know that I would fall in love with this huge villa with spectacular views that needed an enormous amount of work.
By November 2003 it was ours and the labour of love began in January the following year. By May, our first guests arrived and raved about it ...and they have done ever since.
Unique benefits of the property
Las Rocas has an energy about it that makes one feel at home, comfortable and at peace. Everyone is bowled over by the views - they are truly spectacular. You can hear the waves breaking on the beach. If you are energetic you can walk to the beach with ease or lazy like me you drive.
You really get a chance to practise your Spanish as this part of the coast is as its supposed to be - very Spanish.
If your ideal holiday involves looking for energy, the kite surfing mecca of Tarifa is only 30 minutes away, from here you can also go whale watching or catch a 35 minute ride by ferry to Morocco. There are white villages, markets, beach bars and great cuisine which often involves locally caught fish. You can walk for miles into the countryside right from the front door... its heaven!
