Fab modern garden apartment in idyllic hamlet in natural park. Lovely terraces.

Situated in an idyllic hamlet within the magical pine forest of La Brena behind the village of Los Canos de Meca, the views lead through the verdant landscape to the sea and the historic lighthouse of Trafalgar. Casa Margareta offers a very special experience.The tranquility of its natural surroundings makes it a great choice for that relaxing 'get away from it all' holiday, yet the summer 'buzz' of the beach is just 5 mins away. The living space is open plan and boasts a glass wall of four doors opening onto a large, shady patio, filling it with light and allowing the outside-in.The garden terrace made of rustic railway sleepers is great for sunbathing and the perfect place to sip those sundowners. Chill for sure, but we are also ideally located for an incredible variety of activities, culture and adventure.How about walking,horse riding or cycling in the forest; a day out to one of the many famous historical Andalusia villages/towns nearby; or a simple stroll down to Canos beach to take in the sublime view to Morocco across the water


Casa Margareta is unusual in the area, in that it offers the best in contemporary design, modern facilities and comfort in genuinely Arcadian surroundings. This Mediterranean Modern apartment is fueled by solar power, inspired by Corbusier and much cared for by its owner.The large airy open plan living/dining/kitchen area is stylishly furnished with a mix of the modern, vintage and ethnic,.This opens onto the shady covered terrace with a wooden table and 4 chairs for outside dining, and a fabulous L shaped outdoor sofa for relaxing. There are lovely views to the pebble garden, the rural landscape and the sea beyond. The underfloor heating provided by solar panels ensures total comfort in winter and on chillier days and can be purchased separately for cash.

The garden is very special.and one of the highlights of staying at Casa Margareta. It has been imaginatively landscaped with different sized pebbles, wooden posts and Mediterranean architectural planting. A large palm tree is the focus in one corner, leading the eye down towards the sea in the distance. All the neighbouring houses have large,rural gardens too, and so do not impinge on each other in any way. The surroundings are very green at all times of year , the pine forest always an inspiration, the bird and animal life always vital ( including cows with tinkling bells, allowed to roam the forest in the winter), and the light of the Costa de la Luz always happily reminding us of where we are - somewhere very exceptional.

DISAPPPOINTING

Sadly, we were very disappointed with our stay. The house looks good in the photos, the owner being a professional photographer, however the comfort levels were basic, and furniture had seen better days. There was a washing machine. However, there was no clothes line or clothes horse available to dry clothes. You should be aware that the wc facilities are incapable of dealing with toilet paper. There is no bin collection service so you will have to bag and dispose of used toilet paper. The nearest bins are about 2km away. Take care when sitting on the garden furniture. The outside dining chairs were wooden and flimsy, and when my husband sat down on one for the first time, it collapsed under him damaging his back and neck. Overall it is the worst place we have ever stayed.

A refuge of peace

We stayed for 15 nights mid winter and loved the place. It is right on the boundary of the magical La Brena Forest and close to the sea. The sound of the sea is audible all the time despite the lovely bird-song present. The house/appartment has a tranquil feel to it and is beautifully decorated in a personal style giving a sense of an artistic owner.The underfloor heating was essential as we stayed in early January. The place was a comfortable temperature day and night. The garden is full of exotic Mediterranean plants and cacti and has ample little places for sitting in shade or sun. The location is unique and the experience was similar.- quiet, peaceful and restful. If you have the pleasure of meeting the "host" it will add to the experience of a welcoming place to spend time. One thing I would have liked was better lighting in the kitchen area. We would have booked for longer had we known how special the place is. Gratitude for creating this space! Catherine and Eugene

Los Canos

Los Canos de Meca, as we found out, is a surfers' paradise on the Atlantic coast of Spain. After 3 weeks on the Costa del Sol and a week hiking in the Sierra de Grazalema, this was a very interesting change. The overall vibe of the area is very relaxed and due to the time of the year (February) it was not busy which was a plus, but on the downside, there were few restaurants open. The weather was very predictable - sunny most days and temperatures in the upper teens and low twenties. The town itself is a bit run down but it is very convenient as a base from which to explore the area. Tarifa is 40 minutes drive and from there one can easily get to Tangiers, Gibraltar is 90 minutes, and Cadiz, one of the most beautiful cities in Spain is 40 minutes. There are plenty of Roman ruins in the area including Bolonia, Ubrique and right in Canos itself. Our accomodation was removed from the town itself but still within earshot of the surf and was in a small enclave. We rented a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a two story house. The upstairs is occasionally occupied by the owner and otherwise is not rented. The front of the house looks out on a quiet garden and faces west for the afternoon sun. The inside is reached through French doors that lead directly to the kitchen and living room with the two bedrooms and bathroom to the right. The kitchen, which we used extensively, was convenient and included a clothes washer, although no dishwasher. We really enjoyed our stay!

A peaceful week on a wonderful Spanish coast.

We had a wonderful week at this peaceful yet well connected house in the pine forests close to Barbate. The house is stylish in it's design, and perfect for a holiday home - simple and clean, yet cool too! The garden space is great to relax in, and the planting imaginative. Access to both beaches and places to eat and drink is fabulous. Many thanks to Miriam and Brigitte.

Modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung. Ruhige Lage in einer abgelegenen Siedlung. Die Lage des Hauses ist so ausgerichtet, dass wir im September die Klimaanlage (nur im Hauptschlafzimmer) nicht benutzt haben. Die W-LAN Stärke war öfters unzureichend, aber nach Rücksprache mit der Vermieterin sollte dies inzwischen behoben sein. Als zusätzliche gern gesehene Gäste kommen zwei Katzen des Öfteren vorbei. Die Matratzen könnten in weichere getauscht werden (als sehr hart empfunden). Aber insgesamt eine gute Wahl. Sehr angenehm war die Betreuung durch die liebe Hausbewirtschafterin (Brigitte), die für alle Fragen und Wünsche offen war und die sich auch um die Check- in und Out Angelegenheiten zuvorkommend kümmert. Lieben Dank dafür.

Eine traumhafte Wohnung

Wir haben in dieser Ferienwohnung eine wundervolle Zeit verbracht. Die traumhafte Terrasse lädt zu langen Frühstücken oder entspannten Abenden ein, und in der gut ausgestatteten Küche findet man wirklich alles, was man braucht. Im Hauptschlafzimmer gibt es eine Klimaanlage (gegen Aufpreis), was gerade in den warmen Sommernächten sehr angenehm ist.Einen direkten Meerblick gibt es inzwischen nicht mehr, da die Palmen im Garten hochgewachsen sind – aber das hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört. Die himmlische Ruhe im Pinienwald und der wunderschön angelegte Garten mit vielen kleinen Rückzugsmöglichkeiten machen dies mehr als wett.Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den herzlichen Kontakt zu Brigitte, der Managerin. Sie erfüllt einfach jeden Wunsch, hat tolle Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants und kümmert sich mit viel Liebe um ihre Gäste. Ein weiteres Highlight waren die beiden Katzen, die uns jeden Abend freudig begrüßten und, wenn man wollte, auch gern ein wenig schmusten.Wir haben uns hier von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Quiétude et confort

La maison librement inspirée de l’architecture de Le Corbusier est agréable à vivre. La grande pièce qui fait salon, salle à manger et cuisine est largement ouverte sur la terrasse ce qui donne l’impression de toujours vivre au contact de la nature environnante. Toutefois, il est faux de prétendre comme le dit le texte qui présente la villa Margarita qu’on a une vue sur la mer : la vue se limite au jardin devant la maison et est obstruée par les maisons voisines. Pour voir le phare de Trafalgar et la mer, il faut monter sur le toit de la maison. Le jardin avec sa terrasse couverte est un bel endroit pour flâner, prendre l’apéro et déjeuner. La terrasse est toujours à l’abri du soleil ce qui en fait un endroit idéal. Nous en avons bien profité et les deux chattes omniprésentes sont charmantes La cuisine est bien équipée mais nous avons rapidement découvert qu’il y avait un manque de nettoyage évident du côté de la vaisselle&casseroles qui nous avons dû relaver au complet. La maison est super calme et nul bruit n’est venu perturber notre sommeil. Le chemin forestier de 2km pour se rendre à la villa est parsemée de nombreux trous, il faut y rouler lentement. Mais nous avons passé un excellent séjour ici et la région mérite bien d’être explorée. L’accueil est sympathique et apprécié.

Erholung pur

Wir hatten wunderbare Tage in Miriams Apartment mit tollem Frühlingswetter, so dass wir den schönen Garten und die Liegen nach unseren Wanderungen zur Küste und durch den Pinienwald oft genießen konnten. Kater und Katze des Hauses haben uns hierbei oft liebevoll Gesellschaft geleistet. Empfangen wurden wir von der sehr netten und aufgeschlossenen Hausmanagerin Brigitte, die in der Nähe wohnt und immer ansprechbar gewesen wäre. Da in der Wohnung aber alles tip top in Ordnung war, mussten wir ihre Hilfe nicht in Anspruch nehmen. Unser Bett war super, das Meer in der Ferne konnten wir nachts leise rauschen hören. Danke Miriam und Brigitte für die fünf Tage in eurem kleinen Paradies. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
