During our stay she gave us our privacy and was there when we needed something. Her cat came to visit us every evening and he was really sweet. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet. Sometimes we heard something, but it wasnt disturbing. The nicest thing was the swimmingpool. That was great!! And ofcourse the everlasting sun. Thank you for everything!"

The dutch owners are very good hosts who speak perfect english and live next door should you have problems. It fealt home from home within a few hours, well equiped kitchen, comfortable beds, comfortable living room, unlimited number of towels, and the pool was just fantastic. There are 6 sunloungers, plus chairs and table.And through the satellite tv you can keep up with the football and soaps.
We hope to return again"

Just came back from a brilliant week away, the weather was lovely, the villa was brilliant and the hosts were excellent.
The villa has everything you could possibly need, and the pool is more then I could have expected.
Chiclana is not a touristy place, not everyone speaks english, so speaking even the slightest Spanish will help with ordering in restarants and shops.
The beach is about 5 mins drive away, and again beautiful, We managed to find a little bar down there which is british run, that serves food, Bar Nero - definitely worth a look
The only problem we did have was finding our way - do not rely on a Sat Nav as it dosnt recognise most of the roads and it will get you even more lost - as we did several times lol.
Overall definitely worth every penny - and will be going again next year x

| "We (myself, my girlfriend and 2 other couples who are all in our mid twenties) have just returned from a fantastic holiday at villa casa dina. Having got horribly lost driving to the villa from jerez airport late on saturday evening (make sure you continue to follow signs for algerciras and do not leave the motorway until you see signs marked Chiclana de la Frontera - Barosa) we were greeted very warmly by Monique and Gus who own the villa and live next door.
The villa is gorgeous, even better and bigger than it appears in the photos that are on the website. The 3 bedrooms are a good size there are 2 lovely bathrooms (one which is en suite) the living room is well equipped and has a board games and cards cabinet, as well as digital TV and a DVD player which is handy if you want to escape the midday sun! Probably the best thing about villa though is the garden with its fantastic swimming pool. There is a brick BBQ by the pool and an outdoor eating area too.
Overall, we had a lovely relaxing holiday at the villa and would highly recommend it."

| "Fantastic two week break, property is spacious, clean and well equipped. The pool and surrounding area was a great place to relax. Previous positive comments are spot on so I’ve added some of our thoughts about the area below.
The area is very Spanish, and to maximise your enjoyment you need to live their way. You will not find an English breakfast, but the churros and hot chocolate is a must. Cadiz is a nice place to visit, Sherry tour and city visit in Jerez along with a long day trip to Sevilla is a must. Sevilla is a fantastic city with striking architecture and public gardens, we hired one of the horse drawn carriages for a tour and thought it was excellent value (40euro for 4 people). Conil is a vibrant holiday town with winding streets with lots of places to stop for a coffee or beer, also of an evening there are lots of street entertainers. We found the beach just north of Roche to be our favourite.
Also need to recommend Vejer for a visit, there isn’t much there but for an evening out to have a drink and watch the sun go down it is very nice.
Whale/dolphin watching tours from Tarifa are good, and we also enjoyed a day in Gibraltar taking a taxi tour round the rock to see the monkeys, natural caves, and fantastic views.
From the above you’ll note that you need to travel around to see things, driving around was no hassle, Monique is a great host and will be happy to give you advise.

| "We had a really great week at Casa Dina. The property was spacious, well equipped, comfortable and excellent value for money. As explained, you do need a car to get about, but shops and beach are all within easy reach. The pool was superb, with a big garden area to relax in. There was even a swing chair. Monique and Gus were very helpful and friendly hosts - gave us the space and privacy we love, but always there when we needed anything ... thank you. We hope to return some day and will certainly recommend to friends.
OK, Monique, did that lovely dog ever end up in the pound?!"

| "This was a secluded villa in a small urbanisation just outside Chiclana. Your own transport is needed to get into town or to the nearby beaches. But the area is beautiful and worth exploring.
The rear garden was not overlooked, and the swimming pool was a delight. The accomodation was excellent and very clean.
The owners, who live next door, were extremely friendly and helpful. They made our stay even more enjoyable.
This is a highly recommended place to stay."

| "This villa we would surrely reccomand to everybody !!! we really do not understand what this person ruislip is talking about.
We have rented this villa for the fifth time with our three children (6,6 and 8 years old) and they are completely in love with the place.
There are surtenly no problems with the electricety , the place is in our oppinion very safe. also the host and hostes are very kind and friendly. Everything in the villa is clean and the beds are perfect.
The village Chiclana is a very nice and beautifull town with lots of little shops were you can find all kinds of things.
The host and hostess took my family to the beach were we had a very nice dinner at the beautifull boulevard.SO IT IS A PERFECT PLACE TO HAVE YOUR FAMILY HOLIDAY.
host and hostess thanks for everything"

| "On the plus side, this Villa is spacious and clean. It is tiled throughout which helps to keep it cool. The Swimming Pool is fantastic and the owners very helpful. I was even taken shopping on the first night of arrival. It is adequately, if basically equipped. One or two of the beds need replacing.
Some changes are needed to make the villa safe, however. The electricity supply is erratic, though that is of course true of much of Spain. However, this necessitates constantly resetting the switches on the fuse board - situated at shoulder height in the hallway. The fuseboard has no cover over it at all! Adults washing up in the kitchen, or children coming in from the swimming pool can all touch them with wet hands - a serious accident waiting to happen.
The windows are all protected by steel security grills, which in the event of a fire and with only two exit doors would be lethal. There was no smoke alarm either.
Unfortunately, the estate on which it is sited is not particularly attractive. It is incomplete with many plots still being built on - as we could tell from the constant sound of breeze block cutters and drills from plots either side of us. Chiclana de la Frontera is a higgledy piggledy collection of villas with half finished roads and few pavements - clearly lacking any kind of urban planning.
The villa was very well priced but in view of the above I could not really recommend it."

| "For a peaceful and quiet location Villa Casa Dina is well suited. It is well equipped with virtually everything needed to make a holiday home from home. (Although for English only speaking guests the choice of television channels could be frustrating!)
The owners Monique and Gus were always readily available to assist when required and demonstrated friendliness and kindness."

The owners were brilliant and couldnt of been better hosts, nothing was to much trouble for them. I would recocommend this property to everyone. A bargain."

| "Excellent property. Well equipped with everything you need including a DVD player. Ideal, whether it's used for just staying in the local area and relaxing or used as a base for exploring this area of Spain, as we did. Very pleasant pool and private area to relax around. Located in quiet, peaceful area in the country, away from the road to the wonderful sandy beaches. Short driving distance to main road where it is easy to drive to many other towns and places of interest. We stayed a week (as had already stayed in another part of Spain) but felt we needed at least 2 weeks to explore everywhere in the region. Best of all though were the owners, very caring, honest, open, a great laugh and story teller. Anything you need, they will try to assist you with."

We could not decide between staying at the beautiful villa or heading for the wonderful scenery and beaches. Wether you need excitement or peace and quiet you have it all.We shall definately return as soon as possible (for good!!) P.S Keep the pool warm for us."

There is parking for at least two cars and the kids absolutely adored the wonderful swimming pool! The house is situated a quiet area less than 10 minutes from one of the best beaches we have ever been to. The local town has great bars, great food and really friendly people. There's everything you need for a great holiday all within 15 minutes. We all had a great time and we are definately coming back."

It's got everything we could possibly have wanted. The kids especially loved the terrific swimming pool!!! The local town and surrounding areas have everything you could have possibly have wanted. Lots and lots to do. Fabulous beach!!!! Less than 10 minutes away. Great restaurants, great bars, great food. Awesome golf and tennis. Need a holiday to get over this one. Will be back.
