From the moment we found Villa Turrion on VRBO we just knew we had found a gem and couldn't wait to escape the lockdowns and miserable weather to start our vacation in sunny San Pedro.
The host, Lee, was communicative, responsive, incredibly friendly and helpful, from the moment we booked until days after we left, a true rarity, much like her absolutely top notch villa.
Nothing was too much trouble : want to go fishing, ask Lee for recommendations and a few days later we're hauling in a veritable feast for ravenous consumption, cooked on the fantastic outdoor bbq in the equally impressive outdoor space.
Want to watch the Olympics in English? Lee found a way to sort it out.
Arriving on an early overnight flight and need to find somewhere to crash for a few hours, don't worry Lee will go above and beyond to help you find a solution.
The villa itself is very spacious, plenty of room for our two families of four, there was even a spare self contained unit behind the pool we could have used if we felt cramped, but safe to say we did not. The pool table, fussball and ping pong went over extremely well with the kids and the pool and relaxation areas were a hit with everyone. (Everything is exactly as depicted in the photos)
The beach is a five minute stroll, and had miles and miles of boardwalk to explore with ice cream shacks, restaurants etc. Several of us enjoyed morning jogs into Puerto Banus before it got too hot to do much beyond lie by the pool.
San Pedro itself is a little bit further but easy to get to for any shopping needs for adults who don't mind the walk and kids who've been promised ice-cream! (Otherwise you can always hire a car to get around - or get things delivered from the local mercadona if you plan far enough in advance)
Having stayed in top notch hotels and rental properties around the world, from Ritz Carltons to Waldorf Astorias etc. the little touches that make the difference between feeling like you are staying at a four star place and staying at a five star place are all present here - great room darkening blinds, effective air conditioning when needed, good water pressure, nice amenities, fluffy towels, all the kitchen equipment you could need both inside and out, unobtrusive groundskeeping and pool maintenance, the list goes on and on.
Overall, I can't emphasize enough what a wonderful vacation we just had, and will be sure to recommend Villa Turrion to anyone who might ask!
