Finca El Sueño

Such a fab stay! Beautiful garden, loved the cats and Jess helped with great suggestions. A genuinely special place.

Such a fab stay! Beautiful garden, loved the cats and Jess helped with great suggestions. This is a special kind of place.

We just loved everything about the place. Its calmness, its beauty, its atmosphere. The cosy interior, the well equipped kitchen and the close-by pool completed this great holiday place.

Our family spent an amazing week at Finca El Sueno. The kitchen facilities were excellent (very sharp knives which is unusual for self-catering) and we enjoyed wiling away the evenings on the terrace as the sun set. Our toddler loved the play area and the pool as well as collecting fallen oranges and lemons. The grounds are beautiful and it feels very rural even though Vejer de la Frontera is a short drive away. Highly recommended

We loved our fortnight at El Cortijo. We needed a relaxing break and the secluded swimming pool with its beautiful flowers was the perfect spot to cool down on hot days and recharge our batteries. The house was spacious and comfortable and we made full use of the barbecue and outside dining area. Nearby Vejer is a lovely hilltop town with a wealth of bars and restaurants - a great place to spend an evening or in our case 3. The beaches are stunning and we didn't see half of them. We'll have to go back!

It is the simplest decision ever to return to El Sueno, and needless to say that in August we made that decision and returned for our third time! The minute we walk through that front door into Mimosa, all the routine and pace of back at home just disappears. We literally flick a switch and revert to traditional Spanish pace - sleep late, eat late, swim late - and the tranquillity of El Sueno allows you to do all those things with extraordinary ease. The owners are just super – so helpful and any issues there is someone there to help as quick as a flash. We’ll 110% be going back!

What I loved about Finca El Sueño is the respect Sean & Tanya have for wild life. This is a unique and protected area and they have created a wonderful garden as well as an island that is now a nesting place for birds of prey & aquatic species in the marshes. One can either marvel nature from your terrace or wander around the 8 acres and take in the beauty of the place.

We stayed in the Finca at Cortijo El Sueno. The farmhouse has 4 lovely double bedrooms all ensuite and is tastefully decorated with all that you could need for a wonderfully relaxing holiday. A lovely terrace adjoining the barbecue area allows for long lazy evenings eating and chatting. The private pool is a good size and sits in a very picturesque area of the gardens adjoining the property. The Finca is well equipped and staying two weeks we had the luxury of a clean and replacement of bedding and towels on the middle weekend. the nearby town of Vejer de la Fronteras is very picturesque.

We stayed in Mimosa and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. The garden and surroundings were charming, there are some lovely cats and the hosts were very helpful and efficient. There is masses to do in the local area. The beaches are fabulous. We will most certainly go back!

Beautiful peaceful private estate close to perfect sandy beaches and charming villages. Great holiday with 2 small children

We had a wonderful holiday here with our nearly-3-year old. Casa Pimienta was very well equipped, beds comfortable, lovely cross breezes even in the heat. We loved the privacy of the gardens but also the chance to meet other families by the pool. Wendy house, slides, swings were much used too! Lots of fantastic beaches nearby with great lunch options. Loved Vejer and fish market at Barbate, El Palmar and Zahara. We're going back next year!

We had a lovely few days staying at El Sueno. The hosts were very helpful providing lots of information on the area, directions to the finca, places to shop etc. We stayed in Almendra and it was so quiet and peaceful. There were other people about although we didn't really see anyone and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The house is equipped with everything you need and is comfortable and clean. It's situation is lovely and the pool area was also very nice. We would like to return sometime as there is so much to see in the surrounding area. Good value.

This was a charming place to stay while discovering the Costa de Luz. If this place is available, take it!!

We've just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay at Alcornoque Casita with our two young children. It was absolutely gorgeous and we loved afternoons by the pool followed by evening BBQs on the terrace in our lovely garden. The local beaches are simply stunning - miles and miles of untouched golden sand which took our breath away. The local town of Vejer was beautiful with lots of fabulous restaurants. We had a really relaxing stay and are already planning to go back next year.

Great family holiday. Stayed in the spacious 2 bed Mimosa with my 2 year old son. Toddler friendly with all the things you need for a little one (cot, chair, potty, etc). Great to have lovely grounds to run around plus the play area and pool became essential daily routines! Really beautiful beaches close by, and the town of Vejer great fun to run around. Relaxing quiet spot. Hardly heard the other 3 families staying at the time; but managed to get the kids together at the end of our week. Perfect if you've got kids and are happy to self cater and want somewhere to totally chill out.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week over the summer and I can honestly say we had one of the best holidays of our lives. The casitas are perfect for a couple - you have the privacy of a villa but the comfort of a B&B. The views are spectacular and your are moment away from Vejer, Barbate and some of the best beaches in the world - wild and unspoilt. The hosts are warm and welcoming and will do everything to accommodate you. This is escapism, culture, natural beauty and peace - all in one. Go!

The cottage and its surroundings were the perfect setting for an incredibly relaxing holiday, it really couldn't have been any better. We had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay, everything had been organised so thoughtfully, from the blankets on the sofa, the sun loungers on our terrace that stayed sunny in to the evening and the swimming pool that had the perfect balance of sun and shade and was protected from the wind on the one windy day we experienced! A very useful book of recommendations was provided covering everything from when the baker arrives to the best beaches.
