The swimming pool and surroundings were stunning and protected by the most amazing climbing plants and fruit trees. At night we could hear owls hooting. I actually cried when I had to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. S.

Fuente del Gallo is a great location &#8211; a single, palm tree lined road that leads to a quiet beach. The garden is a great size, the boys kicking a ball around &#8211; and safe.1 minute from the house is a neighbourhood restaurant that has good food. Cadiz is only a 30 minute drive away, the Torre Tavira and its Camera Obscura was loved by the boys.<\/p>\n<p>The Woodard family stayed in<a href=\"http:\/\/vintagetravel.co.uk\/villa_details.cfm?p_id=511\" target=\"_blank\"> El Chozo,<\/a> Conil de la Frontera<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Great house and great pool!
