About this property

3 bed/bathroom villa with own pool, free wifi, beach, bars & restaurants.

We want to highlight that the area is not built up and over populated with people. The beach is a large expansive area where you can relax with the family. Our standards on cleanliness are high and we will be following the additional cleanliness and disinfection guideline which will ensure a safe area.

We are very close to Portugal and Faro airport is about 1 hour's drive.

Only Saturday to Saturday bookings will be available during the peak months of June, July and August.

An established, spacious, nicely furnished villa that sleeps 6-8 people. The villa has its own private, secluded swimming pool (8 X 4 metres) which is open all year. A sunbathing area around the pool that has the sun all day. There is a courtyard area with BBQ and seating under a wooden gazebo, a lovely place to enjoy your lunch or for evening entertaining.
The undercover terrace at the back provides a comfortable, cool and relaxing area to sit, eat or read, looking out onto the pool and garden. The front veranda is a quiet place to sit and watch the sun go down. It is not a townhouses, so you will enjoy your own privacy, peace and safety!

The villa is a straight 10 min walk to the beach, local shops, tapas bars and restaurants. Prices reflect the local Spanish population and expect to pay 2.5 euro for a glass of wine.
El Portil is on the Costa de la Luz in the region of Huelva. It is also known as the Spanish Algarve. It is an area with stunningly clean, golden beaches, backed with pine trees and faces La Flecha and the Atlantic.

Surrounding area and things to do:
5 minute drive: El Rompido a pretty fishing village and a nature reserve. Punta Umbria a lively beach town both have great fish restaurants.
25 minute drive: Portugal and the attractive border towns of Ayamonte and Villa Real; The monastery and museum at La Rabida to see where the Christopher Columbus set sail.
I hour drive: Seville with its extraordinary charm, history and artistic richness (regular train and bus service from Huelva); The hills of Sierra de Aracena, villages like Jabugo famous for its ham; El Rocio, a religious village with a surreal western feel, as the village streets are sanded and its residents use horseback for transportation. The El Rocío pilgrimage is the most famous in the region, attracting nearly a million people from across Andalucia and the entire country, and beyond. This is around the end of May each year. It is also the gateway to The Donana National Park, Spain's largest wildlife reserve, world class wetland site for migrating birds. The Rio Tinto mines about 45 min drive.

Golf: The villa is next to Nuevo Portil Golf Course so just a few minutes drive to the entrance (a bit far to walk to clubhouse with clubs!). Interesting course interwoven through villas & houses. Variety of holes long par 5's, short par 3's some hitting towards the sea. Very reasonable prices and good twilight offers.
5 minute drive - El Rompido, a stunning 36 hole course with magnificent views over the Atlantic (It is the venue for the Mail on Sunday classic finals) Some have described some 'impossible holes'. Course guide recommended lots of balls!
Nearby 15 minutes is Bellavista GC, which is a parkland course. Newly renovated course with a 'local' club feel. La Moncilla( designed by José María Olazábal) a spectacular new course, also worth a visit.
30 minute drive - Islantilla GC which is a well established course with an excellent reputation for its 27 hole course, and Costa Esuri near the border.
In Portugal - Castro Marim GC a stunning course with great views just over the border, it's a must play course. If you want a real treat try Monte Rei.

A relaxing holiday
We had a lovely relaxing time at the villa. It is on the edge of town, so nice and quiet, but an easy walk to bars and restaurants and about 15 minutes walk from the lovely sandy beach. The town is very Spanish, so there aren’t many English there, but we found that most of the restaurants had one waiter that spoke English. This also means that most restaurants don’t take bookings for dinner before 9pm. The villa was well equipped (although there is not dishwasher) and the addition of the outside drinks fridge was ideal. The pool was great and the outside was private and there were enough sun beds and parasols for everyone. The shaded seating areas were great too and we made good use of the bbq on the evenings that we stayed in. The communication with the owners was very good. Whilst we were there there was an issue with the water tank in the en-suite bathroom. They arranged for a plumber to come round within half an hour of us calling them and the tank was replaced and working again in less than 4 hours!

Nice Villa in great location
Villa Christina is a nice semi detached villa in a residential area, a short walk from great restaurants, bars and the beach front. The villa is a bit tired in places but was very clean and everything in the villa worked. It is a shame that the master bedroom does not have a double or Kingsize bed with appropriate bedding. As per the website, it has two single beds with single bedding on each bed. A proper Kingsize would benefit the villa enormously. The outside eating areas, garden and pool are fabulous and one of the main reasons for us choosing the villa. In this respect, it did not disappoint. There is lots of seating and shelter from the sun which is essential and the pool was lovely and very well maintained. A large outside fridge is a great touch to keep all your drinks cool and easily accessible whilst enjoying the outdoor area and pool. Lastly, the owners were very responsive before and during our stay.

Villa Christina
Rhona & I have stayed in many villas previously and were not disappointed with our 1 week stay at Villa Christina. The villa was spotlessly clean inside & out & well equipped for our purposes. It also had the cleanest swimming pool we have ever swam in. The owners were helpful, friendly & efficient throughout the booking process and their local contact, Raluca, was an absolute delight. The El Portil area is very Spanish with plenty of good quality eating places & beautiful beaches, and we would recommend both the villa & the general area to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

Lovely villa in beautiful area
The villa is lovely and we especially enjoyed the outside space; plenty of room and a good sized pool which was well maintained. It’s within walking distance to lots of cafes and restaurants and we loved being totally immersed into the Spanish way of life. Communication with the villa owners was easy and prompt and they provided lots of useful information.

Why they chose this property

We wanted somewhere close to an airport and a short walk to the beach. We had visited various areas in Spain but when we came across this area we knew this was the place. It is different from the other Costas, and you soon realise why the Spanish visit and holiday here, as it is beautiful! The price of food and drink has not increased in years and neither are they inflated for tourists. We wanted a house that had a private swimming pool and had a large outside space. We looked at the town houses but preferred a private villa to the townhouses as they can be very noisy in the summer and little private outdoor space, they also have a number of restrictions. Our house offers great privacy and space to enjoy the sunshine with amenities and a beach a short walk.

What makes this property unique

The spacious private garden and your own private swimming pool.
Quiet and safe and a short walk to the golden sandy beach. A real Spanish feel to the area. Natural beauty of the beaches and environment
