“Safe haven in a touristic hotspot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We like the southern part of Spain. Especially Nerja, Sevilla, Tarifa and Granada. We were always a bit hesitant to go to the costa del sol. Too touristic with too much concrete buildings. Although we enjoyed our week there (Malaga, beaches, Marbella, nice hinterland) we came to the conclusion that it is very touristic, but that we found our safe haven in Rancho Sentosa. It is unbelievable how Vanessa and Slawek found such a nice place. When you arrive it feels like arriving in a national park. Trees, birds singing and quietness. A true gem! The apartments are spacious and very well equipped. The outdoor kitchen is good as well as the swimming pool. We could not ask for more. So, if you want to explore the costa del sol without spending time in a concrete building this is definitely the place to be. Would we recommend it: yes. Would we come back: yes.

“Could not have wished for anything more....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

We have just returned from 5 nights at Rancho Sentosa and are struggling to adjust back to normality. This place is a haven, so peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. Vanessa and Slavik are wonderful hosts, incredibly thoughtful, never intrusive, and managed to make us feel as though we had the run of the place, whilst still providing everything we could ask for, including great recommendations on local restaurants etc.
I would highly recommend Rancho Sentosa. It offers peace, tranquility, relaxation, yet is very easy to get to, and there are so many places to visit nearby, you can base yourself there and really make your holiday what you want it to be.

“A Magical Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2010

person found this review helpful

Just spent 5 nights at Rancho Sentosa - what a beautiful place, even better than it looks on the website. Vanessa and Slawek are perfect hosts, there when you need them but extremely discrete. The chiringuito is a bonus and we were more than happy to spend our evenings there listening to great music and drinking far too much wine. Definitely a place to return to.

“Idilic, complete relaxation.”

I really can not think of anything bad to say about Rancho Santosa. We only booked for 4 nights, when it was time to leave we didn't want to. It has everything you could possibly need for a brilliant holiday. The apartments are so well equipt and so comfortable. The only time we left was to shop for ideas for meals, shop then rush back to chill by the pool. Vanessa & Slawek gave us such a warm welcome and then left us to holiday. They were there however if we needed anything. They have thought of everything to make your holiday perfect, the welcome hamper in each apartment and the trust bar at the pool area with cold beers and wine was just brill.

Vanessa and Slawek were brilliant hosts and were there when needed them but at the same time let us get on with relaxing when we chose to. They have thought of everything and the appartment was fantastic, really well equipped and tastefully furnished. The location was also great and we could explore the surrounding area with ease. highly recommended!
