“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

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!

“Perfect stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2008

Ranchos Sentosa is a great place to relax in peace or explore the cultural surroundings. The property is conveniently located, near enough to the coast, but far enough to escape the hustle and bustle. The gardens are lush, green and well cared for – bushes of lavender, close the pool, rosemary and other herbs let off wonderful scent. The apartment itself was thoughtfully equipped, from the kitchen utensils to the hamper and fridge contents, to the bathrobes, beach towels and guest directory – it really makes for a comfortable holiday life. In addition to that, the Chiringuita – outside kitchen – offers you a place to barbeque or relax. The supermarkets around cater for any pallet, whether you are looking for home comforts or Spanish specialities (seafood a-plenty). The variety was so good that we didn’t bother to try many of the restaurant recommendations, but had our langoustines, lomo, riocha and fino in the comfort of the gardens. Vanessa and Slavek are great hosts, who have created a serene, thoughtful and very special place to stay.
