Estrella de Mar is set in a rural location surrounded by farmland and open countryside. It is beautifully laid out with parks and gardens, wide streets and typical Spanish architecture. No building stands more than two stories high. The palm-lined promenade with views across the Mar Menor to La Manga makes a lovely walk. The neighbouring village of Los Urrutias is only 5 minutes walk away and has a supermarket, marina, hardware shop, newsagent, several cafes and restaurants and a weekly market. The Mar Menor is a huge salt-water lagoon, the ideal location for all types of watersports and very safe for swimming. Its calm shallow waters are warm all year round and shelve very gently so it is ideal for small children. There are many beautiful beaches to visit within 10mins drive. The historic cities of Cartagena (20km) and Murcia (30km) are just a short drive away, both cities have much to offer with attractive architecture, historical sites, cafes, restaurants and shops.

Spanish holiday

Carrolie Chelmsford, Essex
Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
This is indeed a perfect holiday home. We were provided with all our needs especially as our granddaughter, 1 year old, accompanied us. The owners provided us with excellent service in the way of helping us to locate car hire and baby equipment. The property was cleaned every week, with clean linen/towels also being provided. The journey planner from the airport (Murcia) was spot on!

However, the restaurants were few but the one we visited at the end of the road from the villa provided us with excellent food and a very friendly service. Providing for the baby was no problem. The area is very quiet just perfect for listening to the crickets of an evening whilst sipping a glass of wine!

The beaches along the coast were indeed very safe for our granddaughter, exactly as the owners had informed us.

jed 7 Wilmslow Cheshire
Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
A very pleasant stay, villa very comfortable and clean however a TV would of been a plus. Disappointed with the beach as very muddy and a digger was on it daily. A car is a must to appreciate the surrounding areas and beaches.
Overall a lovely holiday which we enjoyed very much and would recommend to others.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing
Owner's Response: We have now installed satellite TV at the house which includes channels in English, Spanish, German and French (July 3 2009).

I have been investigating to find out why diggers were on the beach as this is not normal (tractor type beach groomers are normal as they clean the sand). Apparently due to the unusually high rainfall during the winter some of the sand on the beach was washed away - the diggers were there to dump some new sand on the beach. Also the shoreline was muddy for the same reason so the diggers were levelling the shoreline. I'm sorry this disturbed you, however very glad they are working to improve our beach!
