About Nic

- I am a real estate developer and investor, and am also involved in publishing, media and photography.

- The houses we rent in Marbella, Tuscany and Cornwall are all our private homes and we invite you to enjoy them as if your home from home.

Nic purchased this villa in 2002
Why Nic chose El Rosario

- Location, location, location: outstanding views, hi-quality build (German construction company), huge garden, peace, panoramic yet secluded jacuzzi, quiet yet close to everything in Marbella and with immediate golf course access.

- I have been coming to Marbella for some 25 years: there are very few properties which combine all these features and such spectacular views. That made the decision to purchase very easy.

What makes this villa unique

- A country retreat within the sound of the sea and close to everything in Marbella.

- Peace and space, perfect for relaxation: hear the birds!

- No less than 4 separate and secluded sun decks in a huge natural garden with olives and cork oaks

- Secluded jacuzzi deck with outstanding views surrounded by nature.

- Playing golf without having to get into the car.

- Ideal for entertaining: a huge kitchen and large reception areas.

- Ideal also for doing nothing!

45+ golf courses within 45 minutes drive, including Valderrama, Sotogrande, Las Brisas and adjoining Marbella Golf

The tennis club is only some 3 minutes away.

Within 2 hours or less are the cultural marvels of Alhambra at Granada, Ronda, Seville/Sevilla, Córdoba, Cádiz, Gibraltar and Málaga (Picasso's birthplace).

Morocco is only 35 minutes by fast ferry from Tarifa, where you may also enjoy the best surfing, wind and kite-surfing in Europe.

The Costa del Sol caters for a great variety of sports other than golf and tennis - nearby Funny Beach offers go-karting, quad biking and activity entertainment for children.

We can provide catering in-house if you want to hold a party or dinner-party effortlessly.

Important note: the August 2012 fire raged around our area, but fortunately our villa and its beautiful garden escaped.

Golf: This villa is especially suited to golfers. You can walk to the 8th tee of Robert Trent Jones Snr's Marbella Golf in a couple of minutes or drive to its clubhouse (or adjoining Santa Clara's) in a few more.

The rest of the coast from Valderrama & Sotogrande to Málaga overflows with courses to suit all players' needs. Santa Clara also features excellent practice facilities.

The house is the Marbella base of NZ tour pro and course designer Greg Turner, and is owned by the editor/photographer of the acclaimed Pocket Guide to Golf Courses: Spain & Portugal, which was written in the Blue Bedroom. A free copy of the book is given to every golfer staying at the house. We are extremely well connected within the Iberian golf world, and can arrange tailor-made golf or golf and culture holidays, from a self-catering basis right through to a tour hosted by Greg Turner or other golf playing/course design/photography professionals, as suits the requirements of the party.

Heaven at Villa Las Colinas

5 of 5
Submitted: February 12, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
This is pure luxury. Where to start? A swim in the pool, a glass of bubbly in the jacuzzi whilst we watch the sunset or just watch it from the terrace off our bedroom? Las Colinas is extremely spacious, whether in living or sleeping areas and all fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality. The 5 bathrooms (4 en suite) are beautiful. The whole villa, the large kitchen included, is extremely well-equipped with all mod cons - that is, if you haven't chosen the option to have the cook make you a delicious and authentic meal (better Andalusian food than at any restaurant I have ever eaten in!). Santi, the maid was most kind and helpful. Dining on the large terrace overlooking the pool and extensive gardens was a pleasure but dining indoors was also lovely in the bright and spacious dining area which leads off the main living area. Quite frankly, the photos just don't do this place justice!
From start to finish this is a slick, efficient, yet friendly organisation. Nothing was too much trouble for William and Arnie who dealt with our booking. Having signed the contract, they sent us a 50 page comprehensive information pack which introduced us to places we would have never found on our own, including good quality restaurants which weren't too expensive. One of our party was a golf fanatic and William (who is very knowledgeable about the golf courses in this neck of the woods and has written an authoritative guide to the courses of Spain & Portugal) was able to advise and arrange a few rounds for him. He is thinking of returning with other golf fanatics!
This is a lovely place for a holiday and we found the weather warm and sunny in February. Having heard that Seaforde also have a villa in Tuscany am considering this for our next holiday. Maybe we'll go there for the olive harvest.
Owner's Response: Rosey
Thanks for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. The Marbella weather in February this year has been absolutely gorgeous: while the rest of Europe has frozen, we have had wall-to-wall sunshine every day. We are particularly keen to encourage others to holiday with us at this time of year. Now is the best time to use our villa as a base for either holiday golf, or to see all the fabulous historic sights of Andalucia (Granada, Seville, etc) with no worry about queues or heat. Glorious light and strong winter sun.
Thanks also for plugging our 'information pack'. We are happy to share our Spanish secrets with our guests, and do the same for our properties in Cornwall and Tuscany. The same 'no-queues' advantages apply to the wonders of Tuscany as well. Come and see us there next time.
William

Fantastic vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: October 19, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
I stayed at this villa in July 2011 with 10 other friends – a combination of mid-40s singles and couples. We had an amazing time. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The villa itself was gorgeous and clearly built to high standards with marble flooring, luxury bath fixtures, powerful air conditioning, and a large well equipped kitchen. It was ideally situated for a quick trip to the beach or for day trips to Rhonda, Granada, Seville, or Gibraltar. We also spent a good bit of time just lounging by the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants in El Rosario and down the hill along the beach. But don’t pass up having the caretaker, Santi, cook you a meal or two at the villa! She did an amazing job. We would definitely hope to come back and visit again. Cars are definitely required as there is not much within an easy walk of the villa.

Marbella 25th June

Submitted: October 14, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
Our family, all ten of us, had a fabulous time on this property and in Marbella. It was the exact getaway we all needed. The best thing to say about this house, is it is exactly as it appears on the internet - it's beautiful, has great views, plenty of room, excellent internet connects and close "enough" to the beach. The local beach is lovely, not too crowded but plenty of amenities, restaurants, bars and amazing croissants!! We rented a car so went back and forth to the beach almost every day. We cooked for ourselves several nights and the kitchen is well stocked. The local restaurants are very good, the paella for 4 feeds 6 at the beach! The city of Marbella is beautiful, about 15 minutes away, and provides great restaurants, shopping and a very "busy" beach. We'd rent this property again if we were on the costa del sol again.

Close to Everything/Brand New

5 of 5
Submitted: November 1, 2010 Stayed: October 2010
I stayed at this property with my sister and our husbands. I had never been to Delray Beach before and what a treat. Everyhing you could want to do is right there. The house sits in a private neighborhood tucked away but is less than five minutes from downtown Delray and the beach. When you get there you can enjoy cafes, fine dining, shopping, sightseeing, and the fabulous beaches. When you want quiet family time, you go back and have privacy with your own deck, dock, grill, and hot tub. The website ad said it was Brand New and it wasn't lying. Everything was new and it felt like living in a model but so homey and comfortable. It was perfect and I wanted to stay! Sandy-Virginia

Great relaxation/place to gather

5 of 5
Submitted: October 31, 2010 Stayed: October 2010
I stayed at this lovely location with my husband and sister and her husband. We were in Florida to celebrate my husband's birthday with a few of his college friends who live there. I had 3 other couples over for a "little gathering" to surprise my husband. It was the perfect setting. The temperature was perfect, we had the patio doors open and the breeze was fantastic. There was so much room to move around and so many places to sit and spread out while still being together. What a beautuiful and relaxing time. We loved it! Shayne-Maryland
