Living the dream
Review Submitted: July 27, 2011Date of Stay: July 2011

This was exactly as we imagined it to be. Totally perfect, we could not of wished for better. The villa is clean, in fact imaculate inside and out. The furnishings are very high quality throughout and there is nothing more we would have wanted. It's maintained to a very high standard. The decor throughout is beautiful......simpy put, this was us living the dream for two glorious weeks. The veranda outside leading off from the living room is perfect for relaxing in the afternoon sun or simply taking a break, if you want to, from the hot sun during the day.

The outside has gardens that are kept imaculate with beautiful plants, flowers and trees. The Mandalay is exactly as you picture it. It's a perfect area to chill out relaxing with a drink or 2 and there is even a music system behind the bar. The heated pool is a nice size and the water temperature is perfect. The lights within it illuminate it at night making for a perfect setting for a night time dip, which we took full advantage of. The villa has a wonderful view of Teide itself right to the peak which you can clearly see.

The pictures do not do this beautiful home full justice, you have to experience it to believe it. We will certainly be returning again as we have found a piece of paradise in Tenerife.

You do need a car to get out and about, well we recomend you do, but if you choose not to the villa itself will keep you entertained. There is a few bars and restaurants you can walk to nearby and they are nice with friendly locals. If you do choose to hire a car, everything is within an easy drive including the spectacular drive to the top of Teide.

We cannot recomend this lovely villa enough and Ken & Jacky make for the perfect hosts, they are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them, they really make you feel truly welcome.

Ken & Jacky, thank you so much for the wonderful time we had in your superb home, yes we are coming back next year for sure.

Happy Holidays

The villa is lovely, really spacious and very nicely done out. The outside areas are also lovely and we spent a lot of time by the pool enjoying the gorgeous mountain view as well as the lovely garden.

We hired a car for our holiday and would recommend doing the same. Los Cristianos is only a short drive away and spent a lot of time there or at the villa. There isn't really much in walking distance of the villa but there are plenty of shops and supermarkets a short drive away.

Jackie and Ken were very helpful during our stay and they did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed.

We don't often return to the same holiday places but we had a really lovely time and might make an exception for this place :)

We were so impressed by the very high standard of accommodation and attention to detail. The villa and gardens were spacious and immaculate. The kids (aged 6-9) loved the pool. It was just the right size. The variety of seating area was a plus and we loved the ouside bar 'Manderlay' and bbq with fabulous views of the mountains. We also fell in love with Pepe's pizzas - a delicous treat just up the road. Jacky and Ken really looked after us and little touches like having Sky helped us all have a very relaxing stay. You would have to try hard to beat this villa!

Perfect Holiday

Thank you Jacky and Ken. Our 3 week holiday in your wonderful villa, was just perfect. The area is absolutely superb for our preference of a quiet holiday location. Within easy reach of the town Las Galletas and Palm Mar we couldn't have wanted more. The villa is fabulous, spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard. In fact we were having such a wonderful time we only ventured out 3 times for meals and preferred to eat at the villa, making good use of the BBQ.
The internet access was a bonus for us too.
We are sorting our dates for next year and will be in touch very soon.
Thank you again. Mike and Mel - Rutland/France.

Details on the website were spot on regarding all aspects of the villa, location and information. We were not disappointed!
Ken met us on arrival and showed us all around the villa, inside and out, which was immaculate throughout. I can vouch that the pictures online are replicated 'in the flesh'! Ken advised on everthing we needed to know and left his mobile number in case of any problems, or questions and responded very quickly on the couple of occasions we called. If there was one thing I could have added it would have been an outside dining table and chairs, but that's just my preference.
On departure day we were able to leave our luggage at the villa for the day [late flight home] and both Ken and Jacky were there to let us in to collect it late afternoon - thank you, that was most appreciated.
Although there were 7 adults in our party there was plenty of room for all us, both inside and out. The worst thing that happened was that the dishwasher broke down, but we had washing-up liquid:-) ate with fingers off the BBQ and used serviettes!
I would definitely recommend Casa la Mancha to anyone who wants a very comfortable holiday away from the hustle and bustle of tourist resorts. We found Las Galletas to be a lovely friendly fishing port, waiters around the cafe's/bars at the harbour were most hospitable, as they were at La Romeria restaurant. Siam Park was a huge success and worth the 30 Euros entrance. Although not cheap at 41 Euros the boat trip from the harbour in Las Galletas [Muscat] was really good - even though the sea was too choppy to stop for snorkelling we saw plenty of pilot whales and a few dolphins.
All in all we had a brilliant stay, and if I go back to Tenerife I don't think I would want to stay anywhere else.
This review is only a notch off of an excellent rating from me, as I always think we can all improve on what we do, no reflection of the standard, facilities, maintenance and personal attention both Ken and Jacky offer.
Thanks again for a great week.

Lovely villa and pool, very beatiful garden and barbeque area.
Only 10 minutes to walk to las Galletas with shops and restaurants. Easy to go by bus to America and los Cristianos.
There is much privacy in the garden and we spent a lot of sunny days there.
There was enouhg space for our family of 5 people

Lovely Villa

Many thanks for letting us stay in your lovley villa, it was everything we need for a trouble free week away from home, The kitchen was like home from home with everything in it from boiling an egg to cooking a roast dinner. The villa was furnished to a high standard and very clean throughout, the tv and sky was ideal for a lazy night in, with a takeaway pizza from pepa-ya-pepe, (worth a vist and try his speciality chips) the bedroom was very niceley decorated and the balcony overlooking the pool was very nice to wake up to, the outside bar area was nice for a relaxing evening with a glass of wine or two(3,4,5) the pool with its heating was used all the time, I would recomend this villa to anybody who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of tourist trap holidays, Very quiet and relaxing, The locals were very friendly, and we met some friends of Ken and Jacky who were lovley and nothing was to much trouble to tell us about the best places to eat and were best to go, The short walk in to las-galletas was very nice, the bars and restaurants along the front are both cheap and friendley, I would definetley book this villa again, It was a pleasure to met Ken and hopefully look forward to meeting Jacky next time, once again many thanks for your hospitality.

Totally Superb
On arriving at the villa it was obvious that it was going to be a wonderful place to stay, the garden was beautiful, the villa and furnishings inside immaculate and spotless. The villa felt huge, bright and airy and was extremely homely and comfortable, it also had some wonderful features such as the Mandalay outside where we could sit, relax and watch our 2 young girls (aged 3 & 5 ) play in the huge heated pool, outside BBQ where we enjoyed some Al fresco dining and large terrace area from where we enjoyed views of Mount Teide with a coffee every morning. The children also enjoyed playing darts and occasionally the playstation, however, the pool was always the more favored past time as it was beautiful. We really liked the fact that the villa was set in a very private and quiet location although only a short journey away by car from the hustle and bustle of the more touristic areas like Los Cristianos, Playa de Las Americas, and Costa Adeje. Ken and Jacky were there to meet us and can say that they made our holiday more enjoyable as they made us all feel extremely welcome, they were very helpful and always available to offer us their advise on where to visit, good places to eat etc, nothing was too much trouble no matter what time of the day or night. I would recommend this villa to any of my friends/family and to anyone who would respect and look after it's superior quality as I know they would have a wonderful stay here and Ken and Jacky would make them feel welcome and would be there to look after them.

Fantastic Villa
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The photos of this villa don't do it justice - when you arrive and see how beautiful it is you'll be surprised at how big it feels. The whole property exceeds your expectations in terms of how beautiful it is, the facilities it offers and how comfortable we were for the week we spent there. The location is excellent if you want to visit various areas throughout the south if you have a car but it is very quiet - no traffic and no noisy people around! The bedrooms are huge and very modern. The kitchen has everything you need and even things you don't think you would need. We BBQ'd mostly and it was great being able to eat outside in the beautiful mandalay house - very luxurious and again, not something that the photos really catch the best side of. We're already thinking of booking to come back with family again next year; I'd recommend this property to pretty much anyone, especially if you just want to relax and compared to other similar properties, the price was great too.

From the moment we entered the door we knew this was special. The huge marble hallway was superb. Onto the beautiful living/dining/kitchen areas and then out onto the 'chill out and relax area' (perfect for that early morning cuppa before the kids wake up)and finally to our favourite spot of all ....mandalay and the pool with the view of Mount Tiede!! Bedrooms with double beds so big we didnt have to touch each other (another bonus, when its hot!!) balconies which look out over pool or Mount Tiede, beautiful gardens which the photos do not do justice to and we could go on and on and on..... This is the perfect place to chill out and relax with some fun thrown in for good measure. You can walk (5 minutes) to a lovely pizza bar ( beware the huge brandies!!! ) but we chose to bbq or drive to a bar/restaurant on most evenngs. In Palm Mar 5 minutes drive there is a fantastic supermarket with fresh meat they make great kebabs for you, ask for anything you want. Los Cristianos has lots of reasonable places to eat if you want to budget but for a real treat the Moulin Blanc (White Windmill) is a must. Fantastic food and entertainment at a price but worth every penny. Day out on a boat also fantastic (snorkel with turtles, race dolphins and touch whales... unforgettable) shop around we got a private charter at Los Cristianos for less that the cost of a boat taking 80 people!! Loro Park also a must, go early!! Trip to Mount Tiede again go early but fantastic day out, especially the cable car!! Any down sides????? Not that we know of, Jacky and Ken have thought of everything and if you need anything they are at the end of a phone. We had kids aged from 11-18 with us and they all enjoyed every minute as much as us oldies!! This villa is immaculate with furnishings worthy of a 5 * hotel so if you do intend to take very young children please think about that. If you are looking for a little time to forget the world and pretend you are living the life of luxury this is the place for you! Quite simply stunning!!

Best Holiday Ever

Casa La Mancha is a wonderful villa located very close to the towns of Las Galletas and Palm Mar. The villa itself is more than we expected, beautiful marble entrance with a spacious living room and a very well equiped kitchen which we made very good use of and the lounge terrace was a great place to chill out in after the beech. The bedrooms are immaculate and from the balconies there is great views of mount teide and of course the very private swimming pool. The gardens are very well kept which is lovely and my personal favourite area of all being the BBQ mandalay and pool. We spent many evenings using the BBQ, enjoying each others company and going for a late evening swim. It is approx 15 minute drive to the resorts of Los Cristianos and Los Americas where there is a beautiful beech and many bars and restaurants at very reasonable prices. Three couples travelled to Tenerife from the ages of 23 to 33 and it was a truly fantastic and memorible holiday for all of us. Jacky and Ken were very welcoming and great for any advice needed including bus and taxi services and any other queries you may have about the island. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jacky and Ken and I wouldn't have any problem recommending Casa La Mancha to families, groups of friends, couples, in fact everybody.
David and Monika, Louise, Peter and Monika and Conor the great!!!
