Alegria Villas

Rooms

The 2 smaller villas, Villa Adobe and Villa Palma, snuggle up to each other and are ideal for 2 parties holidaying together. However, they face different ways, so you get privacy too. They lie beside Casa del Lago, which faces the lagoon and has 2 bedrooms over 2 floors. There's also a caretaker's cottage on site.

The most striking thing about the interiors are their lovely, lofty palm-woven ceilings and their earthy-pink adobe walls. The furniture is a mix of comfortable modern (cream leather easy chairs, good new wardrobes) and quirky artisan. All beds have cotton linens with down pillows and comforters.

Villa Adobe has one large bedroom with a kingsize muslin-draped bed, plus a double sofabed and a twin day bed in the living room - perfect for 2, comfortable for 4. A sliding door in the bedroom opens to a small terrace for that lagoon view.

Bathroom fixtures are modern, with a large walk-in adobe-sculpted shower and Neutrogena toiletries. You also get plenty of storage in deep cupboards and shelves, and an iron and ironing board.

Villa Palma offers a separate sleeping alcove with a kingsize bed, and has a sofabed in the living room, which also has leather and rattan bucket chairs around a small table. The house also has a washing machine and dryer.

Largest of all is the adobe and stone Casa del Lago, boasting 1500 sq.ft of terraces, and nearly twice that amount of space inside. The lower floor has a living room with a fireplace, a dining area, a kitchen (with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer), a pantry, a guest bathroom with a shower, and a studio/office; alongside is the master suite, with a kingsize bed, its own living area, a fireplace, a Jacuzzi, a bathroom and wide views towards the lagoon.

The floor above has a very large terrace with sitting areas, a dining area and partial shade. The second bedroom suite has a glassed kingsize sleeping alcove overlooking the ocean and lagoon, and a bathroom.
