The large kitchen/diner offers guests ample room for indoor dining, as well as an additional cosy seating area and fireplace.
There’s a rustic, farmhouse aesthetic here at the villa, with sprays of beautiful exposed stonework and tiled floors, and the kitchen is no exception, featuring solid wooden units, plenty of food-preparation space and a range of high-end appliances that include an oven and microwave, kettle, juicer, coffee machine, toaster and dishwasher.

The outdoor areas are spacious and well-furnished, allowing guests to sit back, relax, and soak up the glorious surroundings. A covered outdoor dining area with kitchen space and a built-in barbecue grill provides the perfect spot for enjoying alfresco meals with the whole family, and the furnished, covered porch is an ideal space for partaking in pre-dinner drinks or enjoying a morning cuppa. Guests staying here at the villa are sure to want to make the most of the private pool, which is surrounded by luxurious loungers, and there’s even a small children’s playground area for keeping the younger guests entertained during their stay.Villa Vich is nestled in the hillside near san Carlos, a village which became famous in the 60s and 70s as a hippy retreat. Today, a lot of residents here still subscribe to the carefree, hippy lifestyle, living without modern comforts and embracing a true communal spirit.
The village enjoys a bohemian yet cosmopolitan ambience, featuring a mix of traditional, modest fincas alongside newer properties that have been built to reflect the style and charm of this beautiful location, all surrounding the beautiful white church at the centre of the village. You’ll find a good selection of bars and restaurants in San Carlos, including the famous Anita’s Bar – once famous with the hippy community as they had the only phone in the village – the original booth is still there (and functional!) today. Whether you’re after a sleepy cafe or a fine-dining experience, you’re sure to find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and once you’ve enjoyed some of the local delicacies on offer, be sure to stroll through the village to the surrounding shops where you can browse for colourful fashions and charming souvenirs.
While you are staying in the village, Excellence Luxury Villas recommends heading to nearby Las Dalias (less than 1km from San Carlos) and visiting the original hippy market, where you’ll find larger-than-life characters and vibrant stalls on the ivy-covered terraces and courtyards. During the summer months, the market is there long into the evening, slowly giving way to the nighttime events that take place on the beautiful open-air terrace, continuing later in the village’s club, Akasha, which features incredible acoustics, cool design, and DJs and live acts from around the world.
San Carlos itself is at a junction that branches off to some gorgeous local beaches, including Cala Lena, Cala Nova and the nudist-friendly Aguas Blancas – all featuring facilities including loungers, parasols, and lifeguards, with restaurants and beach bars nearby. Cala Lena is particularly popular with families as there is good access for pushchairs and the disabled, toilets, clear, shallow waters (ideal for the kids!), and pine trees offering shade – perfect for a secluded and relaxing picnic with family and friends.
