offer my "owners discount" which amounts to approximately 25% off fees.
I am happy to book the golf for you if required.
The course at La Torre is 18 holes and was designed by Jack Nicklaus.
A FREE coach runs by timetable to 4 other Polaris courses and the furthest away is 20 minutes.

OTHER PROPERTY OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS AND I GIVE A SAMPLE BELOW OF THE
FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE RE-BOOKED.
Hi Barry & Jenny
Firstly,
a very big thank you to you both for renting your beautiful Townhouse
to us. We had a fantastic holiday and the house was just perfect.
The
situation of the house, opp the communal pool was great and the
closeness to the rear access gate was also good as we used this gate
frequently.

Hello Barry
Thanks for all the info.
You
were asking were we referred by other Londonderry folk, but, no we
werent. Actually, it was your write up on the website that did it for
me - that, and all the great reviews you were given on the site too! On
the website you sounded like you really made an effort for your house
guests, and so far with us that has been true too.
The cheque is in the post.
Many thanks,
Julie Limavady. Co. Londonderry. N.I. 27th November 2008.
ON HER RETURN JULIE HAS WRITTEN:-
Hello Barry
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Apologies for only writing now, but I havent had internet access for a while. Thanks very much for the cheque.
I
wanted to let you know that my brother (Stephen) and I had a lovely
holiday at La Torre. Your house is fantastic (like home from home) and
we would have liked to have stayed longer! The first few days it was
very windy which made it quite cold to play golf but at least it was
dry. Of course towards the end of the week, just before we had to
leave, the sun came out and we were in t-shirts. We played La Torre
twice and Hacienda once. Both were very nice courses, and quiet which
meant that we didnt have to rush round. Thanks for the golf form - it
saved us a bit of money. We visited Murcia one day and drove to La
Manga another, just to see a bit of the area. We also visited the Mar
Menor resort, as friends of ours have bought property there. It was
very different to La Torre with all the colourful buildings. Stephen
would have been happy enough to relax at your house but I got him out
and about!!
If were ever going back that way, well definitely
get in touch to find out if your house is available. I may even
organise a girly golf trip!!
Many thanks,
Julie Limavady. N. Ireland.

Dear Barry and Jenny,
We have just come back from a fantastic holiday!
The house was perfect, it had everything we could possibly need and more!!!
The
location for us with two children was great with the pool so close! We
sat on the roof terrace sipping Sangria and could still keep an eye on
them playing in the pool!!!
Weather was sunny,hot with one day of rain in the two weeks
Vanessa was very friendly and helpful.
Looking forward to next year! Many thanks. Julie and Trevor.

Hello
Barry yes we are back safe and sound and thank you the house was great.
The only improvement would be on the weather which neither of us could
have changed. John was happy in the Irish bar on a night complete with
his cigar, they all loved the golf. Thank you again .
Regards from Susan, John ,Stephanie and Philip.

Hi Barry,
We had a great time and your house was excellent! good standard and well equipped.
Do you have 2 weeks available in september if not we would like to book the same 2 weeks in 2009

Barry
was a wonderful and polite person to deal with, extremely helpful with
every aspect even helping with the best flight deals and car hire.
The Town house was beautiful and we booked twice that year as we were both that impressed with the townhouse.
The house itself was amazing with all the mod cons you could ask for and all furniture was that of 100% luxury and top quality.
We
both felt that Barrys house was in the best loaction on the complex as
it was right overlooking the largest pool on the resort, also the
tennis courts were right outside (barry even has tennis rackets for
use) and the golf par is also just outside to the left.
The resort is amazing for a lovely peacefull holiday with all beautiful beaches and places of interest just a short drive away.
Eveything you can ask for is on this resort and by far Barrys townhouse is beyond superb.
Like i say we booked in june last year and also september and will certainly be booking again this year without a doubt.
Thanks again Barry for giving us the chance to take advantage of such a lovely place.

Hi Barry,
Thank you for a fantastic break.
The house was very impressive and we were very comfortable.
We will certainly recommend your service and accommodation to everybody.
We will go again soon!
All the very best,

Hi Barry!
Thankyou for returning the cheque which arrived this morning.
We both throroughly enjoyed our holiday in no small part due to the resort and the house.
La
Torre itself has been beautifully landscaped and meticulously
maintained. Indeed standing in the middle of the golf course by the
lake on a sunny evening most of my Spanish family found it hard to
believe they were in Murcia - it seemed more like Florida!
The
house itself is nicely designed and furnished very comfortably in
excellent taste. We found it a delight to return to at the end of a
long days touring.
I WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT IT IS THE NICEST HOUSE WE HAVE RENTED IN MANY YEARS.
All in all a very enjoyable experience which lived up to and indeed surpassed the original description.
Many Thanks,
Philip Moloney. Surrey. 6th May 2009

Hi, Barry
Our holiday was fantastic, the weather was beautiful, we managed to all fit in your house without too much organising!
Your
house was lovely and as described, the position being very good for us
as we spent most of our time around the pool which the children loved
and played tennis a fair bit too!
I did move your breakables out of
harms way when we arrived and placed them back in position before we
left, thought it better to be safe than sorry with little fingers
around!
We did tell vanessa about the zip on one of the cots being
broken which she said she would email you about as this is how we found
it, we managed to push it close up to the wall so we didnt need to
bother her with getting another one sorted (seeing as you had kindly
paid for the extra one yourself)
We would love to go and stay again
hopefully in september (after the children have gone back so the
flights will be cheaper!) so perhaps you could let us have any dates
that you have available and we can check flights etc.
Thanks again for letting all of us stay in your lovely house.
Kind Regards
Rebecca 8th May 2009. Derbyshire.

Dear Barry
Fantastic
holiday thankyou. The Resort and your townhouse were perfect. The
facilities of the resort were great ie Golf course superb restaurants
and swimming pools I think theres around 20 on the resort and the free
tennis on your doorstep >The weather was marvellous not a cloud in
the sky for 2 weeks and the rooftop terrace was used everyday. You
should be very proud of your holiday home and most importantly the
resort is finished unlike many of the others where work seems to have
stopped due to the reccession. The cost of your townhouse is very very
reasonable at £325 a week even for just the 2 of us whereas
theres plenty of room for 4 people comfortably making it a very cheap 5
star holiday. Would reccommend El Valle course for a change superb high
desert course cost of 30 euros after 3pm same as La Torre and just 15
mins up road .Also must mention the great beaches at La Kanazaries 20
mins away and the very welcoming sea breezes in the heatwave. Could go
on and on but you have probably heard it all before .Thanks for your
personal service, advice and your present for my 60th. Very much
appreciated. Will not hesitate in contacting you again for a simply
great stay in sunny spain

Barry and Jenny
Thank
you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. The house was spotless
with all mod cons, so handy with kids but I think the most important
aspect of this house is its wonderful position on La Torre. It looks
over a lovely pool, which was never crowded. A wonderful 1st floor
balcony, gives great privacy for sunbathing and you can keep careful
eye on the kids in the pool. La Torre is a very relaxing resort and we
look forward to when we can return. Barry is a great owner, full of
local knowledge and always there for any queries.
Very Best wishes from
Margaret, David, Jack and Sinead. Londonderry Northern Ireland.
Speak soon Barry, Best Wishes and thanks to Jenny

Barry,
We
had an excellent holiday and were most impressed with everything
regarding the house, location and complex which was much larger with
more going on than we expected.
We would love to book again but cant
yet as our children are doing GCSE and a levels next year and we dont
know the dates for exams etc. As soon as have they key dates we will be
in touch to check availability.
Improvements None, everything you need for a holiday was there and dont believe you have to do anything.
Thank
you once again for all your updates and information prior to the
holiday, it was very much appreciated and would happily act as a
reference for your villa if requested.

Hello Barry,
Just a quick note to say thanks for all the arrangements at La Torre.
The golf arrangements in particular worked extremely well, no problems at all,
all bookings and pre-payments confirmed and 3 very enjoyable rounds of golf completed.
Rita made herself known on day 1 and was very helpful, providing the girls with directions to a nearby shopping mall
whilst we were golfing and also provided some restaurant recommendations.
With
average temperatures of 25/26C at mid day and half a day of cloud
amidst pure sun there were certainly no complaints about the weather
either.
What a shame we had to spoil it all by coming home :-))))
Once again, many thanks for your outstanding help.
Peter Russell. 30th October 2009.
