From yearly holidays to a place of our own in Spain

A Spanish bug

In 1996, Evelien went to Spain on an Erasmus exchange. She got to know the language and the culture there, and fell in love with the country. That love didn't really come out of nowhere — since she was three, she had travelled to Spain with her parents almost every year. The Spanish bug had bitten early.

And apparently that bug is contagious. First her husband Jurgen caught it, and later so did the children, Lukas and Helena. Over the years, Spain became a place the family always loved returning to.

Until we found this place

A spacious house, a beautiful pool, 10,000 m² of land, mountains all around us, and above all, a lot of peace and quiet. No rows of hotels, no crowded beaches, no mass tourism. Just pulling the gate shut behind you and feeling the pace slow down on its own.

That's exactly what we love here ourselves. Our everyday life is busy enough as it is. Here, for a while, nothing has to happen.

A place to share

We bought Villa Solmira first and foremost for ourselves and our family. And we're happy to share it with people looking for the same thing we were: peace, space, time for each other, and a break from the daily rush. That can be with your family, with friends, or with two couples together. Anyone looking to spend a few weeks somewhere quiet, working in between, will find all the space they need here too.

A wild party weekend doesn't fit with Villa Solmira — there are plenty of other places in Spain for that. We have a good relationship with the people who live in the area, and we respect the peace that exists here.

We chose and furnished this place with a great deal of love. And with just as much pleasure, we open it up to people who want to enjoy it and take good care of it. That way, Villa Solmira doesn't stay just our story — it also becomes a place where other families and friends can make beautiful memories of their own.
