Villa Singular.
La Calilla 15, San José, Almería.
Great things come in small packages, and they don't get much greater than Villa Singular. This little B&B is an absolute dream, perched above the water's edge in San José. Clean, modern style blends beautifully with the character of a traditional small Spanish fishing village.
An infinity pool lies at the heart of Villa Singular, with just an imperceptible glass screen to separate it from the Mediterranean Sea below. There's more though, as every room has a private balcony with a sea view and there's a rooftop terrace too.
One large room serves as the breakfast room and lounge. Floor to ceiling windows take the fullest advantage of the position, with views in one direction into the bay and in another straight out to sea.
Five double rooms are all oriented straight towards the sea, ensuring the sort of views that money can't buy. Spacious, comfortable and stylish, each room has a private balcony, en-suite bathroom and air-conditioning. The one suite is even more special, with more space, more style and a big terrace once again facing the sea.
The nearest beach in San José is just a two minute walk away while the centre of the village with bars, restaurants, another beach and the marina are just a few minutes more. The coast of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park is famous for its remote sandy beaches, always uncrowded as you have to walk the last bit to reach them. Just around the corner of the Cabo de Gata cape are the salt pans where flamingos congregate in large flocks. Inland is the Tabernas desert where many films have been made (you can visit the sets of some of the most famoous spaghetti westerns).
