Your host

About me

Pleased to meet you! | Encantado!

I'm Sandra. Together with my family I run Casa Lobera since December 1, 2022! That's a great honour because we are very much in love with this place. We have been guests here for the past three summers. This is the place where we came to the conclusion that we wanted to leave the Netherlands. And sometimes things are meant to be.

At the beginning of last year we decided to put our house up for sale. That finally happened in May. And that was exactly the moment when we received an e-mail from Martin and Aletta with the message that they were not continuing Casa Lobera. Everything went very fast because as of September 1st we are already living here. A true rollercoaster. But it fits my life motto 'If you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough' (Mario Andretti).

I live here with my husband-to-be and 2 sons (6 and 7). My three oldest children live in the Netherlands with their father. They can spend wonderful holidays here. It is a paradise for young and old here.

In addition to running Casa Lobera, I will continue to work for a Dutch employer as a communications consultant. A job that I also enjoy a lot. The love for the Spanish language led me to take a language course a few years ago. So I can now make myself (a little bit) understood. Fortunately, understanding what others say and reading Spanish is much easier! But, we have started a new language course. Also handy to keep up with our kids! They go to school here in the village.

On December 1, 2022, Martin & Aletta de Vries said goodbye to Casa Lobera. After eight seasons of running the holiday park with great pleasure, it is time for the next step. Martin continues in the real estate business at Second Home Andalusia. In addition, Martin and Aletta manage houses of foreign owners in and around Canillas de Aceituno, some of which are also rented out. I am proud of the beautiful company that Martin and Aletta have built here. Everything shows that they have put a lot of love, time and energy into it. They have always been a great host and hostess to us. My wish is that you also experience that feeling with us.

I hope to meet you here soon so that you too can enjoy this breathtaking place, the lovely swimming pool, the comfortable houses and our hospitality. Saludos!Sandra
