Casitas Select

Casitas Select is a specialist for villa rentals in rural Andalucia. Back in 1995, under name of Viajes Bonilla, we started organizing round trips for the Spanish market. Casitas Select started its activities in 2004 after some years of searching holiday villas for foreign friends who were looking for something else than mass-market package holidays. As a consequence of its succes, Casitas Select became an independent business unit in 2007.

Our selection criteria are a direct result of what our friends asked us to look for. They wanted to enjoy their holiday “the Andalusian way” and were looking for a relaxing, individual accommodation with good privacy, authenticity, a private pool and a natural environment. Some wanted to be near the interesting cities of Granada, Jerez de la Frontera, Cordoba or Seville, others wanted to be in the mountains or near the beach. So we ended up with a very interesting collection of cottages, farmhouses and villas throughout Andalusia.

From the very beginning, flexibility has been one of the flagships of our business. Our friends didn’t fit in the one out of a dozen package and we expect you won’t either. Our personnel will do their utmost to go beyond your expectations in fitting your needs. We have tried hard (and keep trying) to avoid limitations such as “you should arrive on a Saturday” or “minimum stays of a week”. Honestly spoken, we are yet far from being satisfied and you will encounter some accommodations that do require fixed arrival days etcetera. Be sure that if this occurs, the charm and beauty of the accommodation won the battle over the flexibility-question. For many other inquiries you may have, we can offer you solutions you won’t see on the program, such as special transports, a private guide, catering, a Christmas tree, golf reservations... Please don’t hesitate to ask us if you’re looking for something that’s not on the menu!

This is another question we would like to talk about. We are conscious of the fact that, in case you do not live in Spain, you may have your doubts whether it’s a good idea to book with a Spanish touroperator. Therefore we would like you to explain that the Spanish law provides one of the best protections in the European tourist industry to assure that any money you pay to us is well protected. In Spain, all touroperators have the obligation by law to deposit a bond of 60.000€ and, in addition, all travel agents need to ensure monies paid by the clients with a public liability insurance of €210,000. There are a very severe controls of compliance of this law. We are a fully bonded registered travel agent with C.I.A.N.-number 141308-2 (the Spanish equivalent to the UK’s ABTA, the Dutch ANVR, the DRV in Germany or the French SNAV)

Well, we hope that, after this information, you have got to know us a little better. If there is anything we can do to provide you with more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you very much and hopefully we can welcome you soon in Andalusia!
