Jacine told me that Manolo was quite puzzled when she requested an airing cupboard. Another thing that is not typical to Spain. Manolo thought it odd that she would want a closet in her bathroom. But his attitude is to give his clients anything that they want, and of course this was no problem for him. He also fulfilled their requests for windows that open inwards, soft curves between ceilings and walls, a special toilet to service their swimming pool, and a 7m x 5m garage.

Their master bedroom which is ensuite features French doors which open directly onto the pool area. Ideal for those who want to wake up with an early morning swim.

"Villa Rubia" is built on one level, and measures 173m2, with the additional 7m x 5m garage. Their swimming pool is 8m x 4m. The lounge alone is 40m2. Jacine and Derek say that Manolo will do anything for you providing you tell him what to do.
