Homely, fantastic pool, spacious layout, great aircon, just some first and lasting impressions of this villa.
Situated in a quiet street off the main road through the town, it is a very private but very welcoming villa. The pool is a great asset, having the sun throughout the day. It is a good size, but has an area that is waist deep so great for kids to play in all day long, but if you fancy a dip or swim there’s plenty of room for this too. Very easily accessible with steps down from three sides. We spent most of the day in and around the pool and is defiantly one of the villa’s best features.
The air con is great and if you need to cool off, this is in every room and works a treat.
The internal rooms are very spacious, large open plan living area, 3 bathrooms all with showers and the bedrooms are a big size. There is plenty of room throughout.
Kitchen is a good size as well with a new oven and hob and a large fridge freezer. There is a separate outside eating/patio area with a large gas bar-b-q.
Gill was very helpful before our visit. We arrived at 1:30am but checking in and access to the villa was not a problem and very easy, also has electric gates which are a good addition.
The villa is a great place for a family break.
The nearby town is 5-10 min walk. There was a number of places to eat, Italian, (nice food and huge portions), and Bogart's Tapas Bar, which we visited three times. Great service, great food and very good selection to suit all tastes.
One not to miss is the Jammy Olive. This has some of the best food I have ever tasted. It serves from breakfast to lunch in the early afternoon. Very fresh and high quality. Great service too.
We made sure that we booked a table on our last morning, it is that good !!
We also visited the nearby Argentinian steak house, which is within a short walk. Again, great food and great service and not too expensive for this kind of thing.
The villa is 30 mins from Malaga airport which was easy to reach and sits between Marbella, (15min drive) and Fuengirola, (15mins).
A great place to visit is the hillside town of Mijas, (20min drive), unbelievable views out over the coast and a little oasis on the side of the mountains.
In summary, would definitely visit this place again, was great for what we wanted, private and quiet, but within easy reach of local amenities, lots of larger towns, great places to eat and visit.
5 out of 5.
