We had the most perfect stay at this beautiful villa in Spain. Everything was exactly as described, and the attention to detail was truly incredible. The villa itself is luxurious, comfortable, and immaculately presented. The location is ideal — close to local amenities, restaurants, and attractions, yet wonderfully peaceful. The outdoor space and views were fantastic, and we loved every moment spent there. A special thank you to Vicky, who was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning to this villa again — it’s an absolute gem!

Me and my family, 8 adults and 3 children, spent a week at this villa. I must say that it was perfect. Everything from the easy check-in, the cleanliness of the villa, large rooms, wonderful pool with plenty of space for sunbeds, tables and barbecue area. The area around the villa was very quiet and we had a fantastic view of the sea. So, I would highly recommend this house, it was Perfect! Lars

Relaxing family holiday

We had a lovely stay with all the family ranging from grandparents to small children. The villa is modern, clean and very well equipped with a comprehensive booklet with all the info you may need. Unfortunately there was quite a lot of building work going on nearby with several hours of heaving drilling most days which made it difficult to relax by the pool at times. We appreciate this was out of the control of our hosts and overall we still had a lovely time.

Great Villa

We were a group of 6 adults and a 2 year old and a 3 month baby. The villa was super clean and well equipped. Very often we hire villa's and there are not enough sun loungers but at Peter and Sue's place had more than needed. Lovely pool at a great temperature. Plenty of beds to accomodate large groups. Peter was very easy to comunicate with. The Villa is about a ten minute slow walk downhill to some bars and resturaunts and a supermarket. Lot's of harbours close by with nice resturaunts and bars. Our favorite area to eat was La Cala de Mijas just a 6 minute taxi ride. We all agreed we would recommend this villa and would re visit if in the area.

3 generations, aged 11-79. Great property. Lots of space to spread out have fun and relax. Really enjoyed the dining area outside which could seat 12( the table extends) super bbq and outdoor sink/ prep area.Location super as you could walk to beach in 10 mins. Loved Restaurant Antonio in Miraflores had breakfast and seafood lunches there.Cala deMijas for fun and Dona Lola for restaurants which could seat big groups.Sendor Litorel good for jogging and walking. All very easy! Especially for the grandparents who couldn’t walk far. Be aware that the bedrooms are either upstairs or downstairs and folk will have to negotiate stairs. Well equipped and would thoroughly recommend!

The Best

From communication with owner to arriving, this property is the best we have stayed in. The house is clean, everything you need is there, the welcome pack the owner sent was so thorough it alleviated ant of those worries you get when being the one responsible for the booking. We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children under 8. The outside BBQ area is wonderful, the house is spacious and allows everyone to do their own thing. The pool is large with plenty of sun beds and space around it. Location is great, quiet residential area short walk to well stocked supermarket and prices are very good. Beach is within walking distance, bit hilly but the kids only complained once when it was very hot. Few minor issues, no gas in the BBQ bottle but quickly resolved with prompt response from agent. Would definitely recommend. Thank you x

Beautifully appointed villa

This villa lives up to all the pictures! It is extremely well equipped-plenty crockery, cooking equipment, washing facilities etc. We are a family group of 10, ranging from 2 to 70+, it was suitable for us all. The seating, lounging and eating areas are generous and comfortable - we made good use of the outside kitchen and super BBQ but the most popular facility was the pool. It isn’t heated but that didn’t stop the children at all, especially as they warmed up in the sunshine. The slight draw back was the hill - ok going down to the beach, restaurants and shops - but could be hard going getting back! There is a taxi rank at the bottom if carrying shopping up the hill is too daunting. We thoroughly recommend this villa- all our queries prior to our visit were answered fully and promptly and everything was done to ensure we had a great holiday. Thank you.
