We're just back from a week-long stay. It was a last-minute booking, and everything was ready when we arrived. Really, we wanted to relax for a week.
The villa is well located, an easy 30 min drive from Malaga airport. Everything is relatively new; the house is tastefully decorated and looks exactly like the pictures.
The house is on a street of similar contemporary-style houses, and there is a view of the sea from the master suite and pool/terrace area. The pool was a great size, the kitchen well equipped, and the furniture incredibly comfortable. We only used the master suite, but the bed was incredible. The basement room with a large TV was a nice touch for evenings. The air conditioning was needed and very effective.
There is ongoing construction in the immediate and distant surroundings. This led to building noise Mon-Fri, but it did not disturb us while in the house. There are neighbours all around you, and you can expect to hear them.
As for the town itself, there is a steep hill walk to get anywhere; there are 3 supermarkets within 5 minutes drive, and we chose to use our car for all our journeys. Also, free parking down at the beach, which is not far away at all.
We did venture out beyond the town - to Frigiliana and the unmissable Alhambra in Granada - both beautiful scenic drives through the mountains. But if all you want to do is sunbathe, you'll find this is an ideal spot to do it.
