Just back from a fantastic week at this villa. From booking till arrival owner was very helpful with any queries, even arranged transfer from airport for us.The villa itself is right in the centre of La Cala a stones throw from the beautiful beach with bars and restaurants all close at hand. Everything you will need to make your holiday special was supplied from comfy beds to warm showers ceiling fans and aircon in every bedroom.The sunbeds on the roof terrace with views of the sea were a great place to chill.Would not hesitate to book this villa again
Good communication during booking and pre holiday period, and the accommodation was lovely and very central. Helpful owners, and useful info and beach paraphernalia for use in the property, and the property managers left us to ourselves but responded quickly when asked. I would recommend this highly . Lots to do for families in nearby areas.
Had stayed in La Cala multiple times so knew in advance that this house was perfectly located but having spent time there itâs amazing how much that added to our stay. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. We will hopefully return. The owner was very helpful, replied to requests in a speedy fashion. Allowed early access on first day as we were early. Great stay
We had a great week in La Cala, the property is in a very central location and also very close to the beach. The whole property was well equipped although we didn't actually cook anything during our stay as the local bars and restaurants were very reasonably priced. I would definitely return. Many thanks to Richard and Carole
Richard was excellent to deal with, always answered any queries my parents had before they arrived.
House is in a perfect location. Directly opposite a lovely coffee shop and 1 minute walk to the beach and all restaurants.
Not a reflection of the house at all but my parents were a little cautious with the internal stairs but not a problem for anyone without any mobility issues.
Lovely and clean property, my parents would definitely stay again
From the initial contact with Richard and Carol to our departure nothing could have been done any better. They were so helpful and obliging. The villa was immaculate as it has been for our previous two visits and as soon as I get home Iâll be booking again for next year. I love Mijas,everything is so convenient and the people are very friendly. The bus service to Fuengirola and Mijas Pueblo is very good and cheap that there is no need for a car.I canât praise the area enough and in particular Richard and Carolâs helpfulness and friendly assistance. A wonderful fortnight again and looking forward to next years holiday.
We stayed for 5 weeks. Weather not the best but still got a good sun tan and there was heating in home. The roof sun terrace was really good once on sunbed below the surrounding walls out of wind but hot when sun out, in summer probably too hot but great for winter weather. The home has everything and more than needed, UK. tv with separate movie channels, great for when just staying in and relaxing. There were a lot of bars/shops/restaurants around property, we did not hire car this holiday, as so close to everything and the beach just around corner. This is one of the best homes we have rented, been coming to Costa Del Sol for a while now. The owner was a pleasure to deal with, doing all to make sure our holiday went to plan.
My husband and I have just returned from a most enjoyable week in this lovely small town of La Cala. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything one could possibly require - 2 sparkling new bathrooms with excellent showers and a spacious, new, fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms all had large wardrobes and plenty of drawer space too. To be honest, we didn't really use many of the facilities as the house is so well located within a few yards of the beach and the many bars and restaurants of the town that we spent most of our time out (apart from the 1 day when we had torrential rain for 12 hours!). We will be back soon. Jan and Bob Parr
Very sorry to leave! We spent almost 4 weeks here and wished we'd booked more. The location is simply amazing, walking distance to the beach, restaurants, supermarkets and bus stop. No real need to hire a car.
The house had everything required for our stay and the tv package was superb. We are pensioners so didn't require a vibrant night life, so this was excellent for us. Wi-fi good too. Richard and Carole were very accommodating, arranging our taxi from the airport and also booking our Christmas lunch at their favourite restaurant. We made good use of the roof terrace, which requires a little care on the stairs, but perfectly manageable. It is only a surgical operation required this year that has stopped us so far, from booking for 2023 . An absolute gem of a place, only regret that we hadn't discovered this years ago.
Excellent property, good order, very clean, convenient to town and beach.
A few minor niggles. Toaster didn't work. Now that the street upgrade has taken place off street parking anywhere near the property could be very difficult. At the moment only a small car (Skoda Fabia) JUST fitted into drive which was OK for us but would be impossible for anything larger. TV failed completely when it rained on the satellite dish; not a problem in the summer, hopefully, but annoying for the "rainy season". But don't let this put you off. We've stayed at Cala de Mijas for the last 7 years and this is the best property we have found so far and I'm sure the owners will fix the very minor faults we found.
Firstly this property is in a great location and close to all the bars and restaurants and beach. Very clean and good comms with owners and house manager when we had an issue with the ac.
However the neighbours think it is acceptable to leave their dog outside 24/7 barking and howling and living in its own dirt which meant we were unable to use the outside space due to the noise and stench and also did not get a full nights sleep all week (due to the barking exacerbated by the festival which went on until the early hours for 3 days surely not reasonable). This is clearly not the owners fault but surely the cleaners/ house managers/ other guests are aware of this situation. In addition the stairs to the solarium are treacherous and an accident waiting to happen - I dread to think what would happen if someone slipped (a two storey drop).
Unfortunately not the quiet restful holiday we needed and planned for.
Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt, wenn man gerne zentral wohnt. Und der dazugehörige Parkplatz ist sehr hilfreich.
In den letzten Jahren wurde viel in das Objekt investiert und das Haus hat daher einen weit ĂŒberdurchschnittlichen Standard.
Ausstattung und Sauberkeit sind ebenfalls hervorzuheben. Die Heizung hat im Februar zuverlÀssig funktioniert. Das haben wir auch schon anders kennen gelernt.
Wie auch schon in den anderen Kommentaren erwÀhnt, ist auf der Treppe zur Dachterrasse entsprechende Vorsicht geboten.
Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir gerne eines Tages wiederkommen.
Stayed for 10 days at the villa and had a great time . The accommodation was exactly as described and was very comfortable. Location was central to the beach and walking distance to great places to eat and drink . Would definitely go back again .
This townhouse was in the centre of town with a parking space for a small car which was a bonus.
There were plenty of pots and pans etc. with a dishwasher and washing machine.
There was English TV and good WiFi.
From the moment of booking Charles & Carole corresponded with us through HomeAway from arranging taxi transfer (at a reasonable rate) to giving us all the information we needed.
The property Manager Graham was really helpful & was quick to respond to text messages.
The bed in the main bedroom was really comfy & the bedrooms larger than most Spanish properties. The top terrace has lovely sea views.
The house is in a perfect location within 100 meters of the beach & close to many really good restaurants & a superb bakery.
We felt really safe in La Cala de Mijas even walking home late from restaurants. In short a really lovely house in a lovely location.
Thank you!
Just back home in Norway after 14 days in La Cala. What a wonderful stay. Perfect location, just a minute walk from everything but still quiet. Lovely bedrooms, all we needed in the kitchen and a roof terrace to enjoy. Fantastic service from Richard when we had questions, he quickly arranged a taxi for us from/to the airport. Great service. Must go there again.
A fabulous holiday in a gorgeous location and a home from home.
We have just arrived back from a weeks stay at this lovely home.
Richard and Carole are wonderful hosts who have thought about everything that you might need for a holiday home from home.
The location couldnât have been better, close to all the local shops, bars and restaurants. The beach is a very short walk away and there are lots of lovely places to eat and drink.
We spent time every night either at the local park or the play ground with our little girl who loved that they were so close.
We canât wait to come back now we have found this wonderful home.
Just home from a fabulous holiday at Richard and Caroles villa. It is truly a home from home with everything you need and in a fantastic location. Will definitely be back!!
We currently live in Yorkshire and have 2 grown up children. I have run my own business and my wife teaches young children in our local school. We spend as much time as we can in La Cala as it has been our second home for many years.
We have loved coming to La Cala for our holidays for many years and its convenience and safety has always been paramount for bringing up our 2 children as they were able to access the beach independently from an early age. The local people are so friendly and we feel very much part of the village community.
We have enjoyed this property because of its stunning location and its near proximity to the beach. However with the availability of a car the whole of Andalucia is a fantastic place to explore from La Cala. You can be skiing in Sierra Nevada within 2 hours, Gibraltar is only an hour's drive and the city of Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, with its fabulous architecture and history is only a 30 minute drive or a pleasant coastal train ride from Fuengirola.
