Question - what’s the best way to celebrate your 60th Birthday?

Answer - gather all the family and take them to stay at Casa Milla!

18 of us are just back from a 2 week Easter holiday and we have had an amazing stay in this great villa. The older cousins (ages 7 – 13) especially loved being together in the bunk room (with an extra z-bed), and we all made good use of the pool and tennis court facilities. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to cook for a large group and there was more than enough glassware, plates, bowls and cutlery for us all. We especially appreciated a good range of plastic items which could be used for the younger children or by anyone who wanted to take food or drink down to the pool area.

Casa Milla is about 10 minutes’ walk from the Puerto Calero marina, with some high-end shops, a small but decent supermarket, and a wide range of excellent, good value restaurants and bars, most of which are very child-friendly. Puerto Calero is also the starting point for several water excursions and activities, including the ‘Submarine Safari’, and the Catlanza Cataraman, both of which we would recommend without hesitation. Most other organised tours / excursions can be joined at the nearby Hesperia hotel. It’s a short taxi ride into Puerto del Carmen (or just over an hour’s walk…)

I made my booking for the villa early last year, and Camilla has been very helpful and informative all the way through from my initial enquiry. She always responded quickly with answers to my questions when I contacted her.

So in summary, Casa Milla was a great choice of accommodation for our family group, with a caring owner who is very committed to ensuring that everyone who stays there has a positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend booking this villa, and really hope we will be able to return in the future.

A few tips:

• If travelling at this time of year (March / April), I would recommend paying the additional cost to have the pool heated during your stay.

• Don’t let too many of your group access the wifi simultaneously as it will drop out!

• If you travel in a large group, it is cost effective to do an occasional ‘big shop’ at the Lidl Supermarket in Puerto del Carmen, especially for heavy items such as water, beer etc.
