Booking was easy and it was very reasonably priced. Connie was fantastic and met us when we got a bit lost and gave us loads of info on the area, which you can tell she really loves.
The Finca was really great, with the best garden furniture of any Villa we have rented anywhere. Pool was still a bit cold in May so we didn't really use it, but good size and very clean.
Inside was well designed with nice little perks like a heated floor in the bathroom, big fridge freezer and pool towels supplied. Would highly recommend the Tapas restaurants in nearby Mijas especially Tomillo Limon.
There are however three things which disappointed and that is why only 4 stars. 1st is the road up to the finca, it's pretty bad, it would have been nice to have been warned when we booked so we could have booked a 4x4 instead of spending the week crawling up and down it scraping the underside of the hire car. 2nd The barking dogs, I think there's either a breeder or a kennel just across from the Finca, and they howl and bark, on and of, throughout the day and night, so not really the tranquil setting we expected. 3rd and final was the hot water, showering was far from pleasant in both showers, you get about 90 seconds of hot water then it goes cold for 2 to 3 minutes, repeating over and over and if you have long hair it's quite a feat rinsing it.
Would we recommend the Finca?? If you hire a 4x4, take earplugs, for the odd canine cacophony, and go when the weather is hot enough to want cold showers ...then yes, it is fab value and the pool area really is gorgeous.
