WOW !!! The villa, the location, it was just fantastic. The villa itself was brilliant, kitted out with everything you need. Quality pool, quality Internet and the TV was a good size and every channel you could wish for.Communication with our host, was also second to none, queries were answered via WhatsApp in literally minutes.We have been visiting the region for the past 30 years, can honestly say that this is one of the best villas we have stayed in.The only thing I will mention and by no means a criticism, there are two flights of steps accessing the property which could be challenging, under certain circumstances.The beach just a few minutes walk, beautiful clean sandy beach's and plenty of life guards looking out.Benajarafe is quiet, peaceful, does have several restaurants, small bars and local shops along with Mercadona, not too far away.A car isn't essential as all immediate needs are within walking distance. Great, Great villa & holiday.It really was !
VĂ„r familj pĂ„ 11 personer, i Ă„ldrarna 3 - 66 Ă„r och tre generationer, tillbringade 2 veckor i huset. Det var gott om plats för alla, lĂ€get och utsikten var fantastisk och poolens storlek var perfekt.Totalt sett finns dock mycket i huset som behöver uppdateras. Vi pĂ„talade direkt att stekpannornas teflonlager var trasigt och att en duschslang var trasig - detta Ă„tgĂ€rdades omedelbart. DĂ€remot hĂ€nde ingenting med en dubbelsĂ€ng, som var trasig och som vi ocksĂ„ sa till om första dagen! Ăvriga sĂ€ngar skulle ocksĂ„ behöva skruvas ihop och kompletteras med bĂ€ddmadrasser för bĂ€ttre komfort. TrĂ€stolarna pĂ„ övre terassen slĂ€pper fĂ€rg och hĂ„ller pĂ„ att falla isĂ€r. Trots allt hade vi en mycket bra semester och skulle gĂ€rna Ă„terkomma om huset fĂ„r en uppfrĂ€schning.
The villa is situated very well with stunning views. It is spacious with lots of areas to relax and unwind. Overall, it is rather run down and some of the beds were falling apart and very uncomfortable. Could do with a really good clean- under beds, cushions etc have not been cleaned in months. There was also black mould in one room.The hosts responded quickly to messages, but we asked for extra pillows and these never arrived. Other than those issues it is a great place to enjoy time with family. This was a 60th birthday celebration for me, with wonderful memories made
Despite the unusually severe storms this week we had a lovely time. There is so much to do at the villa, nearby beach and area to suit all agrs. Our group of 10 spanned age 2 to 79! One of our highlights was paella cooked on the premises by Alejandro (the house manager)
We hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad in dit huis. Alles is er! Top zwembad! En genoten van de paella van Alejandro. Dat was een heel bijzondere, mooie avond!
Minpunt was dat we drie dagen problemen hadden met de elektriciteit. Maar fijn dat we eerder in het huis mochten en later vertrekken. errder
SkÞn familieferie, hvor der var alle de faciliteter, vi havde brug for. Rolige omgivelser, dog ind i mellem en del hundegÞen rundt omkring. Vi benyttede ofte den dejlige pool og tillige den gode strand et par minutters gang fra huset. PÊne vÊrelser, hvoraf 2 af vÊrelserne bestÄr af k Þjesenge. Alt i alt kan huset anbefales.
Fantastic villa for multiple families in a good location
We were 3 families staying at the villa for 10 nights. The villa is large enough both inside and out to feel that you're not on top of each other but has two terraces with lovely views and large dining tables where you can eat together in the shade. Lovely big pool which was very warm in the middle of August and plenty of sun loungers. The villa is situated an easy walk from the beach, local restaurants and shops. There is a small grocery store and bakery within walking distance and a large supermarket within a 5 minute drive. Loved the home cooked paella too! Thank you!
We were a group of 5 adults ranging from 20 to 83 years old. We had a lovely stay, great location with wonderful views. Easy walk to restaurants, beach and small supermarket and only 30 mins taxi from airport. Very easy check in and out too, we would definitely return!
Great villa had everything we needed Would have liked some larger bath towels and a guide to the local area would have been useful
We ate at some of the beach chiringuitos and the food was excellent
Its a good 30 minute walk along the sea to Mercadona The bakery to the right of the main road was great and there were a couple of small bars for a welcome coffee
The pool is a great size and was warm enough to swim in unheated
We all certainly thought it was good value for money and the view is just amazing
The paella cooked by Alejandro was delicious
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the villa. After months of rain, we were very lucky to arrive at the start of a beautiful week in Spain.
The villa is great, well laid out for families to share and had everything we needed. The pool is also great and once we asked for the heating to be put on, was really fun to use, with beautiful sea views.
We also enjoyed a delicious paella cooked by Alejandro at the villa one night and would highly recommend this too.
Such a great time at the villa well equipped knives could do with a sharpen and the bathroom curtains need replacing but overall fabulous. Great location so easy to use the buses into towns. Lots of bars in east walk. Take out and shops
We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday at this villa. Itâs well equipped with everything you could need. The outside area was the highlight for us as a family. A large deep pool with a covered terrace and a quality BBQ. The views are stunning!
The area is typically Spanish which we loved and embraced, trying out our very limited Spanish on the locals who were very engaging as we were trying!
The communication from Bill was spot on as was the communication with the housekeeper who met us at the villa to open up the house.
One little point to note, the stunning views come with an incline up to the villa entrance with some additional steps to get to the property. It was worth every step to look out every day on such a stunning view.
Overall one very successful holiday!
Thank you.
The property was ideal for our holiday in Spain. WE had a very good time . The beach was near by and it was clean, a far cry from the dirty beaches back in England. My grand daughter had had birthday holding a pool party. It was fantastic. My daughter had a marvelous BBQ for her 50th birthday. All in all we had an excellent holiday. I would recommend it to any one. The only hitch was we had water problem on the last day which somewhat spoilt our whole hearted endorsement.
Villa overall was lovely, nice and spacious favourite area was around the pool. The pool was nice and big, lots of room around the pool to relax. The villa is located at the top of a hill and lots of steps, not good of your unsteady on your feet. Very Spanish area but Torre del mar is around 15 minute car ride away. Highly recommend eating at safari lounge in Torre del mar!
Great villa, amazing big deep pool, great views. All we needed was there in the villa. Quiet location, shops and bars very close by. Recomend visiting chiringuito La Negra, with live music every weekend and great food!
Pros: fantastic views over local area and sea.
Large pool area
Two outside seating areas
Decent size kitchen and fridge freezer
Plenty of bathrooms
Bbq
Safe and secure
Close to beach and shops
Local restaurants good
Bus stops 5-10 mins for both directions (once every hour)
Washing machine and line was good
Selection of games and books to use
Cons: no pool heating (told on arrival it pump had broken week before - not fixed whilst there so cold pool despite warm weather). Not happy we werenât told in advance as kids have short wetsuits they could have taken and we chose villa specifically for heated pool.
Lacked comfortable outside seating
Bed hard and squeaky and short - not good for tall people in our group who were 5.9 and above).
Bedroom Door handles need some wd40 as terribly squeaky- felt I was waking everyone up in the night
No oven racks or Baking trays for oven (only the oven shelf) which meant couldnât use oven as 11 of us - hugely limited our cooking options.
Dishwasher didnât clean well. Tried various cycles. Glasses always left filthy so had to hand wash them.
Positives. In a residential area. No high rise properties Lovely view overlooking the sea which is approx 400 m from Villa. Pool is amazing. Cant fault the Villa. Spacious clean, & well equipped.
Area is very Spanish & is not touristy. If you want a relaxing holiday this is the place for you. Saying that Torre del mar is only 9Km to the east which has more bars & shops & Malaga 25Km to the west. Big city.
Buses run approx every hour both ways & cost no more than 2 euros one way per person.
Negative. Only one really & thats if you have trouble going up & down steps this could be a problem. There are a quite a few steps especially from the entrance to the Villa.
Villa has three levels from the swimming pool up to the 5 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms.
Perfekt, velindrettet og veludstyret, hÞjtbeliggende villa med en fabelagtig udsigt og en skÞn pool. Dejligt at ogsÄ stranden er i gÄafstand. Eneste minus er at sengene er lidt for korte til Nordens folk.
