A beautiful villa in a beautiful private setting. We were excited about this week away, we wanted somewhere to relax and just be together as a family. The photos looked amazing and we were not disappointed. We were with our two teenagers and it was perfect for them, enough room for them to have their own space and swimming pool and pool table terrace gave us places to relax together as a family.
We had a fabulous stay here. The villa is well designed, has beautiful views, and a great pool, but also very peaceful. Joanne was a particularly attentive host making sure everything went smoothly for our trip. Thank you!!
Lovely return to a comfortable and luxurious house
This is a lovely house. We stayed here some year ago and had very fond memories of âEsteponaâ and we were delighted to see the house was once again available for holiday letting. It provided everything we required â a great pool and garden area, stylish living accommodation and comfortable bedrooms. The house is close to Estepona town and good bars and restaurants. The owners are extremely responsive and we had a lovely holiday at Ifield House.
We Stayed at Jo & Grantâs lovely Villa over Christmas & New Year, very nice villa in quiet secluded location yet still less than 5 minutes to the beach and Estapona town centre, couldnât fault the place and we had a great time, Jo & Grant were lovely hosts and very helpful with advice and recommendations for the areaWe would go back in a heartbeat
The villa is set in a beautiful location and provides everything you need and we were even fortunate with the weather so could make good use of the pool to cool down.
We had an awesome stay in this villa Joanne was always there if I needed any information on anything I cannot fault this Villa and I would not hesitate to stay here again
This home was absolutely perfect for our needs.
Located just a short drive from beautiful and vibey Estapona.
The villa is spacious and has all the amenities you could ask, from a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge, and stylish bedrooms. Let's not forget the stunning views (come rain or shine) all the way to the coast, but also provided wonderful space that allowed us to spend time and reunite with friends who have become family.
Thank you to the hosts, Jo and Grant for the excellent communication, information and allowing us this opportunity of a lifetime.
Highly recommend!
Hosts and house is great but there is room for improvement
Jo and Grant were great: tips, easy check in and really everything is available in the house: coffee, bin plastic bags, toilet paper: really extraordinary! Great house as well! Some minpoints: nasty smell in the master bedroom and no hot water in the master bathroom (not really a problem because you could use the other bathrooms). There is a problem with the barking of the dogs (as mentioned in previous reviews....). We all know that there are dogs in the Spanish countryside but the dogs of the house across the hill are really horror for the neighbourhood. Another thing: is a classic urbanisation, without bars or restaurants and without even a small shop. I believe people should know that before booking. And there is this highway, blocking your view and making this constant noise what you not expect when on holidays. So, I would never book this house again but I enjoyed staying there.
This is a lovely property. We wish we had booked 2 weeks. House is a great size and very stylish. Fab pool. We like being on an urbanisation when we are away so weâre happy to drive into Estepona every night. Some people wonât but thatâs personal choice. We loved Estepona and this property so we would love to go back. If Joanne will have us đ
We really enjoyed our stay at Ifield house, the villa is set in a lovely quite location. Itâs ideal, away from the crowds, but only a 10 minute drive into Estepona.
The swimming pool was fantastic it gets the sun from midday right up until it sets in the evening. We made good use of the lovely terrace to sit out in the evening with a glass or two of wine, enjoying the unspoilt views.
Everything we needed had been thought of and the villa felt like a real home (sadly not ours!).
John, the local manager, was very helpful with recommendations of places to visit and whereâs good to eat. Our most memorable evening was at the very picturesque village of Benhavis, plenty of restaurants to choose from.
Estepona Old Town and the port are both lovely with a huge selection of restaurants to chose from.
We did manage to drag ourselves away from this immaculate villa on some excursions out; Marbella old town was very nice, a day in Rhonda was an experience we wonât forget. A day trip to Gibraltar was within easy reach. We decided to park in the carpark and walk over the border as the traffic gets very busy queuing in the mornings! Highly recommend lunch at The Little Rock restaurant in Gibraltar town.
A truly memorable holiday and hopefully we will return soon!

Sehr netter Kontakt mit der EigentĂŒmerin. Der Einzug ins Haus ist dank SchlĂŒsselsafe unkompliziert. Man bekommt viele nĂŒtzliche Informationen vorab. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Die Zimmeraufteilung ist Super. Der Pool ist Traumhaft. Die Lage nach Westen ist super, FrĂŒhstĂŒcken im Schatten und Sonnenuntergang auf der Terrasse mit einem Gin Tonic. Wir haben unsere Zeit genossen und hatten viel SpaĂ.
The house informations prior to arrival was very detailed and helpful. We had direct contact with the owner and always felt comfortable. Our concerns were solved immediately. It is a beautiful house in a quiet and pleasant environment. Perfect to enjoy the holiday with the family.
Thank you for this wonderful time and the great support during these three weeks!
We had a fantastic family holiday at Ifield House. The villa is set in a beautiful location away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to drive or get an Uber into town or the beach. Jo and Grant went out of their way to make sure our stay went smoothly and were always on hand to offer advice on restaurants, places to visit etc. The pool is amazing and the villa was well equipped with everything that we needed. Weâd definitely love to visit again!
We had a lovely week at Ilfield house - our second time here. The villa has been refurbished since we last stayed and was even better than I remembered. We didnât do a lot other than read and relax and this is a perfect place for it! Thank you, weâll be back!
Ifield house has been expertly designed to take the best advantage of the perspective this stand alone plot in the hills above Estepona allows. There is so much about this house that is enjoyable for three couples to share and would recommend it to any group looking for a quiet, chilled holiday away from the crowds.
The only criticisms would be that a couple of the blinds were either stuck shut or stuck open with a promise that they would be fixed during our stay and they werenât. Also some of the pool furniture and dining room furniture needs replacing.
Not to detract however from what is a most excellent villa in a great location with great views. Visiting in October the weather was still hot and the big Estepona beaches were nearly deserted, would stay again.
Dears Jo and Grant,
We had a great holiday in this beautiful house so nice.
The pool is amazing, the different terraces very nice, the environment relaxing.
To sum up, we will remember for a long time our stay there.
Perhaps to offer an even better service, it may be useful to change the bedding of the second adult bedroom and put more dishes (plates, cutlery) at the disposal of the future guests.
Best regards from Paris,
Pierre
Great experience at the villa.. house was fantastic with such a great layout a lot of thought went into designing this villa.. kids had an amazing time in the pool..
Vi forventede at ankomme til en luksusvilla i perfekt stand - det var dog ikke hvad vi fik. Huset var meget slidt - flere af havestolene og solsengene var gÄet i stykker. KlimaanlÊgget i stuen kunne vi ikke have tÊndt, fordi det lÞb med vand ned af vÊggene og pÄ gulvet. KÞkkenet fungerede ikke optimalt bl.a. kunne lÄgen til ovnen ikke lukkes ordentligt, sÄ der kunne ikke laves mad. Fjernsynet virkede heller ikke det meste af tiden. Huset var ret plaget af myrer og der boede flere firben inde i huset, som de prÞvede at fÄ til at lyde som en fordel..? Vi gjorde ejeren opmÊrksom pÄ alle problemerne og hun fik en til at komme og tjekke en dag vi ikke var hjemme - vi fik kun at vide, at han ikke kunne se noget galt med mÞblerne eller TV'et. MEGET skuffende oplevelse af et "luksus" sommerhus.

Lovely house, fantastic view
We (family of 5) had a perfect vacation in this lovely house. There is everything you need (and more). Nice garden and pool, the most fantastic view over the mountains with the ocean in the horizon and so many terraces, you can sit in the sun no matter what time it is.
Also the manager, James, is very kind and helpfull, if you need anything. Over all a really good experience, and we would like to visit again, when we are in spain.
Das Haus liegt am Hang mit Terrassen in alle Richtungen und schönem Blick auf's Meer. Es ist sehr wohnlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind nur ein paar Autominuten entfernt. Ein- und Auszug hat super funktioniert. Perfekt fĂŒr entspannte Tage in Andalusien.
Grant and Joanne Parker moved to Estepona after living in London for 10 years. Grant worked in advertising/publishing and Joanne was in Hotel Management. After being in London for a few years, we decided to go on and adventure and went travelling around Asia and Australia. Joanne's parents already lived in Estepona so it seemed a good idea to try living in Spain as the idea of being back in London wasn't appealing! We arrived with ÂŁ40 and back packs and quickly got on with life. Joanne went into property sales and Grant into managing a radio station. We saw the plot for Ifield House and a local builder had the plans already drawn up so we went for it. We feel totally at peace here.
We love Estepona. It's a great mix of traditional Spain mixed with some Northern European influences. There are local residents coming from the UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia and Germany. Although it is popular as a tourist destination, it's not overrun with them. There is life in the port and backstreets but it's never rowdy. Ifield House is a passion for us as we built it from scratch. We chose every tile, tap and toilet! I love it when people first walk in the front door of the house with new arrivals. Most people look round in amazement. One younger guest described it as something from MTV cribs!
Ifield House is a home away from home. As we live here, the kitchen is really well stocked. There's always the essentials like olive oil, tea, coffee etc. The furniture is not like a usual rental property and we have left behind plenty of books to read. The house is lovely and peaceful and there are no immediate neighbours. It's a short drive to the beach- about 4 minutes. We love the peace and quiet. Sitting on the terrace and watching the sun going down over the mountain or listening to sound of goats bells as the herd takes them across the valley. I also love sitting in bed with a cup of tea as the sun rose. It's a bit like looking at Ayres Rock!
