The villa was beautiful and perfect for our trip. Andrea was an amazing host - proactive, responsive, accommodating, and made us welcome from the start. The pool and garden area is fantastic.
Me and my friends had a great time at this amazing villa!
Views from the pool/jacuzzi were amazing and allowed us to have a very chill & comfortable stay!
We had such an amazing stay and the outdoor area is gorgeous and perfect for a big group! Communication with the host was easy and itâs not a long walk to the harbour and beach! Would definitely stay again
Everything was as promised, yes some patina, but only adhered to the charm.
Magnificent view from the garden, nice pool and lovely jacuzzi with the view to be enjoyed with a glass of whatever :)
We had a fantastic time.
The villa is absolutely wonderful with everything you need.
Andrea was such a wonderful host. When we arrived she let us check in early. The place is amazing so clean, spacious and has a lovely charm to it. It is close by to everything. We will definitely return to this beautiful place. Thank you Andrea
We came 12 girls for a hen party and had the most amazing time. We have absolutely loved our stay at Andreaâs wonderful villa. The house was very clean and a great set up but the outside was the real show stopper! Beautiful views and a gorgeous pool, with lots of hidden seating to enjoy in the gardens. Andrea was a wonderful host, very helpful with anything we needed before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Andrea's Villa. It was the perfect location for our group of 15 ladies. The Villa itself was fantastic especially the outdoor areas and swimming pool. Andrea had also organised a private chef for our first evening and the food as fabulous setting the tone for the rest of the weekend. Andrea was very kind and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend a visit!
What a great villa for a group of friends to get away without kids. One thing to note is that two of the room are really one room with an archway between them. It didn't matter as we put the same family in the room, but could cause others an issue. Worth knowing, but still 5*!
Very traditional Spanish style villa, lovely out side seating area with large covered dining area. Plenty of outside space, we had a private chef come to cook for us all and they had plenty of room to cook outside on the terrace and create a buffet area for service.
Stunning views across moutains and out towards the ocean. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of untensils and crockery, dishwasher etc.
Separate self contained flat acommodating 4 people, which is not accessable from or to the main villa, however, this worked perfectly for our group.
Easy walk down to the town but obviously uphill coming back.
There were 14 in our group so plenty of room and enough bathrooms for use too. My only suggestion would be the need for more sunbeds for use, as there is currently only 5, there are some relaxing chairs.
We all throughly enjoyed our stay, and the host made us feel very welcome, was very happy to allow us to gain an early entry if needed and also accommodated a late check out for a small fee, which was great for us all to fully enjoy our last day in the sun.
Would definitely recommend
We payed for early check in, but the house was not ready. The host was very stresed and confused.There were ants everywhere in the house and rats around the pool. The rooms were connected to each other, so no privacy. No coffee machines, so we had to buy our own. Old and worn house.
We have just returned from a fantastically relaxing week at this wonderfully traditional villa in Puerto Banus. We travelled as a family group of 14 and the facilities in the villa suited us well. The pool is huge and the heated Jacuzzi is a really nice touch allowing the adults to have a relaxing soak while the younger ones played. There was plenty of seating and sun-loungers for those who chose to relax in either the sun or the shade. The table tennis got lots of use as well.
The shops were close and within easy walking distance, with a couple of cafes and restaurants also. We spent a few afternoons in Bar Brothers, a tennis complex no more than 3-4 minutes walk away from the Villa.
The Marina at Puerto Banus and the beach is only 10-15 minutes walk away, or 15-20 at a more leisurely pace. It is only âŹ6 in a taxi.
Andrea was a wonderfully accommodating host, with no ask too large in order to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were really happy with our stay. Thank you.
Overall we had a great stay and time
There are a number of issues which need considering before anyone books
2 children in our group got serious cuts to their toes in the pool.. not acceptable
There whirlpool/hot tub doesnât work and has sharp tiles in it
The bedroom layout could have been a massive issue for some.. 4 rooms on the ground floor.. and there is a separate apartment upstairs with a separate entrance.. problem is you have to walk through one bedrooom to get to the other which was fine for us but may not be for others
No aircon in the main living room.. again temp was just about ok but a bit of aircon would have been nice
Other than the above it was a nice place to stay and the outdoor area had a great view of the mountain and was really nice to sit outside in the evenings
We were looking for a big enough villa for our friends and my family and for the first time decided not to stay in a hotel so we did not know what to expect and were prepared not to have the usual luxuries found in hotels. To our pleasant surprise we had more than enough. The jacuzzi next to the pool was heated and had incredible views, extra pool towels, champagne, hairdryers, and more. We had a fantastic time ! We put all 5 children in the studio which has an outside corridor and adjoining door between the 2 biggest bedrooms so we could check on them. We told Andy we were thrilled to find the locking door between the bedrooms as this is what we always have in the 5 star hotels we book. Every morning the kids dashed outside and jumped in the pool, no wet floors inside was a godsend, and the connecting bedroom is a real boudoir which was perfect for our friends celebrating their anniversary. It actually brought tears to her eyes it was so beautiful. When we walked into the property we were gobsmacked as we did not expect it to be so grande. I stayed in the apartment upstairs where there are 2 bedrooms and we made breakfast in the American kitchen and enoyed it on the terraces with sea views. The last two bedrooms were perfect for the 3rd couple who put the baby in a lovely cot in the front bedroom and stayed in a comtemporary bedroom with a mirrored wall backdrop in the back. When the kids weren't in the pool they were busy playing ping pong, billiards and air hockey. We had lunch every day on the long table outside. We hosted a big barbecue on the big terrace and our friends asked how we found the villa ! We put all the drinks in the big fridge next to the wetbar so the children were'nt coming into the villa wet from the pool. We took care of Andy's beautifully designed villa and she helped us with transport and catering. So now we know can 3 separate families with 5 or more children enjoy being all together and the answer is Yes.
We rented this villa for a family holiday for 12 people. ages from 2 up to 72. the description says it is only 10 minutes from the beach, when in fact it is more like 30 minutes. Although the views are very nice the outside of the villa is full of debris
The Villa:
firstly you only see the best 2 bedrooms in the villa you donât see the other bedrooms which are nothing like as nice as the others, and the layout of them are strange. One of the bedrooms you have to go through to get to the utility room.
The lounge is a good size but we found it to be very old fashioned but that is only our own taste.
The kitchen was not a bad size. 1 of the bedrooms that you donât see is next door to the kitchen and you have to go through the bathroom to the double room which then leads on to a very small bedroom that has 2 single beds in it.
The other 2 bedrooms are like a separate flat which werenât brilliant either. They looked like they had not been decorated for a number of years The ceiling fan was very noisy.
The garden was a good size which had a fair sized pool and a Jacuzzi. The pool was heated to 26 degrees and the jacuzzi was 34 degrees on the first day we arrived but during the week these dropped. When we contacted the owner she turned .up the next day but the heat had not increased and had actually gone down and the Jacuzzi dropped to 25 degrees and when we asked for it to be sorted was told they would be out the next day but we never saw anyone until the day we left, so for the final 3 days we couldnât use the Jacuzzi. One of the reasons we picked this villas was for the heated pool and Jacuzzi for our 2 year old so we were left disappointed that this happened.
Our personal opinion is that the villa leaves a lot to be desired although it is in a lovely location and has the potential to be a beautiful villa we felt that a lot of things needed updating particularly the bedrooms, bathrooms and the games area.
The villa was not as described, with bedrooms being off other bedrooms, so no privacy at all for anyone staying, two of the bedrooms were accessed from outside of Tod main villa. The host lives in the grounds of the villa and frequently pops over, then summarising all her issues with ourselves, which were most unfounded in aggressive and incredibly long messages.
11 of us stayed in Andrea's lovely quirky family home for a week. Its a traditional old Spanish villa with lots of character - don't expect modern chic. The outside area is great for large groups and the table tennis table provided lots of entertainment. The pool is large and there is a jacuzzi. The villa is a 5 minute walk from bars and a well stocked supermarket. There are several bars within a 5 minute walk and a 20 minute walk to Puerto Banus. Set up an account with Mercadona before you go and the order arrived when we got there. We did another order when we were there. Very efficient. Andrea was so help full through the whole process and even more so when we got there. She bought new sun chairs, a fan and wine glasses for us. She was always on hand if we needed her. We would definitely go again.
Great location. Very good outside area which we really enjoyed. The living space and kitchen is good enough but nothing specatcular. The bedrooms were good but some beds could definitely be replaced for newer ones. The toilets was really nice. The host was nice and helpful but also stayed right besides which didnât really bother us but it would have been nice to know beforehand. The view was beautiful.
The villa is great and has superb views. It is in a very quiet and peaceful location but only a short walk to the town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this villa for a group of friends.
My group of 13 recently stayed here for a hen party weekend and it didn't disappoint. Months prior to our stay, Andrea was very communicative via email offering tips and any extra information needed, which was extremely helpful. She also allowed a small part of our group to arrive early to set up decorations which we greatly appreciated. The villa itself is even better in real life, and that view was just the cherry on top. The only issue we had was with directing taxis back to the villa as it's not located correctly on GPS but that was easily resolved once we got our bearings. Overall, an amazing weekend, and one very happy hen! Thanks Andrea!
The pictures of the property do not give it justice! We were a group of 12 girls on my hen do and it was the perfect place for us to stay. The Outdoor space is incredible and each bedroom is huge. It was very clean and had plenty of bathrooms for a large group of girls. It is a short 5 minute taxi ride to puerto banus city center and would only cost about âŹ6 using Uber so very easy for everything we had planned.
Andy was great throughout the whole stay and helped us when we had an issue with our transfer.
I would definitely recommend this villa for a large group of people we couldnât of asked for any more!
Thank you for an amazing stay!
This villa was absolutely perfect for our hen do weekend. The outside space with the pool is incredible and Iâd highly recommend booking the chef for a BBQ the food was scrumptious, a definite highlight of our weekend!
Thanks for having us Andy we had a great stay.
I grew up all over the world as my father worked as a foreign service officer and as a result, I developed a great love of travelling. I currently live in Marbella, I've been based here since the 70's because I think the weather and lifestyle is unbeatable. There is always something going on here and I am more than happy to let you know what events of special interest are taking place during your stay.
This property has been in my family for decades since my parents chose to retire here after travelling the world. The villa is romantic and interesting as it has furniture and art collected from all of our travels abroad, so it has a lot of character. The villa also has quite an interesting history, my stepfather who was a film producer with Paramount and Colombia pictures lived here, so the villa has been the host to its fair share of parties with some famous actors as guests, back in the glamorous days of the 70's when Marbella was the new jet-set destination. Our clients appreciate the charm and authenticity of the villa and always feel at home.
If you are looking for an authentic, charming villa with privacy you won't find a place quite like this. Guests have commented that they feel like they are entering a secret garden when they arrive, it feels like you are in your own world as it is so peaceful and yet there is so much to do only a short walk away from the property. The peaceful experience and chance to appreciate nature in this villa, with the only noise being the birds chirping, is something I find truly unique. Another feature of this villa that many fall in love with are the breathtaking panoramic views. As soon as you walk in you can't help but be awed by the La Concha mountain, Golden Mile and valley and the deep blue sea, a spectacular view which continues to charm at nightfall when you can appreciate the glittering coastline from this privileged position. Gazing at the moon and stars from the villa is also a delight since the elevated position makes the sky seem endlessly wide and bright.
