Good sizes property for 6 people, could do with some modernisation.Pool was nice and cleaner regularily.Kitchen was well equipt, but again needs some modernisation.As previous comments have mentionedThere didn't appear to be a bbq.We still had a lovely stay and would recommend.
We had a wonderful family holiday at the villa. It was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.
During the day the spaces we made most use of and enjoyed were the covered dining area overlooking the pool and the pool area itself. The barbeque shown in the photographs was no longer there and the water in the pool had a green tinge to it ,until the pool maintenance people came, five days after our arrival.
The kitchen was large and had everything we needed. The sitting-room was extremely comfortable with a good television (Netflix and Amazon) to relax in at the very end of the day. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and accommodating with plenty of storage. The terrace upstairs afforded good views over the surrounding area and the sea. The gardens were well maintained, although we were a little alarmed to see, on arrival, an ancient wheelbarrow propped up against a palm tree and the frame of an old pushchair outside the laundry room. Laundry facilities were good as was the parking and general security.
What was a bugbear was the general standard of decoration. We could clearly see, both inside and out, areas where the painting had been started, but not completed. The railings around the outside dining area, bordering the pool. were corroded and rusty.
Overall, we had a great holiday, but for this villa to be called truly "luxury", it needs work and TLC.

Das Haus ist wunderschön, auch wenn die Möbel etwas altmodisch sind.
Im Haus ist alles verfĂŒgbar, was man braucht ( viele Bade und HandtĂŒcher, BettbezĂŒge und vieles mehr )
Die EigentĂŒmer sind immer erreichbar und super nett.
Die GĂ€rtner sind jeden zweiten Tag Vorort und reinigen den Pool und den Garten.
Der goldene Strand ist 5 min mit dem Auto entfernt und auch die SupermÀrkte sind 4-5 Auto min entfernt, sowie Apotheke und Restaurants.
Schöne und ruhige Lage und sehr privat.
Vielen Dank đ
We are not people to moan but there was a few things that need addressing!
1. When we arrived the key wasnât in the key box as specified, so we had to stand in the road in the midday sun for about an hour until an old man turned up with a key ! He didnât speak a word of English & it took both of us to get in the front door as was stuck! 2.The villa is very tired & needs a lot of modernisation as there is a lot of potentially hazardous cracked tiles outside! Also nearly all the coping stones on one side of the pool were loose & need re-bedding in place! 3.Pool wasnât the cleanest!
4. Gardeners turned up 4 times in 14 dayâs unannounced each time & let themselves in without even a hello & at midday so we had to come away from the pool each time! Then the gardeners messed around with the pool & the next day it was flooding the patio area! The next day it had dropped by 6 inches! We informed the owner & the gardeners returned only for one of them to gesture to me that it was something that I had done! Wasnât happy with that! 5. As Stated before we couldnât open the front door From the outside! So each night we went out we had to leave & return via the doors around the back! One was a sliding cage & the others sliding patio doors! Only the sliding cage locked ! So at night we had to close the metal shutters for security! Also couldnât open the shutters in our main bedroom so was a bit dark ! So basically we made the most out of our stay! This Villa could be a fantastic place as all what surround are! Just needs a bit of money spending on it! Perhaps this reflects in the price of renting it for two weeks!
Our family of 5 (three teens) thoroughly enjoyed the villa. It was beautiful and just as shown. We used the villa as our hub for day trips to CĂłrdoba, Granada and Sevilla- coming back for a late swim and spending every other day at the villa. We enjoyed the pool , patios and BBQ. Checking in was easy and we were frayed for the Parking spot. We also enjoyed a few evenings in nearby Marbella. A perfect stay!
One note- the villa has AC which is a rare find, but most evenings were cool enough to go without it.
Great stay at this villa. Exactly what is advertised. Great location, short 15-20minute walk to the bottom of the residential area to a couple of restaurants and supermarket.
Communication with owner was perfect and the cleaner was ready and waiting for us on arrival I collect the keys.
Great outdoor area, pool clean and private!
Would recommend!
Just arrived back after a long weekend staying at this lovely spacious villa which has all the amenities you need inside and out, to make for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The pool and area was very clean and had beds and towels provided. The lady who met us Vicki was very pleasant, accommodating and extremely helpful. The villa is in a nice secluded area and a car is recommended. We cannot fault the villa and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Really lovely villa that was well- equipped ... slide going into the swimming pool was a bonus !!
The villa is spacious and on a really nice quiet development. The rooms are large and the smart TV was useful so that we could connect to Netflix and Amazon which helped when keeping out of the midday sun. Hardial also supplies plenty of beach towels which was appreciated so that we didn't need to bring our own. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. Bathrooms were all good. The air conditioning in all rooms was really effective and I liked the quiet mode in bedrooms. The master bedroom is really big with large ensure which was appreciated. Personally we would prefer a charcoal BBQ but the gas one supplied is good quality - we did have an issue with the gas valve but that was resolved whilst we were there. The villa is within a short (less than 5 min drive) of local supermarkets and there are a selection of restaurants within walking distance at the bottom of the hill. Nearest beach is 5 min drive. We enjoyed going to Puerto Banus which is 20 mins away. We also chose to take our children (11/6 and 4) to Mijas aquapark - the parking was a bit of a nightmare but it is a nice water park well suited for younger children. Overall a lovely villa with a lovely pool - the slide into the pool is a real added bonus for children and adults alike. Well-kept grounds and really quiet although there are neighbouring villas. There is lots to do in the area. I would recommend the villa and Hardial has been very easy to liaise with over all arrangements. Thanks!!
The villa was beautiful with a lovely well kept garden and private pool. It is in a upmarket quiet residential area. With shops and restaurants close by and not far from Nikki Beach and old town.
The villa had all the facilities you need and was very clean and well kept.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would not hesitate to recommend to friends or family!

Lovely villa in quiet location!
We stayed for 10 days in August, a family of six, two teenagers and two boys aged 8. The villa was well appointed and comfortable, everything you would need for a family holiday. The grounds were beautifully well kept and the pool was the best we have had in many holidays...really clean and very warm. The location is extremely quiet and you are a short walk to the nearest shops and restaurants but we had a car so no problem. Lovely part of Spain and would definitely return again!
Had a lovely mini break here. Felt like home away from home. Peaceful residential location yet within easy access to the wonder on central Marbella and port. Loved lounging by the pool which offered plenty of sunshine but also shade as required. Really enjoyed our stay here!
We had a wonderful stay at the villa, it was well-equiped, spacious and located and in a beautiful town with friendly neighbours. The owners have taken excellent care of the property, it is clean and pretty, the gardens are well maintained. The pool was a great size for all of us, we enjoyed BBQ's on most nights and relaxing on the veranda. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and relatives and will definitely be coming back!
This villa suited our families needs perfectly. The location was in a quieter part of Marbella- so much more authentic- and very close to a beautiful beach.
The private garden with the pool were amazing as they were not overlooked and a safe area for my young daughter to play in. The house itself was very spacious n child friendly n the well maintained garden and slide were welcome bonuses.
I have stayed in Marbella before closer to Puerto banis but found it noisey and expensive- this was ideal for our needs.
We had a fabulous family holiday in this beautiful villa! It feels lovely and tranquil during the day, has a great private pool and even a water slide for the kids! There are fruit trees in the garden which we loved! Inside it's really spacious so we all had plenty of room to move around. Plus the location is perfect and close to lots of great beaches and a short drive into the centre of Marbella. Would definitely return here!
We have just had the most amazing family holiday at this lovely villa in Elviria. We are a family of two adults and three children (13,11,10). The villa is spacious and very well equipped with a lovely terrace over looking the pool (really good size!) There are immaculate gardens surrounding the villa that have lemon trees and the mountain and sea views are stunning, especially at sunset! Location is private and peaceful yet it was only a 5 minute car drive to a a beautiful beach (easy walking distance) that had some great restaurants right on the front and a two minute journey to the local supermarket! We had some great days out in Gibraltar, Puerto Banus and Marbella! The owner was very friendly and helpful. He couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great stay. We will definitely be returning!
The property was in a very quiet location just what we wanted. It had all modern kitchen appliances and a plumbed water filter so no carrying those great big water bottles. The outside area was immaculate, with wonderful mature gardens. Featuring a lemon tree full of fruit, we made lemonade and used the lemons in our soft drinks. The pool area was well maintained and featured a slide a great hit with the kids, I even had a go (very sturdy) plenty of sun loungers more than enough to go around. Very generous living space, lounge and TV room. Sky TV, take your sky card to unlock more channels but there was enough choice without, we took our Apple TV box and hooked it up to the TV in the lounge, so we could stream from our iPad, You Tube as we couldn't miss our soaps (sad I know) We hired a car so beach and shops where not an issue, we could access the Mercadona and Lidi without going on the motorway and we could access a lovely beach without using the motorway too. Within walking distance of the shops and restaurants providing you are fit and not lazy like us. I would recommend hiring a car in any case as there is so much to do and see in the surrounding towns.
