My partner and I stayed in this apartment in Torremolinos mid May 2016 and absolutely loved it. We are both in our early 30s with children and have busy jobs so wanted a relaxing week of eating, drinking and chilling in the sun and the apartment (as well as the area) certainly delivered. Arrival - The week started off perfectly - Felix picked us up from the airport and Aurelio provided us with a few essentials (Including a much needed beer!) to get us going - which was especially welcome as it was a fairly late flight! Great hosts! Apartment - We found the apartment to be in excellent and clean condition. It is big and perfect for 4 . We had a peaceful and comfortable nights sleep every night, listening to the sounds of the sea. Which brings me to the best thing about the apartment - That view! The balcony overlooks the sea, and is better than the photo suggests! We saw dolphins on one of the days and often sat just looking out with a cold beer in hand for hours! The area - carihuela beach is a beautiful little gem of a place. - Although Benalmadena and Malaga are both a very easy bus or train ride away. We intended to visit Benalmadena which apparently is well worth the effort, but found ourselves so at home and comfortable in Santa Clara we didnt bother in the end! There are a couple of small supermarkets less than 5 minutes walk away, that have everything you need very cheap! and other bigger 15 minutes. There are about many 'holiday' style bars and restaurants within 3 mins walk as well and they are all reasonably priced and friendly, our favourite being La vaca loca for the amazing steak! There is also a beautiful bar literally a stones throw away , which is quite hidden away but is well worth seeking out as its feels like youve been transported to an Ibizan style chill out bar - great for when you're having a late night out! Beaches - The beach immediately in front of the apartment is beautiful and sandy for swimming or sun bathing. Overall, everything you need for a luxury (cheap) relaxing break!
