We stayed here as a family of 5 beginning of Easter holidays. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and was somewhat rainy on arrival to Malaga airport.
After picking up our hire car, we ventured off to find a supermarket then text Isobel to let her know we were on our way.
It was approx 23k of winding mountain road to the villa, which most of us passengers found hard to stomach after 50 mins suffice to say subsequent journeys we stopped half way to ease our queasy tummies!
Arrived at the villa around 3pm.
Very clean. Stunning views.
We paid extra for the pool to be heated which was indeed lovely at 27° and having checked the forecast also paid extra for a delivery of logs for the fire which Isobel bought with her a couple hours after we arrived.
We visted Malaga, Nerja and Gibralta during our stay, and drove up to the small village of Comares where there is also a small supermarket. The little bar/restaurant down the road from the villa is lovely and you can walk it in 10 mins, turning right out the villa and keep on going.
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay here and managed a couple of days sun bathing by the pool. The kids loved the pool and spent hours in it. The villa is well equipped, although some cushions in the lounge just to make evening chillout time more comfortable would be a bonus, and equally 2 normal pillows each on the double beds would be preferred rather than one long lumpy sausage pillow neither person can turn over when your partner is on the other end! Perhaps some pool towels and then bathroom towels could be left for future guests as we found we were using the same towel for by the pool and getting out the shower, and because we had quite a bit of rain drying them took a while. Also the shower in the main bathroom likes to spin round on its fitting which soaks the ceiling and floor and anyone helping set it up for their kids!
We were thankful for the wood and fireplace as it was quite cold in the evenings. But cleaning it out was a task as there is no fireside companion kit to do it. Found an old dustpan broom and swept what we could into the tray to be emptied.
There are board games and cards and hairdryer ect at the villa, tv although only about 5 English speaking channels, dvd player but we didn't take any films and there are none there.
Would recommend this villa if peace and quiet away from everything is what you're looking for with great views. Hopefully the weather will be nicer for the next guests!
