Firstly, Mike and Norma are excellent hosts and their communication either directly or via their point of contact in Spain, Helen, was excellent. We had issues with the Wi-Fi which was out of their control but they worked hard to resolve. The Villa sits in the hills of Benalmádena, 5 min drive to the gorgeous Pueblo or 10-15 mins drive to the main strip. With 2 young children we didn’t attempt any walking but in our opinion a car is pretty important if you want to do anything based outside of the villa - we had one so wasn’t an issue. Within half hour east or west of the coast we managed to see so much. A trip to Mijas is a must and the bio-park is a fantastic zoo if you are looking for something to do. We were unlucky enough to have 4 days of rain during our week stay, which meant we really had to “live” in the house. Whilst the town house possesses lots of charm it undoubtedly could do with some TLC. Little things such as a very wobbly unstable toilet, all the wall clocks without batteries, and an ancient oven that we could only get to grill just a few examples. The outside dining table is also in a pretty fragile state. In summary, I would recommend the villa for guests to stay. The outside area is really lovely and it’s in a really good location for a base. With a little bit of a refresh it could be really special place. Thank you Mike and Norma for your hospitality.

Disappointed!! And I really hate leaving bad reviews . Without going into too much detail this property needs some real Tlc. Helen the property cleaner was very helpful with our concerns and tried her best for us .

Lovely villa and welcome from cleaner Helen, she was excellent. But… the air con wasn’t working downstairs, the springs were digging through the mattresses on the single beds which was unbearable and if you sat on the settees you sunk down a few feet! The pool cleaner only came once which isn’t good for a hot dusty climate. Not massive issues but when taken together get a bit irritating - sort those small issues and it would be perfect.

The property was perfect. It had everything we needed. On arrival we were met by Helen who explained everything to us and had provided us with essentials. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable. There was plenty of space to accommodate us as a family of 5. The outdoor space was really nice, with plenty of beds to sunbathe and towels were provided for the pool, which we have never had before. There was also a place to sit and relax outside with canopies overhead if you did not want to be in the sun. The BBQ facilities were great and we made use of these. It is in a quite location but close enough for all amenities. We will be back.

La casa tiene aspectos positivos, en nuestro caso, destacaría os la zona exterior, piscina y barbacoa. Como aspectos negativos, la no disposición de la agente para comunicarse en español, lo cual generó algunos errores de comprensión, escaso menaje, sobretodo, vasos; y la ubicación de la casa, q o liga a coger coche para todo.

La casa esta muy bien pero que no tenga aire wn el salón por no querer la propiedad arreglarlo muy mal. Hace demasiado calor para no arreglarlo, según ellos por que gasta mucho por que los clientes no lo apagan, pero por el precio de la casa debería funcionar. Todo lo demás correcto menaje muy justo.

De woning is goed gelegen. De indeling van de woning ook wel goed. De keuken had wel wat meer keukenspullen mogen hebben. Wat wij jammer vonden is dat de omgeving van de zwembad niet gehele privacy heeft, terwijl wij hier wel om gevraagd hebben. Voor moslim gezinnen (vrouwen) is deze woning dan niet aan te raden helaas. Als vrouw zijnde moest ik mezelf bedekken om het zwembad in te kunnen. Wanneer je in het zwembad zit, kan niemand je zien. Verder hebben we een fijne vakantie gehad.

Die Kinder waren sehr froh wir haben es genossen, wir freuen uns wieder zu kommen.
