The Sierra Nevada Ski resort is two hours away, this is a fantastic day out during the winter period. You can spend the day skiing, and many other snow sports. There are restaurants and shops in the snow covered village and cabin lifts which will take you up the skiing areas, even if you do not ski the sights will be unforgettable. You can then return to the warmth of the coast on your way home and watch the sunset from outside a beach restaurant.
Local area: The local villages of Puente Don Manuel, La Vinuela, Alcaucin, Los Romanes, are all friendly with small bars where you will receive a warm reception from the locals.
there are some highly recommended restaurants in the villages.
Torre Del Mar is the nearest beach Town Resort and is still very much a Spanish environment, the shops are interesting and well stocked. they are set back from the beach promenade which provides safe bathing in the day with many local restaurants and a unique family atmosphere of a night, with many strolling along until 2am in the cool of the evening. This unspoilt part of the coast is a firm favourite with residents and visitors.
Local Activities: Lake Vinuela has many attractions, there are two excellent restaurants with fantastic views. Permissible water sports include swimming, sailing, fishing, canoes, windsurfing. Other activities to be found locally are mountain biking, horse riding, bird watching and hiking.

Lovely peaceful, relaxing villa
We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children. This property was wonderful, A well appointed kitchen and amazing views out over the valley. The outdoor area is lovely with plenty of choice for seating areas and a great pool. We used the BBQ several times and the undercover table was where we spent most of our evenings. A car is essential. We used this villa as a base to visit Granada, Malaga, and much more. We had a great holiday here and every morning as I stepped out the door of the villa the view took my breath away, some fantastic sunsets were viewed from the roof top villa. We all loved Villa Francis.

it's fab to be back for a third year we love coming back to villa Francis it's like home from home, clean and well maintained as always. The manager phoned me on arrival to let us know the internet was not working he had informed the company and it would be back on by Monday and it was the kids were back on line that morning.

LOVELY VILLA IN GREAT LOCATION
This is the second time we have stayed at Villa Frances, we have stayed at three other villas in the area and to be honest none compare. It feels like your own home in the sun. The pool is outstanding and the kitchen is fantastic. If you want peace and quiet this is for you, you are also only a short drive from the beach and shops. Well worth a try. Will definitely be returning x

"Villa Fantastic"
Our fourth year to this fantastic villa. It really is all you could wish for. It takes my breath away on arrival. It's always spotless, and so spacious and well equipped. The pool and terrace are all the website describe. To sit on the terrace at night with a Bacardi and coke and see the lights twinkling from the mountains is sheer heaven. The peace and quiet is unbelievable. A 10 minute walk takes you down to the local village, which has shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa to everyone. My idea of a piece of heaven on earth. Already booking for next year!! Jan T Swansea

Stunning
This villa is absolutely beautiful with everything you could possible want and more.IT was spotlessly clean inside and out I have never seen a pool glistening like this one we couldn't wait to jump in. There was lots of things for the children to play with inflatables for the pool water volleyball set to playstation2,draughts and even cards. The villa is very spacious with a huge kitchen fitted out to a very high standard. The perfect place to stay for a very relaxing holiday with just a short walk to some English shops and bars. we found the location of the villa easy the hypermarket was easy to find with a nice walks along the front. I would definitely recommend this villa to my family and friends.

Amazing villa
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the villa it was like home away from home everything you could possible need for a perfect holiday.It was my first time at the villa and my first holiday with my 2 year old daughter was a bit wary of the pool, but found the pool area was very child friendly with none slip tiles also we could leave the front door open safe in the knowledge that she could not get access to the pool or the road as everything was gated off. the villa was very clean and well maintained. I did find the information folder left by the owner very useful and I did go to some of the places recommended and found them excellent and good value. The villa location was perfect nice and quiet with English shops and bars within walking distance and just a short drive to the beach.would I recommend this villa to friends and relatives most defiantly, my only regret not booking for two weeks.

Superb Luxury Villa Francis ! Highly recommend!!
If you book this villa you will be well looked after as the owner was always available for guidance and advice and even arranged some milk and tea/coffee for us when we arrived late at night. The villa has everything you need and more ( space and well equipped) Weather was fab at the end of May ( 25 C) and pool warm enough. It was the most relaxing holiday we have ever been as if u choose u wont see a soul for days ( total privacy) and yet only 5 min car drive is bars and lovely Spanish social life. We also had lovely walk on the promenade at Torre de mar with 3 course and drink for 8 euros is a bargain !!! Overall highly recommend this beautiful villa and cant wait to go back !!!

Chilling with great company
After an early morning start from a blustery fog bound Bristol airport the warmth enveloped our party as we disembarked in Malaga. On arriving at the villa the pool and sun terrace were so inviting that there was no delay entering the pleasant relaxing area. Three days of blissful relaxing in amongst the mountains which created a stunning panoramic backdrop. Will certainly visit again and hopefully for longer. Thanks

5 star Villa. Only the best !!!
This was our first villa experience, we are use to AL holidays catered for u r every need, so was bit apprehensive but what an eye opener!! Everything u possibly might need IS IN THIS VILLA. Perfect for 2 families, as it even has 2 double beds and SKY. So if u miss ur eastenders or corrie, u don’t need to worry:))) We never had so relaxing and private holiday with breath taking views over the mountain. You could even pick u own oranges and lemons for sangria:)
We would definitely go back and recommend highly!!!
Suggestion: if u want stock up before arriving, stop after coming off Malaga motorway to turn to Lake Vinuela. There is a huge Eroski shop there with fresh fish/meat and cheap Siglo :P
Scrisso bar in the village ( jug of Sangria £5 )
Definitely read the owners little black book with all the recommended to places to visit a eat !

First class villa ! Nothing but braise :)))
This was our first villa experience, was bit hesitant coz we are used to luxuries of AL hotels mostly. But what a eye opener. It was the most relaxing week ever, with the privacy u can rarely find. Set between beautiful mountain views this villa has everything u need. 4 bedrooms, ideal for 2 families. You have 2 double beds which is rare. It even has SKY so if u miss Eastenders or Corrie u don't need to worry:)))
And CBBC is always a help. Not that u need to watch tv when u have 30C outside with a lovely refreshing pool and BBQ.
If u don't fancy washing up, use a dish washer :) When making sangria pick u own lemons and oranges from the trees in villa!
We read the owners suggestions about the sightseeing and went beautiful places around like Nerja and Comaris
Lovely food ( huge paella for 4. 25£ ) with FAB views to the lake restaurant El Panto. In the village is relaxing outside bar Scirrocco ( jug of Sangria 5 euros !!!!)
Suggestion if u do go there, stop half way when u come off from Malaga motorway and stock up in huge Euroski supermarket, with fab fresh fish/ meat counters and good price Rioja !
Will deffo go back !!!!!
