The villa and pool were lovely, very well equipped and a great location for the beach. We enjoyed a lovely 5 days there.
On arrival, the letting agent Martina met us and showed us how everything worked so that we could enjoy all the facilities and take care of the villa.
As requested, we left a damage deposit in cash in Euros, which was later returned via bacs transfer in sterling - which wasn’t our understanding. This was very disappointing as we lost money due to bank charges and exchange rate fluctuations.

Beautiful Villa in a location close to much on the Costa Del Sol. All facilities catered for, kids loved the pool, we had a great time. Martina (host) extremely efficient and informative. Property felt safe and friendly will go again.

Was exactly what it said on the tin !!....I have lived in Marbella and rented numerous properties over the last 15 years all along the coast, from apartments in Altos Los Monteros to villas in Estepona and our stay at villa Sierra Magina was one of the most peaceful and relaxing my partner and I have enjoyed for a long time.
The property, although a last minute booking, was perfectly located to allow us to chill, but close enough to visit friends and for them to visit us, as well as day trips to Gibraltar and surrounding areas it is also convenient for bars and restaurants so any taxi fares were more than reasonable... don't drink and drive.
The property itself was immaculate in presentation and all "mod cons" you would expect, the pool area perfectly located to take advantage of the mid-day to evening sun and the covered terrace to escape the same, when the mercury hits the 40 degree mark.
Overall, villa Sierra Magina rates a 10/10, however don't take my word for it..book and find out for yourself !!

We are a family of 6 and this was a perfect base, close to everything we needed and Martina made everything very smooth.
3.0 / 5.0
The villa was very nice but is quite obviously a family home being rented out with a lot of personal features present. The pool area was as described and although the location was not in the best part of Calahonda we liked to walk - despite the heat - to find the better places to eat and drink. Having said that the Carrefour is on the doorstep and the restaurant by the supermarket and the Da Vince cafe (serving breakfast and lunch) were both excellent.
The TV is described as international. It's not, it's German, very German which is a little disappointing in 2022 (and given it was being updated in response to similar reviews given in 2019). The internet was also weak particularly when we all wanted to use it to make up for the non-existent television we could watch and/ or understand.
However, the issue that took the shine off the whole experience down was the host. She insisted on us paying a five hundred euro damage deposit either in cash or by way of bank transfer outside of the VRBO payment systems. I did question this with VRBO who told me this was not supposed to happen (but it would appear that Martina wants the marketing benefits of utilising VRBO but not to follow their rules when it suits). While we did receive the deposit back, we received significantly less than we paid for the euros. Martina did not seem to understand that there is a cost for any non-EU traveller to buy/ sell (in cash or by way of bank transfer) euros for something which could have been done by simply holding credit card details on file (costing nothing like one does when renting a car).
A good experience let down by a host whose processes/ ways of working belong to the last century which is a real pity, a shame and so unnecessary for the property owners who obviously take great pride in their home.

We wanted a relaxing, stress free holiday and thats what we got.

The manager is not interested in guests having a relaxing enjoyable holiday at all it’s just about the money.
The manager said as the cost of the villa is so low (which is insulting) can we only use the air conditioning for 1 hour a day and if we use too much we will be charged extra.
She has now accused our family of 'loosing keys' which were never shown to us by the manager, we never saw the keys in the property, we were never given an inventory about them. She has told me she is sending an invoice for an extortionate amount to replace them.
Do not stay here!

Our family group, comprising five adults, and two young children aged five and one stayed for a week at the Villa over the period 29th July - 5th August.
On arrival at the villa we were met by Martina (property manager) who provided the handover and talked us through the necessary details re the villa, all of which was very comprehensive and helpful.
The interior of the villa was excellent, extremely clean and all furnishings, appliances etc of high quality throughout. Bedrooms were spacious and the beds particularly
comfortable, and there is also plenty of wardrobe space.
For families with young children, bear in mind that there is no bath in the property, only showers .
The kitchen area was fine for all our needs with every appliance crockery / cuttlery you could want provided, and as previously mentioned extremely clean throughout.
Just one area of disappointment was with the TV and Wifi. TV channels are almost all German, and we could only find one channel, Sky News speaking English. It would have been really helpful to have a couple of English speaking cartoon channels for the children to help them unwind at the end of the day. Wifi, was very poor throughout the building, and you cannot rely on it, you will be heavily reliant upon your data allowance if you want to get on to the internet, etc.
The exterior of the villa provides good views from the front towards the sea, at the rear there is open land/ scrub, but this is generally well hidden by well thought through landscaping too the gardens etc.
The swimming pool was great, not really suited to swimming up and down as a little too small but perfect for family with kids. The surrounding sunbathing area was clean and nicely laid out and a great sun trap throughout the day..
Unfortunately it is not permitted to barbecue out side, due to local govt restrictions (fire hazard) in this area of Spain, that was a real shame, as for many people the family barbecue is a regular feature of a villa holiday. A portable electric hotplate was made available for outside use , but regrettably did not work.
Location wise, I would say you would almost certainly benefit from renting a car, we did not and with hindsight this was a mistake. Most of the nice beaches, and shops etc will need a taxi ride / bus to get too.
Hope this review helps you.

My family stayed at the property for a week in August 2018. We were greeted by Martina who runs the property lettings from the German owners. She is a fountain of knowledge of the area and the villa which helped as we settled in.
The villa has everything you would desire for a relaxing stay inside or out, throughout every room.. High quality kitchen products, roomy and powerful showers, comfortable beds, even more comfortable sun loungers plus all beach towels, superb air conditioning, wifi, clean and adequately sized pool, high level of security, the list goes on...
It is also based 2 mins walk from the supermarket, coffee shop, newsagent, hairdressers which is very handy should you need to use them. The beach(s) is also within walking distance but to drive is 5 mins which I would recommend (although leave early to get a parking spot).
You are also 1 min in the car from the main A7 road which takes you in either direction to other beaches, towns, places etc so quite handy. It's not essential but I would recommend having a car should you want to travel around being based from this villa..
There is construction work going on to the front of the property currently which will be finished in 2019 and will only add value and contentment to this villa and location.
We weren't disappointed so I am sure those who book in the future will feel the same.

We had such a lovely stay at this fantastic villa. It has lots of space and is in a good location with a supermarket and some bars and restaurants only a short walk away. The house has a lovely home from home feeling and has everything you need, all to a very high standard. The downstairs ensuite bedroom leading directly on to the pool terrace was such a nice bonus. The elevated position of the house allows privacy and gives a nice feeling of space when outdoors. The garden and pool area are lovely and the pool is a good size. To have the off street parking and garage was good and reassuring for us with our rental car as we knew it was safely parked. The security of the house is also very good. There is some construction going on directly opposite the house but this looks fairly close to completion. We loved our stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to return to this villa if visiting this area again!
