We stay 3 weeks and it was perfect for me and my wife. The apartment had all we need. Got good exercise by using the stairs to the beach.

Such an amazing place. Perfect location with easy access to a pool and beach. Gorgeous views and beautiful surroundings of the botanical garden. Loved relaxing on the balconies to the sound of the waves and waterfalls. Nerja was the perfect place for a family holiday, with great options for food and activities like kayaking. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. Well stocked with cooking things, coffee makers, bbq and even beach things like bucket and spade and parasol. Well air conditioned. The management company were also very responsive and helpful for any questions. Cant recommend this place enough (and have already rebooked!)

Lovely first stay in Nerja Apartment was so central beach gorogeus and restaurants aplenty Definately be back

Great week, lovely place.

Casa Lucia in Capistrano Playa was a great find. We stayed 6 weeks through winter. Perfectly suited for the time of year, there is air conditioning that supplies heat, which is supplemented with an oil filled radiator if needed. Easily available hot water. The kitchen is fully equipped, and a full range of crockery and utensils. We cooked well over the period. Beds are lovely and comfortable with an amazing view of daily sunrise from the main bedroom. The 2 terraces are linked together and fully equipped. Capistrano Playa is amazing with a layout of individual apartments in a horseshoe form around the coast. It is very well maintained by the staff. The whole apartment is very well kept and nicely decorated. We liked it very much. There is direct access to Burriana Beach and shops, bars and restaurants. This is down private steps through the gardens alongside a small ornamental waterfall. Quite lovely and peaceful. They could be challenging but there are strategically placed seats, view points and level areas if you want a breather on the way back. I have a heart condition but managed them well. It’s also a short walk into Nerja centre. We hope to go back again.

After a little hiccup checking in/ collecting keys, we were greeted with a well presents apartment in a little Spanish oasis. Quirky design up the hillside with pathways to explore. The pool area was nice and quiet and kept that way by the staff and a short walk to the beach. It is not so easy coming back though, the steps can be a killer after a long day in the beach and a big dinner. Don’t let this put you off though it’s worth the visit.

Clean apartment, great location, had everything we needed. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay.

The apartment has a great view over the beach. Good location with easy access to the beach through the tropical garden. We spent many a day by the pool and enjoyed the on-site cafe where you can get a light snack and a beer. Alec was very helpful through out.

Lägenheten var helt ok förutom att sängarna var så hårda att vi inte sov en hel natt på hela veckan Drar ner på betyget. Sedan hade vi myrinvation i lägh, främst köket

Appartement très agréable avec une décoration soignée! Accueil très sympathique! Trés bien située avec une vue imprenable sur la mer. Nous reviendrons certainement

Very Nice place!, we really enjoyed the apartment and its balcony. The view is just amazing!Very convenient for a family as the beach is just 5 minutes walk. Thanks!

El apartamento es muy bonito, tiene de todo (incluso sillas y sombrilla para llevar a la playa). Está en una urbanización preciosa, muy bien ajardinada, y las vistas desde el apartamento son espectaculares. El propietario nos dio recomendaciones de todo tipo para hacernos la estancia aun más agradable (restaurantes, tiendas, espectáculos, ...). La ubicación de la urbanización permite ir andando a la playa, y por el paseo marítimo se llega fácilmetnte al centro de Nerja y al balcón de Europa, no es necesario mover el coche.

We had a very good time with our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) in the apartment. It was very well equipped and the beach was just a 2 minute walk down some stairs. When we did not want to cool ourselves in the sea we could just use the common pool area. Walking to central Nerja with it's shops and restaurants just took 15 minutes by foot.

Die Wohnung von Alec Mela ist sehr gut und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Schön ist das es zwei Stühlchen gibt die man an den Strand mitnehmen kann. Auch zwei Strandtücher sind da und zwei Sonnenschirme. Zwei Terrassen laden zum Sonnenbaden ein und die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Im Februar bereits 20 Grad und mehr ! Wir konnten jeden Morgen auf der Terrasse frühstücken. Alec schreibt alles auf englisch auch die Wegbeschreibung. Also sollte man auf jeden Fall englisch sprechen können und verstehen. Vielleicht kann er einfach einmal eine kurze Wegbeschreibung und Erklärung wie und wo man den Schlüssel bekommt usw auf deutsch verfassen. Dann würde er auch bestimmt mehr Gäste aus Deutschland bekommen. Und hat es jedenfalls so gut gefallen, das wir gleich wieder gebucht haben . Wieder die gleiche Anlage im April. Also sehr empfehlenswert !!!

A very nice apartment with spectacular view. Very cosy. Only the couch was ready to renew. The stairs to the beach help keeping us in form specially after eating in the very good restaurants. We want to come back....

Mycket fin lägenhet m vacker utsikt över Medelhavet o Burriana Beach. Fantastiskt välutrustad för den som vill äta en del måltider i lägenheten. Lugnt o vackert område. Välskött.

It was exiting time in Nerja! We want to come back.

Havde 8 dejlige dage i denne skønne ferielejlighed. Lejligheden er vel udstyret og fungere særdeles godt. Nød udsigten fra terrassen og roen i omgivelserne.

We stayed here in mid April. This was a really lovely property in a very picturesque complex. The apartment had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. With two adjoining balconies overlooking the beach, on really lazy days there was no need to leave the apartment! I thoroughly recommend.

Andalusia is a great part of Spain with interesting cities. Nerja is a beautiful location with good local restaurants. Burriana Beach is fabulous with numerous places to wine & dine. Capistrana Playa is well maintained and looks awesome. The appartment has a great view and the size is sufficient for a holiday. Most closets and the balcony is too full with various things, so we lacked open space to put some of our own goods or use the sunbeds. The sofa and the bathroom need some attention. We stayed six weeks and despite the comments above we had a fantastic time! The information provided by Alec was good and the help of the caretakers (Rowan & Karine) was excellent! Thank you for that.

We were enjoying holidays as a family of 4. We were very pleased with the appartment, the fantastic view from the balcony/terrace and the sounds of the sea. Alec was a wonderful host. He gave us detailed handy information and was very kind and quick in communication. We were lucky with sunny weather.....in december. We are definitely thinking of returnung.

Breakfast on the balcony watching the sun come up was one of the highlights. Overall a well equipped apartment, everything you would need. We had several lunches on the beach in the sun, made all the difference for a short, warm break. Walking down to the beach through tropical gardens was great. Walking back up around 200 steps was a challenge but made us fitter. I would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues or someone who would struggle up lots of steps. We’re approaching 70 but quite fit and it was fine for us. Finding the apartment initially took a little while. The use of the lift was excellent, as it would have been arduous getting supplies and luggage to the property, very difficult without. Overall we loved it.

Alec sure created a special little oasis in the Playa Capistrano complex. We could not have stayed at a sweeter apartment in Nerja! The kitchen was well-appointed so if you wanted to cook in, you had everything you needed to prepare a nice meal. But with so many wonderful restaurants available, we only ate in one night. The furnishings were comfortable and attractive. The bed was firm and cozy. Everything worked well--air conditioning, washing machine, appliances. The close location to the beach was wonderful and we liked climbing the stairs because we felt less guilty about eating and drinking! Alec had tons of information available so as you were chilling with a beer, seltzer or glass of wine, you could check out all of the wonderful activities Nerja and the area had to offer. We like to walk so the nice stroll into town or to the Mercadona at the top of the hill was a perfect distance. If we are lucky enough to return to Nerja, we would love to stay at Casa Lucia again.

We stayed as a couple, and really liked the apartment. Alec provides all necessary information (and a lot more helpful info, too) during the booking process and in the lead up. The apartment is very clean, comfortable and well equipped - everything you could possibly want (plus quite a lot more) is provided. It is all very smart, but the balcony is the best feature, with some great views. The beach is also very nice, and the pool on the complex is refreshing for a dip (maybe a little small if the place is busy). Highly recommended!

Came as a family of 4 and it was absolutely perfect. First time visiting nerja and it was absolutely stunning a real hidden gem. The property sits in a lovely complex right above burianna beach which is only a 5 minute walk through very nice tropical gardens. The apartment itself was clean spacious and the views were incredible, there is also a bbq on the terrace which is perfect if your fancying a quiet night In. There is also lots of information provided about local excursions, things to do in the local area and restaurant recommendations as well. Overall i couldn't fault from the booking process right through the whole holiday thanks again Alec, Hasta pronto!!

A nice place to get away from a Canadian Winter! We very much enjoyed Casa Lucia and it was a pleasure to deal with Alec, the owner, and his representative on site. Both were very helpful in accommodating our needs. The compact 2 bedrooms apartment is very well equipped, even for a long stay. While the steps from Burriana beach below can be challenging at times (especially after a nice meal at one of the many restaurants), the lift to/from the street and parking is a welcome feature. Capistrano Playa is at a reasonable walking distance to the supermarkets and center town and the hourly bus service is practical for those who prefer not to walk. Of course, the Winter weather does not permit swimming but temperatures remain pleasant in general, and the view of the sea from the terrace is the icing on the cake! We recommend Alec's apartment without hesitation. Georges and LyndaCanada

We stayed for the second time in your wonderful apartment and couldn't have been more pleased with our holiday! The apartment has everything you need and the best thing of all is the location: right next to the fabulous Burriana beach and the center of Nerja just 15 minutes walk away. There are also many interesting places to visit from here. Last time we made a trip to Granada and Alhambra and this year we visited the cities of Malaga and Almería and also some beautiful villages nearby, for example Frigiliana and Cómpeta. And last but not least: The customer service provided by the owner was excellent, once again :). Thank you Alec, I hope we can return some day.Christel, Henrik, Viktor (18 years) and Johanna (13 years) from Porvoo, Finland

The location of the apartment was the best thing, just a few minutes away from the wonderful Burriana beach. The property was nice, the bed a bit short for our daddy (height 1,95 cm), but otherwise everything was fine.

We have stayed in Capistrano Playa before and whilst we loved Capistrano Playa, Burriana and Nerja, the apartment we chose at that time did not meet our expectations which was disappointing. Undeterred we decided to give Capistrano another go and in June this year we stayed at Alec’s apartment for the first time and our expectations were massively exceeded, so much so that we booked to go back in September! The apartment has an amazing location and stunning sea views from both the balconies (two balconies, a bonus!) In fact you can hear the waves lapping on the shore the beach is so close, very relaxing when you are chilling, reading or sipping a glass of wine and wonderful to wake up to every morning! We felt so relaxed in this place. The apartment is very light and airy with lots of personal touches. It is a good size and we were surprised at how spacious the two bedrooms and the bathroom are. Having a washing machine was a winner for me, means you can take less clothes so no charges on overweight baggage! The apartment is absolutely spotless and has everything that you could possibly need to make your stay feel like home from home in fact the kitchen seemed better equipped than our own at home. The bedding and towels are very good quality and the bed is very comfy. With regards things to see and do, Alec goes the extra mile to provide loads of great information about the local area, from recommendations on best places to eat to where to get cheapest broadband! Capistrano Playa is an award winning complex and deservedly so. It is a very pretty (and very safe) complex with a large central ornamental pool and a lovely tropical garden walk down to Burriana beach (5 mins from the apt). Burriana is a lovely beach and probably the best in the area, it has great facilities for young and old alike and has very good restaurants/tapas bars. Nerja is just about the nicest Spanish town we have ever visited, looking out to sea it has retained its old Spanish charm with narrow little streets, no high rise, and fantastic restaurants. But the jewel in the crown is Alec’s apartment! With stunning sea & beach views it really has been a ‘find’. Alec has gone to great lengths to make sure that you want for nothing and is genuinely keen for feedback on how he can improve things to give you an ever better experience. To be honest after two visits this year there is absolutely nothing we can recommend, it is all there! We plan to be regular visitors!

We have just returned from a week long stay at this apartment, and cannot recommend it highly enough. It boasts one of the best locations in the picturesque Capistrano Playa Complex, with fabulous views of the sea and beach and is fantastically clean and well equipped. We have stayed at several apartments in the complex and this is by far the best. Newly renovated it has a lovely modern bathroom, well stocked kitchen, and 2 beautiful bedrooms. The towels were plentiful, soft and fluffy (from John Lewis - not your usual threadbare standard apartment issue!). The sheets were crisp. And there was even a large flat screen television, DVD player and Ipod dock! We have two small children, and found that this apartment was perfect for us. The washing machine and dishwasher were a great help! If you have never been to Nerja, then Capistrano Playa is by far the nicest self catering option. The architect designed complex is based on a typical mediterranean village, whose white-washed dwellings nestle into the hillside just above Burriana Beach - the nicest stretch of Nerja's coastline. Unlike many Spanish coastal resorts, Nerja has retained its Spanish charm. A firm favourite with Spanish holidaymakers, it has no high rise buildings, and boasts a huge selection of good restaurants. Thanks again Alec for such a lovely holiday. We hope to be back next year.
