A huge thank you to Jude and the team for a fantastic holiday. Wonderful villa in fab location for our stay. Enjoyed the pool and the quiet surroundings.

A large group of 17 of us stayed at Jude’s 2 villas, as we were attending a family wedding. The villas were clean, spacious and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Communication was great with Jude and Steve, who looks after the villas in Coín was on hand to deal with anything we needed or to answer any questions we had. The outdoor space is ideal with many dining areas to choose from and pool table / tennis tables were a great bonus. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this fantastic villa, our first impression was WOW, there was loads of outside space and it was very private. The property is very well maintained and very well equipped, We all had a brilliant time and would highly recommended this villa, thanks Jim and Jude. P.s Steve the pool guy was very helpful indeed

The house is in great condition and is well-equiped. The pool is very nice and the children played with the table-tennis and pool-table. We can recommend anyone who has plans to stay in Andalusia and is looking for a rental with a few people. We will love to visit again!

Had a fab time!. Villa was brill had everything you could want and more so. The pool was a litte chilly for me but it was end of September, kids didn't care they had a fabulous time. Hopefully we will return next year perhaps to the try out the smaller villa they own. Thanks from all the Billam's

Well what can I say.... a stunning villa!! We had such a lovely time!! Not only is the villa beautiful, large and very accommodating it's also excellently equipped and there's lots of bit and bobs for children to do/play with to. The outside area is brilliant - what an amazing pool! Our little ones absolutely loved all of the blow up toys and the BBQ area (well - we want one!) Big thanks to Jude and Jim 😊 Our only negative (and this certainly isn't of any fault to Jude and Jim at all) is next doors dogs! What a pain they are... daytime was fine - but as soon as evening came (when you want to spend time by the BBQ area with a glass of wine) they just barked continuously - one evening it was until 1.30 am (baring in mind we had gone inside at 22.00) it's such a shame as it kind of ruined two of our evenings there... also a baby gate on the top floor (on the stairs) would complete the full safety element of the villa! We still give it a 5 out of 5 though... Many thanks, Gabi, Ross, Milo, Lara, Alex, Theo and Barnaby

Had a lovely time staying at the villa .. Had everything you possibly think of. Amazing pool ..huge space really great villa . No one got in each other way. Steve was fantastic on hand with knowledge and help! Look forward to staying again! Kirsty - party of 11

Can't fault the place or the owners, simply beautiful. We had 12 of us here and I can honestly say we had bags of room. The pool was outstanding and was complemented with an excellent outside space.The pool table and games area proved a missive success. The villas location was within reach of all major attractions whilst keeping the tourist trappings at arms length. Steve the caretaker was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and thanks for the loan of the paella pans. Everything you could think of was there or available, if it's not just ask. 10 out of 10.

We stayed over Christmas and were lucky enough to have 7 days of beautiful sunshine despite the drop in temperature at night. We couldn't make full use of the outside areas but the kids did manage a Usain Bolt impression by jumping in and out of the pool in record time! The pool table was a big hit and the house was pretty well equipped overrall. Our only suggestions would be to replace the sofa back cushions and perhaps not let the basement bedroom in winter as it's very cold even with the heater. The wifi was a bit temperamental (the tv relies on wifi too) but Steve did his best to sort it out and is a very helpful and friendly guy. Really enjoyed exploring the area, especially Mijas and had a delicious tapas style Christmas lunch at The Farm in Marbella's old town. Loved the trees dripping with juicy oranges at the bottom of the street too.

What a fantastic villa. First time we've been on this type of holiday and could not recommend this place highly enough. Both the adults and the kids fell in love with the place and if you want to enjoy the Spanish culture, the local towns offer it in spades!! One or two little niggles were sorted by Steve immediately. Thank you for letting us stay and we'll be looking to book again next year.

From the moment we arrived, we all fell in love with this place. There were 10 of us in our party, 6 adults and 4 children and everything we needed was in this villa. The kids, when it was too hot, went inside and played the wii or table tennis/pool whilst the adults lazed by the pool. There were lots of inflatables for the kids (and adults) to have fun with. The villa was huge and at times it felt like there were only 4 of us as we were not on top of each other. Steve was very friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. He recommended a great restaurant in Alhaurin El Grande and it certainly didn't disappoint. The villa is on a great complex but there is nothing within walking distance, the nearest shop and bar was a 30 minute walk along a main road but this was the only negative about our whole holiday. We never got to grips with the buses as they didn't turn up at the times we thought they were coming but the local taxi companies were brilliant and arrived within 10-15 minutes to take us wherever we wanted to go. The pool was amazing, the BBQ area was great and we thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful place. Next time there are ten of us, I wouldn't hesitate to return to this villa. I only wish Jude did a Villa for 6!!!! Jude was extremely helpful and booking this was a breeze.

We had a fantastic weeks holiday staying in this super villa with our family and friends. Jim and Jude communicated brilliantly and cater well for all ages within the villa. Their friend Steve provided useful information of the area and had the fridge stocked with essentials for our arrival. He gave peace of mind that there was someone on the end of the phone to give help if needed. At present we are gutted to see the villa is booked when we were hoping to go next year!

The property is beautiful in very scenic surroundings and is well stocked with handy items. The kids had a blast in the pool or were entertained by the table tennis and pool table. 12 of us stayed but there was plenty of room so we weren't all on top of one another and could still have our own space. You really do need a car or lots of taxis if you want to go out as there isn't anything in walking distance. The petrol garage is well stocked and is just a 5 minute drive. We found Alhaurin Grande best for restaurants which is 10-15 mins drive, Calle de Gerrard Brennan is the best road to head for and their Thursday morning market is lovely (near the Supermercado). Coin is great for shopping with a Lidl, Aldi, Supermercado to stock up the villa and even a small shopping centre. Steve is a wealth of knowledge, we didn't have him on arrival but in hindsight I think he would definitely be an asset on the first day for direction and advice. My eldest daughter went down with tonsillitis when we were there and Steve put us in touch with an English speaking Doctor in Coin which was a huge help! He also recommend La Cala market which was good and quite direct to drive too and I wish we'd had more time to go to the lakes he'd described. My 8 month old granddaughter came and having a travel cot and high chair provided was a huge help. If eating out Finca La Mota on the way to Alhaurin is a must, the food was lovely and the surroundings are very pretty, has that real holiday feel. In Alhaurin it's self we loved Almadina the Moroccan & Italian place, they were the most welcoming with lovely food and atmosphere. The villa is also well stocked with books, DVD's and games to play as a family. Many a card game was had round the large table on the veranda outside the lounge of an evening. Thank you for a lovely stay. The Allinson's, Newlin's and company x

This was our first villa holiday in Spain having previously rented villas in Portugal. Casa De La Risa was all we hoped for and more. The owners have equipped and furnished it to a very high standard. The outside pool area, table tennis and pool table was a great bonus and kept both the adults and children entertained for many a hour. The outside bbq area is a lovely area to chill out at the end of a long hot day by the pool - what more could you ask for. Steve was a wealth of valuable knowledge with great recommendations for places to visit - The Lakes were a true gem - only found thanks to Steve's recommendation. The villa is well located for visiting a number of different places - nice to be able to visit genuine Spanish towns/villages away from the usual tourist spots.

Just returned from a five night Easter break at this villa . The villa is exactly as pictures show and everything is as described perfect villa all round great location lots to visit and see you can travel 40 mins and be with the tourist in Marbella or you can travel 5 mins and be in beautiful local villages with great cheap little tapas bars 9 of us stayed and more than enough room for us all ,we arrived Easter Saturday and Jude had organised for us to email with a shopping g list Steve the caretaker to get some shopping in for us which was just perfect, Steve is just so helpful on all aspects .last year we rented there smaller villa which is just as great as this one. Great location close to airport too. Thankyou for another great holiday hope to return in summer

Had a lovely summer vacation. Its an ideal Villa for familes with children of any age . Having a pool table and table tenis was a bonus , it kept our teenaged children enjoying themselves . Theres the town area which is 5 minutes drive from the villa, incase you need to buy extra food . Theres a Lidl and mercadona If you plan to go to a shopping Moll ,you have the (Canada) 20 mins drive. I must also mention what made our holiday extra speacial was that the owner of the Vila Jude, was really nice and allowed my dog to come with us on holiday , as she is part of our family. I have to thank Jude for this lovely week it wouldn't have been the same without our dog. I would definately recommend this Villa for a vacation, and I am planing of returning again sometime.

Lovely villa, something for everyone. Great location. Steve was amazing really helpful with excellent knowledge of the area. Jude and Jim thank you for letting us stay a*

Beautiful villa in a great location a short drive to lots of different attractions. The kids loved the swimming pool and adults enjoyed pool and ping pong tables. Close to lots of restaurants. Everything you need is at the villa. Owners are extremely helpful. We will definitely return to this villa as one of the best we have stayed in!
