Beautiful place in a lovely setting. We enjoyed our holiday very much but the location was a little out of the way for us. The place itself is up a very steep hill which takes roughly 20 mins to walk to the main road and then another 20 mins to walk into town. The burriana beach takes about the same again another very steep hill. We used taxis a lot which probably by the end of the holiday we would have spent an extra £100. We didn’t want to hire a car as my husband didn’t want to drive as he drives a lot in the UK.. I would say for this location a car is very essential. But all in all we had a great holiday in a lovely villa.

It has everything you need and is well maintained. As it is up a fairly steep hill and the property is spread over three levels you need to be fit and unless you are willing to stay very local I would say you need a car. A quiet area with properties mainly owned by Spanish people.

Perfect for easter break. We would be delighted to return

Wonderful relaxing stay in very comfortable villa. Very peaceful and just blissful to swim in a lovely clean pool and be able to relax on our own rooftop. It was a very welcoming property, beautifully landscaped and accessible for Nerja restaurants, beach, Frigiliana and local market. A holiday to remember!

Great stay at the apartment, that felt like a home from home that really help make the holiday. Easy to get to from the A-7 and plenty of parking as we had a hire car as we wanted to explore the local area. The apartment was very clean and well presented. The bedrooms air conditioning made pleasant to sleep at night when we were not sitting out on the roof terrace for breakfast, lunch, or enjoying the stars after walking back hill up from an evening meal out. Pool area was clean with 1m to 2m depth suitable for children (there was also a toddler pool. Life guards was present at all times when pool were open,other families enjoying the quiet and relaxing environment.

We have holidayed in Nerja on numerous occasions and stayed in various hotels and villas but this was easily the best. The villa was spacious, clean and homely and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was a real bonus. Although we didn't cook much the kitchen was well equipped and had all appliances you might need. The fridge was a good size and there was also a dishwasher and washing machine. The roof terrace was lovely and we spent a lot of time in the evenings star gazing or just chilling out. The pool area is clean and well presented and so quiet even at this time of year. The pool itself is a decent size and never got too busy. There are two decent supermarkets nearby and Burriana beach is a 20 mi ute walk downhill. If you don't like walking taxis are reliable and reasonably priced. There is also a bus down to the beach or into town which costs just 1 Euro. This is hourly but is often slightly late and can get a bit busy in the evenings. All in all we would highly recommend the villa and will definitely return again. Thank you Paul and Sue for allowing us to share your lovely home.

We have just returned from a fabulous two week stay at Paul and Sue's villa. We can honestly say that the villa was a massive part of why we enjoyed our trip to Nerja so much. It is homely, with lots of space for our family of four including great outside space. We loved having breakfast on the really private patio in the morning and when possible stealing a few hours to sunbathe on the loungers on the roof terrace. The villa is so well equipped with a full size fridge freezer, a dishwasher and washing machine and everything you need in the kitchen should you wish to cook at home. It is so peaceful and the complex itself is lovely, with access to the communal pool which was always very quiet when we went there. A major bonus is the fantastic air con in the main lounge area and bedrooms which made our stay so comfortable. With the wifi and British TV channels being another bonus! We hired a car though folk we met at the pool were able to get around easily without one so I don't think it's essential though we made trips to The Alhambra, Mini Hollywood, the Nerja Caves and various beaches along the coast so would recommend it if you want to explore Andalucia. The town itself is lovely and we spent many evenings having dinner and ice creams on the Balcon de Europa. Our two fave places were Gusto on Calle Pintada and La Fuente on the Balcon Square. There's also plenty places to eat along Burriana Beach so there's plenty of choice. I would definitely return to the villa. It felt like a home from home and we felt so comfortable there. There's a little mini market a 5 min walk away and a large Mercadona just ten minutes walk. Two minutes in the car. We also went to Aqua Tropic waterpark which is a twenty minute drive away. A great day out for a 4 and 9 year old. So if you want to escape the hum drum of busy hotel resorts and have your own space in a lovely location, this villa is a great choice. Thank you Paul and Sue for a lovely relaxing holiday. Lorraine and James

My wife and I and our friends had the most wonderful holiday. We have just returned from a weeks idyllic holiday. Thank you Paul and Sue for allowing us to stay in your holiday home, it was just perfect. The setting and the area was fantastic and I am sure we will be back. The pool right outside our door, everything was perfect. Highly recommended. Thanks and see you again.

Just left this wonderful town house. Beautiful views and superb accomodation. Capistrano village is a great place to stay especially if you enjoy walking. Will definitely book again

This is our sixth year visiting Nerja, with the last 3 years visiting the Chapmans villa, 2 of them with kids in two. From our latest visit it certainly won’t be our last. The villa is set in a beautifully landscaped private garden complex with pool and is just over a mile from the town centre. Each time we have visited we are always pleasantly surprised to find something new. The furniture has been updated as well as the addition of air con and heating units and a new bathroom suite. A roof terrace provides a perfect spot to sunbathe and looks out over the sea. The kids loved their time in the villa as much as we did, now calling it their ‘holiday home’. A cot was provided for our youngest as well as a stair gate which was handy. There was also kids tableware which saved us worrying so much about having to replace any of the good stuff! It was worth checking out all the cupboards as we found a selection of beach toys which saved us having to buy some for the two weeks we were there. I would recommend anyone to take a walk from the villa down to the supermarket. It’s just a 10 minute walk, but you’ll travel downhill through a maze of alleyways with many different native plants and trees that appear to be in full bloom whatever time of year we come. Similarly, a walk up hill provides you with excellent vistas across the town of Nerja and the coast. If you’re a keen walker, the Nerja Caves are a good walk out of town and the town itself is a pleasant walk away. Burriana Beach was our favourite, especially the Paella at Ayo’s Thanks go out to the Chapmans who have always been very accommodating

The house is a 10 minute walk to a large supermarket, bars and restaurants. House was well presented with most essentials. We stayed for four weeks and experienced one of the wettest March's for some time a spare set of sheets would be useful as drying the one set was problematic, our only reason for not awarding 5 stars.

Lovely property, we noted a coupled of disgruntled opinions on the internet from some which I felt was niff naff and trivia. Nice accommodation, everything you could need was there, we had a lovely stay, would highly recommend it. Margaret Terriza ,

Good points. Nice position with easy walking distance to shops ,beach and countryside. Poor points, House could do with a bit of TLC A pair of scissors in the kitchen would be handy and some egg cups. Bath towels. If you like to wrap yourself in a towel after your shower you need to have a 24inch waist. No water in the swimming pool. Locks and sliding wardrobe doors could do with a squirt of WD40. Some of the units and walls could do with a wipe . Besides those few little points we had great weather and a great holiday ,would definitely like to visit the area again.

My friend and I recently stayed at this villa for 1 week. We are mature adults. Whilst this terraced villa is set in a pleasant spot there are no grounds or gardens to walk around and the pool was closed. It is necessary to drive through the sprawling El Capistrano development to reach the villa complex. However there were many things wrong with the villa: It needed a new bathroom, the old enamel bath was stained and chipped and had a plastic shower curtain. The cheap metal shower attachment was set too high up on the wall and it was necessary to hold it by hand to use it to shower with. If the bidet was removed the bathroom could be reconfigured to fit a modern shower cubicle. The old wooden towel rail in the cloakroom kept falling off The old DVD player didn’t work The front bedroom door handle was loose There was no full length mirror in the whole villa No scissors in kitchen drawer, no baking dish, just a few old aluminium tin trays. The oven hadn’t been cleaned before our arrival. No nice mugs for tea, just heavy dark blue stoneware mugs Pillows were old, flat and stained yellow The lounge, whilst potentially spacious, had 2 large, dark purple, grubby leather settess which closed the room in. The TV was too small for the room. There were nice sea views from the front bedroom balcony and from the roof terrace if you stood up. It had a high wall around it. The patio got the sun on it but there were no views because of the large amount of overgrown shrubbery. Apparently the owner prefers this! The ‘garden’ space wasn’t useable because it was so small and dark. This villa was not as described and I am very angry at the amount I was charged for sub standard accommodation.

Lovely part of Nerja to stay

This is a great place in Nerja. The location is perfect, because the villa is really calm and quite but close to the beaches and the city center (by car, just 5/10 minutes). We also liked a lot the house. We had breakfast in the private garden full of plants. We found all the necessary things, including toys for the beach. I'm sure that we will come back soon again!

A really great place, with lovely private gardens and a fantastic pool for kids to play. Our daughter made lots of friends around the pool and didn't want to do much else! The villa was good, and very private with a good loacation and nice patio! Well worth a visit

Clean, well-presented villa set in beautiful communal gardens. Pool was fabulous! Kitchen could be better equipped (no wooden spoon? no tongs?) but that's a minor gripe. The buckets and spades etc were a real bonus to find and we used the tennis rackets for a game at the club by Supersol. Some board games would be a really useful addition. Nerja is a wonderful place to visit and the beaches are excellent for children. We made some visits to the out of town locations recommended by the owner which were great, although some more detailed directions would have saved us a lot of wrong turnings! I would say if your children are small that you would definitely need a car to reach the beach. Overall, a wonderful villa and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.

wonderful villa on a beautifully planted development, sea views and complete privacy on both the patio and roof terrace despite being a terraced property. nerja is a great town from which to explore both the coast line and the many gorgeous hillside villages. malaga (picasso museum.....fab!) and granada are an easy drive and the alhambra is a vey worthwhile daytrip, you can take the tourist sightseeing bus from outside the alhambra for a quick tour of the city which saves driving into the cente and parking again too. lots of excellent beach restaurants around nerja serving barbecued fish help make a great evening out, altogether one of the best all round holidays we've had, thank you for providing such a delightful property. carrie and tim.
