We had an amazing time at the villa, it’s so well equipped with everything you could need and it’s very comfortable too. We had our 1 year old with us and he had everything he needed. There is so much space both inside and outside. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and the pool is huge and so inviting on a hot day. You also have lots of shade outside, around the pool and in the gardens. The Villa is very clean and tidy and has everything you need for a week away and the kitchen has everything you need for all types of cooking. We didn’t want to hire a car and the location is so easy that you really don’t need one. You can walk down to the supermarket (who deliver for free if you spend a minimum of 40 Euros) and restaurants and bars are within walking distance. As a family we wanted a peaceful location and the villa delivers on that, you can hear the birds all day and it’s so quiet at night. Marc-Alexander and Tracey helped check us in and gave us a tour of the villa, they were great both before and when we arrived. Thank you for an amazing stay we hope to come back again soon!

The Villa is perfectly located and well equiped! We had a nice vacation with 2 kids under the age of 2, plenty of baby equipments, plenty of space and the Villa is near the beach, the village, the grocery, restaurants and more! I recommend!

Overall great holiday. The villa is lovely with an amazing garden. Location is perfect, we didn’t have a car and didn’t need one all week. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic spacious house with a great pool and very pretty garden. We had a great holiday, the location was perfect- lovely beachfront with restaurants and a supermarket all within easy walking distance, with Puerto banus also an easy walk. The check in was very good, we were greeted by the hosts, communication was excellent. I would recommend this property and we would like stay again.

From start to end, the owner Marc was very informative and the info in the villa was extensive and useful. The location is excellent - €8 Taxi to Puerta Banus and €13 to Marbella Town but many restaurants and bars available in the local area of San Pedro. The villa was like a family home (which I suppose it is!) but the crowning glory is the pool and surrounding gardens. The incredibly large garden is beautiful, the pool area is fabulous with sunshades, loungers, tables and chairs and lovely night lights. Everything you need for a nice break. Highly recommended.

Villa was great plenty space. Gardens were lovely and pool huge. Grandkids loved pool. Only negative need Aircon for summer months especially when we were there end July.

My family of 7 adults have just returned from this superb luxury villa , which is situated in a lovely area close to the beach . The property itself is set within a huge plot of very well maintained gardens and fantastic swimming pool . It also has a roof terrace which we used very often , watching the sun come up and go down . The pictures do not convey the actual size of the garden . Marc and Tracey met us at the property and gave us the guided tour along with any relevant information that was required . Any teething problems that we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently . We spent 10 days at the villa and most days found ourselves lazing about the pool , before exploring further afield at night . Puerta Banus and San Pedro are within walking distance or a short taxi ride . If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway then do not hesitate to book this property - the privacy offered is second to none . JH & family

We are a family of 5 adults. The villa was perfect in every way. Great location - walked everywhere, great outside space and pool. We would love to return.

Our family of 4 adults and 2 children (ages 4&5) stayed for a week at the villa. We were accommodated by 5he owners with an earlier check in on the Saturday which was a very nice welcome. The villa is absolutely lovely, it’s clean, spacious, cool, has everything you need and the pool is a fabulous size and once in didn’t need to be heated. The gardens are lovely, parking and site is secure which makes it so relaxing with children. Is a very short walk to the beach and such a choice of restaurants. We walked every day on the promenade to places very close having snacks and drinks en-route ( nice walk to Porto Banus) Highly recommend this villa and we shall be booking again 😄 We all had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Dianne and family

Alles wie es sein sollte, mit einem sehr netten Vermieter und in bester Lage.

Villa has all you need for excellent holiday. Great for two familly. The garden is an asset, our kids were very satisfied. Location is great-five minit walk to the beach. Best restaurants not far away. Host Marc was very responsive, always available. Next time in Marbella we will take again thos villa.

Beautiful gardens, overall happy .

I would recommend this property to anyone. It’s in a quiet location close to the beach. Within walking distance to Puerto Banus. Marc the host was a brilliant help.

Super maison avec piscine exceptionnelle. Points + : - Localisation proche de la plage - Maison full équipée avec Barbecue, cuisine complète, 4 chambres, etc - piscine incroyable - Jardin magnifique avec oiseaux qui chantent et palmiers géants - Belle localisation et proximité avec la plage Points moins positifs : - La plage la plus proche n'est pas la plus belle de Marbella donc il faut marcher un peu plus pour accéder aux belles plages - Certains lits dans la maison sont de qualité moyenne donc cela mériterait un rafraichissement Sinon je valide quand meme à fond cette super maison ! Enjoy

We were drawn to this villa by the pictures of the garden and pool on the website and were not disappointed. Absolutely fabulous. We didn’t want to leave it.From first booking the villa to being greeted by Marc when we arrived was so easy. Marc was so informative.We didn’t hire a car and didn’t find this a problem as the beach is 5 minutes away and the Supercor about a 15 minute walk. Although in a built up area it is very private and surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Such a beautiful relaxing place to stay.We enjoyed every minute of staying here and if we return to this area will not hesitate to stay here again.Thank you Marc.

The house is indeed very nicely located. It has all the comfort expected for a family holiday with a nice pool, barbecue, the beach around the corner, a couple of restaurant and a quiet neighborhood. We were very well received by the owner and the one or two questions on where to find things we had during our stay was very quickly resolved.

Having taken our first family villa holiday ( parents, children and granchildren ), was a bit dubious at first to book this direct ourselves without using the branded travel agents.But it was a lot easier than we initialy thought it would be.The villa was amazingly spacious, good sized rooms and swimming pool, which was well used by all. Well stocked gardens and the location was very private, but not too distant from the beach and other locations, which was easily accessible through public transport. ie. Gibraltar, Marbella.Also spent many days walking into San Pedro and Puerto Ban'us to taste the local cuisine.A very enjoyable holiday for all ages.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette villa !! Le quartier est agréable et la villa est à quelques minutes à peine de la grande promenade du bord de mer. Le jardin est magnifique et l'on a plaisir à y passer du temps, avant de profiter de la très grande piscine. C'est très propre et notre hôte met à disposition tout le matériel nécessaire. Nous recommandons cette maison !! Herzlichen Dank an Marc Alexander für die gute Vorbereitung und Begrüßung!

Beautiful garden and a very cosy villa!

We stayed for one week with our our adult childeren. It is a cousy house , with a very nice swimmingpool and well equipped garden. We could see that the house is normally inhabited with many books on the shelves etc. . That makes you feel at home. The owner is very polite and helpful. All you need is in the neighborhood: supermarket at 800 m , the beach at 350 m.

A fantastic property, well proportioned and laid out. Pool and gardens are amazing and it is well located with the beach minutes walk away. The Villa is very private and quite but within walking distance of Porto Banus and San Pedro allowing us to enjoy both relaxing and chilled days as well as the vibrant night life. Marc was fantastic meeting us at the property and explaining how the property worked and also the lay of the land and what to do and where to go locally. After spending 4 weeks in the Villa we cannot recommend the property and the owner more. Thank you Marc

We were to families travelling with kids and Marc`s house was perfect! It was spacious, with all we needed. The garden and the pool was amazing, we enjoyed it a lot. The area around was also nice, quiet and we felt safe all the time. Nice walk to the supermarket, even With the small kids. Thanks a lot for letting us stay, Marc, you did everything to make sure we had a good time and if there were any questions you answered quickly. We loved Our stay and would definitely recommened the Villa to other Travelers. Best regards from the Norwegian families

From my initial communication with Marc, I knew that this was going to be a great holiday. He took the time to respond to all of our questions and provided lots of information about the local area. We were delayed collecting our hire car from the airport but I let Marc know and he was waiting for us as we arrived. He took the time to walk us round each room and make we were happy with everything. The Villa is wonderful. We often woke to the sound of birds tweeting and had leisurely breakfasts on the patio. The kitchen has everything you would need to make really quite advanced meals although we used the BBQ often. Did I mention that it's huge? You can lose people in it. We were there with a heavy snorer and we didn't hear him once! The upstairs balcony is a nice area if you want to some private time. The pool is perfect, big enough to swim lengths and play games in. The Villa is walking distance to restaurants in San Pedro and close to the beach. This was easily the best 7 nights we've spent in Spain and we will be back. Thanks Marc for a lovely stay.

We have just returned from our holiday in this beautiful Villa. Marc was fantastic from start to finish felt very looked after! Villa has everything you need & more. Thank you so much for stocking the fridge for us very much appreciated after our long journey. We didn't want to leave , the pictures really don't do it justice it's so vast and spacious. The swimming pool is huge and we had so much fun! Thank you from all of us for a wonderful holiday.

Die Villa liegt in einem schönen, gepflegten Villenquartier. Die Lage ist bezüglich Weg zum Strand und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurant`s optimal. Trotz dieser guten Lage bezüglich Einkauf und Restaurants ist es immer sehr sehr ruhig. Wir haben in der Villa sechs Wochen verbracht und waren mit dem Aufenthalt sehr, sehr happy und glücklich. Die Villa hat sehr viel Charm und bietet anhand Grösse auch bei mehreren Urlaubern eine sehr gute Privatsphäre. Der Garten ist wunderbar, überall blühen Blumen und es gibt viele verschiedenste Blumen zu entdecken. Auch bietet der Garten genügend Platz um mit den Kids etwelche Ballspiele zu machen. Die Poolanlage wird min. jeden zweiten Tag gereinigt. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und waren den ganzen Urlaub über sehr gut betreut. Wir können das Anwesen herzlich empfehlen und kommen gerne bei nächster Gelegenheit wieder.

Just returned home from a fabulous long weekend away with friends who recommended the villa to us when they stayed for two weeks in April. The villa was beautiful especially the outside with all the flowers in bloom, the weather was lovely for that time of year and we will defiantly will be returning next year. Would highly recommend.

Très belle maison magnifique jardin fleuri tout près de la mer nous avons également apprécié l'entretien discret de la piscine

La villa est superbe est très propre a notre arrivé tout était nickel de plus le jardin est la piscine sont juste incroyable ! Toute les chambres disposent de leur propre salle de bain/toilette, dans un état impeccable ! Nous étions 6 adultes et un bébé est avons tous passé un agréable séjour. La villa est très bien situé, a quelque pas du bord de mer, (5min de marche) et il y a un supermarché et bar a 5min. Marc a était un super hôte du début a la fin. il est très professionnel, et très a l'écoute, nous le remercions. Le plus de cette location reste pour moi la piscine et le jardin et la location !

We returned yesterday from a week-long stay at Marc’s beautiful villa, situated in Cortijo Blanco urbanisation, a well-established suburb of the Marbella region. As a family of three – my wife and I and our 7 month old – we were spoiled by the generous 4 double bedrooms, communal areas and outdoor space (the villa sits on quite an ample plot of verdant grass secured by high walls lined with purple bougainvillea). Large or multiple families would be well accommodated here. Marc greeted us on arrival, helping us with our luggage into the master bedroom and then giving us a tour of the property. He was very helpful answering our questions – we were particularly eager to locate a supermarket to get stocked up on food and drinks ahead of the England game playing later that day – and even sent me directions via WhatsApp. Unlike some of the other guests before us, we did opt for a car rental. It is by no means essential or necessary but did make those supermarket trips easier and the wider region more accessible. I would recommend a walk to Puerto Banús marina (a chance to see super yachts and supercars) and a visit to the towns of Marbella and Estepona for eating, shopping and soaking up some Spanish culture. The villa is equipped with a large SMART tv hooked up to Satellite (Euro channels, mostly German) and has a decent wireless provision of broadband connectivity. I ran a speed test from my IPad and clocked a download speed of 35MB, which is ample for any streaming services you have on your mobile device (you can run Netflix right off the tv). There are also board games and a collection of English and German books for entertainment. Our recommendation to Marc would be to install air conditioning sometime in the future (fans are provided and do a fairly good job of cooling the bedrooms down at night). Overall, this was a great holiday for us and we highly recommend Villa don Carlos to others.
