Alhaurin el Grande holiday villa

This was our second time at this most wonderful villa. The facilities are second to none and with the upgrade in air conditioning happening later his year, the villa really will have evrything.
The location is not easy to find first time round as it is located in a secluded mountainous area but I guess thats what makes it special. Alhaurin El Grande and Coin, the local towns, are typical Spanish but between our poor spanish and their attempts at English we were able to communicate comfortably. I would describe the local restaurants as both varied and reasonably priced, certainly much better value than the costal areas.
We recommended the villa to some friends and I was to delighted to hear that they agreed with our appraisal - first class, very clean, well kitted out, I suspect they will make a return visit.
On our most recent visit we managed to clock up 1500 kilometres, although only 15 - 20 miles from the airport we used the villa as our base to visit many great locations.
Gibraltra is about 1 hour from the villa and is a must to visit, the kids particularly enjoyed the monkeys. We learnt from previous experience and left the villa at 6.30am to ensure we missed the long ques to enter the island. Porta Banus and Marbella are also close to the villa, approx 1/2 hour drive along the wonderful new road through the mountains. We often travelled to Pt. Banus for lunch or dinner as they host the most fantastic sea food retaurants (not cheap though).
My family's favourite activity - lazing by the pool and chilling in the sun, hard to beat.

Superb villa for our stay of two families with young and older children.
We were welcomed on our arrival and nothing had been overlooked.
We enjoyed some lovely BBQ's sitting out on the terrace and later with some good wine when the children had gone to bed.
Getting ready to go out on a few evenings for eleven people was great. With the five en suite bathrooms we had no queing!
The children loved the pool and we also had the satisfaction that the villa was completely surrounded by a high wall, making it a lot more relaxing for the adults!

A good time was had by all.

Thank you.
Jane, Simon, Sam, Pete and children.

We stayed at the villa for one week,there were 10 of us,ages ranging between 7 and 75. We had a car but basically spent the time at the villa.Coin was 5 mins in the car and had a very large supermarket and some lovely restaurants but we chose to barbecue every night.The villa was lovely and we each had our own space even though we were all there together.It was perfect for a large family or a couple of families.
Steve the caretaker was very helpful and met to our needs. The villa was set in a beautiful rural location and you didn,t have to leave it if you did want to, but if you did their were places to go within easy distance with a car.The villa was clean and spacious and we would definetly stay at the villa again.
