We have had a fabulous holiday in your very well equipped villa. We have had a walking holiday and the area is fabulous-better than expected(Ferris family Apr 06) Coming from the Cheviots we are used to beautiful scenery but this is the most wonderful spot!.We have had a lovely holiday (Maggie June 06) Our 2 weeks at your villa has been brilliant. We are coming back next year(Wells family 06) Thanks for the villa it was great, so peaceful and relaxing. Loved the pool, table tennis and badminton. We hope to come back. I´ll recommend the place to anyone who might be looking at coming out this way. (Reg July 06) We have achieved our goal and had a wonderful, simple family quality time together...the bbq was perfectly positioned for the thirsty cook..next to the pool fridge! You have thought of everything, Casa Elanor is so well equipped.(Coultas family July 06). We´ve had a lovely family holiday for everyone from 3mths to 65 yrs. All enjoyed the thoughtfully equipped villa, games and poo
Accesibility:
Casa Elanor is only 40-45mins drive from Malaga airport which has flights from most UK airports. Many of these offer cheap flights from the budget airlines. These are even cheaper mid-week and we will accept bookings with a flexible start day to help with your travel arrangements.
Alternatively, Granada airport is an easy 90 minutes drive away on a good road. Flights are now available to Granada from some UK airports with flights costing as little 10 pounds each way.
We provide comprehensive directions from both airports and will meet you personally at the villa. We live locally and are on hand throughout your stay, should you need us.
If you wish to have day trips without the car, a good bus service runs from the village into Malaga and Ronda- both worth a visit and only 45 mins to either destination on the bus. Cheap fares and solves the parking problem. Bus timetables available in the villa.
