We recently returned home (unfortunately!) after staying at the villa from the 3rd - 10th October. We returned home relaxed, tanned and all talking about the fantastic holiday we've just had! We hired a car at Malaga airport and the villa was only a relatively short car journey away (approx 30-35 mins) and very easy to find due to the directions supplied by Lauren.
Upon arriving at the villa late in the afternoon we felt immediately relaxed. The pool was warm, clean and ready to dive into, and the villa was immaculately presented throughout. The villa didn't have the typical 'rental villa feel' and was more like a home from home. It was furnished to a very good standard throughout and we had everything provided for a great family villa whether sunny or raining. The weather (although obviously not guaranteed) was superb and didn't drop below 29'C in the day all week with no rain!!! As the pool was heated we took full advantage of swimming at all times of the day.
The service and general level of communication received from Lauren before, during and after our holiday faultless, resulting in a stress free enjoyable holiday.
The villa is located in a very quiet and exclusive residential area only a short drive from Marbella. There is a local supermarket only a short walk away, along with a fantastic range of restaurants and bars. We found a couple of firm favorites within easy staggering distance!
We took several day trips while away; We spent a day in Marbella exploring both the old and new parts of the city, an afternoon/evening was spent at the port of Estepona, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon and evening around the bars and restaurants in Puerto Banus. Worth particular mention is the city of Ronda which is rich in culture and history, and requires you to take an 'interesting' if not a little scary route up the mountains, but offers the most spectacular views. The Nerja Caves are about a 90 minute drive and are well worth a visit! Usually a few 'beach days' are a standard part of any holiday, (and there's beaches in walking distance from the villa) although we spent the rest of our time at the villa relaxing in and around the superb pool!
I would firmly recommend staying at the villa with family and friends and hope to stay there again myself in the not too distant future! The location, villa, pool, local amenities, and the service received from Lauren all score 10/10!
