Alhaurin de la Torre holiday villa

My partner and I have just returned from a lovely week in Alhaurin De La Torre. Elaine, Micheal & Ruby were perfect hosts in the week we spent at the casita very much echoing the comments on the previous reviews. The Casita is very comfortable, spacious, clean and very homely.

We chose not to hire a car for this holiday because we didn't want to spend our week away driving all the time. In saying that it is probably a 30min walk from the casita to the centre of town. I would not recommend walking back, it is uphill all the way and my partner and I got lost in the dark but finally navigated our way back home. There are a couple of taxi ranks which charged us 8 euros back to the casita which was very reasonable.

The town itself is very much a local town hardly any tourists which was a bonus. We ate at a couple of restaurants which were all lovely, great food, service and they will do their upmost to keep you happy.

The two best parts of the holiday were the pool and the hospitality of Elaine & Micheal. The pool was bliss lots of peace & quiet whether it was reading a book, listening to music or enjoying the scenery surrounding the villa. Elaine & Micheal were extremely forthcoming in helping us in all aspects whether it was helping us get to the supermarket, taking us for a personal tour around the town showing us the best places to drink, eat etc.

I would highly recommend this place for a holiday, you will not be disappointed. It was what we expected based on the previous reviews and a lot more.

this is the place to go for a perfect relaxing holiday.
the casita was clean & tidy.
mike & elaine were very friendly and helpful
a car is essential as it's quite away from the town but the restaurants are fabulous.
for a couple i would say this was the ideal place to go
my wife and i will certainly be going back

We have recently returned from a weeks stay in this lovely casita. Situated in the grounds of the owners house the accomodation is self contained and contained everything we required. The owners were the perfect hosts, stiking just the right balance between providing good customer service and ensuring us our privacy. It was great to have them on hand to ask about the best places to visit and eat, some of which we would never have found by ourselves. The location is perfect for getting out and about, be it exploring quaint Spanish towns, driving to the coast, or inland to the lakes and mountains. A car is essential and we found ourselves exploring more than we had expected, usually being content to relax by the pool. The owners have a boxer dog, which was not mentioned in the literature. Having said that, she was no bother to us but if you don't like dogs you might want to bear that in mind. If we had to find a down side it would be that there were no restaurants or bars within walking distance. That said, it did not spoil a very enjoyable week in a lovely area of Spain.
