My wife and I had the extreme good fortune to find this wonderful,well appointed penthouse apartment and book it for a 3 month stay. It is superb with an enormous horseshoe shaped balcony which gives sensational views over the golf course and down to the Med. There are more than ample facilities and utensils. The apartment is a wee bit away from the shops and you need transport, but we knew this and were prepared for it. Steve, (the owners friend) is always on hand to advise or help guests with anything they might need.
There are various shops for foodstuffs scattered all over riviera del sol and Miraflores where you can get reasonably priced groceries. Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Marbella are relatively short and easy drives away. Eroski shopping centre is just as you enter fuengirola and you can get groceries,clothes in fact anything you need there. There are plenty of cafe bars and restaurants within easy reach.
As I mentioned earlier, transport is required unless you are prepared to walk some distances ,but my wife has quite severe walking dificulties and once we were parked up at the apartment block had little difficulty in using the lift to get up to the penthouse and we didn't have one single problem with the lift in the 3 months we were there.
The owner is friendly,helpful and a pleasure to deal with. My wife and I will certainly enquire about using this apartment again when we next visit the area.

Owner's Response: neil & mags were a pleasure to deal with and I thank them for their comments and look forward to them visiting again. As mentioned in my site, car hire is recommended due to the elevated position of the penthouse and the tranquil location. There are a number of great supermarkets, restaurants, bars, golf courses and beaches all close by, if you book the apartment and require details of these, I will be happy to recommend the ones that I have been to.
a very nice experience.

Is`nt it great when you get what you`re promised!
My wife,daughter and I have just enjoyed a lovely week in your apartment which was just as described.
You handled our initial enquiry and subsequent booking with friendly efficiency and provided all the pre travel info anyone could need.
On arrival and throughout our stay your friend Steve was superb, he made sure we were "at home" from the start and proved to be the ideal local contact during the week.
The apartment was spacious,well furnished and , most importantly, clean and fresh.
A real bonus with your penthouse position is ,of course , the continuos terrace that surrounds the apartment providing great views and sun from dawn t`il dusk.
The position in Riviera was ideal for us because it is close to friends who live further down the hill but it is a location that I feel demands a hire car to access even the nearest shops etc.
The car also means that within a 15-20 min drive in any direction a huge range of beaches , golf courses , shopping and lovely traditional villages are accessible .
I will be happy to recommend your apartment to family and friends and yours will be the first number I call when planning my next visit.

Have just spent a week in Jayne's apartment, only regret is that it wasn't longer! I was there with my husband, our seventeen year old son and my mum. Husband and son golfed at La Cala Resort on all 3 courses and thought they were superb. It was around a 20 minute drive away.
Steve met us at the apartment and very kindly took us to a supermarket and then came with my husband and I to show us the way to La Cala - above and beyond his duty!
Really felt comfortable in the apartment and the terrace was a wonderful facility.
The area was really nice and so peaceful. We hope to visit again and can't imagine a better apartment for such a reasonable rent.

This was our 2nd stay in this appartment and we have to say it gets better every time,steve was on hand to meet us and give us all his knowledge about the surrounding area,the appartment was just as nice as we remembered and the facilities excellant. Contact with JAYNE the owner was always friendly what a lovely lady,this year we met lots of people and our eldest daughter loved days round the pool, also the surrounding restaurants and bars were ideal for us a family with 2 young children,the riviera grill overlooking the ocean was extra special and also watching footy in georges bar wasnt bad either!!!!! We will be booking again for next year,without a doubt,couldnt have had a better hoiday!!!! Many thanks

This is the third occasion that my wife and I have stayed at this penthouse has it is so relaxing and quiet with the additional benefit of all-day sun, We have just stayed for a month and have had a great holiday, I would advise having a car hire which we had, as it enables you to access all different parts of Spain such as Granada and Sevilla where we spent week-ends and then return to the penthouse to relax again, terrific, will visit again soon many thanks, clem

A well appointed penthouse with great views from mountain to sea and the golf fairway below. The enormous terrace that surrounds three sides of the penthouse makes it possible to always find the sun and get out of any wind there may be.
A car is necessary, but access to the apartment could not be easier. Car to lift to apartment. Electrically operated gate provides good secure parking. Shops and restaurants are all readily available. The TV gives access to BBC1,2,3 & 4. ITV. Ch 4 & 5 and of course both BBC and Sky News channels.
The property was clean and the owner is an excellent communicator and provides very good customer service. This was not our first stay and hopefully will not be our last and we have no hesitation in recommending it as a destination for a relaxing holiday.

5 Seville (2.5hrs) but well worth it.
All in all a great 2 weeks holiday.

Having just returned from this delightful apartment I can only say good things about it. If your ideal holiday is to just laze about in the sun in a home from home apartment then this is the place. We loved it so much we are already booked for another 2 weeks later in the year.
The all around balcony supplies day long sun or shade whichever you prefer in a quiet and peaceful setting.
The apartment is well equipped for self catering or there are many eateries within a short driving distance (a car is a necessity).
Please don't all rush to book for next year - so I can be really selfish and choose my dates first!!

Hi Jayne,
Many thanks for the rental of your lovely penthouse at Miraflores, We had three wonderful weeks there and did not want to leave, It was so relaxing and we really liked the area with the golf course so handy for a evening meal and entertainment,
The penthouse was really lovely with so much room and sunshine all day from its very large terrace, we would certainly rent again. Many thanks, Frank & Doll.

We stayed here last October with my sister and her husband (apologies for delay in posting review!!) It was fabulous. It had averything you need for a great holiday. We are golfers and had a lovely view of Miraflores golf course. The terrace was fantastic and could be accessed from any room of the apartment. Plenty of space for us all to sit in the sun at any time of the day!! Certainly stay there again!!
