Reviews of Property: 4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom apartment overlooking orange grove,stunning views, PAYPAL

This flat is a very clean and comfortable flat with excellent views to the rear over the orange groves to the mountains beyond, it is within easy reach of the town with very good resturants and a nice shopping centre, and on most Thusday mornings there is a very good market, just off the town centre well worth a visit. We did enjoy our holiday the weather could not have been better sunshine for a whole week and in November too great, we will certainly be going back again next year.

Our party of four, all "Golden Oldies", spent a fantastic two weeks here in September 2008. The apartment is immaculate and well maintained, with all the facilities required for a good holiday and beautiful views over the orange groves to the mountains from the two terraces. The locals are friendly and the weather was excellent with only two days' rain out of the fourteen. Although we didn't hire a car we had no problem getting a taxi into the centre of town, and a leisurely walk to Church Square with a stop for coffee or a cold drink on the way was always enjoyable through the typically Spanish streets. The atmosphere in Church Square on Saturday evenings is fantastic with locals and holidaymakers sitting outside the tapas bars enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine . . . we saw two weddings and a funeral there one Saturday evening! Although there are no major stores, any provisions can be found within yards of the apartment - two mini-markets with butcher counters, a baker, fruit shop, bars, excellent restaurants and cafes. An ideal spot for a relaxing holiday, even without a car, and within easy travelling distance of the coast if you want. I would strongly recommend this property - we are hoping to return next year.

Situated in a quiet location in the western part of the town, the spacious accommodation was clean and comfortable, with terrific views from the rear terrace over orchards and fincas to the sierras beyond.
The main commercial centre of the town is a pleasant 15 minute walk away past some beautifully restored traditional Spanish townhouses, while a small supermarket, restaurant and baker's are much closer at hand, together with the usual range of bars/cafeterias.
For those who haven't hired a car, the main bus stop is also about 15 minutes away and there was a regular hourly service to Malaga and several buses a day to Mijas.
There is easy access from the apartment to the main roads to these two locations, plus farther west to Ronda and north to a series of reservoirs, apparently known locally as the lake district. Practically every village en route is worth a visit.
The area's scenery was generally impressive and, in parts, wonderful and much greener than we had expected at that time of year.
We particularly liked the fact that, although there was a sprinkling of foreign toursists, Alhaurin is not geared towards mass tourism. Money has clearly been spent on renovating properties but this work has been done in traditional Spanish style.
The accommodation provides an ideal inland base from which to tour some of Andalucia's interior, whilst also being handily placed should a short trip to the coast be required. We have no hesitation in recommending both Alhaurin and this accommodation for those not wishing to become beach lobsters and, in fact, we have already done so. We shall definitely be back.

This is the second time our family (mum,dad, a 14, 12 & 8 year old) have stayed in this property and just as before we had a great holiday. The property is spacious and clean - we spent most of our time out on the terrace.

It is ideally situated for sightseeing. We hired a car at the airport and used it for all our trips - frequent visits to the pool at Mijas, the beaches at Marbella and Estepona and further afield to Rhonda, Cordoba and the Alhambra Palace at Granada (all well worth a visit).

At the end of the day we either stocked up at the local supermarket or went into town. There is a great choice of restaurants and bars and you get a chance to experience the Spanish way of life.

Go and find out for yourselves - you'll have a great time!

I would strongly recommend this property. We visited in March this year. The weather was fantastic, warm and nice for sitting out and sightseeing. The property is charming and immaculate. The bedrooms a nice size and the bathrooms large and elegant. The owners are friendly and helpful and the description of the property is accurate. The terraces are a great feature - there are two, one up top where there is always sun and one below where you can sit in the shade. Both look over a lovely orchard.

The choice of restaurants is endless and the town bustling and lively. Great choice of food, wonderful Paella and seafood as well as tapas. Out of town there are lovely drives and places to visit around. Malaga is 25 minutes away, Marbella a bit further.

We will definitely be going again next year and I'd recommend this for families or couples who want to experience a characterful region of Spain, great customer service and a clean and welcoming house.
