Reviews of Property: Fabulous 3 Bed Penthouse Holiday Apartment. Excellent Location & Superb Sea View

Hi Sharon and Darren. We really enjoyed to stay in your fantastic apartment in the hills of Costa del Sol. The apartment is brilliant; there is everything you need and more. Just think about something and you will find it in one of the closets. The decoration is beautiful and perfectly placed. It is a first class stay. The first thing we noticed where the fantastic light coming in and the amazing view to Africa. The terrace is calling for you and the hours fly by while you enjoy the view, the sun, a nice glass of white wine and a big bowl of fresh shrimps just heated on the BBQ. This is what heaven must be like. The Pools in Princes Park are very nice and very well maintained and we have spent many hours of fun there with the children. You also have a very well equipped tourist information book. There are so many things to see and do in Costa del Sol and too little time to do it all. We have to come back. Thank you again for a very great holiday and we look forward to visit you again in the nearest future. Kind regards Jesper, Tina and kids

Situated outside a functional town, on the hillside, the apartment has excellent views ot to sea. The complex is mainly residential, so very quiet and well kept (pools are often empty!). A car is recommended, as although there are 4 seperate pool complexes and a supermarket and restaurants within 10 min walk, there's so much to see and explore locally (and definately not at all architypical "Brits abroad"). The apartment is huge with every conceiveable extra: from hairdryers in every room to a cool box and beach toys to take on the beach. Outside the apartment there is a patio off the kitchen (great for drying washed clothes/ also stores a cupboard full of beach toys etc), but then there's also a huge L-shaped balcony around the lounge, dining room, bedrooms! which has dual sided, far-reaching sea views: probably the best apartment in the complex for such views. The furnishing appointment is 5-star (even the outdoor furniture)- from leather sofas in the lounge, to cool satin curtains and bed-throws in the bedrooms, to matching wicker deck recliners/3 piece patio set and coffee table/6 seater outdoor glass table chairs and sunshade. The kitchen has everything, incl. washing machine and dishwasher , and there is an outside BBQ area. We are a family of 2 adults and 4 children (aged 6 to 9) and can't think of anything we missed. The owners are great with loads of info prior to arrival, and the cleaning/local management team(a very pleasant English couple) meet you on arrival and to settle you in. Calahonda is centrally placed with Marbella 15 mins drive one way, and Fuengerola/Torremolinas 15 mins drive the other. In between there are a number of beautiful, safe beaches (esp Capobino) lined with attractive, delightful restaurants. Along this same coast is a waterpark, zoo, sea-life centre, museum...to name a few. Mijas is a pretty Spanish town 10 mins away on the mountainside. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment and location to anyone, but do recommend a car. I am sure like us, having been you'll feel hard pushed to find anywhere so luxurious and well placed, not just on the Costa Del Sol, but anywhere in Europe. If only you could pick up the apartment up and take it with you on your next holiday!

Having been in the area of Marbella several times we booked this apartment a year ago - and very glad we did so. Everything you read about it on the website is true, except that the combination of a great terrace and views was much better !! Breakfast and evening BBQs on this terrace were a feast. Sharon and Darren have equipped this appartment with alot of care, specially reflected in the details - chapeau to both of you!! To top it up you also ensured everything was arranged perfectly.
We do advice you rent a car - the jogging trip to/back from the supermercado was a challenge to say the least - and Sharron can help even with that. By car everything is a mere few minutes drive - restaurants, beaches, shops (Lidl also open Sundays) and even a funny game of golf at La Siesta GC - kind of alpine pitch & putt, where you have to avoiding hitting the ball into the apartments - my son and I had a great time.
No doubt this Dutch family will be back soon.
Tot ziens and thanks for making this a great holiday.

What a holiday!! I booked this apartment for my 30th birthday and we had the most fantastic time and loved this apartment sooooo much! It was just the best setting and what a view! Everything about it was great and totally faultless. This is a wonderful relaxing apartment in a great location with more than enough facilities and we just loved the area too as it was so easy to get to places very quickly and easily. The owner kept in touch frequently with us which was very helpful and she even arranged our car hire for us. Thank you so much Sharon for everything, you helped to make our holiday and my birthday perfect. We will definitely be looking to book this apartment again when we return to Calahonda, will be back soon. If Carlsberg made apartments........!!

Thanks Sharon for providing a well furnished and well set out luxurious apartment, we had a great week and the balcony with the sun all day put the icing on the cake. Everything you could want from a holiday home,Once again a big thanks. Frank & Emma (London)

I just spend a perfect week in this penthouse. It is exactely conform the discription (maybe even better) and a good place for relaxing, golf etc. I would defenitely recommend this penthouse to my friends, because it is really value for your money.
I hope to be back soon and this says enough about the quality.

"A Month in 'La Vista' Princess Park Calahonda"

Having just spent 4 glorious weeks in this apartment we would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in Calahonda.The apartment couldn't be faulted (other than the fridge door opening the wrong way!!). It was beautifully furnished and it didn't take us long to feel entirely at home. Our family came out to join us for a week and there was more than enough room for us all. (They thought it wonderful too.) We would have to agree with some of the other reviews which said how quick Sharon was to get back to us when we first enquired about the apartment and she kept in touch frequently before and after our stay, this was much appreciated. If you feel energetic enough the walk up to the look out tower is worth it---the view is spectacular!! Thanks also to Tom and Jackie who were on hand if needed.
Will definitely keep this wonderful apartment in mind if we return to Calahonda in the future."

My wife, my 6-year-old daughter and myself spent one wonderful week in the apartment. The well equipped kitchen, the fully furnitured dining, living and bedrooms didn´t make you miss a single thing.
Also the entertainment package, consisting out of playcards, toys, DVD-player, SKY-receiver and iPod/iPhone-docking station made evening - in our case winter evenings - nice and comfortable.
The apartment´s terrace and view are just superb - havn´t seen anything alike during my previous 4 visits to Spain.
The location is an ideal basis for excursions to the BIG 3 in the area, Granada, Cordoba and Ronda.
Last but not least, thanks a lot to the warm pre- and after-vacation care by our hosts who made all necessary administration the simpliest way for us. Surely we can recommend that place.
