Villa Cabopino - Stay from May 30 to June 6
Review Submitted: June 8, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
The six of us (three generations - my wife and I, our two girls (aged almost 3 and 1) and my wifes mum and husband) had a lovely time at this villa. It is very clean and modern inside but retains that traditional charm too. The rooms were nice and spacious with very good bathroom facilities, and the pool and gardens are well maintained.
I was pleasantly surprised at how warm the pool was
considering it was still May when we arrived, and our two young girls loved every minute in it! Although there are steps, marbled floors and a pool, the villa and gardens are otherwise as child friendly as you can get. The owners provided us with cot, highchair, changing mat etc and there is no means of young children escaping from the garden!
The owners, Garry and Bernie, were very hospitable and were always available to answer our questions regarding days out, places to eat, directions etc. On our first day they gave us a tour to show us the local port/beach/ supermarkets/restaurants etc.
You could definately get away without a car, although we had one and with a toddler and baby we found it easier to drive to the local beach since the parking was so easy (1 Euro donation to the car park attendant). The port and beach are lovely and you could easily have a lazy holiday at the villa and Cabopino Port and beach, although we had some days out at Marbella, Fuengirola and Mijas which are all close by.
We would definitely recommend the villa to anyone going to the area, and it is ideal for families and anyone looking for a quietish break.
Owner's Response: Thanks again for another great review.
I must agree with Simon's point about a car, it is not always needed here, due to the proximity of the Port & beach, but is very helpful for the odd day out and trip to the supermarket.
Another lovely review from another lovely family, many thanks!
