Simply the best

Superb Villa
We were looking for a safe family holiday in Spain, for October half term, with friends, there were 4 adults and 7 children. The location was important to us as at this time of year the weather is not guaranteed.
We found Villa Cabopino, through friends who are loyal return visitors, I must say the location, the accommodation and the grounds are excellent. Garry and Bernie were wonderful thought the booking process and frankly lived up to all expectations as we were greeted at the airport and taken to the Villa.
As we were a large party, Garry and Bernie also arrange for accommodation for the 'overspill' guests in a quality apartment a few minutes walk from the villa - making it all very easy for us.
The accommodation was simply excellent - quite beautifully presented, pristine and welcoming and just as the site described.
We had use of the pool, and our hosts found some inflatable's for the children and outside kitchen/bar area, a cabin with washing machine and extra bed and a lovely garden where the children had a great time. We were able to relax and have fun, whilst Garry and Bernine remained impeccable and discreet neighbours.
The villa is set in its own secure grounds and walking distance from the post and great beach of Cabo Pina, restaurant,bars bus route and local entertainment. We hired a car and everything was really accessible.
While we were there we visited all around the coast there was plenty of attractions and fun family things to do and everywhere was well signposted and easy to get to. We had a fantastic holiday.
The weather was simply wonderful too - we averaged 25 degrees every day.
Everything was simply perfect, we did not want to leave and will almost certainly return.
Thanks to Garry and Bernie for making our hard earned holiday simply brilliant.
We would recommend Villa Cabopino to anybody and will definitely be booking to return ourselves.
Owner's Response: Many thanks for another lovely review.

It was great to have such gorgeous weather for their stay, which made a major difference, and we are delighted that they have already booked for next year.

A Fabulous Return

Review Submitted: September 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
yet again we return from a fabulous holiday at Villa Cabopino- and again we have booked for next year. It was great to see Garry and Bernie again and of course Olie! They are terrific hosts and one of the nicest couples you could ask for.

The Villa was everything we remembered and we ahev booked for next year withe same confidance as last. This year we visited Puerto Banus on the Saturday as they have a a big market there located up past the Bullring. The village of Mijas is lovley and very quint with lots of craft shops. We also went to Benalmadena and visited the Marina which is stunning.

We barbacued a lot but can recommend the Cabo Pizza (just like dominos) take away and Da Brunos Italian both were very good.

Although we hired a car this year, the local bus service is terrific and the bus stops are only about 200yds away..

If you are looking to book a Villa - this will tick all the boxes and more.

Thank you Garry and Bernie for another great year and we all look forward toi seeing you again in 2010.

Ollie - we will bring you scottish sausage!!

Owner's Response: It was really lovely to see the Scot's crowd again, and we are so pleased that they enjoyed their return trip.

The fact that they decided to stay for a bit longer this time, was an added bonus, as they did get about a bit, to see the local sights.

We are delighted that they have already booked again for next year and look forward to seeing you all again then.

Excellent Villa

M.A.B Coventry, England
Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We arrived at the villa in the dark and we were greeted with the most beautiful display of lights around the garden and in the pool, what a start to our holiday!
The villa is fantastic, very spacious with all the facilities as promised, it is very safe and I felt that I could relax and not have to worry about being over looked. It is ideal for families, children are able to play in the gardens safely without the fear of them getting out or anyone getting in. The villa and the pool are immaculate and well maintained.
Gary and Bernie are so friendly and helpful not just with looking after the villa but in ensuring that your stay is the best it could possibly be.
If you can tear yourselves away from the pool! the beach and port are a 10 minute walk away; nice restaurants and cafes around the port, good for happy hour!
There area couple of small supermarkets within walking distance and no end of good restaurants.
The aim of our holiday was to relax and chill out so we did not visit many of the local attractions but there is a lot of literature in the villa if you want to see the sights.
The local taxis are very reliable if you do not want to hire a car and they have set rates which means they are very reasonable.
I would reccomend this villa to everyone but I think it is perfect for families, you can have a quiet, relaxed holiday away from the crowds.
Owner's Response: Thanks for another lovely review, from another lovely family.
We would be delighted to see you all again soon.

Best holiday ever.

Jonii Helsinki, Finland
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had absolutely fantastic holiday at Villa Cabopino. If you want to enjoy your own peace and want to spend time with your friends or family this is your place. There were 9 of us and we had great bbq parties after hot days at poolside and trips to fantastic sights. Location was great but we recommend to rent a car. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. Garry, Bernie and Ollie were great and gave us good tips for shopping and nightlife.

We really recommend this place. Everything worked perfectly...
Owner's Response: A great review from a great bunch of people.
We are very pleased that they enjoyed their stay with us, and have to say, that they left the place absolutely spotless, so thanks for that.
We would be delighted to see you all again soon.

Villa Cabopino

Dawn,Neil,Brad,Tracey and kids wirral,merseyside
Review Submitted: July 25, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The 7 of us had a great holiday, between our 2 families there are 4 adults and 3 children. The villa was fab and all previous reviews sum it up. I've got to say for children it is the safest holiday we have ever been on, the villa is extremely secure and if Gary and Bernie hear the gate open from downstairs they always have their door open to check, as well as needing a key to enter the property you need one to exit.
We didn't hire a car and to be honest if we went this time of year again we would but purely due to the heat, saying that Gary and Bernie took us to the supermarket whenever we needed to go. We found the campsite, which is a 10 min walk away, excellent for the children, the food was great as well and reasonable. If you've got active kids you can pay for a day pass for the kids (5 Euros) to join in camp activities. We didn't do it this time but when we go back our 8 year old son definitely wants to do it. The beach is clean and safe and you really don't need anything more from a holiday. If anyone is thinking of booking Villa Cabopino I would say trust the reviews you couldn't want anything more from a holiday. Thank to Gary and Bernie
Owner's Response: Many Thanks for another lovely review, from another lovely family.
They really made the most of the pool and local beach, and, although they found the weather a bit too hot at times, the boys certainly new how to cool down.........

Fantastic Villa

Craig & Liz Coventry
Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This was definately one of the best holidays we have ever had. The villa is beautiful very luxurious and with plenty of room for everyone. It has everything you need and is excellently maintained and very clean. We had two young childern with us and found the property very safe and child friendly, the pool is a great size and the kids had loads of fun in it.
Puerto Cabopino has a lovely beach and port and some excellent restaurants, there is plenty to do around Cabopino and it is easy to visit near by resorts as the villa is centrally located.
The owners Garry and Bernie provide excellent customer service and make fantastic hosts and Oliver the dog made the kids holiday. We will definately book this villa again next year and would recommend it to family and friends. Thanks for a great holiday, see you next year.

Villa Cabopino - Stay from May 30 to June 6

Simon & Vicky Redhill, Surrey, UK
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!

Beautiful villa

Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We were all very impressed with the villa, it was furnished to a high standard and very well equip. Garry and Bernie were excellent hosts and always very helpful, it was great to have them close by. The beach is a 15 minute walk away with plenty of different restaurants to choose from, and from our trip out to Marbella, the bus services seemed regular and uncomplicated. Thanks Garry and Bernie for a great holiday.

Brian & Andrea family holiday 4th -11th May 2009

Andrea and Brian Reading Berkshire
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We rented Villa Cabo Pino for a family holiday in May. Our ages range from 60 down to 9 months. From the moment we arrived Bernie and Garry made us very welcome.They gave us a tour of the area to show us where to find the beach and shops etc:and were on hand if we needed anything.
We all loved the villa and as the weather was warm and sunny we made the most of the lovely gardens and pool.
We visited quite a few places including Gibraltar, Marbella, Mijas Village and Puerto Banus.
Puerto Cabo Pino was only a short walk away.This is a really beautiful place with good restaurants and a safe beach.
The men played golf at Cabo Pino Golf Club a short distance away and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We did not eat out as our grandson was ready for bed at the end of each day! but enjoyed relaxing evenings making good use of the barbecue.
The week passed too quickly and we were all very sorry to leave. We would certainly recommend the villa and the whole area.
We plan to return next year. !!
Owner's Response: Many thanks for another fabulous review. The weather was, and has been since March, beautiful for their visit, which makes life easier for all concerned.

We would be delighted to see the family again soon!
