Overview
Description
This sunny, private villa is situated in a quiet, residential area just a few minutes walk from the beach. The villa has a large balcony giving magnificent, panoramic views of the mountains and sea. In one direction you can look up into the hills and the white-walled village of Benalmadena Pueblo. In the other, the blue seas of the Mediterranean stretch out in front of you.Boasting its own unshared, secluded pool, sun terraces and gardens, the villa is ideal for a family summer holiday and for couples whatever their age. It is equally perfect for a romantic get-away.
Located just 25 minutes from Malaga Airport, the villa is situated in a quiet, mature complex that stretches from the beach back into the hills.
With gardens walled to give total privacy, visitors can relax in tranquil surroundings while access to the local sports centre with floodlit tennis and paddle courts, large swimming pool and other amenities is only minutes away, as are world class golf courses.
With just a 5-minute walk to the local railway station and a 10-minute stroll down to the beach, it is difficult to imagine anywhere more ideally positioned. The proximity of the train station and local bus stop makes it an ideal location to explore both the Costa and the 'real' Spain.
The large terraces and the private swimming pool are the first things that will greet you on arrival at the property. When you open the front door to the villa, you will look into the spacious lounge with marble floors and high ceilings complete with huge picture window and large balcony looking down to the sea. This room is equipped with a remote operated ceiling fan and air-conditioning which also provides heat in the winter. It also has a TV, cable, a DVD player, a well-stocked book-case and some family games.
Next to the main room is the fully fitted kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine and coffee and tea making facilities.
Downstairs are the two double bedrooms each equipped with air-conditioning and ceiling fans which keep them cool for those hot summer evenings, as well as the bathroom with shower and twin wash basins.
At the entrance to the urbanisation there is a bar and restaurant as well as a real-estate office in front of a renowned International English School. Just through the underpass are beaches, more bars and restaurants as well as the local 4-star hotel which has entertainment most evenings and several more bars and restaurants.
Further back in the complex is the local railway station servicing the coast from Malaga via the airport through to Fuengirola - it is even possible to take a series of trains all the way from London to the urbanisation - one of our clients did! To the side of the station there is a small road that winds up into the hills to the village of Benalmadena Pueblo which offers stupendous views over the coastal plain as well as a small restaurant on nearly every corner.
This website shows our availability as well as weekly prices throughout the year and is kept fully up-to-date. We do not let the villa during the winter months and the villa is usually closed up from November to March. For the rest of the year we normally only take full-week bookings although we do allow shorter lets (minimum 3-days) where odd days are available. For bookings of 4-weeks or longer, we offer a discount on request and we always give returning clients a small loyalty reduction.
Our preferred change-over day is a Saturday as this allows our professional cleaners to schedule the change-overs effectively. Naturally, our cleaners adhere to Covid-19 best practices and you should find the villa spotless on your arrival.
Our arrival and departure times are 11am (departure) and 3pm (arrival) although we will adjust these on request whenever possible. To allow our cleaners to tailor the change-over and try to meet your travel needs, I will ask you for your travel details (flight numbers and times) before you travel.
On booking you will need to pay a 25% deposit with the remainder to be paid 30 days before your holiday commences. Both should be paid by bank transfer. I prefer not to use credit cards to keep prices as low as possible. I can take either GBP or EUR and will provide the bank details to you on booking. Please note there is also a £250 (€300) security deposit which needs to be paid with the final amount. This is to secure against breakages or other issues and will be refunded to you as soon as I receive your bank details after the holiday has finished.
Cancellation charges will apply if you cancel within 2-months of the start of your holiday. However, these charges will be refunded if I can re-let the period you have booked.

Leave ReviewGreat Stay
By Ian F on 11-Nov-2024Lovely villa in a great location. Whole process was friction free and the owner made everything a pleasure from start to finish. Would definitely recommend. We stayed for week in early November so weather was just about there as well. Great base for exploring Andalusia but if that's not your thing plenty of places locally and a ton of stuff in Benalmadena. Something for everyone really.
A lovely comfortable stay, the views are gorgeous!
By Rebecca R on 31-Oct-2024A lovely stay at this very comfortable clean villa. Having the two spaces to relax outdoors was fabulous, with incredible views from the terrace on one side complete with movie-worthy sunrises, and the pool and loungers on the other terrace where we could move to as the sun moved round. To have the lovely hillside location, and also be within walking distance of the train station, the beach, and a range of restaurants, was ideal for us. Clive was a very helpful indeed, with prompt responses to all our enquiries ahead of arrival, and the generous offer to let us check out late in the day for our evening flight since there were no new guests arriving for a few days. This was at no extra cost and was a life saver with two teenagers in tow, and particularly so given the day was soggy (thankfully we just missed the storms that caused some havoc a day later). A holiday to remember with a successful dolphin spotting boat trip, some beach and sea swimming action, lots of delicious local food, and the incredible views at the top of the Teleferico cable car. :)
Lovely villa
By Natasha B on 04-Oct-2024Had an amazing time at this villa. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing couple of days. Communication with the host was excellent and efficient.
Excellent
By Ronnie F on 17-Sep-2024Fabulous house , everything you could possibly want, and more. Gorgeous pool. Quiet residential area. Easy access to train to and from airport and towns along the coast . Some challenging hills for us oldies but local taxis were very reasonable. Very generous welcome pack including a bottle of cava. Can't think of anything negative to say, loved it !
