Luxurious Villa on The Golden Mile :Only a few steps from beach

The villa was everything we expected and a little more. Private garden with sunshine all day, quiet pool area and a almost deserted beach a true holiday getaway.

The villa was spacious and charming. Well maintained even down to a weekly gardener.

Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet base but within close reach of all amenities for all tastes.

The title says it all, what a stunning location! The pool is less than 25 metres from the front door, and the beach is literally 5 metres from the end of the pool.

We have just returned from an eleven night stay at this fabulous complex and wish we could have stayed for another week or 2.

The villa was clean and tidy, well maintained and had everything you could need. The room sizes were great, our home has particulary large rooms so when we holiday, by comparison the rooms are always a lot smaller. The master bedroom was very spacious with ample closet space, and a great ensuite. All the other rooms were as described and worked really well for us. The 3rd Bedroom (which we didn't need) is very small, with bunks, but would be fine for children.

The villa had great outdoor space, with 4 loungers and a table and chairs set. The canopy/awning that could be let out over the patio was a godsend, so allow us to dine outside whilst keeping the sun off. The view from the garden is the picture you see looking over the pool and the sea.

The villa is essentially on one level, but with 2 or 3 steps to go into the lounge. There are doors from the sitting room/dining room and master bedroom directly onto the garden. There is also a small roof terrace where the views are fabulous.

The complex itself only has about 30 properties, so we found ourselves quite often on our own in the pool. At most we saw 4/5 other families/couples.

The air conditioning was adequate and kept us cool day and night. There were 2 adult bikes available for our use, that we didn't use as we had our 2 children with us, but would have been ideal to cycle on the promenade into Puerto Banus.

There was a english speaking contact available to us at all times, should we have had any problems or needed any advice, who made a point of finding us at the pool and introducing himself to us.

The pool and complex was well maintained by a team of people all of which were very friendly.

Puerto Banus was a shortish walk from the villa along the promenade and there were various beach bars towards Marbella all close proximity. The Toni Dalli restaurant was closed for refurbishment, so I can't comment on that unfortunately.

All in all a fantastic villa and stunning location, we really hope to return and for a longer stay. Would recommend!

We came to this villa with 2 small children in October 2007 and had a lovely week. The place is very spacious, with a good size terrace. The complex is small and secure and could not be closer to the empty beach. A car is needed to get shopping etc. Great restaurants and bars within 5 minute drive, and some are a short walk away.
