Fabulous home from home detached family friendly villa & close to all amenities.

A stunning private detached villa with a sunny south facing orientation in the lower part of Calahonda . A truly jaw dropping home away from home, designed and finished with your every need in mind, and much more than your average "holiday rental".....it is like borrowing the home of your stylish friend for a dream vacation!
Conveniently located right on the coast and nestled between Fuengirola and Marbella, Calahonda is one of the largest property developments on the Costa del Sol and is incredibly popular with European tourists and expats.
Calahonda is also in a great position to easily access the many local amenities and beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol and is perfect for a family Spanish villa holiday. The local area is very quite and safe both by day and night.
Malaga Airport is normally just a half hour drive away and with 10 superb golf courses all within a ten kilometre radius, Calahonda truly is the perfect villa holiday destination!
Our villa is in a very well established urbanisation / community, and many of these properties now have their own small pools. Luckily for us, this leaves us with a beautiful, safe, well maintained and under used 12 metre pool in the large garden, which is shared by a small number of properties. The pool area is easily accessible through our garden gate, and is less than 20 metres away from the villa door. It is not unusual that you will enjoy "exclusive" use of the pool, even in the high season!
The villa has a private garden with a south facing terrace that overlooks directly onto the pool, and is ideal for sunbathing, barbecues and al fresco dining. The terraced garden is accessed from the patio doors of the living room, the master bedroom and kitchen. The property is on three levels, (split levels) the lower level is the terrace and large living room and the middle level is the contemporary dining room with its own doors leading out to the small west facing terrace and the fully equipped modern kitchen The three large bedrooms and bathrooms are on the upper level. Access to the property is from the road via the carport, access to the villa is down a flight of exterior steps to the entrance door and terrace area. Hence we do not recommend the villa as suitable for the elderly, disabled and wheelchair users.
A rental car is not essential, but is recommended. However there are regular buses to Fuengirola and Marbella on the main A7 road every half hour, early till late.
Numerous restaurants, bars, minimarkets, supermarkets, shops, banks, pharmacy, medical centre, dentist, gym, car hire, tennis / paddle courts and the Siesta golf 9 hole course are all within a 5 or 10 minutes easy walk from the villa.
It takes leisurely 15 minutes to walk down to the beautiful Luna Beach, of Calahonda.
and about 20 minutes to walk to the beautiful Marina at Cabopino.
It normally takes about 15 minutes to drive to Marbella.
It normally takes about 20 minutes to drive to Puerto Banús.
It normally takes about 30 minutes to drive to Malaga airport.
It normally takes around 2 hours to drive up to the Sierra Nevada, ski resort.
It normally takes around 2 hours to drive to either Seville or Granada.
It normally takes around 90 minutes to drive along the coast to Gibraltar.
It also normally takes around 90 minutes to drive inland to Ronda and almost the same to the incredible Caminito del Rey, to walk through the famous gorge at El Choro.
Please note that all stated drive times are of course just a guide, and are traffic conditions dependant on the day!
