LA CALA, Luxury Villa, Beside Beach, Private Pool, Secluded garden, Wifi, Golf

Luxury one level Private Villa on the outskirts of La Cala, and only ¨200 meters to Beach¨´ (2 minutes walk ,) is bright and airy, in a quiet private avenue containing only a few villas, and only 5 mins walk to Playa Chaparral also adjacent to El Chaparral Golf. This is not your normal holiday rental, as it has everything you will need to make it home from home. Enclosed garden surrounds the villa, and gets the sun all day . (lawned and terraced) mature, secluded and extremely private, surrounded by high trees and bushes. and not overlooked with its' own private 8 x 4 pool. There are various terraces for sunbathing and "Al Fresco dining" with outside BBQ., Sun beds surrounding the pool, with garden sofas and chairs. There is even a little bar with bar stools, ideal for that evening aperitif. Although the pool area is very secluded, as It does get the sun all day., There are parasols and a pergola for dining by the pool area.
The garden can be lit at night .
There is a pergola by the pool, with dining table and night lighting, there is another outside seating area with table and chairs just by the kitchen , great for breakfast.

The beaches which are only a few hundred yards walk from the villa, are very Safe for children. There are many different little bays, some with rocks, ideal for snorkelling , others sandy. if you walk a further few hundred meters along the beach you will come to Chaparral Playa, where you will find a lovely sandy bay and little chirimgito " Wazzu Beach Bar" where you can have a light lunch or snack or a even a Sundowner early evening , they sometimes have live guitar music early evening. Parasols and beach beds for hire
The beaches generally in this area are great and sandy and very safe for children, many have been awarded BlueFlag.
Although the main coastal road is only a short distance away,, there is no noise to be heard from this.

La Cala village is only a couple of minutes by car. Where , there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars, to suit all tastes. Several supermarkets, banks, etc.

The villa is situated within the upmarket El Chaparral Golf area in a quiet urbanisation, the villa was completely renovated to a very high modern standard, only a few years ago.
There is unlimited free wifi in all rooms. (Fibre Optic with an ultra speed of 500 MBPS
About 350 meters from the villa ithere are about 7 resatuarants, a sports bar, chemist and nail salon., and supermarket which is open all hours including .Sunday's

At the top of,our avenue, there is also a new French Bistro which has only just opened this Summer (2017) ,, called Frog & Co. they even bake their own bread and croissants, try it, we have, it is excellent. El Chaparral Golf also walkable, has a lovely restaurant with the most stunning views from the terrace where you will be dining. It is open lunch and dinner to non golfers.

Just down the road on the beach, there is a lovely bay with sandie beach, Chaparral Playa, and a beach shack Called Wazzu, Where there are sun beds and Umbrellas where the locals often play music in the evenings.
Tropicana playa also just along the road on the beach with a very good restaurant also beach bed, El,Faro play, naturalist beach restaurant not so far away.

The bus service at bottom of road, will take you to La Cala and along the coast to Marbella, Fuengirola, etc.
Malaga Airport only 20 mins. Gibraltar, is 1 hr 20mins drive

La Cala village which still retains its' Spanish charm' has now 4 main supermarkets, ( Aldi, Lidl, Supersol and Mercadona) there are several banks, and plenty of restaurants and modern style tapas bars to suit all budgets and tastes.
plus several new tapas bars and upmarket restaurants (Olivia's and Purasangre) recently opened in the village of La Cala.
Just completed is the new "Wooden board walk way" which starts from La Cala and runs directly parallel to the beach along to Cabopino Marina, it is thought that it may eventually extend to Marbella in one direction and Nerja in the other direction. Along this walk way there are many litltle restaurants to stop and take a break. We are quite amazed at how many people are already taking advantage of this walk way.
You can also cycle along and there are several places in La Cala where you can hire bikes, adults and children's.
All along the coastal road which streches for miles, there are various different beaches and beach restaurants.
Many places to visit, Ronda, Cordoba, Granada, Seville are but a few all within one to two hours drive that you can visit in a day.
Or why not take a drive out to the countryside and enjoy a day by the lakes, quite stunning, where you can picnic and Swim, you can now take the 6 kilometre walk along " El Camino" through the mountains.

Fantastic Villa Holiday

Wonderful stay in a perfect holiday villa. Ideally situated for days trips across the Costa Del Sol and local amenities within easy reach. The house has everything you would need, inside and out, and has a great luxurious but homely atmosphere. Excellent communication with helpful owners from start to finish, looking forward to a return visit very soon.

Wonderful stay

We stayed at this villla last year. The villa is spotless. It's near the cala de mijas resort and taxis are reliable, quick and cheap. It takes lest than 5 minutes in a taxi. We were a party of 6 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone. Would recommend staying here.

Wonderful Villa

Wonderful stay at this Villa! Very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The outdoor area is a delight, great pool in a garden setting. Very fast wifi & Netflix available, which was handy when trying to tempt the children in from the midday sun! The owners couldn’t do enough for us, with great communication before during and after our stay. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope you return soon!

Lovely Villa

Carol and Ian are amazing hosts who greeted us at the property and were so welcoming. The outside area is perfect for lazy days round the pool and an evening bbq & inside is equipped with everything needed. The location of the Villa is great, we walked into La Cala du Mijas in around 30 mins, closer to the Villa is Wazza beach and other shops armed restaurants to the left of the property. Lovely place with great hosts, thank you

lovely villa with great outdoor areas

Even although it rained heavy for the first 5 days of our holiday, it didn't stop us from enjoying it. The villa is well equipped and lovely and the pool area has everything you could want. We didn't hire a car and used the local taxi service which was with us within minutes of calling. We walked into La Cala a few days which only took us about 20mins. The only thing I would say is that the villa could be doing with some more information in it. i.e local restaurant cards etc, as I say it rained heavy for the first 5 days so when phoning a taxi we needed to be taken straight there so as not to get soaked while looking for somewhere to eat, I just felt that a few cards would have given us an idea of where to start. I couldn't fault anything else and we had a great time

Beautiful Villa. There were 6 of us & it was equipped with everything you could think of and more. Definitely easier if you hire a car, as very hilly, although not far to bus stops and about a mile to La Cala.

Fabulous spacious villa...with air con! Lovely peaceful neighbourhood with a great restaurant just a couple of hundred metres away, frog & co. The kitchen has every pot, pan and gadget you could ever need (at home or away). Owners only a phone call away. We a tiny issue with the pool which was rectified before we’d even got up the following morning! Can’t ask for better service than that. Would HIGHLY recommend villa Margarita and Carol and Ian, great place.

Tolles Haus, toller Pool, entspannter Urlaub

Das Haus ist groß und überdurchschnittlich gut ausgestattet. Moderne Technik und guter comfort, nur der Herd passt nicht zum sonst gebotenen Niveau. Der Pool ist Klasse, der Garten sehr schön. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es nur eine Bar/Restaurant, eine größere Auswahl gibt es nach 5 minütiger Autofahrt. Auch zum Strand nimmt man am besten das Auto, jedenfalls mit kleineren Kindern. Fazit: Haus und Garten und Pool großartig, Umgebung/Lage gut aber nicht sehr gut.

Perfect for a family holiday

We had a wonderful week in Ian and Carol’s villa. It’s incredibly well equipped and super clean and tidy. The local beach is lovely, if you turn right and keep walking you find a wonderful local restaurant and gorgeous cove for swimming. La Cala is also a fabulous town with loads to do for kids. Nothing negative to say, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to revisit one day

Excellent villa - exactly as described in the listing.

I’ve just returned home from a week long stay in this magnificent villa. The villa was exactly as described in the listing. It’s furnished beautifully and immaculate in decor and cleanliness. The owners Ian and his wife Carol are lovely people who kept regular contact with me from booking stage through the process. They both were so helpful and accommodating. The villa is excellently equipped - it was like home from home . The kitchen has all the necessary appliances . The pool is a good size and well maintained. There are plenty of loungers and outdoor seating. The gardens in the Vila get the sun from sun rise to sunset . Although not essential we did hire a car from La Cala de Mijas as the bus time table at the end of the road suggested the bus did not run as regular as initially thought. The beach is just 150 m from the villa and although small is a beautiful place to spent an afternoon or evening. My family throughly enjoyed our time in the villa and will definitely insider it on our visit to Costa Del Sol.

We stayed for a week at this lovely villa. Hosts Ian and Carol couldn't have been nicer. Villa even nicer than photos. Spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We ate in Frog & Co a few times and highly recommend it. Easy access to beach and village of La Calla. Very safe and peaceful area. Will definitely book this villa again.

Wow this is a fabulous villa!

Carol greeted us on arrival at villa margarita. She showed us around and explained in detail all of the appliances and where everything was situated. The villa was immaculate and the facilities and layout were just as the listings described. Two of the bedrooms are en-suite with fabulous bathrooms, the third has shower with toilet just around the corner. The villa is fully equipt throughout. We really liked the fridge with filtered cold water and ice on tap! Outside facilities were great. Plenty of Sun loungers, a beautiful dining area, outdoor bar with fridge which was very handy soft drinks and the odd beer!!! The pool is fabulous and really most of the days were spent around it or in it as the weather was excellent. Carol explained where the nearest small shops were and the way to access them avoiding the main road however for the main shopping we visited the large supermarkets in La Cala. We had visited La Cala previously on a couple of occasions, it takes around 25/30 mins to walk either along the path beside the busy A7 or via the beach. The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road, bus nos 119 or 220 run every 30mins and its only 3 stops in to La Cala. It is a lovely resort with many restaurants, tapas bars and shops and the fabulous boardwalk which runs to playa Honda. We ate at La Frog resturant which is just up the road from the villa, delicious not a big menu but food good. Another evening we went to El Faro which is on the waterfront with greAt views along the coast just a taxi ride away(€10). However our best meal was at El Chapparal golf club which was recommended by Carol. It is up the hill from the villa, 20mins walk or 5mins in taxi. The views from the terrace are spectacular, the staff were so friendly and accommodating the food was superb, definitely a must! It's also fab for coffee or a light-bite during the day. This was our first villa holiday. From the moment we booked last year to our departure Carol guided us through every stage of the process, she was courteous, helpful and friendly which for us was very helpful. At villa she is just a phone call away if you need her. All in all we had a fabulous time and would certainly recommend Villa Margarita to everyone. Many thanks Carol and Giles for everything.

Fabulous villa in a tranquil setting. But close to everything you could need or want.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. The house and gardens were fabulous. The villa had everything you needed if you didn’t wanr to leave . But a multitude of shops and restaurants are a short taxi ride away. The beach is a 10 minute walk and La Cala is a 20 minute along the beach. A real find and the host was very accommodating. Thoroughly recommend this.

My family and I have just return from another wonderful week at the Beautiful Villa Margarita. If you are like us and appreciate something a bit special, this is the place for you, the owners Carol & Ian treat you like guest entering their home. The villa has everything you could possible need. Our two young grandchildren love the pool and the outdoor space, they call it their " Holiday Home " the grounds are private and completely secure. There are some lovely restaurants close by, a great beach within walking distance, and the delightful town of La Cala is only 5 minutes away by car. We will definitely return to our " Holiday Home "

Gorgeous Villa, great location.

We were impressed with this gorgeous villa from the moment we arrived until the time we departed. Our only regret was that we had booked at the last minute for just a few days ( all that was available) after a family wedding. How we wish we had booked earlier and had more time to enjoy it all! We were met by the owners, Ian & Carol, on arrival and given a useful guided tour of everything. We were immediately impressed by the kitchen which was so well equipped and spotlessly clean. First things we found were an American fridge, ice-maker, chilled water on tap, a waste disposal unit, stacks of cupboard space and no less than three ovens and a multi-use microwave. Not the norm for Spain in our experience! The house is beautifully decorated and furnished and again, its not what we usually expect for a rental property. There is a large modern TV which has all the channels one might need with amazing picture quality thanks to high speed fibre optic. The bedrooms are light and airy and very comfortable with air conditioning which, in the heat of July, was very welcome. Each bedroom has its own terrace which was nice. We really enjoyed the gardens and the outdoor dining areas. There is quite a large, stylish Pergola housing a marble table outside near the pool which we spent many hours enjoying. Evening and night time with all the garden and pool lights on was just spectacular. There wasn’t time for us to use the BBQ provided but we noted that a ‘starter pack’ of coals and firelighters were provided. There is even a small bar outside by the pool which provided an enjoyable ambience, especially early evening. There is a terrace outside the kitchen too which was ideal for breakfast. The village of La Cala, which we know well, is very close by and is lovely even if quite busy in the summer. On the notes about the house it says the beaches are about 150 metres away. Much to our surprise the beaches are exactly that and have easy access. There are a number of beach bars close by too. We couldn’t really find anything to criticise about this lovely villa and will certainly return.

Loved Spain, loved this villa! A beautiful house, very well fitted out, comfortable and luxuriously appointed. All spotlessly clean. Great pool and outside dining areas. Tranquil, private gardens Safe for the kids. Close to the beach and the local village. Friendly folks who looked after us well and made us very welcome, including the old gardener! Visiting Spain from the US and just sad we couldn’t stay longer. Would love to return at some time.

Lovely people but the Villa needs refurbishing!

Before I write this review I would just like to point out that Ian and Carol are lovely people just a shame about the villa. All 6 of our party were really looking forward to staying in this villa, but didn't realise we were literally living in someones home. We felt like Carol and Ian didn't want anyone staying in their villa with the amount of rules and regulations which were in place (notes all over the villa). On arrival we were told previously we would have to wait which we all understood. But both cleaners on arrival seemed very mithered that we had come early. It seemed like there was a lack of communication as Ian thought we had a car, and told us there wasn't much in the area. We were all baffled by this especially as it explains on the review the locality. After exploring ourselves we realised apart from a couple of restaurants you needed a bus to access supermarket, more restaurants etc. When we were shown round the villa Carol seemed to be mortified that four 24 -25 year olds were staying at the villa. She explained that they wouldn't tolerate loud music and it was the law to turn this off anyway after 12. This was strange as on several nights loud music was being played till 1 in the morning preventing us from sleeping. This also didn't help with the contribution of next doors dog barking. When we were shown the bedrooms we were shocked to see how small two of the beds were. Carol assured us these were double beds but in reality were not much bigger than a 3/4. I think on a serious note this villa needs gutting and severley cleaning. The kitchen cupboards are full with previous holidaymakers food which looks like they have gone off. We had to buy antibacterial wipes to clean the kitchen, and all dishes and cutlery had to be rewashed. The cleanliness of the villa is not too a high standard, just too note a few things the lamp shades are thick in dust, the cushions smell musty etc. We all got bitten to death by swarms of mosquitos due to an unused fountain outside the front door. I think this seriously needs removing, due to them breeding from the stagnant water. We all must admit that the garden and pool of the villa were the highlight of the holiday. As a family we wouldn't return back to this villa but I must reiterate that this doesn't reflect on Ian and Carol they are lovely people just shame about the accommodation.

Lovely, well equipped villa

Lovely, well equipped villa and very friendly, considerate hosts who gave us lots of suggestions to make our stay great. There were 6 of us travelling together and the villa was perfect for us having 3 lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. The outside space and pool was fantastic and really welcome as we had some of the hottest June weather the area has had for a while! We thought one addition to the many high quality fittings the villa has would be an outdoor shower (even a cold one) which would make the (perfectly understandable) request to rinse off sun creams before using the pool so much easier to achieve especially for those with children! We loved out holiday at Villa Margarita

WiFi, iron, hairdryer washing machine etc. Ian and Carol on hand if you need help or guidance. Close to restaurants bars beach and town. Had great stay and would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful Villa

We have just returned from a wonderful week in the beautiful Villa Margarita. We went as a family, my husband and I, son and daughter-in-law and our two young grandchildren aged 2 half and 15 months. From start to finish everything went smoothly, Ian and Carol are extremely attentive to any request you may have, that will make your stay enjoyable. We did sit one evening around the pool with a glass of wine trying to think of something that was missing, things that you would normally take for granted at home, you will find at Villa Margarita, it's has an abundance of everything you will need. The pool steps made it so easy for everyone to access the water, my granddaughter spent a lot of time just playing on them with her toys. We visited the beautiful town of Mijas, and had a wonderful late afternoon/evening Meal a Aroma Secret Garden Restaurant, a wonderful place, the small restaurant opens up at the back to an amazing outdoor dining garden, the children loved it, and best of all the food was delicious. 5 minutes drive away you will find the lovely town of La Cala, with an abundance of restaurants, catering for every taste, and a beautiful beach. We will definitely go back to the Beautiful Villa Margarita

Why they chose this property

We love the area of La Cala, it has so much to offer, but yet still remains a village.

There are many good restaurants and all within minutes away.

Only 150 meters from our villa, are the beaches, which still remain unspoilt. There are little rock bays and you can walk right along the beach to La Cala, with a stopping point at the Sherrif Bar for a refreshment, or the new Playa Chaparral Beach Shack with It's lovely sandy beaches, you can hire parasols and beach beds here or have a sundowner in the evening. beaches here are extremely suitable for children,

The villa is only seconds by car to the main road, where you can get quickly to everywhere.
There is also a bus stop at the bottom of the road, buses run every 30 minutes, direction Marbella or Fuengirola.
Fuengirola, Mijas Village, Marbella, Puerto Bonus are all within easy access

The new 6 km boardwalk from La Cala along the sea front is just great. There are loads of places to stop, rest have a drink, snack, or meal. You can make a day out of it

What makes this property unique

The villa is a very comfortable home and you will not feel as if you are staying in a typical rental property. It is a home for you to enjoy. The kitchen is full of every mod con, double oven , high power micro wave with triple function, convection and grill, etc, etc even all our cookery books are there should you feel like trying a new dish.

You have the peacefulness of where the villa is situated, plus the convenience that everything is only minutes away, La Cala is a really lovely village within easy reach.

It is very close to the sea, the garden is extremely private.
The villa Iis situated In a private, quiet and upmarket urbinisation

This is unique as it is home from home with all the extra comforts that normal rentals do not have, we leave everything that a home should have, if there is something we don't have that you need, tell us and we will get it for you.

We are particularly keen to encourage families and mature persons as we do not wish to rent to groups of singles or students. It is not that type of property
We hand over our house in top condition and expect it to be looked after and to be returned back to us in the same condition.

We have fibre optic hi speed internet installed . We have also a 48 inch 4K UHID curved screen TV with 100's of TV channels

Enjoy!

We know you will.

Ian & Carol
