Ladera Burriana Vacation Rental apartment: Nerja

Just returned from our first visit to Nerja and indeed Spain. This was also the first time we had booked our own accommodation, separate flights and hired a car. We found the booking of this apartment very easy with excellent communication and information provided by the owners. We were anxious that something might go wrong but the owner put us at ease and answered all our queries.

The website information and pictures do not do the apartment justice. We found the apartment to be clean and very well equipped. Whether you plan to cook or not the apartment was worth the money. It was an absolute delight to step out from the sitting room on the first day to discover the three wonderful terraces. Spent a lot of time on the second terrace that we found to be peaceful and private to lounge about on the sunbeds (apart from when the Cicadas hiding in the trees kick off!).

The pool provided some welcome respite from the heat and we often had the pool to ourselves. The only down side to the pool was that there are no sun loungers available. We are not beach lovers and prefer to be around a pool.

Overall the apartment is excellent. The only slightly negative thing we would say is that the bed is not long enough - I am only 5 foot 4 and my feet were touching the footboard. My husband being taller had to sleep in the bed diagonally hence leaving less room for me! This did not spoil our holiday just a point to note.

The website also does not specifically mention the stairs to the apartment (although it does mention that the apartment is not suitable for the elderly or infirm). The stairs were not a problem for us but may be for others.

We felt safe, secure and very comfortable and would not hesitate to return to the apartment should we return to Nerja in the future. Also, we would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to our family and friends.

Our holiday was to spend time with family who were staying at another apartment and to generally relax and recharge our batteries. We therefore never did any activities or toured around Malaga. We did find Nerja to be a beautiful place to stay with a lovely beach, fabulous restaurants and friendly people. Hope to return at some point in the future.

Thank you for a great holiday. We loved your property. The different balconies, sun terraces were excellent. Views are spectacular. Stairs were challenging for the first couple of days, would recommend a car. Well stocked, lovely and clean. Many thanks and we will be back.

Stayed in August 2008. Fantastic property for two, brilliant terraces allow you to follow the sun all day and gain shade if desired! Well equipped. If you want total relaxation, then this location allows you to achieve it. Although in a residential area, very quiet location, good views of sea and only a short downhill walk to the beach and shops. The walk back is more testing in the heat of August and the steps to the apartment are a bit testing, especially when carrying shopping!
Pool is a short walk down two flights of steps, so not as inticing as having it on the property, but if you really want a cool dip, then needs must.
There is a large supermarket about 5 mins drive away.
Don't miss out on the fantastic areas around, Ronda is well worth the drive as is Granada with the fantastic Alhambra.
Would recommend this apartment and area to anybody wanting a quiet relaxing holiday and the opportunity to take in some of the best areas of Spain.
