We also have someone available to do airport transfers cheaper than taxi prices. They are also willing to take you shopping and sightseeing so this could suit guests who do not wish to hire a car.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We all had a brilliant time fishing, visiting the zoo, shopping and sunbathing. Excellent spa facilities, very relaxing. The Kalinowski family Stockport.
The children loved the pool, it was very handy to have it so close to the apartment, and they had it to themselves most of the time, which was fantastic Lesly and Gary McDonald and family Jersey.
We had an excellent holiday. The apartment and complex were excellent and the location near the pool made it even better. We could just sit on the sun loungers outside the apartment and watch the children in the pool. We will almost certainly be looking to go back some time Glen Connelly and family Yorks. Without doubt this was the most relaxing holiday we have had for a long time. I am sure we will be contacting you again in the near future George Nixon and family Deeside.We had a fantastic time and it was brilliant to have the facilities we had. Dave was a great help as we did not hire a car.Hope to go back soon. Kelly Dawson ,Burnley.

Minutes away from the Spanish villages of Benalmadena Pueblo And Mijas Pueblo directly off exit 217 of the autovia a short drive or taxi ride from Malaga airport. Peacefully situated in the mountains but still with easy access to a sandy beach down a newly built road.Now with a train service hourly from the beach to the hotel and shops so a car is not absolutely necessary.
Golf: We can help golfers by recommending courses we have personally played. Our favourite course for a leisurely game on a picturesque course where you can drive your sat nav buggy right up to your ball is Mijas Los Olivios. We can also recommend the clubhouse restaurant.Try Alhaurin for stunning views and a challenging course. Torrequebrada is one of the nearest courses and is a magnificent well established championship course. Another favourite of ours is Guadlahorce near Malaga which has a large Spanish membership and a beautiful old clubhouse.La Cala is a well known course in the mountains and I would always recommend a buggy here . The Spanish are starting to realise that many people like a good offer and many such as Mijas offer twilight packages at a healthy discount. All the courses mentioned are within easy reach as well as numerous others. Please contact us for further information

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(38 traveler reviews)
In a nut shell, clean, well equiped and would stay here again.
Rather than repeat what others have said, I will try to reflect on other items not mentioned yet. Some for older persons and some for teenagers! All the positive feedback is spot on. You can do without a car, However the underground car park is a wonderful way to keep you car secure and cool. The train from the airport arrives at the bottom of the hill to be met by the land train about 20 mins past the hour. My mum is 77 and she managed without the need for a transfer taxi from the airport (much cheaper). The trains up and down the coast every 20 mins but the land train does stop running up the hill from the beach at 18:20. There is a local taxi which can bring you up after that.
Buses are great; you can download an app for train and bus services. There is a bus service at the top of the hill which will take you to mijas in one direction and in the other Torremolinos (via benalmadena top end and breach, great for cable car and market on a Friday or getting to the sea front or marina). (You can even use this bus to get to the Aqualand water park). At the bottom of the hill you can get two busses to fuengirola (the red one takes you to a massive shopping complex fuengirola Miramar (kids amusements on the roof and a cinema which shows film in English).Just across the river from the shopping centre is a great 18 hole pitch and put golf course run by a nice English lady with a bar under the trees. Or you can get the blue service bus into fuengirola round the corner from the train station (spoilt for choice). Fuengirola is all on the flat and a great place to visit night or day.
In the opposite direction Benalmadena, Torremolinos along the coast. Coming back into Carvajal get off the bus cross the road 2 mins you are on the sea front to meet the land train to take you back up to the villa (outside the door).
Next door to the villa the sports complex is amazing! We played Padel Tennis, be sure to book it at 21.00 just as the sun is going down. Highly recommended. The great house keepers (lovely lady) recommended a local private taxi which we also used at a good rate to go to selwo marina to see the dolphins and tropical birds. Hope this helps you to find a great place to enjoy your holiday as we did. In a nut shell, clean, well equiped and would stay here again.
The apartment was ok. A bit dated but clean and spacious. The air conditioning was a god send.
We were dissapointed with the terrace, which was too enclosed for us. Surrounded by shrubs and sparse grassy area, with a restricted view of the pool. The pool area was fabulous. The location was very steep being half way up s mountain, this was not made clear in the advert about the apartment. The road train was not running and hadn't been for 2 months. We weren't warned about this and couldn't venture out without a taxi, which we hadn't budgeted for on a daily basis. There was no local shop so to shop, a taxi was a must. The local area was nice and old Benalmedena pueblo was stunning. I would not return, to much hard work to get out and about!! Not suitable for disabled people.
Lovely place, would recommend this clean & well equipped apartment on quiet complex
Very much enjoyed our family holiday in this apartment (4 adults & 13 year old). A few problems initially (fridge freezer not maintaining temp, no extra bed to sleep 5th family member) were quickly addressed.
Well equipped kitchen with everything needed to make your stay easier, incl. dishwasher & washing machine. We cooked most nights, a bit frustrating that every time the extractor fan or oven were put on the electricity tripped, but no huge issue.
Lovely bathrooms with great showers.
Two very large bedrooms with a lot of storage space. We did find the double bed very uncomfortable and unfortunately my husband was unable to have a decent sleep on it, we ended up putting the mattress from the travel cot on top of the bed mattress around the hip / lower back area in the hope of making it a little better.
Dining & living area was great, but we rarely used it as we tended to either sit / eat outside as the weather was so good.
Lovely small garden and decking overlooking the pool, perfect for relaxing in away from the pool or eating meals around the outside dining table. Four loungers supplied for use, so, like several other families from the complex, we took them to the poolside as although the gardens overlook the pool and have either a gate to the path leading to the pool or steps directly down to it (this apartment has a gate onto the path) it's a little too far away from the pool for families like us whose children like to swim & play in the pool as we wouldn't be able to supervise or join in. This didn't cause any problems and although several other families did the same the pool area was never overly busy - quite often we were the only ones there until midday.
Benalmadena/ Fuengirola are huge, extremely busy resorts but this complex is away from the hubbub. 15 minute drive to Benalmadena marina etc., 5 - 10 mins drive to the Pueblo which is a lovely example of an old town. We visited, by chance, on the evening that a big celebration was being held with lots of traditional music & costumes to enjoy. Well placed for visits to other places including Ronda or Puerto Banus as the complex is only minutes away from the motorway.
Very disappointed that the 'train' that is meant to run up & down the hill was broken and didn't run throughout the time we were there. Nothing to do with the apartment, but it did mean that my less mobile parents were reliant on us to transport them anywhere nearby so we had to use the car more often.
First Class
This is an excellent property, very roomy, Clean, with 2 very large bedrooms, whole apartment has air conditioning and wifi, apartment is set in beautiful garden surroundings and the Pool is absolutely fabulous(four sun beds provided) and only a 30 meter walk, there is a free train service up to the shops and down to the beach,you also have the Spa only 200 meters away for those fitness fanatics, we just had wine in the spa bar ( only 2 euros a glass). I would thoroughly recommend this apartment, we enjoyed it so much we are going back in Sept. rate this appt 6 out of 5.
Everything you could need for a relaxing holiday
The apartment is equipped with everything you could need. The train that runs between the commercial centre and the beach makes getting around very easy and the close proximity to the train station makes exploring easy too.
Perfect for family
Great location,I'd recommend hiring a car but it's certainly not essential. Apartment is clean & tidy and it's ground floor plot is perfect for the large pool. 15min walk downhill to the beach,it is the ideal place for my family. We loved it.
