Great accommodation in a lovely location
Have stayed at Finca San Antonio many times. Never been disappointed. Very well appointed apartments in lovely grounds with two pools
Nice accommodation ideal for those wanting quiet holiday
The location is half way up the hill to Mijhas so a car is essential. Location I would describe as quiet so if you are wanting everything on your doorstep this is not the place for you Jason the owner was not very good at communicating with responses to questions. The accommodation was lovely apart from the beds were hard and I wouldn't call them comfortable. Nice balcony. Kitchen could have been better equipped it was sufficient but on a number of ocassions I found that I needed various items. E.g the knives were blunt, plates were chipped , the property needed some maintenance work e.g the door frame around the kitchen door frame was coming away. There was a problem with the key fob and the electric gates to the underground car park admittedly we did report then towards end of week they did get it working. The complex is residential and this accommodation is definitely not for families with young children there are too many rules around the pool don't do this and that it needed adding on don't have any fun! Having said that it did suit our needs we travelled with my elderly mother in a wheelchair and accessing the pool and the accommodation was easy. If you want a quiet time away from it all this is the place for you. Fuengirola is a 10 minute drive away. There is a lidl and Aldi not far away.
Overall reasonable accommodation what I would expect.
Great apartment, but a few issues & problems...
The size of the flat is great with a decently large bedroom & superb living space. The complex of Finca San Antonio is, overall, excellent & top quality. What let flat 38 down to us was a very hard bed & no sunbeds or sunbathing area.. more later.... plus there was no "arrival information pack" which was pretty poor: fortunately, we know the area like the back of our hand, but people unfamiliar with the area may struggle?
Without doubt, we will return to this complex and, indeed, have requested another apartment here for 10 days time for another couple of weeks here.
BUT.....
There were a few annoyances! Regrettably, the cleaner hadn't been so it was very dirty when we arrived. Communication with the owner was somewhat haphazard, but he did end up sending us a couple of bottles of wine after the cleaner didn't materialise a second time. (PS We cleaned it!!). The Sky TV didn't work, but a friend gave us his box & card so we were OK.
There are NO SUNBEDS with this flat which is infuriating to us Brits as we love lying on them for most of the day by the pool..... but you cannot leave sunbeds (if you have them!) next to the pool unless you're actually there - meaning you would have to carry beds to & from your apartment - as leaving them is strictly forbidden on this complex. There is a "storage" room but it is full & you are politely asked not to use other people's sunbeds. In the 12 days we were there, we only went in the pool once - we went elsewhere.... not good!
We had a lovely holiday using this as a base. We intend returning to the area in 10 days time and would have stayed here again but it is booked out - but we have requested another apartment on this same complex so that speaks volumes.
Relaxing, quiet and peaceful
This is a very spacious 2 bedroom apartment, which is clean and tidy. We are a family of 5 (3 young children) and never felt on top of each other. The complex itself is very well maintained with 2 swimming pools. It also has a games room with table football/tennis along with TV room and books/games you can borrow. It does mention a gym, sauna and indoor pool but these are not available so don't expect these, for us this wasn’t a requirement!
For my family this was a perfect location as it was out the way of the main tourist areas like Fuengirola and Mijas although they are almost on your doorstep if you want them. A car is a must, there are buses that run but you cannot really walk to a shop/restaurant as the road is not very well lit up and it is on a very steep hill.
Mijas is 2km away, this is a very nice little village with some quite quaint restaurants and tapa's bars. Fuengirola does nothing for me personally but the beach and bars are within a 10 minute drive. We found the best beach was Puerto Cabopino, this is about a 15 minute drive and the beach is very sandy and the sea is very calm, perfect for the kids. Be warned though, this does get very busy so get there early!
Although there are about 50 apartments we virtually had the pool to ourselves. The only real annoyance was the Wi-Fi connection was down more than up.
To summarize, this is a very clean, tidy apartment/complex, which is very quiet and peaceful. Things are in the area if you want them but not within a distance that makes then walkable.
I wouldn’t agree to a 5 star rating, having stayed in 5 star complexes but it certainly is very nice. Overall my family had a wonderful holiday and would recommend this property.
last minute choice and an excellent one !!
This was an excellent property which had a great large balcony where we did some entertaining.Property was clean, well furnished and handy for Mihas and Fuengerola,and very handy for Lew Hoad,s campo de tennis.
Wonderful - just perfect for a relaxing stay!
My husband, two children (7 and 5 yrs) and I have just come back from 2 wonderful weeks at the FSA. The appartment was absolutely perfect for our stay: equipped to the highest standard and perfectly situated within the complex. The complex itself was very attractive with beautifully kept gardens and fantastic swimming pools (the children spent hours in there every day). There was also a very friendly atmosphere around the pool: people were very welcoming and helpful and the children very soon had a group of playmates. The view from the terrasse added to the feeling of being "away from it all", whilst actually we were within very easy reach of the bustling village of Mijas (donkeys galore!). We appreciated the underground carpark which meant the car was never furnace-like.
All in all, two most relaxing, comfortable and sunny weeks. We would highly recommend Jason's appartment!
Map
There are bus stops directly outside Finca San Antonio for easy access to Mijas village or Fuengirola every 15 mins.
Mijas is one of the most beautiful Spanish villages on the Costa del Sol, some argue the best. The apartments location is peaceful and within walking distance of Mijas village. The views are breathtaking from the apartment on a clear day the mountains of Morocco can be seen. Listed below are just a few of the local shops very close to Mijas/Fuengirola: El Corte Ingles, Hipercor, EuroMarket, Lidl. Restaurants are too numerous to name but for a special occasions the Valpariso is less than 1km from the complex. Mijas is also very close to many attractions such as Tivoli World (Benalmadena), 2 AquaParks (Fuengirola and Torremolinos).
Ski: In the winter periods it is possible to travel to Sierra Nevade to try your hand at skiing.
