Beautifully decorated, modern & spacious villa perfect for families wanting to spend time there!
Just 20 minutes transfer time from Malaga airport and located in a prestigious area - 1.5k (20 mins walk) from Carvajal Beach downhill, the villa didn’t disappoint. Behind the secure gates the villa has the wow factor and recent outdoor renovations to the pool area and installation of an outdoor kitchen mean the outside matches the inside which includes a brand new open plan kitchen.
Every room is tastefully decorated and well equipped and thank goodness for the air conditioning as it was hot, hot, hot! Having a washing machine on hand was also a life saver for towels etc
The villa is located at the bottom of a steep hill so walking options were limited. We didn’t rent a car as we were happy to stay in and enjoy the villa as it’s perfect for relaxing (the veranda is a lovely spot for drinks and nibbles) and outdoor cooking with friends and family but when we did go out the local taxis were excellent. A trip to Benalmadena Pueblo is a must!
The host Raul was very friendly and responsive to messages before and during the trip. This is his home and we looked after it as such but it was easy to keep clean even with such a large group as ours (although cleaners are available to hire at an extra charge). Raul even organised a paella chef to come in one evening and cook for us which was fantastic.
The 10am check out time was challenging especially with children given that our flight wasn’t until the evening. With hindsight I would have booked an extra night so we could have stayed on longer.
This is our first time booking with Vrbo but it has been a great experience and I would thoroughly recommend Raul’s lovely villa!
