About this villa rental

WE STILL HAVE SOME JUNE AND AUGUST 2024 AVAILIBILTY, NOW WITH "FLASH SALE DISCOUNTED PRICES" BUT ONLY FOR A LIMITED PERIOD ONLY! PLEASE BOOK SOON TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT. A magnificent private detached villa with a south facing orientation in the lower part of Calahonda, near to the Norwegian church, in a very safe and quiet area both by day and night. Conveniently located right on the coast between Fuengirola and Marbella, Calahonda is normally only thirty minutes drive from Malaga airport. Our villa is in a well established urbanisation / community, and many of these properties now have their own small pools. Luckily for us, this leaves us with a beautiful, safe, well maintained and under used12 metre swimming pool in the large garden, which is shared by a small number of properties. The pool area is easily accessible through our garden gate, and is less than 20 metres away from our villa. It is not unusual that you have "exclusive" use of the pool even in the high season! The villa has a private garden with a south facing terrace that overlooks directly onto the pool, and is ideal for sunbathing, barbecues and al fresco dining. The terraced garden is accessed from the patio doors of the living room, the master bedroom and kitchen. The property is on three levels, the lower level is the terrace and large living room and the middle level is the contemporary dining room with its own doors leading out to the small west facing terrace and the fully equipped modern kitchen The three large bedrooms are on the upper level. Access to the property is from the road via the carport, access to the villa is down a flight of exterior steps to the entrance door and terrace area. Hence we do not recommend the villa as suitable for elderly, disabled and wheelchair users. A rental car is not essential, but is recommended. However there are regular buses to Fuengirola and Marbella on the main A7 road every half hour, early till late. Numerous restaurants, bars, minimarkets, supermarkets, shops, banks, pharmacy, medical centre, dentist, gym, car hire, tennis courts and the Calahonda golf course are all within a 5 or 10 minutes walk from the villa. It takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the beautiful Luna Beach, of Calahonda. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beautiful marina at Cabapino. It normally takes about 15 minutes to drive to Marbella. It normally takes about 20 minutes to drive to Puerto Banús. It normally takes around 2 hours to drive to the Sierra Nevada, ski resort. It normally takes around 2 hours to drive to either Seville or Granada. It normally takes around 90 minutes to drive along the coast to Gibraltar. It also normally takes around 90 minutes to drive inland to Ronda and almost the same to the Caminito del Rey, to walk the famous gorge at El Choro.

We loved our stay. Perfect for 2 couples and felt like we had a private pool almost everyday. Everything was explained before and checkin was perfect. It is obviously a much loved home and had everything we needed including great air con, comfy beds and filtered water, perfect for the very hot days. Angela was super helpful when we had a problem with the alarm. It was a little further away from bars and restaurants than we thought however, the walk was easy and taxis and buses really easy to get to. It’s near to many of the famous resorts. We loved Mijas and a fab restaurant called el oceana, both recommended by the owner It really had the wow factor and would return. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home

Phill and Martine were very helpful from the moment we booked to leaving the villa,Angela was also helpful when we needed to contact her. The villa had everything that you need and even small things in the kitchen were available which saved us money from buying There are also cool boxes for the beach and umbrellas which are a godsend in August The pool is excellent and although shared this was often empty or not busy. Looking forward to coming again Thanks Phill -Martine-Angela and John

We (2 adults, and 3 young people at 17, 21 and 23 years) just got back after 9 great days at Martine and Phil’s lovely and very well equipped holiday home - all you need for relaxing, the pool and cooking is there. Very nice pool area which we almost had to your selves. Nice area, close to grocery shopping, restaurants, fitness, golf and outdoor paddle tennis - too hot for that though. A 25 min walk to the beach - nice for a morning walk. Very central for lots of nice places to visit. We did a guided tour at the Caminito del Rey - fantastic! Remember to book tickets in advance and arrive so you have time for the shuttle bus from the parking area + the 1.5 km walk to where the tour starts. We highly recommend this place to stay and the hosts are very concerned and great communication.

We loved our stay at Phill & Martine's beautiful stunning homely villa! We cannot fault anything at all! It was our 1st holiday abroad since Covid struck & having stayed in the same area exactly 3 years ago we wanted a familiar holiday, the place we stayed last time wasn't coming up so we opted to stay here, & my goodness we were so happy we stumbled across this villa! & we will definitely be coming back! The villa is just perfect, very comfortable, peaceful & extremely private. We came at Christmas & New Year time for 12 nights, we were so lucky with the weather which was a bonus. The villa is fully equipped with everything you need at home, including a good washing machine & the fridge was amazing with filtered water & ice on tap & there is a beautiful lemon tree (which we "borrowed" a fresh lemon for our homemade sangria 😉) the bed is so comfortable, the TV has good channels & the sofas are very comfortable, the shower very powerful. It is about a 10 mins walk from a good bar & a string of restaurants, 5 mins drive to the supermarkets & close to nice tourist & local spots in the car but I believe the bus is good too. The "boardwalk" is about a 20 minutes walk to where if you like walking is stunning along the coast with good bars & restaurants along the way, bit of a hill back up "home" but plenty of places to have a rest on the way back up! (I'm just recovering from a back injury & learning to walk again properly & it was fine for me plus there's a good friendly pub at the top of the hill to look forward to! Haha) We would recommend here for a good night out, pool tables, sport on TV & very friendly (we spent our New Years Eve night, we felt like locals!) plus the Italian restaurant called Pepperoni was so good! Finally we would like to say a big thank you to Martine & Phill, they were excellent hosts from the start of our booking to the end when we got home, they helped with everything that we asked of them & we highly recommend this property & we will definitely be back when we visit the area again 😊

Exceptional Villa, in a fantastic location
Exceptional Villa, in a fantastic location
Quite simply the best Villa we have stayed in. Phil and Martine have thought of everything to make sure you have a great holiday with all the comforts of home in a luxuriously appointed villa. They went out of their way to make sure we knew everything we needed to have a lovely time. Wonderful garden and terrace with a superb, large, seldom used, swimming pool through a gate at the bottom of the garden. Very safe and secure. Location is excellent, lovely and quiet, yet a 5 minute stroll from bars and restaurants and just a 5 minute drive to the commercial centres with excellent supermarkets. Lots to do close by and only 15-20 minutes drive from Marbella and the delights of the old town. We loved it and cant' wait to go back.

RATHER SPECIAL VILLA TO MAKE FANTASTIC MEMORIES
Third time at this beautiful villa. I absolutely love this villa and feel so safe and comfortable as the couple that own it are always there at the end of the phone for any help or advice . Every time we go although it is a popular villa, it looks absolutely immaculate and a much loved property. The new gym is amazing as you can go through your daily exercise while watching your favorite television program,then out into the beautiful communal pool . We have only ever been joined once at pool , lovely and quit in well kept gardens . Back home and missing that immensely. The bedrooms are large with heavenly beds after a long day on the beach and taking in the great Tavernas, or a Barbecue and Drinks back at the villa. Having everything you could want to make a great meal to which we have made many ,the kitchen is spot on for utensils. Stunning lounge and Dining Room, Lounge having fire for cool nights should there be one. There is so many Adventures to be had in this area, you can walk to the buses with ease,so you don"t have the stress of driving should it bother you. Restaurants on the strip are extremely good visited 5 or 6 the Chinese is amazing and Italian Wow. Very tempted to go at Christmas as it sound so good by all accounts, the Lights and Shows are a real spectacle. BUT BETTER NOT, booked for this September and not told my better half yet hahahaha. Well cant leave all the money to the Children. SHOULD you try this Villa I hope you enjoy as much as Stephen and I. THANKS AGAIN MARTINE AND PHIL FOR YET AGAIN A GREAT REST AS WELL AS ADVENTURES. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL VILLA. Stephen and Joy Whittaker

We have just had an amazing holiday in this beautiful villa. The villa is spacious, modern and very well appointed. It has three bedrooms one en-suite and a separate shower room, beds extremely comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and left us wanting for nothing. The living area is stylish and contemporary and takes you out onto a wonderful relaxing terrace with different seating areas for outdoor living and relaxation. Down a few steps is a large communal pool area which is lovely and very well maintained. Bars, restaurants shops and beach are a 10 - 15 minute walk. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had, really lovely people. We had an unforgettable time and hope to return soon.
