I still haven’t heard anything about the return of my security deposit. I asked for it immediately after returning home. I am not impressed that this is not automated.

(Continued from above) Extremely well equipped (apart from, surprisingly, no microwave), bright and spacious. Lovely views. Unfortunately the mid-February weather was mostly cold and dreary so no chance to use and enjoy the property, especially upstairs terrace, to its full potential. Obviously a lot of care and quality has gone into this property.

Mijas la Nueva is a special spot. Unique local rules and regs ensure absolute peace and tranquility for your stay. The villa is set amongst mature, very clean and well maintained community full of friendly neighbours eager to help out or just say hello. Whilst the villa is not huge, the presence of two very large "balcony" areas ensure lots of space to relax, take in the sun, have a BBQ, and just enjoy the view. And a large pool and local bar / restaurant are just 5 mins stroll away. Villa is comfortable with pleasant furniture and all mod cons including an endless selection of TV channels and movies to watch if that's your thing. Spotlessly clean throughout. Whole area feels safe and secure. You can walk into Mijas - it's a good 20mins - uphill on the way - and worth it since plenty to eat and drink in the very pleasant town - with reasonable shops too (mini supermarkets and tourist nick naks / jewellry etc.) Fuengirola is 15min down the hill - check Google Maps first though since it has a habit of taking you down the windiest steepest roads vs. the main roads !! Lovely,

We stayed here in August 2016 with two small children aged 5 and 7.The house is lovely and welcoming with all you could require for self catering - if you choose to stay in! The village is tucked away up the mountain, so quiet, beautiful and tranquil. Mijas town is great for eating out with lots of restaurants and horse carriage rides centered in a recently refurbished central square.The pools by the house are great, nice and clean with kids sections and sunbeds.Fuengirola is just down the mountain 10 mins by car and is a lovely seafront town with everything going on - with a great permanent funfair for the kids that is open till the very early hours! Loads and loads of restaurants, bars etc.Marbella and Puerto Banus is a little further along the coast if you fancy spending a bit of time amongst the rich and famous with super yachts and expensive sports cars at Puerto Banus.The house is not far from Malaga airport, ample parking outside and is very secure. The air conditioning is new and a great addition. We had a wonderful stay here and we very much look forward to returning soon for another stay.
