This characterful property suited us ideally and was just as listed. We like the area as it avoids the mass tourist bits of the Costa del Sol. Barbara, the owner, was on hand when needed - but was never intrusive. Felt very safe, The roof terrace had views to die for.

Barbara made everything possible so that we could enjoy our stay Thank you so much.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The apartment's location is outstanding. EVERYTHING is steps away. It is well renovated and clean, however.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house near the beach very much. Everything in the house was perfect and Barbara was very helpful if we had something questions.

The property was perfect for the three of us, not a typical sparse and bland holiday rental but more of a holiday home. It was very well equipped and the outdoor space was fabulous. I only used the downstairs shower but it is the best shower I have ever had on holiday! I drew the long straw and got the master bedroom. You have to walk through the second bedroom to get upstairs but this wasn't a problem for us and the third bedroom is really for children, but again, not a problem. The location was as described and just what we were looking for. There are loads of fantastic fish restaurants, very reasonably priced, nearby but if you're not a fish lover you might find it difficult to find anything suitable on the menus. Malaga is lovely and gave us an excuse to dress up on a couple of evenings and eat lots of tapas. It is easily accessible by bus. I would definitely recommend it, the immediate area is very casual and very Spanish.

The property is large and flexible for a large family ; we were 6. It was clean , comfortable and convenient. So, there were 2 bathrooms and given the property had 4 floors there were 2 kitchens. One led on to a veranda, there was an even higher veranda for the real sun worshippers. This latter was a great spot to watch sunsets with a glass of wine. We took most of our meals on the first veranda;,which could be beautifully shaded. The site is superb , we were literally 2 mins from the sea. El Palo has one of the best beaches : it is sandy and the sea shallow enough for a decent way out and our young g'children were safe there. We went in the Whitsun half term and the beaches were very quiet -apart from Sundays. The area has some decent cafes and restaurants; given it was a fishing village ,sea food is high on the menu. The owner has several pages of advice for guests. She maps the local supermarkets (small), health centres, bus stops , local markets etc, etc . The owner lives next to the house and whilst not being intrusive , is ready to help when asked. The house is equipped with everything you need for a family holiday . There is a cupboard full of beach ware . Chairs, umbrellas ,swim tubes ,buckets and spades etc etc ; you wont need to fill your cases with things for the beach. Elsewhere, there are cupboards full of towels . pillows .duvets etc. There is even a lending library of paperbacks and a kind of oyster card for the local buses. We did not hire a car .Taxis were cheap and buses to Malaga dirt cheap, frequent and took us in comfort the 20 mins the journey took. I cannot recommend this house and area more . Weather was great .hot but with a lovely sea breeze. We had a wonderful time and the house enabled us to spread out or come together ,particularly on its wonderful veranda. This is a tourist area but mainly a Spanish area: bring a phrase book.

We enjoyed a wonderful week in this charming house. Fantastically situated almost right on the beach. Very clean, cozy, quiet, well equipped and personal. We felt at home immediately! The area, El Palo, appeals to us as it is authentic/not touristy and you can take long, wonderful walks in the Spanish sun along the seaside, enjoy Spanish food at a seaside or local taverna or just soak in the atmosphere. (Plenty of places to buy food if you prefer to cook at home in the amply equipped kitchen.) Easy access to the local bus into the center when you wish to explore Malaga. Definitely a place I would recommend. We are already planing another stay there and are very much looking forward to enjoying the house and the fantastic service given by the hostess.
