We genuinely had a fantastic stay, and none of the following issues made the holiday unbearable or significantly detracted from our enjoyment. They are mainly points of maintenance and presentation that we feel could be improved, particularly given the premium price of around £3,000 during high season.
Some fixtures and fittings were a little tired or loose. The upstairs air conditioning was noticeably weaker than downstairs and the Airzone controls weren't responding, even after replacing the batteries. Fortunately, we were able to maintain a comfortable temperature by keeping doors open, using the built-in fans and closing the shutters during the day.
The main toilet continually ran after flushing and the main bathroom sink became blocked; both were relatively minor issues that I was able to resolve myself.
There was only one set of keys for a family of four, which was slightly inconvenient. Some crockery was chipped, some cutlery was bent, the fridge was damaged and the soap dispensers were empty. We also couldn't get the pool lights to work, although it's possible we simply didn't find the switch.
The villa would also benefit from a more comprehensive welcome guide. The existing information concentrates mainly on house rules, while there is relatively little guidance on operating the villa. There are several unmarked switches, electric shutters and manual shutters that aren't immediately intuitive, and we had to find the communal rubbish bins ourselves. A simple welcome pack explaining these things would make arriving and settling in much easier.
These are relatively small points, but at this price point we would expect the villa to be a little more polished. With some attention to maintenance, presentation and guest information, it would be exceptional.
The villa is genuinely fantastic. Its biggest strengths are the privacy, tranquillity and overall feeling of relaxation. Perched at the top of a hill, it isn't overlooked at all, with high feature boulder walls on two sides and the pool and garden elevated around 12 feet above the street. It feels like a private oasis.
The villa is modern, luxurious and exceptionally clean, with fast, reliable Wi-Fi and excellent media facilities. The pool is outstanding — beautifully maintained, extremely private and with stunning views across the hills and towards the sea. It was incredibly easy to relax and switch off here.
La Cala itself is a wonderful location: lively enough to have plenty of restaurants, cafés and amenities, but without feeling excessively touristy. The centre is around a 12-minute walk away, although the villa is at the top of a hill. Even this rather out-of-shape reviewer managed the walk!
For self-catering, there is an Aldi at the bottom of the hill, a Lidl a little further away and a Carrefour just across the road from Aldi, which we actually found particularly good for everyday shopping.
The garage is also worth a mention — parking felt like having our own personal Batcave!
Finally, a special thanks to Juan, the management contact, who was friendly, approachable and helpful whenever we needed assistance.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return.
