We spent a wonderfully relaxing five days in Juan's beautiful and well-appointed villa. We found it exactly as described and the perfect place for quiet, relaxing short break.
After making the booking I contacted Juan via WhatsApp and found him to be very friendly and helpful. As agreed he met us at the villa at 3pm on the day of check-in to welcome us and show us around. As the remote control sliding gates opened they revealed the gorgeous villa at the end of a long driveway amongst lush gardens. Such a fantastic first impression!!!
We entered the large open plan living room, kitchen and dining area and were impressed by the quality of furnishings and appliances. This is definitely a well appointed, luxurious which didn't disappoint.
Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms as seen in the photos, all air-conditioned and equally well furnished, with another large bedroom on the ground floor. The large bathroom with enormous jazuzzi bath and separate rain shower was fantastic!
Going back down the stairs you notice the beautiful stained glass window at the front of the villa which provides a nice natural lighting effect.
Then down to the basement, a nice games room/living area as you'll see from the photos. Pool table, darts, table tennis, TV and a bar make for a great second living area if you have a large group.
But finally, outside to the best part of the villa; the beautiful garden and pool area. Immediately outside the back door you have a nicely shaded seating area, then a step down to the pool with a great jazuzzi built in. Two separate table and chair sets, four great sun loungers with large shade umbrellas and two other sun loungers, so plenty of seating for everyone.
A coal barbecue is in a covered area at the poolside, which also includes a sink/worktop and fridge-freezer. I was only ever a few steps away from a cold beer!
The pool area is surrounded by all kinds of foliage to maintain a private, discreet outside environment. Lemons, figs and olives are all growing in the enormous garden. The trees nicely screen you from the neighbours but we rarely noticed they were even there. It's in a lovely remote, quiet location that is so peaceful and relaxing. Nearby Alhaurin el Grande has restaurants, shops etc. You will definitely need a car to get around.
Can't recommend this place highly enough. Juan is an excellent host and it was a genuine pleasure to meet him and spend time at his villa. We're already looking forward to our next trip!!!
