An oasis of tranquility
We had a fabulous stay in Marion's apartment. It was immaculately clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were really comfortable and ensured we slept perfectly. The shower was powerful - almost therapeutic. We cooked quite a bit - making full use of the microwave, airfryer and hot plates. One of the best things about the apartment is the location - directly overlooking the beach and esplanade. We enjoyed many evenings eating and drinking on the balcony, taking full advantage of the spectacular sunsets. We were a few minutes walk from Mercadona, which sold a wide range of fresh and convenience food and a full range of groceries. We discovered an absolute gem just around the corner - the Makati Japanese restaurant and take away - fantastic food. Even 'though Los Boliches/ Fuengirola is a hive of activity with lots to see and do, we found Marion's apartment to be a peaceful retreat - quiet and relaxing. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

A pleasant relaxing holiday
My 19 year old daughter and I had a lovely time at this lovely clean, spacious studio. With it’s large double bed and also a very comfortable single bed, we had no problem getting a great nights sleep. With the beach just across the road plus a heated swimming pool at the hotel as well, we were spoiled for choice. The very friendly staff also made our stay very enjoyable. Everything is close to you including a large supermarket which is 3 minutes away. Great studio, great location, lovely food and excellent weather. What more do you need?👍

Perfect location with amazing sea view, super shower & comfy beds!
Marion was a perfect hostess. Her studio apartment is very clean, compact and comfortable. The view from the balcony is spectacular. Located on the second floor there was never a need to use the lift. Tv was great to have choice of english channels. Wifi was perfect. Safe povided too which gave peace of mind. Bathroom was small but the shower was SUPER! Lots of towels provided. Deck chairs for the beach, but beds on beach are available at €6.50 per day. Beds are very comfortable, memory foam mattresses and lots of pillows. This apartment is very well equipped, lots of adapters provided so no need to bring any. Air conditioning is very effective and runs very quietly so doesn't interfere with tv or sleep! Staff at reception were very polite and friendly. Marion's place is just perfect and we loved staying there. We hope to return!

Best studio in Stella Maris
I've stayed in Stella Maris many times and this was the best studio I ever stayed at there. The terrace and the views to the beach and the promenade are spectacular. The studio is Modern and with live colors, it has everything you need for a hassle free stay and Marion has been very attentive and helpful. The beds are very comfortable. Location is great, close to Los Boliches train station which we walked from and took us like 10 minutes. There is a mercadona supermarket just a few steps away which is well stock and sells wine/alcohol. The bar/restaurants in the lobby serves good food and drinks, and it's open until late. From the studio you can walk to anywhere in Fuengirola and the promenade. I will stay in Marion's studio always that I can.

Had a great week and Marion makes sure everything is there that u need. Could not believe the amount of supplies that were there for use from needle and thread, all the toiletries u need, tea, coffee,sugar,salt, pepper. Loads of cleaning provisions, towels, bags etc. We would not hesitate to recommend this appartment and Marion keeps in touch to make sure everything is in order. The bed was so comfy you sleep like a baby and having English channels to watch on TV was great. Loads of nice restaurants to eat and drink and prices were good.

Location is fantastic,
This is a great crash pad, we normally rent apartments so where concerned at the lack of space in the studio. After the first night we never noticed. As we spent most of the time on the balcony with its wonderful sea views, we didn't bother putting the bed away. The studio has everything required for your stay, you might struggle to cook a 3 course meal, but as there are fantastic places to eat no matter what way you turn when leaving the building why would you want to. The wifi is erratic but when working is fine. Would I rent again ? If it was second row no, as it is front row yes. You are paying for the view first place second. Dealing with the owners was a pleasure, no problems what so ever.

excellent location and great value for money
We have just returned from a 4 night stay at this apartment. It is fairly basic, but very clean and has everything you need. The location couldn't be better, both in terms of the entrance to apartment block being about 20 yards from the hotel, and the fact that the apartment is right in between Los Boliches and Fuengirola. We walked down to Fuengirola one night but it's a bit too 'Brits Abroad' for what we prefer. Los Boliches is a lovely place and has some excellent, and very cheap restaurants through the streets just off the main drag. The balcony on the apartment is great and gets the sun right up to about 3pm, so apart from sleeping and washing we hardly spent any time at all inside. The best thing about the apartment is the value for money - I can't imagine you'd be able to find as well equipped an apartment, in as good a location, with as good a balcony for less money than this one costs. Marion is also a helpful host.

Well guys... so pleased you enjoyed your stay at my studio apartment in the well appointed clean Stella Maris Aparthotel with it's 24 hour reception & thank you for your kind words ... Just to clarify - Stella Maris Aparthotel with its 24 hour reception, consists of "self-contained" studio and 1/2 bedroom apartments of which I'm a private owner of a studio overlooking the sea - 50 yds away - across the street and promenade !! .. You're spot on guys ! .. it's not about the apartment itself -which is about maximising space yet being functional & more about it's location in the lovely Stella Maris Aparthotel and it's easy accessibility to all amenities including the pool area adjoining the Aparthotel .. Yes indeed, a 10 minute stroll into "downtown" Fuengirola where the train & bus terminus are located offers plenty of shopping, nightlife and is busy busy & buzzing with holiday-makers especially during the summer season and of course the famous 'fish alley' - the street of a thousand restaurants !! I also love the fishing village of Los Boliches itself which has its own beautiful restaurants and shopping and access to hair and beauty/spa treatments and not forgetting the magnificent coastline of the Costa del Sol .. I recently took some young children on a trip around Fuengirola/Los Boliches on the "pony & trap" tour - their base is at the Port a 5 minute stroll away - it was enchanting especially at night time and very informative and of course the children loved the magnificent horses and their caring owners !! .. It's always a pleasure to have "paying" Guests stay at my studio apartment and it would not work as well as it does without your cooperation re housekeeping - so thank you and all my Guests most kindly for that. Kind Regards & Adios 'till next time !! Marion

Stunning location, perfect mix of vibrancy & calm.
This sea front studio apartment is just a stones throw away from what can only be described as a beautiful beach. Just metres to the left and right are a range of bars and restaurants that cater for all requirements, some offering home from home, others wonderful local delicacies. The apartment was compact but offered more than enough space for my partner, as well as being neat and tidy. All the living can be done outside on the balcony with the incredible views. The building itself was clean, smart & welcoming. The pool was adequate and offered plenty of space around it. Overall it was one of my best holidays, whilst the location topped anywhere i've ever stayed. Would recommend to all sun seekers, whatever their jet setting requirements.

Amazing studio in a superb location!
This place is amazing! All you need to have a relaxed stay whether you want to stay in and watch the world go by, venture into central Fuengirola or the other way to Los Boliches and beyond. The studio is very well equipped and very well presented. The staff are also very helpful too. There are plenty of restaurants around the area and the Supermarket is right behind for getting nibbles to enjoy on the balcony. I'd highly recommend this place for people to stay, and the owner; Marion is excellent to deal with! She is very fast in responding as well as giving very useful information and recommendations on places to go. It's a shame I can' rate this higher than 5 stars! I'll be going back!

Perfect Appartment for a relaxing holiday
The accommodation was perfect for our holiday. Everything was inside and the description of the appartment was 100% correct. The view to the sunrise in the morning was a dream and the fact that the beach is only across the road was perfect. Communication with Marion was great and easy. Everything went smoothly especially with check-in and check-out. Marion was very friendly and always took care and inquired. She is a great host. Thank you again for everything. We enjoyed our holiday and will definitely come back again.

Excelente anfitriona
Todo estuvo perfecto. La recepción, rápida y sin problemas. La ubicación, en primera línea. La anfitriona, excepcional. Pendiente de todo y dando todas las facilidades posibles. El apartamento, pequeño, pero para ducharse, dormir y desayunar en la terraza perfecto. La limpieza, impoluta. Para repetir sin duda.
