Villa Alhambra
The villa was excellent and extremely clean, the hill from the villa is steep but wasn’t a problem for our party. The village is only a ten minute walk where there is a wide variety of good bars and restaurants and a couple of supermarkets and bakeries, Anneli met us on arrival and showed us round the villa and explained everything we needed to know and left us her contact details in case we needed to contact her which we didn’t has everything went to plan she also supplied a welcome pack on arrival. We all enjoyed our stay in the villa it was excellent.

Lovely villa and set in a beautiful location. Only problem we had was how steep the hills were. Both myself and my son suffer asthma so we really found it difficult, so it was constant taxis. No other problems 👍

August family hiliday
First time we ventured on a family holiday booking a villa rather than a hotel. Were apprehensive but have come home with nothing than super pleased following a fantastic time. The villa was great. Everything you could need was available and impossible not to relax in the garden and in the terrace. Short 5 minute walk to the old town square of Pueblo with lovely restaurants or a bus/ taxi ride to the Marina, it was all easily accessible. We h loved it all and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others to stay here. Yes there is a very steep hill as other reviews mention, but a steep hill isn’t exclusive to the villa location. The whole area has steep hills.

Relaxing holiday
We stayed August 2023 with a 13 and 11 year old and had a wonderful holiday. The villa had everything that we needed and the pool was a joy in the 37 degree heat! As mentioned in the listing, it is a hilly walk to the town but it is so worth it for the gorgeous streets, amazing views and the lovely cafes and restaurants. Most mornings we took a 5 min walk up the hill to Pan Deluxe for coffees and pastries. Great communication from the host from the outset and during the stay and very easy check in. We'd recommend this villa to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in a lovely area.

A wonderful family holiday
Annali is a wonderful host and was very communicative during our entire stay. There were snacks and wine to greet us . We had issues with the refrig when we arrived and she replaced it the next day. The home is well appointed. Plenty of pillows, towels dishes, pots And pans .The swimming pool was enjoyed by everyone. Sitting out on the patio in the mornings having breakfast with views of the sea . Walking up to the Pueblo for dinners could be a bit of a challenge for some people , but even our 5 and 3 year old grandchildren could manage. The restaurant suggests on the house list are all amazing La Cupula is a dining experience not to be missed. We hope one day Colorado travelers

Had an amazing few days in this lovely property. Just feel that I need to mention how steep the area is and taxis were a must for us or we wouldn’t have benefitted from visiting the locality. We found a couple of nice areas to eat but we couldn’t have walked to them as the hills were just too steep. However now that we have sorted out ordering taxis we wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

This is a beautiful villa less than 10 minutes walk from the town. It had everything we needed during our stay. The host was very responsive and helpful with questions we had. I would absolutely recommend. Be aware that the villa is at the bottom of a very steep hill so it is quite a trek to town.

Lovely place to stay
Loved this villa it was perfect for us. We were a group of 5, 3 adults and 2 children 5 & 7. The kids loved the garden and pool and the villa has everything you could need. The village/town is within a 10 minute walk which although its all uphill is a nice walk and was perfectly fine for all ages of our party from 5 to 55 yrs, although if walking isn’t for you a taxi is very easy to get at all times of the day. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Great Villa and Location
We had a lovely stay at this villa at the beginning of August. The villa was well equipped (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer) with everything needed to enjoy your holiday. The beds were comfortable and the veranda and garden were very enjoyable to relax in. It’s a ten minute walk uphill into town which was fine for us but it wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues. The town has plenty of lovely places to eat but we did find we had to pre-book to get a table at some restaurants at this busy time of year. We didn’t hire a car and found we could easily hire a taxi if we wanted to go to the beach or down to the marina. Communication with the hosts Anneli and Maarten was excellent from start to finish. They quickly responded to any questions and provided lots of information about the villa.

Amazing place in a great location!
We stayed for a week as a group of friends and it was perfect for what we wanted. It was a short walk into Rancho Domingo where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Also it’s only a short taxi ride/drive into Belamadena where there is a lovely beach. The property was very clean and exactly how it appears in the pictures. The outside spaces were also perfect for days in the villa. Anneli was great to get a hold of if we had any questions. Overall a great week and would recomend!

Great stay at Villa Anna
Our host Maarten was great to deal with from our first inquiry to the date we left the villa. He was helpful and responsive and would reply to any questions we had very quickly. The Villa was just what we wanted, good lounge space, nice sized kitchen with everything you needed, good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage, great garden and pool. The Villa is close to the village and to its many amenities, there are great bars and restaurants. The walk to the village is about eight minutes. The walk however is up quiet a steep hill, we are in our late sixties and found it OK, but it could be a problem for some. We enjoyed our 6 weeks stay and can recommend the villa and Maarten he was a pleasure to deal with.

A fantastic stay in a lovely villa.
We had the most fantastic break in this lovey villa. on arrival we were greeted by Peter, who showed us all of the the villa facilities. A really quiet location with a very secluded garden yet with views of the sea. We stayed at the villa for most of the time as we needed a relaxing break. We did venture out a couple of times for a walk round the area to look at some of the lovely shops and for sightseeing and of course for groceries and a meal at Escorpio (absolutely fantastic) , the shops are close by, only a 5-10 minute walk, dependent of age and agility. The area is built into a very steep incline, hence the fantastic views. We did not hire a car but i would for our next stay as there is so much to see. We would recommend this Villa.

Beautiful gardens and great location
Everything from the original enquiry to our last day has been very smooth. The villa was just what we needed for a family of 4 with 2 grown teenagers too old to share a room any more! We have spent days relaxing by the pool, driving to the various sights and walking up into the village for meals. There is a steep walk into the village but that was our nightly exercise and helped to work off all the excellent food! The pool is a great size and you have everything you need to make it home from home. The fridge and freezer were most welcome, in some places we have stayed the freezer is little more than a small ice box. But this accommodated plenty of ice cubes and ice creams! An excellent location with views to the sea, I will miss my morning coffee on the veranda, with the smell of fruit trees and jasmine in the air, looking down to the coast! Thank you Maarten and Elly!

Villa in Belenmadena Pueblo
Overall a nice property, could have done with parasols to avoid having to come into what was a very nice shaded area with comfortable seating. The beds were very comfortable. A little untidy in areas with torn parasol and punctured lilo just left on porch area. For a villa supposed to cover 6 people there were only 3 mugs but generally well equipped with lots of little extras such as salt ,pepper,teabags, washing up materials etc available. The pool was good but was only cleaned once during our 2 week stay and that was at our request. The area was very secluded and quiet and you needn't buy lemons for your G and T as they grew on trees in what was a very pleasant garden. The villa position at the bottom of a steep bank was admittedly a bit much for us (in our 70s) but it wasn't a long walk into the Pueblo. The general area of Benalmadena, Fuengerola and Torremolinos was well worth a visit and the train service into Malaga was both efficient and cheap. Overall a very nice holiday.

We stayed in November, weather was good. Plenty of bars and restaurants in the village. We didn't hire a car because the shops are close. We enjoyed the walks down to the seafront and up in the hills behind the village. If you're looking for a chill out holiday this is the answer. Would definitely go back.

Fantastic villa in a peaceful location, yet close to town and the sea
We stayed at the villa for one week, it exceeded our expectations. The location within walking distance of Benalmádena Pueblo was fantastic, great restaurants and cafes. From Pueblo we did few daytrips to Malaga and Mijas by bus, car hire was not necessary. The villa had three very good sized double bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was plenty of space for group of six adults. Garden is really well looked after and pool was really refreshing on a sunny day. You get a lovely view to the sea, it’s worth waking up before sunrise just to sit on the terrace and watch the sun rise over the sea. Walk to the villa is quite steep for the first few meters, easy to come down with shopping. Really quiet neighbourhood, perfect if you want to avoid the more tourist areas, we much preferred village life to seaside resorts. Would love to come back one day! Many thanks for the hospitality!

Home from Home
Spent a wonderful 2 weeks at this lovely villa, everything we needed was right here, the pool and gardens were gorgeous and we spent many an hour relaxing here. The view to the coast was lovely and although the hill up from the villa was steep it did us really good and the pueblo is lovely to visit. Should you want the coast it's only a bus or taxi ride away. Maartins communication was fantastic from my initial enquiry to instructions for arrival, I would recommend this villa in a heartbeat but you would need to bear in mind the pueblo is on the side of the mountain and could be more difficult for those who are less mobile.

A lovely villa, comfortable and with a pool that the kids loved. The owner is very quick at replying to your messages and extremely helpful. A quick 10 minute walk into the village but it is up hill so would be a problem for people with mobility issues. We would definitely stay here again but just be advised there isn't any internet so ensure you download films before arriving.

Beautiful villa with amazing gardens and pool!
Fantastic villa for all the family! Gardens and pool are immaculate and the villa was set up for our baby with high chair and cot which was a great help! Only thing to note is there is no access to any of the local amenities bar up a great big hill followed by two more. This was very difficult for my mum and father in law to climb and to push the pram up each day. However once at the top the shops, bars, restaurants and views are fantastic and we will be back to this beautiful town in the near future! Marteen is also hands on and answers any questions you have and got back to me almost immediately. I found the communication levels excellent!

We recently stayed in Villa Anna for a week. The villa was very clean well kept and equipped. Was in a quite road in the old village of Benalmadena which is lovely with lots of good resturants. These were all within walking distance but up a hill. Maarten the owner was very helpful and arranged transfers from the airport by a guy also called Martin who was also most helpful. We had a great stay thank you to all involved.

We enjoyed our 10 days stay very much. Villa is comfortable and offers good privacy. The garden was beautiful and you have a nice view to the sea from the pool and terrace. The arrival to the property could be a little easier, it is at the end off the very steep street with very little extra space. But it was ok because the street is very quiet and no traffic.
