The villa is in a urbanisation which is very well maintained, it is a reasonably old villa but it has been renovated to a high standard, the gardens were beautiful. I loved the palm trees.
The location was great to visit Estepona and Sotogrande.
We were a family of 5 with 3 young children, and the villa had plenty of space to spread out, the open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room are superb, the views are amazing, with some amazing sunrises. The bedrooms are functional and nicely decorated. All the rooms have air con.
The outside space was great, it links with the villa really well and feels very private. The outside furniture made it a great place to relax. The pool is large and we were lucky to have hot weather, so this enabled us to use the pool every day, perfect for my children. The views were amazing from the outside area, it had a great feel.
We visited Sotogrande marina, Puerto de la Duquesa. We also played golf at Fina Cortesin which was fantastic. Highly recommend it. There are some really good restaurants nearby as well. The local garage has some supplies.
However we did have a few issues. The pool had a green stain around the top edge of the pool and this was a bit off putting, I can only assume this was because a lack of maintenance during lock down. the pool water itself was clean and we had no issues swimming.
The villa would benefit from a more secure front gate, it is quite old and not secure. The neighbourhood felt safe, so it wasn't to much of an issue. The rear glass door that leads to the pool only has a small metal clip that locks the door, this really needs looking at, it did not feel secure. The front door is like Fort Knox so I couldn't understand why the rear door has one small metal clip to secure it.
We didn't use the downstairs apartment, but we did have a look, the room smelt quite damp and i'm not sure I would be happy staying in there, which is a shame because all the other rooms are great.
Overall we had a really nice relaxing week, the few issues we did encounter did not ruin our stay, some great memories had.
Thank You
