Large one bed apartment in a good position. Close to beach and short walk to town centre. Pool available , but no sunbeds. Safe advertised but not useable. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Bedding could be improved. Nice walk in shower with good water pressure, but screens need replacing. British TV channels not available . Hosts very responsive.

Hi I'm shocked at your review no sun beds are allowed and so are not advertised there are fold up chairs available to bring to the pool We have a full tv package you obviously did not read the instructions or contact catriona she's would have sorted in mins regards the shower it's not long fitted and the bedding is renewed on a regular basic regards the safe the last tennant lost the keys and on my next visit it will be replaced I keep my apt to a very high standard and am disappointed at your review it's not a 5 star hotel regards Patrick

Lovely stay

A lovely bright apartment with a sunny terrace in the mornings. This apartment has everything you need for your stay in La Cala. It is close to restaurants, bars etc & minutes from the beach. It was spotlessly clean & had a very comfy bed with loads of extra pillows (always a plus in my book) A very enjoyable stay Hope you have a successful season ahead Marcella & Gary

Great Apartment!

We stayed for 11 nights in June and couldn't fault the apartment. We arrived late but were met by Paul and shown round the apartment. It's in a perfect location - only a short walk to the beach and centre of La Cala. The apartment itself has everything you need and the balcony is huge! We will definitely be booking again.

Great getaway location at quieter end of La Cala. Clean spacious accommodation overlooking pool area and gardens, situated within easy walking distance to town and or beach, 10 minutes. Bus stop close by making it ideal for local transport links if needed. Everything you need in close proximity. Recommended.

PARADISE

We stayed at this apartment in April/May 2015.We have rented many times over the years but have never experienced such a well maintained, clean and everything as expected rental. The apartment was so well equipped nothing was missing. What was also a bonus was that it was very secure i.e. entrance doors, door to the pool etc. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to family, friends and we hope to return next year.

Fantastic apartment in great location

We loved everything about this property. It was a good size for the two of us and a real home from home. Very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The apartment is a leisurely stroll into the centre of La Cala and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. It's also close to the beach and all amenities. The main highway is close by but there was no sound from the traffic and the pool and gardens were lovely and peaceful. We highly recommend this apartment and look forward to staying here again in the not too distant future. Thanks to Patrick and his management team for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Wonderful apartment! Perfect location.

Everything about our stay was really great. Communication with our host was really easy. The apartment is very spacious, the beds (main and sofa) were really comfortable. We hired a car, which we didn't need as everything was in very easy walking distance, even for the kids. If you do hire a car and you're stuck for a space, there is parking just over the footbridge near the Lidl. All parking seems to be free. The pool was a really great size and perfect depth for children of all swimming abilities. Thank you for keeping the box of beach and pool stuff. We borrowed a couple of lilos and a parasol for the beach. We'd love to stay again. The apartment really had everything we needed and more. Thank you.

Great location, well maintained and very spacious

This was our first time to La Cala de Mijas and my husband and kids (6 & 11) first time in Spain! On arrival we were greeted by Paul who showed us around the apartment. The apartment was well equipt with everything you could possibly need. There are 2 reclining deck chairs on the balcony which we took down to the pool and a large table with 4 chairs. There were also buckets and spades which please my daughter no end. We left 3 noodles for the pool to be used by anyone in future. The sun is on the balcony from early morning until approx. lunchtime. We had a slight issue accessing the Wifi but a quick message to Chrissie & Patrick sorted that. This is a very Spanish resort with very few typical British tourist pubs, which makes this place a great wee find and certainly well worth a visit. There are many great places to eat within 2 mins walk from the apartment, Utopia & The Albahaca are both well worth a visit and we frequented both on many occasions. From contacting Patrick with my initial enquiry to book through to actually arriving the communication was great and always answered any query I had promptly. I would recommend this great find to anyone who wishes a slice of the true Spain as you will not be disappointed. Will definitely book again if I can every find it free as this place is always fully booked well in advance as it is such a great place to stay.

petit et sale

A notre arrivée l'appartement était très sale, sol,wc;frigo + congélateur,poubelle,vaisselles etc...,photos a appuis et n'avais pas été nettoyé avant notre arrivée et donc forcément pas d'état des lieux. Nous avons fais constaté a l'agence qui ne nous a pas proposé de le faire nettoyer et a évoqué un hypothétique délais de réservation sans fondement. de plus l'appartement est très loin des 90 m2 annoncé il fait environ 53 m2 .. a notre départ nous avons eu un retrait sans autorisation de 120 euros pour des soit disant dégâts présent a notre arrivée. Nous sommes donc en litige et attendons la solution aux problème engendré par la mauvaise gestion de la location. la clef de l'appartement est a posé au magasin d'article pour chiens; car personne a l'agence. on peut pas mettre moins de 2 étoiles, sinon c'est 1 sauf pour l'emplacement qui mérite un 4.
