Returned on Tuesday from a fantastic stay at Villa Ellen.
There was 12 girls in all for my hen weekend, and not once did we feel cooped up as I felt we might in a hotel.
Carole allowed us to arrive at 10am as our flight was early, which was fab and a massive help - and meant we could get straight by the lovely pool area! There is also a gazebo area next to the pool with beds in, for the lesser sun worshippers among us! We found this area perfect for relaxing with a book.
The villa is spacious with plenty of room for 12/13 people, and was lovely and cool despite the soaring temperatures outside. In the terrace area is a fantastic table to eat around altogether, another feature that made the break really sociable and relaxed.
The Wi-Fi was a great help for us with booking taxis and ordering ourselves a curry one night (heavy night in Torremolinos!!) Although we didn't hire a car we found ourselves not actually wanting to leave the villa, but when we did go out ordering taxis and minibuses was an easy task with minimal Spanish. On our way to the villa we stopped at a supermarket and bought enough food to feed 12 people for 3 days - for 7 euros each!! So definitely more cost effective in that respect.
Carole is lovely and extremely helpful, there was also a noticeboard with taxi numbers & takeaway menus whih were a great help.
With the DVD player, books, magazines and maps, it really was a home from home!
Thank you for a brilliant stay, we would not hesistate to book with Carole again.
