Had a great holiday at this lovely apartment. It was a real home from home - spotless, comfortable and very well equipped. We especially enjoyed the large balcony. The photos don’t do this apartment justice. The owner and key holder were fantastic- great communication and extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Everything you could want
We have stayed in a few apartments in the area over the last few years and this is probably the most well equipped with everything you could possibly need and a very high quality. Access to the complex is simple and it is well placed for either staying local in La Cala or travelling further afield. Liz the property manager is easily contacted and extremely helpful too.

Well appointed and near to amenities.
This was my second stay in this property, it was so nice I went back!
It's a lovely 2 bed, 2 bath apartment, beautifully appointed and with everything you might need, even down to books and games. It's very near to the village for entertainment and has a Lidl 5 minutes across the road. All the rooms lead out to the terrace which had sun most of the day. Highly recommend this apartment for a relaxing holiday near to everything you need.

The whole area surrounding the apartment was aesthetically pleasing and the apartment it’s self was very well equipped and tastefully decorated. We hired a car for our stay as it was required to access golf courses but central location in the town is excellent for restaurants, bars, the local market and shops, Lidl is about 500m from apartment. The beach was easily accessible on foot about a 5min walk from the apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to get back.

Lovely spacious property
We stayed in the apartment towards the end of a hot August and as soon as we walked into the property I knew we had made a good choice, the apartment felt spacious, spotless with first class facilities. The large balcony had a lovely view towards the coast, perfect for sunbathing or relaxing with a good book. Lovely pool and well kept gardens.The complex felt safe, secure and peaceful with just a short walk into a lovely town with good restaurants and bars and beach. We loved our holiday in La Cala and we shall definitely return!

This modern apartment is excellent, it has good furnishings, is clean tidy with all the cooking utensils you need.
I have stayed in numerous apartments around the world and this is certainly in the top 10 of the ones I have stayed in. I would recommend this apartment to anybody. We will be certainly booking the apartment for future breaks.

Beautiful apartment on a lovely complex.
A really lovely, well designed, comfortable and very clean apartment. Margaret had thought of everything a guest might need, even sticking plasters and a sewing kit! It's a short walk into La Cala and Lidl is literally a 5 minute walk away. The view from the balcony is lovely, with the sea in the distance and the coast road to Malaga to the left, very pretty in the evening when all the lights come on. An absolutely delightful place to stay!

It's just a short 10 minute stroll to the beach, with fabulous bars/restaurants on your doorstep.

Beautiful clean apartment
We have just returned from 2 weeks staying in this beautiful apartment (me, my husband & 2 children, age 13 & 10) & I just want to thank Margaret & Lorraine for all their help & attention to detail. The apartment was very clean & furnished to a very high standard with lovely m&s bedding, towels & crockery. It was a pleasure to book with Margaret & her communications are great. Lorraine, the key holder in Spain, was so helpful & nothing was too much trouble. Thank you ladies!

I have endeavoured to create a 'home from home' feel for my guests so it was very pleasing to hear you liked my choice of bedding, crockery and home furnishings :-)

La Cala is a great place for a family holiday and the apartment was a fantastic base. The large balcony gives views across to the sea and to the large pool and the apartment itself was clean and spacious for the 4 of us with an excellent shower. The apartment was well equipped for any stay to prepare a meal and the proximity to Lidl made shopping easy without the need for a car. You can walk to the beach in around 10-15 minutes dependent on where you prefer to be as well as a number of restaurants in La Cala itself.
Communication with Mags prior to our stay and then with Jackie whilst we were away meant that checking in and out was made easy.
All in all we had a lovely holiday and recommend without hesitation.

A great apartment!
We were given great support from Margaret (the owner) throughout, from booking to returning home, thank you!
The apartment is as described, it has everything you could want for a comfortable holiday. It is in a lovely complex with a great vantage point and lovely views. There is a ridiculously cheap Lidl a few hundred yards away, we couldn't believe the prices. Also everything else, beach, shops, restaurants, market, transport etc, are within walking distance.
All this makes a great environment for a comfortable "home from home" relaxing holiday with everything you could possibly need very close indeed.
Book with confidence, you won't be disappointed!
We will be back

Willmore’s break
We never revisit a holiday resort for fear it would change for the worse
The last time we visited la Cala we had such a relaxing break we decided to do it again.
Surprisingly it didn’t disappoint
The apartment was very clean,
cooking utensils were as new no hesitation in using them which is unusual for the wife, (sexist I know) but Jackie is quite particular about that sort of thing
Helped having lithe supermarket within a 5 minute walk
Buses were cheap and punctual and the train to Malaga was very nice trip
Walking on the 6k promenade was a real treat
Will we go back YES.

About the host
Hosted by Margaret (Mags) McAulay
Hi, I'm Mags. Originally from Scotland but now living in the beautiful south west of England. I love to travel and in my spare time like to keep fit and socialise with friends and visit my family.
Why they chose this property
We searched along the coast of Andalusia for several months looking for the right apartment in the right place. One day whilst out viewing we stopped by chance in the lovely town of La Cala for lunch........our search was over!
What makes this property unique
La Cala has something for everyone.......beautiful blue flag beaches, a coastal walkway stretching almost 7 Km linking it to other lovely towns along the Andalusian coast. The town has a great selection of restaurants that serve everything from tapas, traditional Spanish cuisine, International cuisine to fine dining. The town is child friendly with a large children's playground beside the local school, and a wooden Pirate Ship and smaller playground located on the beachfront.
