We stayed at the villa for three weeks after spending a week near La Cala golfing with our youngest son.The road to the villa is very long and extremely winding. It was also quite difficult for our transfer driver to find the property, as there is no sign at the top of the steep driveway. A car is definitely recommended. We didn’t have one, but we found local taxi drivers, Rafa and Jose, who were excellent and took us up to Comares whenever we needed.Later, my other children joined us. The pool and outdoor area were fantastic, and we spent most of our time there. The showers had good water pressure and the bathrooms were nice.The villa became very hot during our stay. There was a very old, noisy floor-standing fan in one bedroom, but it wasn’t enough to cool the rest of the villa. The other fans were too small and mainly circulated the warm air, so the upstairs lounge and dining area were too hot to comfortably use. Installing air conditioning would transform the villa and make it a much more enjoyable place to spend time indoors.There is a bar about a third of the way towards Comares, around a 30–40 minute walk from the villa, which is a nice option if you don’t want to go all the way into the village.One thing future guests should be prepared for is the mosquitoes. They were relentless in the evenings, so if you want to sit outside after sunset, bring plenty of good-quality mosquito repellent. We found it absolutely essential.The villa would also benefit from so
