We have recently returned from our second visit to Daimalos. The first was last September, and we enjoyed it so much that we felt we had to come back. I’m glad we did, because the two seasons have been so different. Autumn was a time for relaxing by the pool, whereas in spring the exotic trees and shrubs are coming into flower and it’s warm enough for lunch outside every day, but still cool enough for walking in the hills. In terms of the house, it’s not a typical buy-to-let Costa del Sol Villa, but very much a family home, with shelves of books, family photos, and a lived-in feel which we found part of its appeal! But despite the slightly chaotic informality, it has a well-equipped kitchen, WiFi and smart TV, and it’s clear that since our first visit that the owners have spent time and thought into improving the pool-side tiles and supplying new loungers and tables, which are a marked improvement on the last ones! Parking is still a bit of a problem, but Steve and Sheila (the owners) will always help you out with any assistance you need. Visitors should be aware that the villa is in a very small village that is charming to walk around, but lacking shops or restaurants. This didn’t bother us in the slightest as we bought food and drink whenever we drove down to the coast. The villa is primarily a place to get away from it all and relax with a good book, and so suited us perfectly! All in all a quirky place, but we would certainly recommend it.
