We took 6 families to Casa Santa Ynez, twelve adults and 7 children (1 in a cot) and the villa lived up to everyone's expectations. You would think that we would be under each others feet but there are so many different areas for the adults and the children to go to, you sometimes feel that you could be on your own. The villa itself is safe, especially for the children and located so close to the beach that we were using the local beach bar as our second kitchen. It's closeness to La Cala (I think the best village along this particular coastline) gives you the impetuous to get out and explore the area and visit the numerous local restaurants along it's front.
Renny was a brilliant host, if you needed anything, a car, goods, your shopping picked up prior or a maid for a few days he can sort it out for you. We had the chef Justin come in one evening and cooked a BBQ for us all and our guests (20 in total) he brought in everything and the place was spotless when he left and I must say that it was one of the best BBQ meals I have ever had with an abundance of food being cooked over a long period of time, we were probably eating for three hours.
A recommended eating establishment is the Restaurant Valparaiso on the Mijas road, spend a couple of hours in Mijas and on the way back you can call into this restaurant, book beforehand and make sure you pick a night when they have one of their floor shows on, the host and food is fantastic and the place is well worth a visit.
Away from our local beach bar and only 1km away is the Restaurant Sheriff, lovely location where the children can play on the beach whilst the adults enjoy a glass of wine and some paella.
Another quality place in a quality location that gave us all a quality holiday.
