Quite simply everything about the apartment perfectly suited us. We sat out in the balcony for hours just relaxing. For a pasty white Scot it was great because there was an awning that provide shade the whole day, but if you love the sun you just adjust to suit. The balcony was large enough that it had a full size dining table that we used a lot, and again there was an awning to provide shade when eating. Sitting in a valley the views for the mountains were pretty and there were a couple of days we were so lazy I saw the sunrise and sunset over the mountains without leaving the apartment.
There is a reasonable sized community pool. It never gets busy and most of the time it is empty.
The rest of the rooms were big and airy, and even although it was hot we only every had the air con a couple of times, because the rooms were naturally cool.
The kitchen had everything and I mean everthing, it was spotless and a joy to use.
We did get a few insect bites, so make sure you take what best works for you.
We are not a family that would have enjoyed staying in Puerto Banus (though it was nice to visit) and the village in Benahavis suites us just fine. It is a pleasant walk to the centre and there are ample choices of restaurants and bars. There was always a nice buzz but relaxed feel at night sitting out and having couple of drinks.
There is only a little basic shop in the village, but a couple miles drive takes to a new Mercando that has everthing u need.
We have a 16 year daughter who got a little bored at times, but the WiFi is good, so we left her too it.
We were there during the World Cup and there was no problems getting the UK channels on hd.
Overall we really enjoyed our time and would not hesitate in recommending this apartment.
