We have just returned from a wonderful stay in this villa Sally the host greeted us on arrival and was always on hand if you needed help or advice which is very reassuring.The villa itself is like a second home spacious with all the amenities you could need .The basics were all provided wash powder, dish washer tablets, washing up liquid and the store cupboard had seasonings,oils ,tea ,coffee, sugar, milk as well as complementary wine and Sangria which we thoroughly enjoyed .however we did all struggle with the controls on the microwave, hob and oven which were a little temperamental and hard to control but the gas bbq was an excellent bonus. We hired cars from the airport as we intended to do a little sightseeing which would have been very time consuming if we had used public transport and my son’s family needed the freedom to go to the beach but there is a regular half hourly bus service to Mijas 200 meters away and Fuengirola we used both of these in our second week. Walking to Mijas or the shops was not an option it was far too hot not to mention being uphill! The closest supermarkets are Aldi and lidls on the outskirts of Fuengirola a short 5/10 minute drive away and similarly Mijas in the other direction is packed with cafes and restaurants to eat in and dozens of small shops . Park in the multi story it’s either free or very cheap depending upon the day / time and saves driving round searching for parking . The pool outside is a great size with lots of seating options
