Avis Beautiful villa, panoramic views of sea and mountains, close to town

I spent 2 weeks in Villa Mimosa with family. The house is great, it has 6 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms, lots of outdoor spaces, a gym/ ping pong room downstairs, amazing views and a community swimming pool opposite the house. But the house needs a lot of maintenance - ceiling fans not working, air conditioning leaking, drawers that don´t close properly, the toilet downstairs cannot be used as it has a very strong smell and the door doesn´t work properly. The stairs going up to the house on both sides need repairing. The wifi does not work , we had to use mobile data. We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mimosa, but the feeling is that for the price we paid the house should have been in a much better condition.

La casa no está limpia hay muchísimas zonas que acumulan suciedad. Los armarios huelen muchísimo a humedad, tanto en los dormitorios como en la cocina. Los sofás están muy sucios. La invasión de hormigas es casi lo de menos.

This is a lovely large Villa which was perfect for us as we were 3 families holidaying together. Plenty of outdoor space and the shared pool (although we were the only ones in it) was well kept and a good size for swimming and diving. It's a 10 min walk down a steep hill to the town. Very manageable, but if you struggle then there are plenty of taxis around for a lift back up (7 Euros). Lovely area - very spanish which was great. Almunicar is a 20 min walk along the beach front. A larger town with lots going on. We stayed for 2 weeks with no transport and managed just fine, as long as you are happy to walk up and down hills. Please note - there are lots of ants! Sounds a common thing in the area, but the Villa was infested. Ant powder did the trick, but you really can't leave any food anywhere other than in the fridge or it will be covered with them. On the plus side - mosquitos were a minimum which was a god send. A happy trade off!

We have spent many years as a large family group holidaying in Villas around Andalucia, though this was our fist visit, as a family, to Almunecar. From the minute we enquired about the villa to the time we arrived, June was helpful, courteous and prompt in all her communications with us. the villa itself is wonderful. its very large with amazing terraces and views over the Mediterranean. there was easy enough space for our large group (9 adults) in the house and on the terraces. the villa is well equipped, it had everything we needed. A special mention for the ice dispenser on one of the two fridges, which ensured our sangria was always well chilled whilst we watched the sunset over the med.. the kitchen was a little well used in places, but no more than any other villa we have stayed in (its a holiday home!!!) We, of course, used the bbq more than the kitchen :) the villa is located at the top of a hill, so as has been said a car is important if you intend to get supplies from one of the many local supermarkets. there are a couple of walks down into town, one was pretty easy (our 70+ year old parents managed it without issue), you can then walk along the beach into Almunecar. the walk directly into Almunecar was a little more strenuous, but was easily manageable. we never attempted the walk back.. but finding a taxi in town was easy, cheap and took only 5 mins. Almunecar is a great town, and has a little something for everyone, lots of small winding streets in the old town, with typical and authentic Spanish bars (with free tapas!), shops and restaurants. Lots of beach bars serving amazing food directly on any of the beaches, and some more lively spots for the younger members of our group. There is lots to see, including Parks and live music, an Aquarium, and even a Castle! its definitely feels more authentic than many of the other places we have been, and we cannot wait to return We would all definitely recommend June and Ron's Villa...and Almunecar
