About the host
Hosted by Peter and Sue
Hi. I'm Peter. I grew up and still live in Jersey, Channel Islands. I'm a Graphic Designer. My wife, Sue grew up in Southampton, UK and after our a holiday romance in Portugal in 1999 she moved to Jersey six months later and we have been together ever since.
Sue's dream was to one day own a place in the sun where we could escape the winter months. We searched for five years to find the perfect place - Villa Mariposa is that place. We love our time in Mijas and we want to share our beautiful villa with you so you can make some fabulous memories too.
Why they chose this property
We have visited the Costa del Sol many times. I've cycled thousands of kilometres in the region and we have both played almost all of the golf courses in this area. The Riviera del Sol gives us the opportunity to easily pursue our passions for sport, socialising, shopping and relaxing.
What makes this property unique
The villa is situated at the end of a quiet Cul de Sac so passing traffic isn't an issue. The surrounding area feels safe and friendly with plenty of street lights. The view from the outside dining area down to the Med is glorious, and we never tire of the views from the villa, especial from the master bedroom balcony. We can lie in bed and watch the boats sail by.
The pool is 8m x 4m (3ft to 6ft deep). There are three fruit trees next to the outside dining area. There's nothing quite like a fresh slice of organic lemon or lime in a G&T. Or maybe a freshly squeezed orange in the morning.
