Amazing villa
This villa is absolutely amazing! It is even more beautiful than in the photos! The pool area is clean and there is beautiful view to the mountains. Beds and pillows are really comfortable. Especially loved the bathroom, which had door to the pool, really handy! Location is really nice, you can easily also walk to the supermarket and restaurants, if you want. We have stayed in several villas in this area, but this has been definitely the best, can't wait to book it again! Owners are also easy to contact, if you need anything.

Fantastic villa and service.
A little oasis of calm !
Just what we needed for a quiet and peacefull holiday.
5 minutes drive to all of the fantastic restaurants in Alhaurin el Grande.
Everything was clean and working, the reception staff from Cubo's were very helpful when I had communication issues on landing at the airport.
It even had a little fish pond, a nice surprise!
I can highly recommend.
Maybe more towels or wash powder / tablets for the washing machine.

We stayed for 1 week as a family of 4 with two young children and absolutely loved it!The Villa is set in a beautiful and peaceful part of Alhaurin El Grande overlooking the mountains. It really was an amazing to wake up every morning in such a setting.The pictures don’t do the villa justice, especially outside. So much space for the kids to play and enjoy themselves and the pool was brilliant and clean. I would advise hiring a car, especially if you have children as the 15 minute walk into town is up some steep hills. Once you’re there it a lovely bustling Spanish town with everything that you need. You are also 30 minutes away from Benalmadena, Malaga, Fuengirola if you want to explore. Our host was exceptional and we would definitely come back here again.

Amazing!
What a house! From the moment you get into the gate, you get amazed by everything around. House is stunning with the spanish style that we all are looking for when going on holidays and its fully equipped, air condition in every room etc. there is literally nothing missing on this house. Very clean, good roads to access the house and close to the town/city center with nice coffee bars and small restaurants. Pool is ideal temperature, size etc and most important great owner to assist you in anything you need. Malaga beaches in max 30min by car.
I recommend it as i will be back for sure.
Traveling with 2 kids (3 & 6 years old) and wife.

Wij hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad, het huisje was top. Brandschoon en mooi ingedeeld. De locatie is prima als je het niet erg vind om 30/40 minuten te rijden ergens heen. Een auto is een must! De huisbaas was ook erg aardig, hij heeft ons een aantal keer geholpen met het zwembad en hij bracht ons een paar keer wat biertjes. Heel aardig.

der beste Urlaub
Unser Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft in Alhaurín el Grande war sehr angenehm. Die ruhige Lage bot die perfekte Erholung und dennoch konnte man die Stadt in nur 15 Minuten zu Fuß erreichen. Auch Málaga war in 30 Minuten mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Die Ausstattung der Unterkunft war insgesamt zufriedenstellend, allerdings hätte die Küche etwas besser ausgestattet sein können. Jeder Raum verfügte über eine Klimaanlage, was besonders bei den warmen Temperaturen sehr angenehm war. Die Sauberkeit der Unterkunft war vorbildlich. Der Poolbereich war gepflegt und sauber, was uns sehr gefiel. tzdem hat uns die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen und wir konnten die Zeit dort genießen. Insgesamt eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft, die wir gerne wieder besuchen würden. Vier Sterne!

Highly recommended! The house is amazing! Around the house is a small garden with the orange trees and lemon trees, so every day you can have a glass of fresh juice! We had an amazing time! The swimming pool and the barbecue were awesome! The village is wonderful! The food was amazing and the local shops are very cheap! I have no words to say how happy time it was! Many thanks!

Bref on recommande mille fois et on espère revenir inshaAllah.
Nous avons passé (mon mari mes trois enfants et moi même) un séjour mémorable en grande partie grâce à cette magnifique villa. Nous avons pu profiter de la maison avec sa piscine et sa terrasse très agréable. Nous étions contents de rentrer après les journées éprouvantes des visites des grandes villes d’Andalousie. La maison est hyper fonctionnelle, agréable, très propre et les équipements y sont de qualité (mobilier, coussins, matelas, mobilier de jardin). Nous avons aussi apprécié l’accueil chaleureux avec les citrons du jardins et le nécessaire pour notre arrivée (huile d’olive, etc) ainsi que les petites attentions (serviettes de bain près de la piscine, savons, gel douche).De plus que soit l’agence ou le fils du propriétaire, les deux ont toujours été réactifs et très gentils. L’emplacement aussi est idéal car près des grands axes vers Malaga et autres villes très belles à visiter.Bref on recommande mille fois et on espère revenir inshaAllah.

Sin duda para repetir
La casa tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar y más. Es cómoda, muy limpia (al punto de mover una mesita para usar el enchufe y no ver una mota de polvo). La cocina perfecta, no le falta de nada, el porche es fantástico y la piscina como nueva. Todas las noches usamos la barbacoa. Muy a tener en cuenta que todas las ventanas tienen mosquiteras y que el baño de fuera es super cómodo. Isabel, la anfitriona, un lujo de señora.
El colchón de matrimonio de la habitación con ventilador, se hunde demasiado (al menos para mi gusto, claro). Y la wifi, la señal es muy corta y no da para usarla en la TV.

We hebben 2 heerlijke weken gehad in dit zalige huis. Alles was schoon, locatie top. Met half uurtje zit je aan de kust. Alhaurin El Grande vonden we een prima plek, maar de restaurantjes vonden we wat minder. Wij gingen daarom vaak in de avond richting Fuengirola. Het huis is zalig, lekker rustig en alle ruimte met een heerlijk zwembad en buitenruimte.Kortom, genoten de afgelopen 2 weken.

We stayed with kids and really enjoyed the villa. Definitely will visit again. The only small issue was wifi internet which was not fast enough to stream youtube etc but it in fact was positive as kids enjoyed time playing and swimming pool rather than being glued to the tvipads.
