Fantastic property and great location. Highly recommend. I used the additional pool room as an office to work each morning, which was reall goof too. Bryan, the hostveas excellent
Fantastic holiday. We loved the location, in the mountains but easy access to all facilities. House was as described, spacious, well equipped and pool area just what was needed in the extremely hot weather. Lots of outside seating areas to choose from. Very peaceful and relaxing.

lovely place
lovely villa - weather didn’t allow us to try the pool, but looked great. Agents were very welcoming, and gave lots of great advice on vicinity. Handy for visiting nearby towns - would particularly recommend Mijas and Malaga.

Really enjoyed our holiday.
Casa Sunflower is only a short journey from the airport , when you arrive at the villa everything is very welcoming well maintained everything you might need (even a tv ) in the lounge . The pool looks very inviting and there's a pretty garden surrounding it . Its so nice to wake up in the morning have breakfast one of the patios to such scenic views , even the man who comes down the mountain daily with his goat herd waves to you . There are some nice places to visit good restaurants and nice walks . Really enjoyed holiday and we will be returning.
This is villa is in a nice quiet estate with very little traffic.
The pool and garden are fantastic place to spend time in sun or shade. The wild surrounds of the villa makes it a good balance between rural and urban with the access and parking the suitably urban side.
The villa itself is very modern and equipped with everything required for self catering and entertainment purposes.
Beautiful house with all the necessary equipment. The view is fantasctic so is the pool. We were there for a full month. The house was cleaned on a regular basis as the pool. Had to communicate with the owner once. The reply came immediately. Would definetely recommend!

Little trip to Andulucia
Family break in Andulucia . Check in a bit concerning as we arrived and no instructions given or codes. Eventually got through to host and a few hours later we gained entry . Not sure who’s responsibility it was to send entry code however it was resolved some time later. Property is very clean well presented and situated close to supermarkets etc. nice balcony and pool area. Fresh orphaned and lemons.
It was a littlest cold in the evenings as we visited in late Feb however with the heating on it was fine.
Lots of interesting places to visit close by, Marbella old town, Rhonda and Competa .
Very enjoyable stay.

Outstanding Holiday
Where can I start ? Two Adults, 3 Kids 7,12,15. The service we received was second to none correspondence with Brian 5* and meet and greet service excellent. Villa is located on a quiet urbanisation with private parking and has its own pool which was great for kids, the villa is very modern and was very clean and spacious, There is a bar/restaurant on urbanisation about 10 min walk very good food .A car is definitely needed to get the most out of the area with plenty of places to visit within 30mins travel. Coin is 5 mins in the car for supermarkets , restaurants , shopping centre , fuel , cinema. If you want a beach
Fuengirola , Benalmadena approx 20 min drive , Mijas Pueblo traditional Spanish village with amazing views over Fuengirola is Absolutely Worth A Visit. Plenty of golf courses in area.
Would Definitely Visit Again

Lovely, spacious villa, spectacular views, everything you need for wonderful, relaxing holidays
"Casa Sunflower" is located in Sierra Gorda, about 30 min. from Málaga airport. It's surrounded by the typical andalusian mountain range with spectacular views (especially when you go or drive up to the highest point). Nearest beaches are Fuengirola and Benalmadena, about 40 min. by car (depends on the route: through the hills or via motorway). Coin is not that touristic and has an original flair. Supermarkets are near (5 min. by car).
We spent two weeks as a family (with three kids, 8, 9 and 11 years old) in Casa Sunflower. The house provides everything you need: a wonderful Pool area (with BBQ possibilities), a well-equipped kitchen, modern technical gadgets, comfortable lounge area, A/C in most rooms (except Pool House), sunloungers, toys for the kids and most of all: it's very clean, tidy and everything is arranged with a love for the house and the people who might spend some of the most important days/weeks of the year here. We felt very welcomed and had a great time. Thanks, Bryan!
Suzan & John were wonderful, many thanks to them, too! ♥

Thank you for such a wonderful review, we are very happy to hear you had a great stay with us.
The house is in a great setting with fantastic views across the countryside. The house was spacious enough for a family of 4 and the outside space was also good with 2 terraces and a nice pool area, again with those great views.
The house was clean and disinfectant was provided by Bryan the host. There is a seperate unit downstairs which we did not have access to. This unit did not have any guests so the outdoor areas were exclusively for our use.
There are however somethings you should be aware of when renting this home.
1) the houses either side of the property both have multiple dogs and on occasion, their barking was an issue. There is obviously nothing Bryan can do about this, but is does disturb the tranquility of the setting.
2) the beds are very uncomfortable. In my opinion the house needs all new mattresses
3) the dishwasher did not work from the day we arrived. We reported this and the property manager came around quickly, but could not repair it. Bryan the host told us he was ordering a new one and he hoped it would arrive early in our 2nd week. It never arrived, so we had to wash up every day of our stay
4) off street parking is available, however the lock on the gate was very temperamental and would not always unlock. Again we reported this, but the property manager could not fix the problem. We parked on the street as we we worried the car would be locked in and we would be unable to get it out. I recommend replacing the lock.
5) the air conditioning is on a timer. This is not a big problem during the day, as you can simply reset the timer if you are in the house. It is however a big issue at night. Electric fans were provided, but with overnight temperatures in the mid to high 20's they were not enough and we needed the air conditioning on overnight. This created 2 problems. Firstly, the AC goes off when the timer ends (2 hours max) so you would wake up really hot and have to get up and reset the timer, before returning to bed. Secondly, when the AC units are on, a bright light at the bottom of each unit is lit and as the unit is directly above the headboard of the bed, this shines directly in your eyes when you are trying to sleep. This coupled with the uncomfortable mattresses, do not help get a good night's sleep.
It is a nice house in a beautiful setting, but these issues did detract somewhat from our enjoyment of our stay

Thank you for your stay Ian, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, we always receive great feedback and positive reviews from all our guests, therefore I am very surprised from some of your feedback. The report of dogs barking, I was staying the villa for the month previous and this was not an issue. This is a very quiet and peaceful area and had you mentioned this during your stay then we could have spoken to my neighbours who would resolve any issue. Thank you for the feedback regarding mattresses, I will have these checked, we have never had any complaints until now so again this does surprise me, the single beds are fitted with firm Spanish style mattresses and the king size is a luxury pocket spring much softer. I understand that you did experience some issues with the gate and using the appliances, myself, agent and plumber visited as soon as you reported any issue even a Sunday call out, in each occasion nothing was found to be faulty. Incoming guests have no problem with these items.
As for the Air Conditioning, for energy efficiency this is set to default to a timer, but this can be overridden at any time. The blue led light can also be switched off using the remote.
All of these items are detailed in our guest guide, including appliance instructions. I am disappointed that you have taken the time to raise these comments in review but not to myself of my agents when you called us out or at the time when they could have been resolved.
I do appreciate however that as we were unable to meet you at the villa to provide our usual welcome and overview because of Covid-19 self-check in requirement, this may have made it more difficult to familiarise yourself with the villa and equipment.
I understand that you were disappointed that we could not extend your check out time, but as I explained we have additional requirements to follow regarding cleaning and time between bookings as defined by WHO. It was just not possible, I hope you made use of the other options I provided, to enjoy the last few hours before your late night flight.

Jolie maison avec belle vue mais avec des manques
Maison agréable avec des + et des - :
Les + : maison principale agréable avec tout le linge fourni,2 chambres,1 sdb. Une terrasse balcon avec belle vue.piscine entretenue.
Les - : manque de vaisselle ( une cafetière classique et une expresso avec percolateur mais pas de tasse, que des mugs qui passent pas dessous,2 verres à vin, pas de parasol ( exposition plein sud pour manger), une belle tv dans la chambre principale mais il a fallu que je réclame la télécommande et câble qui avaient été retirés(on n’a jamais réussi à faire marcher)..dans la pool house 1 chambre 1 sdb : matelas à changer (creusé au milieu), on a jamais réussi a allumer la lumière de la terrasse en bas ou au niveau piscine pour barbecue .Les matelas des transats sont à changer ils sont vraiment très « usés «
Dans l’annonce Abritel France, elle est présentée comme une maison 3 chambres 3 sdb, Si vous avez l’ensemble de la maison il n’y a que deux salles de bain. Enfin de compte si vous louez pour quatre vous avez que la maison principale où il y a deux chambres une salle de bain. Vous payez un supplément si vous voulez la pool House avec une chambre une salle de bain supplémentaire. Ça on ne le sait qu’après. nous avions aussi des voisins qui faisaient de gros travaux le matin dès huit heures, bon là pas de chance!. C’est un quartier en pleine construction.
Résumé : Hôte très agréable et réactif, maison sympathique Avec très belle vue
Mais avec des manques à améliorer, Donc un peu cher pour les prestations.
Mooi en goed uitgerust huis, met een fijn zwembad en een schitterend uitzicht over het landschap. Ideale plek voor het maken van uitstapjes, of voor een heerlijke dag rust aan het zwembad.

Lækkert hus, i fredelige omgivelser, fin pool, det eneste der var træls, var at aircondition slukkede efter 2 timer, og der så blev mega varmt i huset om natten.

Thank for your lovely review, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, apologies for the confusion over the use of air conditioning, there are two functions, timer or close the windows and doors to turn on. manually.
The Villa was very clean modern and comfortably furnished with all the up to date appliances. Very well equipped. Exactly as advertised. It was in a great quiet location with fantastic views.!! Local Supermarket on door step. The local area of Coin is lovely with all amenities and fantastic selection of Restaurants. Also recommend Alhaurin de Torre and Alhaurin de Grande nearby. Great location to easily travel into resorts of Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and slightly further afield Marbella. Recommend highly

Thank you for such a wonderfull review, we are very happy to read and hope to welcome you back again in the future.
We were very lucky to be able to take a much holiday after a winter lock down. We wanted to be away from crowds yet not remote. This location was excellent for us just a short trip fron the Airport, the villa was perfect and everything waa brand new and I am sure some of the paint must have still been wet, we were the first guests of 2021 the owners explained they had spent lockdown decorating, the villa and views were stunning we could not have hoped for more. Located just outside the town of Coin we found some great restaurants with very friendly people, sadly not many customers.
Back at the villa is where we spent most of our time either beside on in the pool as we had great weather (not too hot) and we could walk to the shops and restaurants on the development, Guadalmarket is a must visit, grocery, butcher, fruit shop loads cheap beer and a cake shop wity the biggest cream cakes you have ever seen, and they taste great. So a great holiday, good location and a fantastic villa for a holiday anytime. Highly recommended
Bryan’s villa is simply stunning! You will not be disappointed, everything is on hand to make your stay very comfortable, the kitchen equipment is all of very good standard as is the furniture.
The air con was very welcome during the 35 degree heat in May! The 3 terraces are ideal for any part of the day providing beautiful areas to enjoy dining and a cheeky sangria watching the landscape change.
The villa is located minutes from Coín town, supermarkets and good local restaurants.
The pool is beautiful with fabulous views of the valley and mountain range.
We also hired the pool house which provided a private ‘apartment’ for my parents.
All very clean and highly recommended.
Nice touch of boxes of inflatables and kids toys which our son loved.

Beautiful villa, stunning views
Arrived at casa sunflower on the 11th June 2016, to be greeted by suzan and john who were both extremely nice and welcomed us to the lovely clean villa which was to be our home for a full 14 days. Beautiful views across mountains, oudoor barbecue was great for dining out, pool was fantastic and kept clean by john, lovely gardens and the peace and tranquility was very relaxing. There is a nice Indian restaurant 5 mins away by car and is excellent, ( we went 3 times during our stay) highly recommend staying at casa sunflower if you want a lovely villa with peace and quiet , car hire is needed but in all honesty you really don't need to leave this stunning villa as it has everything you could need to enjoy your stay, we spent many days having barbecues and just lounging round the pool :-) the weather was 42degrees some days and we absolutely enjoyed every minute and was sad to leave and come home to rainy Leeds :-) thank you to suzan and john for your hospitality and also to bryan for allowing us to stay in his lovely villa :-) hope to return in the future.

detached villa in quiet urbanisation
We had a fabulous week of total relaxation in this well equipped villa. The pool area was just perfect and it was hard to drag ourselves away, the surroundings were stunning, and we never tired of looking across the mountains from the garden. Most of the tourist spots were about half an hours drive away, the same for Malaga airport. We've visited many villas over the years, this being our favourite to date, and hope we'll return next year.

Best Choice
I can honestly say this was the best choice of villa for our holiday it was the most perfect holiday ,we enjoyed our stay very much and would definatly return,we would highly recomend to anyone. It was very well presented spotlessley clean and had everything there to make our stay easy and comfortable. The views were amazing the area very peacefull with anything you needed pretty close by ie shops,beaches and fun days out for all the family but u definatly need transport which wasnt a problem as there are plenty of hire companys around . Would like to thank the owners for all their help and kindness and look forward to returning in the future ... 100 % Happy,
