Numerous sun terraces with stunning views overlooking the village and sea with an excellent swimming pool(200cm deep (6ft), 450cm wide and 1000cm long). Dining room and 4 bedrooms with aircon. Sleeps 10 persons. Villa has Sky free view TV. & BBC. Free Wifi / Internet. Villa is cleaned before arrival. Linen and towels are provided - two per person, beach towel provided for the sunbeds.

Wonderful week in Villa Lili! Location is perfect, easy enough to walk in to town. Had absolutely everything we needed and more! Really well stocked with everything from pans to suncream. Fully stocked mini fridge on arrival was a fabulous added bonus. Host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Hoping to return again in the future

Overall the villa was lovely, with stunning views, very quiet and felt like a really secure location. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The villa was very comfortable and clean, the onsite washing machine was so handy for the daily washing of swim wear and towels. The downstairs studio was especially good as it offered my son, his partner and their 6 year old daughter their own space while still connected to the rest of the family. The pool was amazing, used all day and every day by the whole family. All correspondence with host was great. Thank you Villa Lili for a fabulous holiday

Wonderful villa

What a great villa for a holiday - everything was superb - lovely pool and facilities - probably not suitable for the eldery/infirm as there are lots of steps up to the main area but once there the views down to the village are stunning- superb setting and thoroughly enjoyed our stay - especially the beer fridge 😄😄👍👍

Perfect family holiday

We stayed with adult children and a couple of friends. The views from the villa are stunning due to being at the top of the hill - we didn’t mind the climb as it made us feel better about all the calories we were consuming! The rooms were lovely and the separate en-suite room below the house was a god send for us (the boys stayed in there) Cala de Mijas is a wonderful town with lots of bars and restaurants and easy to get to Marbella by bus, Malaga a little more difficult. I would definitely recommend this villa to others, perfect for groups of friends, multigenerational family groups etc.

Thank you for your lovely review. My family over the years would agree on the studio being a big plus. Somewhere the older generation can escape for a bit of peace and quite from the younger generation, and for the older teenagers giving them a bit of a feeling of independence.

Perfect family break

A perfect location for a break for our family to get together. 4 great size bedrooms and masses of living space, inside and out. Grounds very well kept and our grandson loved the pool and feeding the fish each day. The pictures on line really don’t do the Villa justice as it’s location and views were spectacular. Whilst it was fine for us, the Villa does have lots of steps and it is a steep walk back up from town so you need to bear that in mind. We would certainly go back. Thank you for a great holiday.

We are delighted to see that you had a lovely family holiday. The Villa really is a home from home where great family memories are made. Thank your grandson for feeding the fish, I hope he got to see the frog that pops up every now and then! Your comments on the steps and the walk back from the village are very well put. Personally we enjoy the walk down hill but now in our late 60's there is no way we walk home. Thankfully there is a good taxi rank in the village to get us home. Taxi fare is around €8. Look forward to welcoming you back again.

Family Christmas

What a great place in a great location. We brought our family together for Christmas at Villa Lilli in Mijas coast-side. Temperatures of 20 degrees in December and January was greatly received, avoiding the chilly Canadian winter. Thanks to our host, a stocked mini-fridge and coffee was available as we arrived. We enjoyed the rooms and guest house with plenty of space. (A fast favorite is the sunroom - relaxing and with a brilliant view of the sea.)We used the villa to visit neighboring sites at Alhambra, Ronda, Ceuta, Gibralter and Malaga -- all within a couple of hours driving. Great mix of nearby restaurants and mercado to pick up food and prepare meals on our own as well.Super result and a vacation with fond memories throughout!

Excellent location, fantastic Villa

We found the Villa very easily, it was up some very steep steps which weren’t a problem for us but could be if someone is less mobile. The Villa was fantastically clean, and well appointed. It is maybe not the most up to date in-terms of furniture but it was fine. What really sets it apart are the views, location and size of the rooms. All bedrooms are en-suite and are a really good size. We had a great time around the pool and cooking on the BBQ. The aircon was useful due to the heat as was the pool. I would highly recommend the Villa and our only issue would be an email we sent to the agent/owner that got bounced back from both email addresses supplied. An update of the email addresses supplied would be good.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la villa lili. On s'y est senti comme chez nous. La piscine est superbe et les chambres/salle de bain egalement. Nous étions 8 adultes et 2 enfants en bas âges. La plage se trouve a 10/15 min à pied (ça monte pour le retour) et les restaurants et supermarché sont encore plus prêt. L'emplacement est idéal (entre Marbella et Malaga). Le village de mijas est calme mais animé.Il y a une belle vue mer sur la terrasse et sur le quartier qui est très joli.Nous recommandons vivement merci Julian

No complaints! Julian was an excellent communicator - always answered any questions quickly. Perfect Villa - everything as listed. Gorgeous view to the sea, clean, huge pool, nice bedrooms and en suites for everyone - great setup. The A/C worked wonderfully - cooled the house quickly after being off all day while we were out and about. Having a washer and dryer was also a great bonus. Perfect little village to base our exploration of the Costa Del Sol. Cala had great restaurants, and a couple of handy markets a few minutes from the Villa. We even enjoyed watching the little pigs come in to town for their midnight raid of the central trash bins! After driving in from Seville, our group spent time visiting Granada, Cordoba, Gibralter, and Estepona as well as the beach at Fuengirola. My daughter lost her eyeglasses in the sea and we were able to get an exam and new glasses in one day at a cost of only 89 Euros! Our favorite restaurants in Cala were Restaurant Ole, Hansik (fabulous South Korean), La Tablita ( amazing steaks and starters!) and La Terrace with delicious Italian at great prices. Would love to return and would most definitely stay at Villa Lilli!

Großes Haus in toller Lage

Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Alle Zimmer haben ein eigenes Bad und das Haus hat viel Platz. Der Pool ist sehr schön und der Ausblick zum Meer ist wirklich toll. Man kann gut zu Fuß ans Meer laufen, mit tollen Strand. Leider gibt es in den oberen Schlafzimmer keine Fliegengitter am Fenster und deswegen waren viele Mücken im Zimmer.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking for a holiday home, we viewed many places. but fell in love with La Cala Village and the spectacular views overlooking the sea. The Villa is just so peaceful and private, but at the same time a short walk takes you into the hub of the activity. The Villa enjoys the sunshine around the pool area from early morning until approx 7.30pm. There are plenty of shaded areas around the villa at different times of the day if it gets too hot, in the evening meander down to the end of the pool and watch the sun go down over the sea, and the village light up. or go quietly around the back of the Villa and view the frog before it spots you and hops into the fish pond. The Village is only a short walk down hill, Restaurante Ole is at the end of the Avenue, guaranteed a big welcome and lovely food at a reasonable price. The taxi rank is situated beside Biddy Mulligans's pub in the center of the village. We had the pleasure of our eldest daughter getting married from the Villa in May 2014 and our other daughter married in April 2017, and having the extended family hang out in the pool the next day. Great fun was had by young and old in "The battle of the cousins" water games. There are numerous steps leading up to the Villa from street, but there are different patios to take a breather.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, but activities a short drive away - Water sports at "the fun beach" in Marbella a 10 min drive away.
Coastal boardwalk from la cala to Calahonda..
playgrounds at the beach and at the other end of the Village
