There were seven in our party at the villa. Two adults in the upstairs room, one adult in the double room downstairs and three young adults in the two twin rooms downstairs. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well equipped. Also, there were extra items in the villa such as tea, coffee, cleaning items and condiments. The villa is clean and spacious. Two of the rooms are en-suite with showers and there is a separte shower and toilet for the other two rooms.

There was a good tv and plenty of books. The pool was worth having heated.

There is a supermarket close by up the hill and a very busy market on Saturdays. There are also some eateries close by.

The property is close to a fast food restaurant which was having screens put up when we were there - this isn't a bother as such but not a great view - on the plus side the food there was very good! Also, local building meant a tower crane was in close view from the terrace. This will obviously be temporary and doesn't reflect on the quality of the accommodation. The only other thing to be aware of is that it is a good walk into town (10 - 15 mins) and goes down and then up a hill - a bit steep coming back, and also through an underpass with a narrow pavement. Taxis are plentiful however if you dont fancy the walk back up.

The villa was private and away from the main centre, we had no problems with other residents and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The owner also kindly accommodated us earlier in the week than usual due to our flight costs which was greatly appreciated.

I would recommend the villa for a peaceful getaway with the charming port nearby. Marbella can be accessed via the ferry, taxi or driving. We walked it twice but it took a while!! Not sure about buses. The owners had great communication and responded quickly to our emails. A lovely week which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
