Fabulous stay - golf, walking and relaxing
Holiday with a group of old friends and this was one of the best villas we've ever stayed at. Lots of space, comfortable beds, en-suite in rooms, pool, hot tub, pool table, rugby world cup on TV - absolutely everything we needed and more. Great communication with owner and Alan on site - all very reassuring. Lovely 5 -10 minute walk into the village for a drink and provisions, larger supermarkets nearby. We loved it and would be delighted to return if we could!

Fantastic villa
Hi Gemma and Stuart, just a quick note to say thank you so much for allowing us into your beautiful home! It really is home from home! And exactly what we viewed online! It was very well equipped with everything and just perfect for our group of 9 adults and 4 kids. We had a few small issues re the electrics and air con which Alan attended to and resolved ASAP. A quick text and he responded asap! He was so attentive to all our needs and had plenty of recommendations for us re bars/eating etc. Overall I couldn’t recommend the villa/location enough. We will certainly hope to come back again in the near future! Many thanks

Had a great time at the villa. A few points to consider for next time. Aircon could do with some more regular maintenance in lower apartment problem solved quickly, had cockroach problem in lower appartment but not sure what extra could be done. Overall had a brilliant time at the villa. Alan the contact manager was so helpful with all our enquiries/issues

Hi Joe , I’m sorry that you thought seeing 1 cockroach is a problem, but unfortunately in hot countries you can see an odd insect no matter how clean the place is ,It was one cockroach, which is not really a problem, especially when front door is left open .we are sorry than the air con unit was dripping , but again soon as it was reported an engineer was out the next day , and gets serviced every year. Unfortunately problems happen but we dealt with them as quickly as possible , many thanks for your feedback .

Casa Lola
We stayed in Casa Lola for a week while we got married. We had a party of 14 and the villa had sufficient space that all 14 of us were comfortable in our stay with plenty to keep us all entertained. The villa is stunning, the hosts were extremely helpful and accomodating, nothing was too much effort. The location is great being close to the airport, local shops, bars restaurants and the centre of Benalmadena and beach a 10 minute drive away. I would recommend the villa to anybody looking to visit the area, we will be coming back for sure. Thanks so much for having us Gemma, Stuart and Alan. 5*'s from us.

What a fantastic property and location. The facilities are great had everything that we needed and more that meant we were able to travel lighter than normal. Pool area was set up perfectly with the safety aspects ideal for those with smaller children. Short walk to the village where there are plenty restaurants is also ideal. We will definitely look to use the property again in the future.

Family holiday
Beautiful villa in a beautiful location. A short walk into benelmadena old town which has so much character and charm. Bus stop just a few minutes walk takes you anywhere else you might want to go. Supermarket within easy walking distance. The whole family loved it - chilling at the pool or in the hot tub in the evening or sitting around chatting looking out over the stunning views. Something for all ages in this villa and the surrounding area.

Grandma's 60th birthday
The hole family, 8 adults + 7 kids had 2 fantastic weeks, June 2022, at Gemma's house. House was as expected. Spacious, good beds, well and fully equipped, fantastic pool area, walking distance to pueblo, outside activity area for kids in all ages + grandpa, etc, etc. And a fantastic view "to Africa". And if we needed som assistance or any questions, Alan was there in minutes. Excellent service. We just loved the house. Thanks from all of us. If we in the future plan to do a trip like this one more time, we will call Gemma. For sure. Thanks again for an unforgettable holyday from Janne and Bjarte and the rest of the family.

Sehr schöne Villa
Uns hat der Aufenthalt hier sehr gefallen. Die Mastersuite war wirklich sehr schön und geräumig. Die anderen 4 Zimmer dafür relativ klein. Ansonsten ist das Haus großartig ausgestattet mit sehr schöner Sitzmöglichkeit für 10 Personen draußen am Pool. Der Check in lief reibungslos. Vielen Dank an Alan, der jederzeit für uns erreichbar war.

All rooms are a good size as they have their own en-suite, wardrobes and beds, we have made it like this so all guests don’t have to share any bathrooms. Meaning not all the rooms will be grand like the master suite. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you in the future.

Gem in Benalmadena
Great villa, great views, great location - very close and in walking distance to the beautiful Pueblo with great restaurants (Tip: La Perla), there is a butterfly park within 5 minutes an ALDI in 10 minutes of walking distance. With a car you are quickly in Málaga, Gibraltar, Marbella, ... great location. Great BBQ, actually best I had in a rental so far :) close to the pool, big fridges in the pool house with separate kitchen & even better ones in the luxurious main kitchen. We enjoyed the pool table & the table tennis on premise. Alan was caring, amazingly quick to react and to help us with our issues. Pool Heating worked like a charme - our kids spent hours inside the pool (up to 31° celcius). Plenty of space for 3 families and we could have accommodated a 4th in the apartment. Large TVs with up to date technology in the whole house (even outside). Small Cons: - Kids missed the trampoline shown on one of the pictures - minor issues with aircon / heating / stable warm water in some rooms, most probably just needs maintenance, but it was sunny and Alan provided an electric heating instantly so we did not have a problem. If you have us we will return :)

Wunderschöne Ferien in Benalmádena
Das Haus bietet einen wunderschönen Ausblick! Unser Highlight war auf alle Fälle der geheizte Pool und die Aussenküche mit dem Sitzplatz. Eine kleine Kritik gibt es jedoch, die Kaffee Maschine wurde die ganze Woche nicht repariert! Aber sonst ist Alan extrem Hilfsbereit und hat zu unserem Wohle geschaut!

Hi Nicole thanks for your feedback, unfortunately with it being a built in coffee machine it can’t be fixed on site, and only 6 weeks ago was taken away and repaired but the process is time consuming and getting an engineer out is difficult within a week, however we did provide a filter coffee machine in the kitchen to use so there was an alternative, having a broken machine is not ideal but we are finding another solution to prevent this happening again, I’m glad you loved the villa. Hope to see you again next season.
