Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2018 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 28 Aug 2013 #### Beautiful villa and gardens We stayed here for a week with our extended family and the villa, pool and gardens were beautiful. It was easy to book and the owner did provide good service, with lots of information about the local area and transport to and from the airport. The villa is as described in the listing and the location is perfect - a short journey from Malaga airport and all amenities within walking distance. Everything is clean, beautifully decorated and well maintained with everything you need for a great holiday. The bedrooms are lovely, with air conditioning and the bathrooms are clean and modern, with fresh white towels. The kitchen is modern and well equipped - even washing machine and dishwasher, there is also a BBQ on the patio. The pool is lovely and can be gated for safety, with plenty of sunbeds and chairs to relax on the patio area. Our family spent a lot of time here because it was so nice. The town and beautiful marina are minutes walk away, here there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. The town was lovely to walk around and had a great holiday feel. Buses are close by to visit attractions - Aqualand is a great day out. There's also a beach, but we preferred to stay by the pool at the villa. I would highly recommend this villa.

The facilities were brilliant, everything you could possibly need was nearby. We all really loved this villa. We got this last minute and wasn’t disappointed either. Our only criticism, the mattresses on a couple of the beds weren’t the comfiest, and could do with updating. The pool table kept everyone entertained, the ping pong table was another great daytime activity whilst our little one slept. The bbq was used everyday which was a great asset to having this villa! All of the local shops and the main strip leading into Torremolinos were lovely to browse in the evenings and there was a lovely restaurant ‘mirella’ which we visited twice for dinner, definitely recommend this one! The booking through this website was quick and easy, the communication with the owner was great as Jennifer was very quick to reply to any question we had before our stay. Everything once we arrived was as described and was so easy to access, we’ve always been a package holiday group before this but would absolutely do it this was again. We have even considered staying here again for next year! Thankyou to HomeAway and to Jennifer and co, for our lovely holiday! ##### Kirsty A. Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian V. 17 Apr 2019 #### Brilliantly located villa, convenient for restaurants, beach and shops A spacious, well equipped villa with ample room for our 8 adults and 3 children. The pool was beautifully warm and much used during our stay. As the weather was much warmer than forecast, we made use of the barbecue and outdoor eating area every day for breakfast and some suppers. Our party made easy day trips to Malaga, Gibraltar and to Cordoba. Parking near the house was sometimes a bit limited. All in all a very pleasant stay in a lovely villa, convenient for all the things we like to do on our annual family get-together. Thank you very much to Jennifer and Miguel. ##### Ian V. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew S. 18 Mar 2019 #### Lovely villa, perfect location and very reasonably priced. I couldn’t recommend this properly highly enough. We wanted somewhere that was close to the marina, as we enjoy going out for dinner and going for walks to break up the day. The villa was a 2-3 minute walk from the beach and from the very impressive marina. Also about a 5 minute walk away was a Lidl which was ideal for getting the essentials in for the villa. The villa was bigger than I imagined from the pictures and has everything you could ask for. We were really impressed with the range of English TV channels (more than Sky in UK) and the pool table was a nice way to have a bit of fun in the evenings. Again, the pool was bigger than I thought it would be, and at an additional cost, we had it heated for our stay. The heating was very good and was essential really for the time of year we went. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool, comfortable cushions were provided and also beach towels were provided. Lastly, the communication and instructions provided by Jennifer were clear and very helpful with regards to settling in quickly and being able to make the most of our time there. Will definitely be returning to El Descanso soon and would urge anybody considering staying in Benalmedena to book this villa. ##### Matthew S.

Property was very clean and presented as advertised. Great spot for a family holiday. Thank you. ##### anne c. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer H. 3 Dec 2017 #### Excellent in every way! We travelled with our extended family, 4 countries, all meeting up at El Descanso. This was our third visit to one of Jennifers vilas. Jennifer made it all very easy for us, always quick replies to emails and everything was just great. The villa was super clean and had everything we wanted. Lots of space and having the pool heated was great for the little kids. Little things made the difference - comfy beds, cot and high chair for our babies at no charge - even toys and books. Snooker table was a hit with us adults. Beautiful villa and will definitely return! We also took a few nights at El Atico, just 4 of us, to visit Malaga. ##### Jennifer H. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie R. 4 May 2016 #### Beautiful villa, well equipped, brilliant location Spent an amazing week with family and friends at this villa. It ticked all the boxes. Our group consisted of a mixture of ages ranging from 23 - 77., the villa and location accommodated everybody's wants and needs. One of the group had limited mobility and the bedroom with level access shower was a perfect. The heated pool was fabulous too x The aminities within the villa, more than catered for our needs. We ate in a few times and made use of the BBQ. we are currently planning a return trip. Would like to Jennifer and her team for making the booking experience and check in straight forward and hassle free. ##### Jackie R. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deirdre M. 30 Apr 2016 #### Gorgeous Villa near beach and shops! El Descanso is an absolutely gorgeous villa, very spacious with plenty of room for 3 generations of our family and everything you could need for travelling with an infant and a toddler including a box of toys! The pool was lovely and the bbq and outdoor eating area perfect. There were three balconies to catch every single ray of sun! Location was a couple of minutes from beach and supermarkets incl Lidl which is great for bbqing for a large crowd ##### Deirdre M. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon G. 8 Mar 2014 #### Group of ten adults at El Descanso This large villa is clean and well maintained. Very close to the marina and loads of bars and restaurants. Ten of us were accommodated comfortably, but bear in mind that four of the bedrooms are on the lower floor with only one upstairs. This means that you will need to share bathrooms - not a problem for friends. Large outside area with heated pool, very clean. Wifi was seemingly free for our stay, although the blurb says otherwise. Jennifer at costadelsolholiday.com was very helpful, clear communication and no problems whatsoever. Thanks very much for a great stay at El Descanso! ##### Jon G. ---
