The facilities and the scene were perfect.
Paul from United Kingdom (10/10)
Where can I start. It is located in such a beautiful area. The sea views are amazing. The property itself has 3 good bedrooms and two bathrooms , plus a poolside toilet. The pool is well maintained and there are plenty of seats / beds around it. We spent most of our time here.
Kitchen is well equipped. The whole place was spotless. Paul , the owner was so friendly, and available if needed. He even gave us a lift to a restaurant one night. Great Indian , Chinese and other restaurants within 10 min walk. Would definitely return. 🥰🥰Geraldine from Ireland (10/10)
We booked duende villa as a short break for both ourselves and my elderly mother, not to mention we had our Boston terriers in tow. On arrival we were pleasantly suprised at the amazing location. A quiet residential street surrounded by million euro villas.
On entering the villa we were again delighted to find a spacious living area and quite Possibly the best outdoor space you are likely to encounter…views over Marbella and the surrounds as . You have the sun from dawn to dusk but there are enough nooks and cranny’s to find shade if you need it. Paul was an amazing host and was available if anything was needed. On the whole a great stay and would recommend without hesitation👌we will most certainly be backElaine from United Kingdom (9/10)
