About this property

HOME FROM HOME, EASY WALKING DISTANCE TO BARS, RESTAURANTS, SHOPS & THE BEACH.

WE STILL HAVE SOME JULY AND AUGUST 2024 AVAILIBILTY, BOOK SOON TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT.

A magnificent private detached villa with a south facing orientation in the lower part of Calahonda, near to the Norwegian church, in a very safe and quiet area both by day and night. Conveniently located right on the coast between Fuengirola and Marbella, Calahonda is normally only thirty minutes drive from Malaga airport. Our villa is in a well established urbanisation / community, and many of these properties now have their own small pools. Luckily for us, this leaves us with a beautiful, safe, well maintained and under used12 metre swimming pool in the large garden, which is shared by a small number of properties. The pool area is easily accessible through our garden gate, and is less than 20 metres away from our villa. It is not unusual that you have "exclusive" use of the pool even in the high season!
The villa has a private garden with a south facing terrace that overlooks directly onto the pool, and is ideal for sunbathing, barbecues and al fresco dining. The terraced garden is accessed from the patio doors of the living room, the master bedroom and kitchen. The property is on three levels, the lower level is the terrace and large living room and the middle level is the contemporary dining room with its own doors leading out to the small west facing terrace and the fully equipped modern kitchen The three large bedrooms are on the upper level. Access to the property is from the road via the carport, access to the villa is down a flight of exterior steps to the entrance door and terrace area. Hence we do not recommend the villa as suitable for elderly, disabled and wheelchair users.
A rental car is not essential, but is recommended. However there are regular buses to Fuengirola and Marbella on the main A7 road every half hour, early till late.
Numerous restaurants, bars, minimarkets, supermarkets, shops, banks, pharmacy, medical centre, dentist, gym, car hire, tennis courts and the Calahonda golf course are all within a 5 or 10 minutes walk from the villa.
It takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the beautiful Luna Beach, of Calahonda.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beautiful marina at Cabapino.
It normally takes about 15 minutes to drive to Marbella.
It normally takes about 20 minutes to drive to Puerto Banús.
It normally takes around 2 hours to drive to the Sierra Nevada, ski resort.
It normally takes around 2 hours to drive to either Seville or Granada.
It normally takes around 90 minutes to drive along the coast to Gibraltar.
It also normally takes around 90 minutes to drive inland to Ronda and almost the same to the Caminito del Rey, to walk the famous gorge at El Choro.

Comfortable property with a pretty terrace.
The property is in a convenient location, walking distance to shops, restaurants & beach…downhill going uphill coming back! For golfers there is a nine hole golf course just up the road with a lovely club house with great sea views and a good restaurant. There are courses nearby;La Cala & Cabopino were both excellent The house is well equipped with comfortable beds and a pleasant lounge area. There is a great fridge in the kitchen with the bonus of an ice maker. Outside there is a pretty terrace which is south facing where you can enjoy the sunshine even in February. Our thanks to Angela & her husband who were so helpful and on hand if we needed anything. Superb hosts Phil & Martime whose communication was second to none.

Beautiful home
We loved our stay. Perfect for 2 couples and felt like we had a private pool almost everyday. Everything was explained before and checkin was perfect. It is obviously a much loved home and had everything we needed including great air con, comfy beds and filtered water, perfect for the very hot days. Angela was super helpful when we had a problem with the alarm. It was a little further away from bars and restaurants than we thought however, the walk was easy and taxis and buses really easy to get to. It’s near to many of the famous resorts. We loved Mijas and a fab restaurant called el oceana, both recommended by the owner It really had the wow factor and would return. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home

Perfect stay
Phill and Martine were very helpful from the moment we booked to leaving the villa,Angela was also helpful when we needed to contact her. The villa had everything that you need and even small things in the kitchen were available which saved us money from buying There are also cool boxes for the beach and umbrellas which are a godsend in August The pool is excellent and although shared this was often empty or not busy. Looking forward to coming again Thanks Phill -Martine-Angela and John

Home from home!
We loved our stay at Phill & Martine's beautiful stunning homely villa! We cannot fault anything at all! It was our 1st holiday abroad since Covid struck & having stayed in the same area exactly 3 years ago we wanted a familiar holiday, the place we stayed last time wasn't coming up so we opted to stay here, & my goodness we were so happy we stumbled across this villa! & we will definitely be coming back! The villa is just perfect, very comfortable, peaceful & extremely private. We came at Christmas & New Year time for 12 nights, we were so lucky with the weather which was a bonus. The villa is fully equipped with everything you need at home, including a good washing machine & the fridge was amazing with filtered water & ice on tap & there is a beautiful lemon tree (which we "borrowed" a fresh lemon for our homemade sangria 😉) the bed is so comfortable, the TV has good channels & the sofas are very comfortable, the shower very powerful. It is about a 10 mins walk from a good bar & a string of restaurants, 5 mins drive to the supermarkets & close to nice tourist & local spots in the car but I believe the bus is good too. The "boardwalk" is about a 20 minutes walk to where if you like walking is stunning along the coast with good bars & restaurants along the way, bit of a hill back up "home" but plenty of places to have a rest on the way back up! (I'm just recovering from a back injury & learning to walk again properly & it was fine for me plus there's a good friendly pub at the top of the hill to look forward to! Haha) We would recommend here for a good night out, pool tables, sport on TV & very friendly (we spent our New Years Eve night, we felt like locals!) plus the Italian restaurant called Pepperoni was so good! Finally we would like to say a big thank you to Martine & Phill, they were excellent hosts from the start of our booking to the end when we got home, they helped with everything that we asked of them & we highly recommend this property & we will definitely be back when we visit the area again 😊

Exceptional Villa, in a fantastic location
Quite simply the best Villa we have stayed in. Phil and Martine have thought of everything to make sure you have a great holiday with all the comforts of home in a luxuriously appointed villa. They went out of their way to make sure we knew everything we needed to have a lovely time. Wonderful garden and terrace with a superb, large, seldom used, swimming pool through a gate at the bottom of the garden. Very safe and secure. Location is excellent, lovely and quiet, yet a 5 minute stroll from bars and restaurants and just a 5 minute drive to the commercial centres with excellent supermarkets. Lots to do close by and only 15-20 minutes drive from Marbella and the delights of the old town. We loved it and cant' wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Martine and Phill

Host profile image
We are a retired respectful professional couple living in West Yorkshire, in the UK.
We have previously enjoyed many holidays in Spain over the years and we had purchased a large apartment in Guadalmina (Marbella) as a base, back in 1999.
Now having enjoyed the Costa del Sol for nearly 18 years we decided to move on and we purchased our delightful detached private family holiday villa in Calahonda in 2016.
Formally Phill owned his own motor trade business in East Yorkshire for many years, and Martine who was born and raised in Hong Kong, was a pharmacist in the Mirfield and Wakefield area all her working life.

Why they chose this property

We really feel totally at home in Calahonda now, we enjoy having professional respectful neighbours and having now got to know the area so well, and having made so many new friends here, it's great.
We just love the villa's tranquil location with so many near by excellent restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, banks, pharmacy's and beautiful beaches and all within easy walking distance.
The close by, the newly built Senda Litoral (coastal boardwalk) stretches from La Cala in the East all the way to Cabopino Marina in the West. A very easy and pleasant walk with wonderful views of the beaches, with many bars and restaurants along the way!
Calahonda is an excellent base from which to visit other areas of Southern Spain and Portugal and with excellent air, road and rail links.
Calahonda is also a very safe area with 24 hour on site security personal based at the big roundabout at the bottom of the Avda de Espana.

What makes this property unique

But the really big plus to our villa making it "exceptional" is the beautiful large south facing sunny terrace with it's alfresco dining, plenty of comfy outside rattan furniture sunbeds, electric awning and parasols, oh bliss!!
There's more, the fabulous and little used 12 metre pool is just through our garden gate, and is overlooked directly from our garden terrace, amazing!!
Our garden terrace is a mass of colour almost year round, with purple bougainvillea, birds of paradise, red hibiscus, white jasmine, lots of geranium's, several palm trees lots of fruit and nut trees. Beat that Monty Don!!
