An amazing stay in a really beautiful location! All went very well and the apartment was truly great and catered for all our needs and then some more! The whole welcome and detailed information sent across was so useful and really assisted over the week we were on the ground there!! Geoffrey and Abigail were always reachable and quick to respond on any queries we had. Many thanks for an awesome stay indeed, if...when we are back in the area, we do hope there is availability on this particular unit, so we can use it again!

Maya's apartment was exactly as expected and more. A couple of small issues with the furniture and a curtain were fixed immediatley by her husband. Maya and John both were very friendly and very helpful. We had a fantastic time at their place and we have nothing but good things to say to say.Thanks Maya.
Condo in Ronda
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 245 reviewsBest views in town. 2 bd apartment in the gorge.
This apartment has the best view in town! The patio was lovely, the apartment well furnished, and spotless. We enjoyed the quirkiness of getting into the apartment (glass walls and door and descend to the apartment). It is in the heart of Ronda but also really quiet. It's perfect for 2 people--4 would have been tight. We would stay here again!
Apartment in Marbella
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsBeautiful Historic Apt w Incredible Balcony & View
Beautiful apartment right in the heart of the old town! Host was very responsive and helpful. Be sure to read the welcome package since it can be a little confusing to find initially but once you’re there, everything is super walkable and convenient with great restaurants, coffee shops, & retail right outside your door! Wonderful views from the upstairs terraces.
Apartment in Torremolinos
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviewsFantastic Views > On the Beach > Best Location !
I booked a beach holiday and I 100% got it! What a fantastic location, spacious apartment (for 2), and any questions are answered quickly by the host. The apartment is so complete, it even offers beach umbrellas. You can go to the beach and just quickly go ‘home’ for lunch, even though there are many affordable places around you can lunch at. The view on Eden Beach Club was entertaining. I was at the apartment just before high season, so their - pleasant - music wasn’t too loud. In high season I have been told it is louder, but they close at 9PM. I definitely recommend this super location. Just know that if you want a good supermarket (Mercadona), you can’t escape the stairs. But hey - don’t we all need a bit of workout throughout the day! 🤪

Villa in Benalmádena
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsNice 3 Bed Villa with Private Pool
Hands down this is the best villa we have stayed in - not just in Spain, but anywhere in the world! Excellent location, high-end finish, well equipped and safe and secure. The villa is in the high-end Higueron complex and opposite the Hilton hotel. The beach is walkable, but up/down a steep hill, so not for less mobile or those with young children. We were able to get to Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Estepona and Marbella easily, and it is only a 15 minute drive to Mijas Pueblo. Ali is proactive, responsive and attentive - he check in and responded to messages promptly. We highly recommend this villa and Ali as a host - we will be back again!
Apartment in La Cala del Moral
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviewsOcean Views for a relaxing vacation
Our stay at this home was simply spectacular. The ocean views are stunning, worthy of a postcard. In addition, the host service was exceptional. From the first contact they were very friendly and were always available for any queries and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay to the fullest. I highly recommend this place without hesitation, both for its privileged location and for the warm and professional treatment of the hosts
Condo in Torremolinos
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsNew apartment city center pool garage
Fran welcomed us even though we were early arriving. He took the time to show us through the apartment and make sure we knew how everything worked. Dominique needed to arrange a bit of maintenance on the shower and was very accommodating arranging installers to fit around our schedule. Luxurious accommodation, has everything you need to make you feel right at home. Beds are super comfy. Fantastic outdoor space which captures the sun and wonderful to relax in. Convenient access to supermarket and train station short walk so great for travelling to Málaga or the airport. Would highly recommend Dominiques place. If we ever get the chance to return to Torremolinos we wouldn't hesitate to rebook.
Apartment in Sitio de Calahonda
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsVista Royal (new for rent)
The apartment was very beautiful. You could find everything you needed there, and a little more. Wonderfully peaceful and quiet area. Wout and Fleur were very friendly and flexible with check-in as well. Definitely a vacation spot worth the price
Bungalow in Benalmádena
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviewsFantastic Villa with breathtaking views
The house was great with easy access to Benalmadena. We did 9 days. It is near the Pueblo which you can walk to in short time (less than half hour stroll) and there are restaurants and supermarkets near by. The pueblo is very beautiful Spanish village with nice restaurants. The team were really good and Ricardo there to help out with anything with house. The views from here are probably some of the best in the area. Very comfortable property with African vibes, very chilled. Driveway is quite steep but easy enough. Small car would be easy, large suv more tricky but could park on road if needed at top of drive. Marina is about 15 mins drive and is really great area with lots to do. Beds are super comfy. Lots of wardrobe space. Amazing that you can pick your own fruit from the trees in garden. We got a massage while at Villa which made it an incredible experience. Details are available for these services when arrive. Thanks for a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay in Veronica and Nicholas' Alora home which had plenty of room for our group of eight (two families). We cooked family meals, ate together around the dining room table, spent time on the terrace with amazing views, wandered the beautiful town, walked the countryside, and hiked the Caminito del Rey. Veronica was very helpful with information, clear instructions, and quick communication. We were particularly appreciative of the flexibility on the day we checked out. Thank you very much!

Apartment in Benalmádena
5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsApartment near Torrequebrada beach
Benalmadena one of the best places I visited in my life and I already visited 30+ countries. Especially great Benalmadena felt thanks to Florencia with her extreme kindness and awesome apartment, located near the beach, big Mercadona (supermarket), bus stop with direct buses to Torremolinos/Malaga, and even very fancy playground for kids. The apartment itself has everything required for stay of any duration and has enough space for family of 4. Highly recommended and maybe I will return here again by myself :)

Your guide to Marbella
Welcome to Marbella
Marbella embodies the essence of Spain’s renowned Costa del Sol, with 17 miles of shoreline luring sunseekers to its azure Mediterranean waters, as it boasts 320 days of sunshine a year. The sea is a way of life here, with four marinas, including the popular Puerto Banús. But there are just as many treasures on land, all doused with Andalusian flavors, represented in its whitewashed architecture and orange trees aplenty: It’s no wonder that the historic area is anchored by Plaza de Los Naranjos, or Orange Square, dating from the Renaissance era. Also within the winding streets of Old Town, which sits in the Sierra Blanca’s foothills, are preserved sections of Islamic walls and towers that formed the ninth-century Arab fortress. But above all, Marbella just has that sense of elevated living, drawing celebrities, culture seekers, and beach lovers alike.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Marbella
Of course everyone wants to be at the Spanish Mediterranean destination in the summer when the beach weather is idyllic, but that also makes May through August the busiest period, with higher prices and heavier crowds. April, September, and November may feel more manageable and the water temperatures are still suitable for a swim. The winter temperatures dip low enough that it’s simply too cold to get into the water, but the land temperatures remain moderate enough for exploration by day. The major annual festivals include the Marbella Carnival in February, Festivities of San Bernabé in June, Virgen del Carmen in July, and San Pedro Alántara Fair in October.
Top things to do in Marbella
Beaches
The famous blue waters of the Spanish Mediterranean draw visitors to the golden sands — and with two dozen beaches lined along the city’s southern coast, there’s no shortage of choices. Artola-Cabopino Beach within the Dunas de Artola nature preserve offers a relaxed landscape among the dunes, while Playa de la Bajadilla, Playa de Rio Real, and Playa de Venus are closer to the action in the city center.
Marbella Old Town
Wander the charming streets of the historic city center, where ruins of the area’s Roman, Arabic, and Christian pasts are all preserved. Highlights include the Arabic Castel’s ruins, the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation, and Orange Square. Also make sure to wander down Avenida del Mar, which has fountains, gardens, pergolas, and 10 sculptures by Salvador Dalí along its route.
Museum of Contemporary Spanish Engraving
Housed inside the 16th-century Renaissance-style former Bazán Hospital, the museum’s collection of more than 4,000 prints includes works by all the Spanish masters.
