My son and I have just returned from a week away is your amazing villa.
Wow wow wow is what we can say. Totally relaxed now, having your own pool is fantastic, the villa is so clean and home from home. We never cooked but everything is there if you wanted to. It’s literally 2 mins from the beach, promenade and marina, you really will not be disappointed. Thank you again to all the team and Jennifer with all the great info and emails

A lovely family holiday
6 adults and 1 baby, what a wonderful place this was to stay. 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!

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.

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.

Vietimme huhtikuussa 2024 mukavan viikon lasten ja lastenlasten kanssa Villa El Descansossa. Villa oli oikein mukava ja toimiva isolle porukalle ja sijainti loistava ja rauhallinen. Lapset varsinkin nauttivat lämmitetystä uima-altaasta, leluista ja peleistä. Etukäteen sovittu lämmitys maksoi 175€ viikko. Kaikki toimi sovitusti, kiitokset Jenniferille.
