★★★★★
“We paid for pool heating in early May and it was worth every euro — the kids swam every day while we sat on the covered terrace. The walk to the boulevard is fifteen minutes as described, with a playground stop halfway that our youngest insisted on both directions.”
★★★★★
“We ate breakfast on the roof every morning and barely used the restaurants downstairs at lunch. The jacuzzi was warm by the time we got up. Two minutes to the marina is not an exaggeration — we timed it.”
★★★★★
“We stayed in April when it was too cool to swim in the sea, and the glazed terrace earned its keep — breakfast facing the water every morning with the glass closed against the wind. Elviria's beach walk towards Nikki Beach is beautiful and almost empty at that time of year.”
★★★★★
“We were three families and the house swallowed us easily. The walk down to the beach with kids was genuinely five minutes. María from Stayzia checked us in and sorted a paella chef for our last night — best meal of the trip.”
★★★★★
“Four of us played Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha across the week and walked to the first of those. The garage took both hire cars and all the clubs. House was spotless and the pool heating was actually warm, not lukewarm.”
★★★★★
“We came for a long weekend without a car and it was exactly right. Coffee on the roof terrace every morning, dinner a different direction every night without walking more than five minutes. The bed in the back room is genuinely silent.”
★★★★★
“November was a lovely time to be in the Old Town — warm afternoons, quiet evenings, oranges on the trees. The apartment is warmer and better lit than most old-building rentals we've tried in Spain. The roof terrace got sun until four.”
★★★★★
“We came as two families with four kids between us. The walled garden meant we could actually sit down, and the twin room downstairs was ideal for my parents. Centro Plaza covered all the shopping in one stop.”
★★★★★
“Spacious, spotless and very well organised — the check-in was the smoothest we've had in Spain. One honest note: in late October the pool was too cold for us without the heating, so budget the €50/day if you're set on swimming. The house itself was warm and comfortable.”
★★★★★
“Booked for a golf week in October. Pool was warm, the garden gets sun all day, and having three cars off the street mattered to us. Communication on WhatsApp was instant, every time.”
★★★★★
“The listing is honest, which I appreciated — yes you hear the lane until late, but with the shutters closed in the back bedrooms we slept fine. The kitchen is better equipped than our one at home. Eight minutes to the beach is accurate, I timed it.”
★★★★★
“Our third year in Elviria but first time in this apartment, and it's the best located one we've had. I slept on the sofa bed for two nights when my mother visited and it was honestly fine — a real mattress, not the usual bar-in-your-back thing.”
★★★★★
“Came for a long weekend with two other couples. Walked everywhere, never took the car out of the garage after day one. The bedrooms on the back are properly quiet even on Saturday night, which surprised us.”
★★★★★
“The photos undersell the outdoor kitchen. We barely ate inside all week. Only note: bring pool shoes for the walk to the beach in August, the pavement gets hot.”
★★★★★
“Two families, four kids between four and eleven, and we barely left the garden for the first three days. The play area and table tennis did most of the childcare. San Pedro itself was a pleasant surprise — proper Spanish town, great tapas, half the prices of Puerto Banús ten minutes away.”
★★★★★
“With two kids under six, the gate onto the promenade changed everything — no car seats, no bags, just out the door and onto the sand. We did the trip to the beach four times a day without thinking about it. The sand toys in the cupboard were a nice touch.”
★★★★★
“The terrace is the best outdoor space we have had in Spain, full stop. Late July you do hear the port until 2 or 3am with the terrace doors open — closed, nothing. Knock that hour off and it would be five stars.”
★★★★★
“Excellent apartment, exactly as described, and the underground parking was genuinely useful in July. Only niggle: the communal pool gets busy with residents on August weekends — but then the sea is sixty seconds away, so we mostly used that.”
★★★★★
“A beautiful apartment in the best location in Marbella. One small thing: the stairs are steep with luggage and there is no lift, so pack light. Everything else — the linen, the air conditioning, the check-in — was faultless.”
★★★★★
“July and the street was completely quiet — we heard sprinklers in the morning and nothing else. Ten minutes to Puerto Banús for dinner, then back to silence. The mountain view from the pool is better than the photos.”
★★★★★
“Beautiful, spotless, and the beds are excellent. The fifth bedroom is smaller than the others, which is the only reason for four stars — fine for the teenagers though.”
★★★★★
“Alquilamos la casa para una reunión familiar de tres generaciones y funcionó perfectamente — el dormitorio de la planta baja fue clave para mis padres. El jardín es aún más grande de lo que parece en las fotos. Volveremos.”
★★★★★
“Llevé a mis padres y a mi hermana. El ascensor hasta la puerta y el aparcamiento en el sótano lo hicieron todo fácil. La terraza al atardecer, con el puerto encendiéndose abajo, es lo que recordamos.”
★★★★★
“Excellent house, beds and showers all first class. One small thing: the third bedroom faces the street and gets early sun, so the blackout blind matters — close it. Everything else faultless.”
