The cities of Malaga and Granada will provide a most pleasant and rewarding day out, as well as Marbella, Puerto Banus, Torremolinos and Fuegirola.

The Sierra Nevada Ski resort is two hours away, this is a fantastic day out during the winter period. You can spend the day skiing, and many other snow sports. There are restaurants and shops in the snow covered village and cabin lifts which will take you up the skiing areas, even if you do not ski the sights will be unforgettable. You can then return to the warmth of the coast on your way home and watch the sunset from outside a beach restaurant.

there are some highly recommended restaurants in the villages.

This unspoilt part of the coast is a firm favourite with residents and visitors.

Other activities to be found locally are mountain biking, horse riding, bird watching and hiking.

Lækkert hus i rolige omgivelser

Rigtig godt hus med et stort poolområde. Huset levede fuldstændig op til forventningerne. Der var god aircondition, fint stort køkken og fine værelser. Der ligger 2 gode restauranter og et supermarked i gåafstand fra huset men man skal være opmærksom på at huset ligger ude i bjergene og derfor ikke tæt på byområderne langs kysten. Lokationen var svær at finde. Vi brugte det vedhæftede link men blev ikke ledt op til huset. Vi kørte rundt et stykke tid og måtte have hjælp af lokale til at finde huset. Måske en ide at vedhæfte et kort med præcis angivelse af husets placering i intromateriale. Alt i alt en dejlig oplevelse og et super godt hus.

Lovely peaceful, relaxing villa

We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children. This property was wonderful, A well appointed kitchen and amazing views out over the valley. The outdoor area is lovely with plenty of choice for seating areas and a great pool. We used the BBQ several times and the undercover table was where we spent most of our evenings. A car is essential. We used this villa as a base to visit Granada, Malaga, and much more. We had a great holiday here and every morning as I stepped out the door of the villa the view took my breath away, some fantastic sunsets were viewed from the roof top villa. We all loved Villa Francis.

LOVELY VILLA IN GREAT LOCATION

This is the second time we have stayed at Villa Frances, we have stayed at three other villas in the area and to be honest none compare. It feels like your own home in the sun. The pool is outstanding and the kitchen is fantastic. If you want peace and quiet this is for you, you are also only a short drive from the beach and shops. Well worth a try. Will definitely be returning x

"Villa Fantastic"

Our fourth year to this fantastic villa. It really is all you could wish for. It takes my breath away on arrival. It's always spotless, and so spacious and well equipped. The pool and terrace are all the website describe. To sit on the terrace at night with a Bacardi and coke and see the lights twinkling from the mountains is sheer heaven. The peace and quiet is unbelievable. A 10 minute walk takes you down to the local village, which has shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa to everyone. My idea of a piece of heaven on earth. Already booking for next year!! Jan T Swansea

Stunning

This villa is absolutely beautiful with everything you could possible want and more.IT was spotlessly clean inside and out I have never seen a pool glistening like this one we couldn't wait to jump in. There was lots of things for the children to play with inflatables for the pool water volleyball set to playstation2,draughts and even cards. The villa is very spacious with a huge kitchen fitted out to a very high standard. The perfect place to stay for a very relaxing holiday with just a short walk to some English shops and bars. we found the location of the villa easy the hypermarket was easy to find with a nice walks along the front. I would definitely recommend this villa to my family and friends.

Amazing villa

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the villa it was like home away from home everything you could possible need for a perfect holiday.It was my first time at the villa and my first holiday with my 2 year old daughter was a bit wary of the pool, but found the pool area was very child friendly with none slip tiles also we could leave the front door open safe in the knowledge that she could not get access to the pool or the road as everything was gated off. the villa was very clean and well maintained. I did find the information folder left by the owner very useful and I did go to some of the places recommended and found them excellent and good value. The villa location was perfect nice and quiet with English shops and bars within walking distance and just a short drive to the beach.would I recommend this villa to friends and relatives most defiantly, my only regret not booking for two weeks.

Superb Luxury Villa Francis ! Highly recommend!!

If you book this villa you will be well looked after as the owner was always available for guidance and advice and even arranged some milk and tea/coffee for us when we arrived late at night. The villa has everything you need and more ( space and well equipped) Weather was fab at the end of May ( 25 C) and pool warm enough. It was the most relaxing holiday we have ever been as if u choose u wont see a soul for days ( total privacy) and yet only 5 min car drive is bars and lovely Spanish social life. We also had lovely walk on the promenade at Torre de mar with 3 course and drink for 8 euros is a bargain !!! Overall highly recommend this beautiful villa and cant wait to go back !!!
