The owner is just great, attentive, and responds very quickly.
The first day we arrived at the house, I was surprised by the path that leads into the heart of the mountain, but having already driven on mountain roads, I knew it wouldn't be a problem. Just don't drive like crazy, otherwise no problem. Maybe there was a little too much vegetation overhanging the road. The kids and I walked the whole way and broke off anything that stuck out to avoid scratching the vehicle. Otherwise, no worries. Be careful, I think the path can be scary for some drivers, but overall, I assure you, it's nothing complicated. If you know how to drive, I'm assuming that if the locals can do it, why not me?
Arrived there. Everything was spotless and clean, nothing to say, we had a problem with the pool water and the owner did everything to resolve the problem once I informed her and the problem was resolved. I'm just telling you so you understand that the owner is doing what she can to resolve the problem and it was resolved.
She also gave us local biscuits one morning when we woke up. We found them on the terrace table after she came by to clean the pool in the morning. No hassle, we never had it before, so she doesn't bother us at all and lets us know via message the day before her arrival. The place is very quiet, with several places for family walks or alone, which is what we did. You can find XXL lemons and mangoes, as well as grapes.
Our stay overall went very well. We know the area. We had already rented in Campeta, so the main road and surrounding area weren't a surprise to us. Google tells you it's 27 minutes from the nearest beach; I put it 20 minutes. And there's a Lidl and restaurants along the beach, too. There are merchants in the early evening, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when there are more of them.
Torre del Mar and Torremolinos aren't very far from the bottom, so from Algarrobo, it's 9 minutes to Torre, which is very lively, and Torremolinos is further away. But it's also very lively, two tourist spots, and the house allows for peace and quiet, perfectly disconnecting from everyday life. Algarrobo-Costa is quieter and just down the road, perfect for days when you want to stay in peace and quiet.
In summary, we had a very good stay, as we often love Andalusia and the landscapes and people are simply magnificent.
