Nicer than in the photos and even bigger than it looks too!
Our favourite area to sit, outside in the shade, was a lovely spot next to the lounge where there is enough seating for at least 10 people. We ate mostly outside, under the thatched roof, on the large dining room table.
We used just one of the many BBQs, the outside kitchen, paid extra for the pool to be heated because the weather had been cool before we got to Marbella.
We were a group of 12 including 2 babies and 2 toddlers and we thought the place was perfect for us.
It's a very short walk to the beach and to a lovely little restaurant on the beach. There's an Aldi a 7 minute walk, (from the villa) or it's a 3 minute drive there and 6 minute drive back!
You can walk 4km along the broadwalk into Marbella but there isn't much else between the villa and the town except a couple of crazily expensive places.
To summarise, it's a really great place to stay for a large family (or a group of 8 adults and 4 kids) who want to self-cater. There's tons of room and everything you could possibly want in a holiday rental!
For us English types, some kind of live English TV would have been good, maybe even Sky Sports to watch in the evening but that's about my only complaint really!
