Villas Altos de Marbella.

I regret to say that our stay at this villa was nothing short of a nightmare. The property was in an appalling state of cleanliness. The bedsheets were stained with what appeared to be blood and other unspeakable filth. Ants were everywhere, and the kitchen was devoid of usable utensils, with the few provided being filthy. To make matters worse, there were cameras placed in the living room and on the stairs, which felt invasive and uncomfortable. The pool was also in a deplorable condition; despite our multiple requests, it was never cleaned, and the filter was most likely broken with no action taken to fix it. The air conditioning was a mess as well, with no way to adjust the temperature, and again, no effort was made to address the issue. As if these problems weren't enough, upon our departure, the management tried to withhold our deposit, falsely claiming we had broken furniture when it was already damaged. I strongly advise against staying here. It was a dreadful experience from start to finish, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

We had two villas both were clean however lots of ants, and were in need of a little updating. I agree with previous review regarding kitchen & Pool, firstly the kitchen you get a small welcome pack, contains 1 dishwasher tablet & 1 washing machine tablet, cloth and sponge. One villa had a kettle which didn’t work & the other didn’t have one at all, no oven trays, oven dishes or tea towels. We were only there a few days so not much of a problem. ||We bought hand soap & various other items however we had to bin everything as €150 charge it bin not emptied. Didn’t want to risk a charge of anything getting left, so booze coffee jam butter all in bin.||The pool was nice but lots of tiles missing needs attention as dangerous, lots of flies as villa beside the main bins. ||Great views beds comfortable & rooms spacious. Beware of €150 late check in charge & €150 late check out charge. ||Taxi needed if going to Puerto Banus, but you can walk into Marbella old town & beach takes about 30mins.

Absolutely beautiful villa, ideal for a large family or extended family stay, but not really suitable for those with todders or very young children, due to the layout and choice of finishes. The pool is nice, but it is small and not heated. We visited in early May, so maybe it is better when the weather gets hotter in June/July/August. We had some issues with hot water for showers in the upstairs rooms, due to thermostat settings allegedly, which were eventually sorted after a couple of days and calls to the agent. Not great wifi in the building, so you might want to bring your own dongle/mobile hotspot if you plan on watching Netflicks or streaming TV in the evening. Make sure to do a household products shop at the nearby Supermercado, or bring your own necessityies (tea-towel, washing liquid, scouring pad/sponge, dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls, soap etc.). Driveway at the side of the villa is good, with an electric gate, and there is on-street spots in front of the building for those with multiple cars. The Bus Station is only a short walk away, but I wouldn't fancy doing it with suitcases, so if using public transport (good links), you might want to finish the arrival journey in a local taxi.

Lovely villa with amazing views. Bedrooms very good sizes, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has the bare essentials, really set up for people who eat out. The agent was very helpful and bought us anything we asked for. He even told the neighbours off when they made too much noise. Easy walk to the beach and the supermarket is really close. Lots of buses near by or taxis only costs €8=10 from the centre of Marbella. A lovely place to spend time with friends or family.

Lovely large villa suitable for a family! Me and my partner had the whole place to ourselves. Any questions I had I was responded to straight away. Would definitely rebook, thank you again for a fantastic holiday 🙂

Beautiful property, very spacious with a nice pool. Large supermarket (shut on a Sunday) 5 minutes walk that sold everything. Bus stop outside that took you down to Marbella Old Town and Beach. Our host Jose was very helpful and on hand if required.

We were a group of seven girls, who stayed here for five nights. We left a €800 deposit and cleaned the villa before we left, however, during our stay we only had 4 sub loungers despite requesting more and found that the garden chairs were broken. On the day of our departure, our host went through the house and straight to the plastic garden chairs, after a very quick inspection he has, what happened to the chairs, I replied they were broken before we got here, he gave a sigh and refunded my deposit. I believe that had our party been younger or left the villa less clean, the host would have tried to charge us for the broken chairs from our deposit. There were other things that we had noticed were broken in the villa, such as lampshades and fridge trays but we did not discuss this with the host, neither did he make this an issue. On the day of our arrival when using the unsuite shower there would be an awful drain stench when we flushed the toilet. The host did send an engineer out to explore this but nothing came of it as the smell left very quickly. In general, the villa is a great size, the property was surface cleaned but definitely needed a deep clean. There were ants on the floor of most bedrooms and we were provided with very small bath towels - one each. There weren't any tea towels provided and we believe that the toilet rolls left were from the previous people that had stayed as we also left about a rolls of toilet paper. The sheets had a musty smell to them, I'm unsure whether they had been washed or beds had just been made after the previous stay? The villa is a bit dated but the space is great. Altough the villa is situated closely to other villas and apartments there is a heightened sense of privacy with the high fences. We did not use the basement room as there were not 10 of us, but it was very dark and uninviting. The other rooms were fine, but basic. The sofas in the main living room aren't very comfortable but the dining table was great. There are no trays to cook in the other and very limted kicthen utensils/ pots, but more than enough cutlery. The villa is located less than a 10 minute walk from Mecadona supermarket. It is ideal if you need to buy essentials and make meals. We stayed during low season and between 7 people paid a reasonable price, altough with the same budget we could have stayed in a hotel closer to town and had fresh towels/ sheets and cleaning services. We took a taxi to Peurto Banus daily, which costs between €15 - 20's depending on the time of day. If you want somewhere basic to stay, that is spacious with no frills, this villa is ideal.
