Guestbook
HELLO ANN JUST A NOTE TO SAY HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED OUR HOLIDAY. YOUR LOVELY APARTMENT MADE OUR HOLIDAY SPECIAL AND EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL AND WE CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WAS NEEDED OR MISSING. WE HOPE TO RETURN - NEXT TIME WITH OUR SON WHO HAS BEEN HEARING OUR GLOWING REPORTS WHILE TRAVELLING IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
FROM YOUR FRIENDS IN IRELAND AND SLIGO - ANN JOHN SANDRA AND EVAN.
The apartment was fantastic and really set our holiday up. It had everything we needed and this is the only time we have rented an apartment when this has been the case. Certainly great value for money and a great location. Me and Kate couldn't speak highly enough about it.
Thanks again to you and Lynn. She and her partner were a great help showing us around and running us back to the airport.
Paul & Kate
Hi Ann,
What a holiday!! Your villa is absolutely amazing and the location is second to none! We had an excellent time and very much enjoyed La Cala. We did drive into the major touristy towns and into Gibraltar, but truly valued the less touristy feel of your location. We were very proud every morning, waking up and having breakfast on your expansive terrace whilst others ate in the shade (and I am sure were very envious).
Many thanks again. Adam and Jenifer
Just a quick note, we had a great time and your apartment is fabulous, the kids loved the big telly with sky, we were very impressed how quickly Lynn sorted out the problem with the Ceiling fan, and the fitout is first class, everthing was catered for. We loved the size of your terrace with both sun and shade all day. We were so impressed with Jardines de la Norai we even viewed some property while we were there. However we would need a 3 bed apartment with the same size terrace as yours. We will keep looking. Cory O'Connor
Hello Ann,
Thanks for the rental of your wonderful apartment. We really enjoyed our stay and if its available again next year, we would be happy to rent there again.
Kind Regards Mr Shead
Hi Ann,
I just wanted to let you know that we all had a wonderful time. Your apartment was fantastic - we absolutely fell in love with it and will no doubt be returning. We ate in the apartment for a couple of nights and really enjoyed sitting out on your balcony in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and feel very relaxed now - a little too relaxed - I don't want to go back to school next week now!! We will be getting in touch again soon, no doubt!!
Anna Williamson
Hi Ann,
We have just arrived back from the airport this afternoon. Just to let you know we had a wonderful holiday, mainly due to your apartment. It was furnished to an excellent standard, very modern and everything we could have needed for our holiday. We had breakfast on the terrace, spent all day sunbathing there, had lunch in the shade and then evening drinks sat outside on the very comfortable chairs before our short walk into the (very affordable) town for something to eat; much nicer than the busier towns along the Costa Del Sol and nice to see all the locals there. We ate seafood looking onto the beach, tapas in the local Spanish Bar and lived it up on Saturday night at the Mijas Playa Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge! It was even nice to get our local North West news programmes on Sky and keep up with events at home.
It is by far the best apartment we have stayed in and much more enjoyable and comfortable than any hotel. We have never had a more relaxing holiday and would not stay anywhere else on the Costa Del Sol.
Lynn and her team transported us to and from the airport and were prompt and very helpful, Jonny who picked us up showed us the best supermarkets, got us a local taxi card and ran us into town to the supermarket on our arrival.
We will be contacting you very shortly to book a week next year for another relaxing break.
Many thanks for a most enjoyable holiday;
Karl and Tracy.
