Home description
The new Vinas del Golf urbinsation is a small, select and colourful gated complex of just 61 luxury apartments with private underground parking and lifts. Situated in the hills above the nearby beaches of Casares Costa and close to the town of Sabinillas, Costa del Sol. We have front line views of the Dona Julia golf course. You can hear the fountains on the golf course from the terrace. There is a outdoor pool (and small children's pool). Sun loungers are available by the pool. There is also an amazing large indoor heated pool with hot tub, gym, sauna and steam rooms- very few developments have luxury facilities on site to match!!! We also have a paddleball court (Paddleball originated in the United States where it is still most popular) and putting green (4 putters and golf balls left for guests' use) on site - these exceptional benefits are just for the exclusive use of the residents and guests of Vinas del Golf - entry only by key. There are no extra charges for using any of the above facilities! All of which are just a short stroll from our apartment .
The apartment is south facing therefore has the benefit of the sun the majorty of the day - the sun rises to the left and the sun sets to the right. We have plenty of outdoor seating so you can sit and relaz and enjoy the sun on one of our two large terraces (one has shade if it gets too hot).
We have furnished our apartment in a modern, contemporary style and to a very high standard -it is very clean, light and spacious with marble flooring throughout most of the apartment.
The apartment is situated on the ground floor and there is a lift from the secure underground car park. There are a few steps to the sun deck downfrom the top terrace. The combined total of both terraces is an exceptional 125 sq m. Safe for your children to play - they cannot escape from the garden as it is raised and fenced.
*The apartment also benefits from a large basement which we have converted into a 3rd bedroom with en-suite - this will be ready for bookings in 2009*.
**Also worth noting for the future is the new luxury 6 * Hyatt Hotel is due for completion in late 2009 and this is in walking distance of the apartment - the facilities there will be numerous but include an infinity pool, luxurious spa area for beauty treatments, restaurants and bars**.
Our private sun deck, perfect for relaxing whilst watching the golfers

Duquesa Port is about 4 minutes drive in the car. There are far too many restaurants/bars here to mention in this space but if you like Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Italian and Thai, then this town is a must place to visit and spend a few hours people watching and looking at the boats in the marina.
Also close by is the lovely town of Estepona also with a long seafront promenade, old town, shops and bars. There is a busy market in the port on Sunday mornings.
Marbella and Puerto Banus are within easy driving distance. Hang out with the rich and famous and visit the designer shops, boutiques and bars centred around the spectacular marina.

Guestbook
Your apartment is modern and beautifully furnished and we thought the location was fantastic, so close to the golf course and local town and beach – everything we were looking for was on the doorstep. The apartment was much larger than we expected and much better equipped. Had not even given a thought if there would be a dishwasher so pleased there is one. Actually phoned our airline to see if we could get a later flight home as we enjoyed our stay so much. Loved relaxing by the outdoor pool on the sun loungers. Did not even get time to try the indoor pool etc... Glad we rented a car as this meant we could visit lots of lovely places locally - Ronda, Mijas, Estepona Gibraltar, Casares, Marbella and P. Banus. If it has not been so hot, would have walked to the local beach. Sadly did not get time to vist the local markets which was on our list of things to do.. We watched all of the DVDs - the leather sofas are so comfortable, it was just so relaxing watching the TV after a day exploring in the hot sun. Nine days was just not enough. We just cannot speak highly enough of our visit. Melissa & Anne UK - June 2008
We did indeed have a good holiday. The weather was really good. Isn’t it always that? The apartment is very nice and situated well (if you have a car). We also had time for visit a lot of interesting things (Gibraltar, Tarifa, Sevilla, Ronda, Granada and Marbella/Puerto Banus), so it all went perfect. You have decorated the apartment very well and with great taste. It is beautiful. We also found almost everything we needed, but it would be nice with a mixer and a cooling box (an isolated box to bring in the car for keeping water etc. cold). The two terraces are absolutely terrific. It’s a nice place for eat, read or just relax. We didn’t use the living room at all besides going to/from the terrace. The swimming pool area is nice and so is the spa area (although we didn’t use it). Malika & Klaus, Denmark - August 2008
We had a lovely time in Spain thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your holiday let, it was clean and pleasant and the facilities very conducive to a family with 2 young teenagers. Your directions and recommendations of places to visit were spot on. We only figured out the Sauna the day before we left but made use of the Jacuzzi and gym, some weights would be nice though. The apartment itself had everything to offer. The Logsdon Family - August 2008
Hi Janet,
Just back to work today and it was lovely to hear from you. We had a wonderful time in your beautiful apartment. We had a bit of a hiccup with the Freeview for a couple of days, but we made the most of your DVD collection. I also enjoyed the books you have as most of them were just my taste. The weather wasn’t that bad apart from a couple of really rainy days but we just had a trip out to the Shopping Mall near Benalmadena one day and took Mum to one of the best tapas bars we know in Marbella (just off the Plaza de los Naranjas) on the second one. All in all we had a really relaxing time and made the most of the indoor pool and putting green. I shall certainly recommend your villa to everyone and hope that we will be returning in the future.
