The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
There is so much to see and do on the Costa del Sol you really will be spoilt for choice! Our apartment is in the ideal location for a quiet relaxing holiday or for those of you who want to get 'out & about'. Here are a few suggestions to put on your 'to do' list!
Casares Casares is a beautiful white washed Andalucian mountain village and is only 15 mins by car. Spend the day experiencing a traditional Spanish 'pueblo'. Park your car as you enter Casares and take one of the many footpaths that lead down into the village. Visit the Plaza de Espana, the Virgin Del Rosario chapel and if you are feeling very fit climb 1400 feet above sea level to the old fortress.
Ronda Ronda is only an hour away by car and is one of the most distinctive and beautiful towns in Spain. Make a day of it by driving the winding, but breathtaking scenic route from Manilva, through Gaucin. Make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Neuvo bridge which straddles the 100m chasm below. The bullring is the oldest in Spain and with its underground museum is well worth a visit.
Gibraltar Gibraltar is only 25 mins away, don't forget your passport to cross the border. You can take one of the famous 'Rock Tours' to meet the Barbary Apes, explore St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels. If shopping is more you thing, then you can 'shop till you drop' in this truly different shopping experience!
Duquesa / Duquesa Village area
Duquesa Village is only a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk away from the Blue Flag Beach at La Duquesa. This is a large sandy beach, perfect for families dotted with traditional Spanish Chiringuitos (or beach bars) serving beautiful fresh fish at good prices. From here you can take the promenade walk all the way to Sabinillas about a mile, to enjoy the views to Estepona and the rest of the New Golden Mile. En route there are lots of children's play areas, benches and bars for you to stop at to take the weight off for a bit!
Puerto de la Duquesa has a variety of great bars and restaurants, as well as boutique gift shops, internet cafe and a bakery. It still manages to retain some of its true Andalusian charm.
Manilva is a few kilometers inland from Puerto de la Duquesa and is well known for producing sweet wines. It holds a celebrated wine festival in September each year. In the autumn you can stop to buy grapes or raisins from the locals by the roadside. The town has a history dating back to Roman times and today you can still visit the Roman Sulphur Baths and Aqueduct.

Guestbook for Duquesa Village
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at your apartment in Duquesa Village. The apartment is clean, spacious and has all the comforts of home. We really appreciated the extra touches, such as the DVD library and board games. We will definitely recommend the apartment to friends and sincerely hope to return again next year. The Steel Family, April 2008
The apartment was beautifully clean with the beds freshly made for us. Heaven, especially as we arrived on a late night flight. When we drew back the patio curtains in the morning we saw the swimming pool and lush gardens. What a welcome for our first trip to Duquesa Village. It was also great having a fully fitted kitchen, as we didn't want to eat out all the time, so we were able to prepare proper meals the nights we stayed in. We still can't believe how cheap the apartment was, as it was the height of luxury. The photos do not do this location and apartment justice, so try it for yourself! We were so pleased with this holiday, we will definitely be coming back. Mr & Mrs Barden, May 2008
Hi Michelle, What a wonderful time we had at Duquesa, the apartment was fantastic with everything we could ask for and a great setting. The whole booking process and holiday was hassle free from start to finish. Thank you very much for a great holiday. We hope to do business again soon! Mr Cox, August 2008.
The excellent meet and greet service ensured that we knew all about the apartment, local and more distant areas, as well as where more details could be found. What a great idea the apartment manual is. The attention to detail is superb, starting with a welcome bottle of wine, and providing "freeview" uk tv, dvd player/ library etc, board games and pool/ tennis court toys. The apartment is well appointed with facilities and restaraunts in the port/ on the way to it and local supermarket s. it's ideal as abase for a family holiday, or golfing groups. Mr Pawson, August 2008
Hi Michelle We had a fantastic holiday at the Duquesa Village apartment. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We stayed with a small child and you had even provided plastic cups and plates. Everything was clean, tidy and in good working order. The standard of the furnishings was excellent. The poolside area was clean and safe and had a covered area which was great for little children to play under in the hot summer sun. A car is essential in this area as the apartment is at the top of a steep hill. Duquesa port is only 5 mins away in the car, and is full of great places to eat and drink. Enjoy your holiday! Mr & Mrs Baskill, September 2008
