The Costa del Sol region

The area is surrounded by a wealth of places to visit, eat and just generally relax. From a trip to see the apes in Gibralter to a cable car ride at Belamadena. A visit to the zoo in Feurengerola or a safari in Selwo Park.
Visit the picture perfect white washed villages of Casares, Gaucin and Mijas.

The markets, the Roman baths in Sabinillas, the miles of soft white sand; the water parks along the coastline. The glamorous style of Peurto Banus, the elegance of Sotogrande rubbing shoulders with the worlds best golfers in Valderama or 18 holes in one of the many other courses in the surrounding area. Rhonda with its famous bullring and bridge. Take the ferry to North Africa!

The Duquesa / Los Hidalgos area

Within Duquesa itself lies the lovely Castilio (castle) and many wonderful restaurants and Chirinquitos. You choose how you wish to spend your holiday time. This is the region of Southern Spain that offers it all: Marbella, Peurto Banus, Gibralter, Casares, Estepona are all within a short drive of Duquesa. Legend has it that the sulphur springs in Sabinillas were used by Julius Caesar.

The vibrant Sunday and weekly Markets are a must to visit. Apart from the pretty Marina of Duquesa with its many and varied restaurants there is Old Town Duquesa with its Castilio and a surprising choice of bars and restaurants.

The beach stretches for miles and the Chirinquitos (beach bars) are plentiful. Keep an eye on the local papers for any festivals or events for which Spain is famous. Trips to Cadiz, Seville, Granada and North Africa can be easily arranged.

Fly to Malaga Airport via all the main carriers eg BA, Easy Jet, Monarch.

Gibralter Airport is also an option and is closer to the apartment. Carriers include Easy Jet and BA.

Car Rentals: There are many to choose from situated within Malaga Airport. If flying into Gibraltar you are so close to the border to Spain (2 mins.) it is best to pre-hire your car on the Spanish side from the usual rental companies and collect your car there.

“Nice apartment shame about the owners” We found the apartment clean and ready to use, except for the air conditioner. I had to ring the owners in UK who said there was a problem with the remote which obviously had not been sorted - we used the manual with a toothpick for the rest of holidays! Shame it didnt have a welcome pack like alot of rental properties nowdays to set you off. However, good supermarkets near by (use the older looking for basics - better prices). Good pool facilities and only once had a lounger shortage. Very clean overall complex, near Gibraltar and pretty Spanish towns in the hills. But dont hang out towels on balcony or you get the president of complex on your back! However, the poor rating is for the mistrust from the owners about the gate door key which we found brocken in two when we tried to open the car gate for the first time. The key had been stuck together by previous people, you could see the glue residue on it. I phoned owners and told them all this,and I didnt think I should pay for a replacment who seemed to accept my word then and we had a quick replacement. I thought nothing more about this.On return home the owner docked £25 off my deposit of £150. After alot of messy emails (I did try to speak to Susan - who refused my calls), I still am without £25 for a blinkin piece of plastic !!! Beware - I think they are tightrods (and amateurs - its their property which they use) who try to recover their money regardless of who is really responsible. I would have taken the hit and blamed myself for not checking the state of the keys before I sent out to my client. There is a 55 euro charge to clean apt after use which I think is excessive.First time I have come across this. Take into account phone calls home, loss of part of my deposit and sending back new keys recorded delivery, I think I have been shortchanged. We owned up to some minor crockery breakages (there is no sink plate rack which doesnt help) so why should we make up the key story? Response: Thank you very much for your review and the positive comments that you have made about our property, the amenities and local area. There is always the possibility of equipment not working and home owners can only strive to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. On this occasion when informed our remote control to activate the air conditioning was not working, we suggested an alternative method for the short term which was appreciated by our guests at the time. We send a lot of information in advance of our guests departing for their holiday which include the offer of a welcome pack, which can be requested if required. We also include a copy of the Rules of the Community to help our guests maintain the appearance and standards of the Community for residents and guests to enjoy. Our keys are checked when returned to us and carefully packaged and sent out in advance of guests leaving for their holiday. It is not in our interest to post out a broken or damaged fob. We never ignore phone calls from our guests as they are encouraged to phone us if there is a query or problem. It is in our interest to respond as quickly as possible and if necessary we inform our associate on site to take appropriate action on our behalf. For example, supplying a fresh fob within 10 minutes of a call. It is not uncommon to pay a separate laundry/cleaning charge at the holiday location and this charge is clearly included on the booking contract, which our guests read before signing and returning to us. It is standard practice with most lettings for guests to either receive keys on site or have them posted by recorded delivery in advance of departure and therefore have the keys returned in the same manner. Our aim is to ensure our guests enjoy their stay in our apartment and return again. We have always received via email unsolicited compliments from our guests about their holiday experience and holiday apartment. We are therefore very disappointed to receive this review.
