The Costa del Sol/Malaga region

The area around Marbella is well known for its unique micro-climate which gives us over 300 days of sunshine each year as well as extremely pleasant temperatures, even in the summer months when elsewhere in Spain it can become unbearably hot!

Whilst the Costa del Sol is particularly renowned for its lovely beaches and wonderful Mediterranean lifestyle there is of course so much more to enjoy including beautiful countryside just a short distance away.

Slightly further afield are the historic cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba, as well as the beautiful old town of Ronda. A particularly relaxing journey is aboard the scenic Steam Train from San Roque to Ronda with more than four hours to explore Ronda before returning.

Malaga too is also now definitely worth a visit and a great way to see the city is either on foot or by taking the Malaga Tour Bus which is a hop-on, hop-off open top bus which makes 13 stops around the city of Malaga allowing you to get off and enjoy the city’s sightseeing, monuments and museums, including the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba and the castle of Gibralfaro.

Gibraltar is just 50 minutes away with its caves, apes, duty-free shopping and dolphin trips.

You can also take organised excursions including a day trip to Tangier in Morocco with a pick-up point just outside of our complex.

Skiing is possible in the Sierra Nevada near to Granada which is about a two hour drive away

Marbella / New Golden Mile area

A short drive away from El Presidente is Marbella and its lovely promenade and beach. Once it was just a fishing village but now it is known as “the pearl of the Costa del Sol” with its cosmopolitan population, international visitors and reputation for being one of the Coast's most aristocratic resorts.

Here you have the beautiful old town of Marbella with the Plaza de Naranjos (Orange Square, shown above) at its centre. Narrow white-washed pedestrianized streets feed off from it, bedecked with colourful and fragrant flowers, offering a wonderful chance to explore the hidden delights of Marbella as you come upon attractive courtyards, the walls of the old Moorish castle and beautiful churches set in picturesque squares. Also along these narrow lanes in Marbella's “Casco Antiguo” are numerous shops offering artisan gifts, designer clothes and so much more for both tourists and the local people of Marbella. Then when you feel the need to relax you can choose from one of the old town's many outdoor restaurants, shady cafes or tapas bars for a reviving drink, tasty snack or freshly prepared meal. Just remember that the spanish tend to eat later in the evening so if you want to enjoy the best atmosphere wait until about 9 pm.

Adjacent to Marbella's old town is the newer commercial area with the main thoroughfare of the Avda. Ricardo Soriano containing many internationally known shops, as well as branches of all the major banks. Larger shopping centres, such as La Cañada, with even more retail shops, are to be found just outside of Marbella and in Puerto Banus.

There are also a number of beautiful and tree lined parks, such as the Parque de Constitucion, where outdoor summer concerts and children's theatrical productions are put on.

Indeed because of the nearby mountains that protect Marbella from the cold winds of the north, we are able to benefit from a a very special micro-climate that gives us milder winters and slightly cooler summer nights than Malaga and the rest of the Costa del Sol receive. Consequently we are able to enjoy the out-door life of Marbella throughout the year without suffering from either the freezing cold or sweltering and unbearable heat experienced elsewhere in Europe! This is definitely a major advantage!!

The beaches of Marbella are great places to relax and the sea is safe to swim in. There is also a palm fringed, marble promenade that stretches from Marbella to Puerto Banus and along which there are numerous restaurants, bars and pavement cafes, many which offer very good food at reasonable prices and from where you can soak up the local atmosphere of Marbella.

Puerto Banus itself has enjoyed the reputation as the playground of the rich and there are certainly many sleek, beautiful and extremely expensive yachts moored along the quay side. There are also numerous restaurants and designer shops around the marina along with bars and night clubs, most of which that do not really get busy until the early hours of the morning continuing through to dawn, especially during the summer months. Two bars, Saldubas and Sinatras are particularly popular meeting points!

For those who would like to have a more active holiday, there are numerous options, many of which are listed on our own website. There are of course also the large number of golf courses that offer a very high standard of greens for golfers.

Close by there are also the lovely towns of San Pedro and Estepona which benefit from still maintaining their special spanish identity so that you can wander their lovely streets, many of which are pedestrianized and full of locals going about their normal lives and know that you really are experiencing the wonderful spanish culture.

A reasonably short drive from El Presidente are the beautiful white-washed hillside villages of Benahavis and Casares with their narrow streets, bars, excellent restaurants and artisan shops.

Five minutes away is Puerto Banus, with its fantastic marina and yachts, designer shops, fun night life, the renowned department store El Corte Ingles and dozens of waterfront bars and restaurants.

For children there is so much to do apart from the beaches and the swimming pools, including water parks, an aquarium, a wild animal safari park, a crocodile park and a zoo, boat trips to see the dolphins, water sports, go-karting and Tivoli World with its fun-fair and stage shows, plus so much more!

Our own website contains a great deal more information and photographs.

Guestbook

Dear Peter and Sylvia,
As usual, we have had a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The apartment and the complex are the best on the Costa del Sol! See you again next year for our 5th year. Thank you for everything.
Louise, Calum, James and Cameron Grant

Dear Peter and Sylvia,
This is just to say thank you for our stay in your apartment. You made us very welcome and the apartment was perfect. We liked the apartment very much and the setting is really beautiful with the pools and mature trees.
The apartment had everything one could wish for. It is a credit to you both. We especially liked the extra touches like the beds being already made up and the lovely soft towels. So many places we have stayed in where we have arrived tired and had to make up beds with tatty old sheets and been given scratchy old towels!
Best regards,
Jayne & Paul Long
Freda & Phil Davies

Dear Peter and Sylvia,
Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our recent stay at El Presidente.The apartment and surrounding area was beautiful.We hope everything was O.K. on our departure and we are sorry we were unable to thank you for your kindness in person.
Kind regards,
Julie,Tony, Jordan and Hannah.

Good morning Peter
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your apartment and found it very comfortable. The location and the setting were lovely and the position was excellent for access to everywhere. We hope to be able to return to Spain before too long and would certainly like to stay with you again.
Thank you.
Liz and Richard Wasdell

Dear Peter, Sylvia and Family
Just to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at El Presidente.
The apartment and swimming pools were fabulous, the weather, surrounding restaurants and beaches excellent.
Kindest Regards
Sandra, Graham and Alexandra Steventon

Dear Peter and Sylvia,
Thank you very much for introducing us to the delights of El Presidente. The development is splendid and we really enjoyed our holiday. The facilities and location are so convenient. We were always spoilt for choice as to where to eat! Our boys loved playing tennis and William enjoyed his three coaching sessions with Jason.
Thank you also for organizing the new fridge freezer at a time when I'm sure you could have well done without the inconvenience. We hope to return for another relaxing holiday!
Best wishes to you both,
Kathy, Graham, Edward, William and Christopher Fairhead

Our 4th Visit to one of Peter & Sylvia's apartments at El Presidente. Recently renovated, the 1st floor apartment we had for the first week of April this year was the best we've had. The Chatlands are always friendly (our children and theirs play together some evenings) and attentive adding the personal touch to out stay. We'll be back at El Presidente again in 2009!
Peter, Sarah, Edward and Oliver Jacobson

The ground floor apartment (Kent) was exactly as described on the website and we really liked the complex. Lovely pools and we found some great restaurants within easy walking distance. Sylvia and Peter are ideal hosts; friendly and available to answer any questions. Great location for a relaxing break.
Mark, Sue and Thomas Sercombe
