About the home

Are you looking for an apartment where it is peaceful enough for you to relax, yet is within a few minutes stroll of several restaurants & bistros and only 15 minutes walk to the bustle of the port? You've found it! Casacarla is ideally located in a beautiful white pueblo, Andalucian style complex in Neuva Andalucia close to Puerto Banus. The 2 twin bedded, en suite bedrooms make this fully equipped apartment ideal for families, couples or a small group of friends. High chair and travel cot available (new 2011) at no extra cost. Terrace with seating for 4 and gas bbq for alfresco dining. Sun on terrace from morning until early/mid afternoon in spring and morning until mid/late afternoon in summer. La Maestranza is a family - friendly gated complex with 2 pools (1 heated) and children's splash pool set amongst beautifully kept sub-tropical gardens. Pre-paid WiFi available in apartment, on request. Amenities in immediate area include well stocked supermarket, bistro/bar with free WiFi & several restaurants. Further selection of coffee bars/bistros and restaurants just 5 mins walk away. The very popular weekly market at the Bullring is also 5 minutes walk - give yourself time to root about as there are some fabulous bargains to be had!

Selection of books available - leave one/take one. The lounge is very comfortable, tastefully decorated and spacious with two large sofas, large dining area and direct access to terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped - we like our "cooking in" evenings to be enjoyable so a full range of utensils and tools are available. Of course, we also have the essential fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, oven/hob, microwave and ironing facilities. Both bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe space and are en-suite with bath and shower. Hairdryers and hair straighteners in both rooms. Linen and towels, including pool towels, are provided.

Further details outdoors:
Sun on terrace from morning until early/mid afternoon in spring and morning until mid/late afternoon in summer. Maestranza is built on a slope so our front door is on the ground floor - but when you walk through the apartment to the terrace, it not only overlooks a lovely water feature but has two levels below. Best of both worlds, having access on ground level at back, yet terrace two levels up at front with no stairs in apartment. La Maestranza is a family - friendly gated complex with 2 pools (1 heated) and children's splash pool set amongst beautifully kept sub-tropical gardens.
Bicycles & helmets available, by request only.
We have a designated numbered parking space in the underground garage - access fob provided.

The Costa del Sol region

The Costa del Sol is one of Europe's most popular year-round holiday spots, stretching for 160 kilometres to the east and west of Malaga on the south coast of Spain and providing miles of magnificent beaches.
The coastline here is sheltered by hills and high mountains allowing for a kind of micro climate. This limits rainfall, and as a result the region enjoys sunshine for in excess of 320 days per year. The sun is at its hottest during the summer months, with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C (86°F). The typically very mild winters, boast daily highs of around 20°C (64°F) and at night the low rarely falls below 10°C.
Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol and the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. It's Spain's second largest port and has a cosmopolitan flavour along with much traditional Andalucian charm amid its maze of medieval streets.

The Puerto Banus / La Maestranza area

A supermarket (superb fresh fish counter), WiFi bistro with Sky Sport, restaurants, medical centre and chemist are just some of the facilities in the immediate vicinity of the complex, whilst even more restaurants, bistros and bars can be found a short 5 minutes walk from the apartment. You can easily go out for a meal or a drink and forget about the car.

It is a 15 minutes walk or short bus ride (bus stop close by) to Puerto Banus. Here you can experience the bustle of the marina and a wonderful selection of exclusive designer shops and larger stores. Puerto Banus, is home to some of the finest shops and restaurants in Spain and offers miles of blue flag beaches with views towards Africa and Gibraltar.

Puerto Banus is linked to the centre of Marbella not only by road, but by a car free promenade and a water-taxi. It takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete this peaceful, coastal walk or half an hour on the boat.
One of the best and largest markets on the Costa Del Sol is the street market at the Bull Ring only 5 minutes away from the apartment - every Saturday 9.00 - 2.00.
El Corte Ingles is a very large department store situated near to the port. This offers a full shopping experience with all the big brands represented. There are several places to eat / drink within the store.
Puerto Banus's relaxed friendly atmosphere can provide everything for a holiday stay and makes it an excellent choice for families and couples with something for everyone in this area of the Costa del Sol.
The Costa del Sol is also known as the 'Costa del Golf' due to the numerous golf courses in the area. Casa Carla is located in the Golf Valley, which means you are within 10 minutes drive of 5 courses - Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, La Quinta, Aloha, and La Dama de Noche - and within 30 minutes drive from at least 12 other courses.

The historic town of Ronda and the delightful White Villages are close by. The cultural centres of Seville, Cardoba and Granada are also possible places to visit. You can go on a day trip to Morocco or Tangiers from Algeciras and Tarifa or visit the apes on the rock of Gibraltar. There are many marked walks in the Andalucian mountains for those who like to explore on foot. Spain's vias verdes (greenways) are one of Andalucia's lesser known rural attractions and a great way to discover the countryside off the, sometimes well-beaten track. In the winter months you can ski on the Sierra Nevada mountain range - about two and a half hours drive - snow and sun in one day!

If you are holidaying with children - you are well catered for. There are aquaparks in Fuengirola (which also has an excellent zoo) and at Torremolinos. Near to the water park in Torremolinos, is a Crocodile Park. The Selwo Wildlife Adventure Park is well worth a visit, where you will find over 2000 animals from every continent living in semi-free conditions on the one million square metre site! Tivoli World, in Benalmadena, is a theme park with the usual rides, attractions and restaurants. For those who like their sports, there are tennis and golf activities - check with local press. Don't forget the blue flag beaches of Puerto Banus and Marbella! Multi cinemaplexes at Puerto Banus and Marbella - as well as American bowling. Of course, you may prefer to stay in the complex and let the family enjoy splashing around in one of the pools! Kid's morning sports club 5 mins walk away - variety of activities over a week with a weekly "award" ceremony. My nephews love it! (And so do their parents, as they get some time to themselves!!)

And if you prefer getting away from it all (as we do!) there are miles and miles of marked walks through the national park behind the Cost del Sol. The wildlife and flora that can be seen is just fabulous - we have a variety of guide books. Please use them - you'll be amazed at the "other side" of the Costa del Sol.

Guestbook for La Maestranza

Hi Carol,
Just a quick a e-mail to say that we all had a great time in the apartment at Christmas. The weather was great all week, a lot hotter than we thought it would be. The apartment was lovely and the area had everything we needed! Thank you for the food parcel - it came in handy on the first night and thank you also for the chocolates, champagne and the card you left. The decorations and Christmas lights made it very cosy! The apartment is in a beautiful complex and the local market is only a 5 minute walk away which we thoroughly enjoyed. We used the BBQ and even had a barbie on Christmas day - one of the best Christmases we have had! Great apartment, great area and great beach - we'll definitely be back again!
Thank you for everything Carol
Brenda, David & Family (30/12/11)

Morning Carol
We had a lovely time - it was just what the doctor ordered especially for me (recently been in hospital!)
The weather was superb and the apartment had everything we needed and more - except a tin opener and we bought one !
Apartment was wonderfully clean and fresh and we could not have asked for more. We are thinking of making it an annual event and would definitely rebook with you.
The location was great and cant wait to go again. I really must say that Tilly takes great care of your place and it was a joy.
Thank you so much
Kind regards
Gail (23/6/11)
(Thank you for replacing the missing tin-opener, Gail. You'd be amazed at the things that get thrown out by mistake! Carol)

Hi Carol
Just a quick email to say thank you!
We had a lovely relaxing holiday staying in Casa Carla - it is a real home from home and we could not have wished for a nicer place to stay. Your apartment is immaculate and you have thought of everything. The location was so convenient to all amenities.
We will definitely return to Casa Carla & will recommend it to friends/family.
Also can you pass our thanks on to Tilly & Adi as they do a brilliant job.

Hi Carol
We just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated your beautiful apartment. We have never stayed anywhere so well equipped, from the kitchen utensils, to the books and DVDs. We had a few days bad weather but were easily able to keep the kids entertained. We left a few pool inflatables and toys to add to the collection!
Thanks again for all your thoughtful touches and all the helpful information you supplied,
Kind regards
Carolyn and Robert (23/4/11)

Again many thanks
