Lovely little seaview villa.
This is a charming little two-bedroom villa, with a nice and well-equiped kitchen, small living room, nice bathroom, nice front patio with unobstructed view over the ocean. Different from all the apartments in concrete blocks on the Costa del Sol. Very friendly reception and good communication. Still, it was a little expensive for what it was.
Few practical things:
- Car: there is no parking on the premises, but you can park the car in a little street 20 metres further up the hill to the right. Great car rental places at the central station (Centauro and Sixth) as well as at the airport.
- By bus: bus 33 goes up the hill and stops very close to the house. it is quite regular in the daytime. We did not figure out how to go from the airport to the midtown stop for bus 33, but think you need to take bus A from the airport. Google Maps directions not so good, but you do need bus 33.
Otherwise, from the airport, take the metro to Centre Mall, and from there you can take bus nr 3. note that bus 3 stops at the foot of the hill and then you have to walk up about 40 metres via the street and a public staircase. not a big issue as long as your bags are not too big and heavy.
- Beach: very nice to walk to Malaga via the beach, takes about one hour to the cruise ship harbour. If you walk to the other side, north, the beaches are much nicer. Don't miss going to restaurant El Tintero, it is really quite an experience. Careful, it can get a bit expensive as you keep piling up dishes, but it is worth it.
- Pedregalejo is a great base for visiting the Costa del Sol as well as the inland marvels: the Alhambra in Granada, Seville, Ronda etc are all about a 2-hour drive away.
- PS there is a turtle in the back. Kinda cute but it means you cannot leave the back door open as it wants to come in, and apparently turtles carry a lot of germs.
- Good laundry room in the back with good machine etc.
Overall this is a really nice and special place. chrs
