Within the direct vicinity, a few minutes drive can be found the very popular courses of 'Mijas Golf' and 'Alhaurin Golf'. Within an easy distance of our apartment you will also find 'La Cala Golf'. This is the biggest golf complex in Spain and incorporates three of the best golf courses on the Costa del Sol. The 'Marbella Club' was designed by Dave Thomas and measuring 6,247 metres in length the Marbella Golf Club consists of carefully contoured fairways, beautiful water cascades, lakes and strategically placed bunkers as well as perfectly conditioned undulating greens.

Guest comments
'It was a beautiful apartment - spacious, clean and with every home comfort imaginable. It was a perfect choice for us all including mum and I would highly recommend the apartment to anyone including those individuals who might have a disability. It was an ideal setting; peaceful and quiet but yet witihin striking distance by car of many other areas of Southern Spain. The complex and pools were cleaned daily and we spent many hours there relaxing in the sun'. Carole Earl, Yorkshire Aug 2009
'...The weather was absolutely beautiful...the appartment is superb- kids loved the pool and didn't want to go anywhere , they enjoyed the Garden and pool so much - we even went for " nightswims"...the appartment is better fitted out than our own house and most of all we enjoyed being lazy and not having to go anywhere ... Definitely this was a lovely place to go to and the perfect location for us to relax and enjoy a bit of sunshine'. Ursula Schweiger, Grange, Republic of Ireland Oct 2009
