Accessibility
There is a back gate to the villa which is on the same level as the kitchen, two lounges, covered terrace, bathroom, outside toilet and two of the bedrooms. This is very useful for loading and unloading and also for wheelchair access.
The back gate can be accessed via a rough track off the main urbanisation road.

There is a private pool 8m x 4m, 75cm to 150cm deep, which is private and not overlooked. There are many terraces and a garden area with trees and a small lawn. The barbecue is on the same level as the pool and there are numerous tables, chairs, sun loungers, parasols, etc.
The fifth bedroom opens onto a its own lower terrace and is very private.

Coast/Beach
The beach is 700 metres down the hill from the villa and takes 10 mins to walk or 2 mins to drive. The beach is a two mile expanse of beautiful sand and is serviced by numerous beach bars, restaurants and shops.
Benajarafe beach still retains the old world unspoilt feel of the fishing village that it is. Fishermen can be seen hauling their boats onto the beach after a hard nights fishing, then dividing their catch between various restaurant and market stall owners.
Golf
There are two fine golf courses nearby; Anoretta, which is long, well established, with an excellent clubhouse. This is only 10 minutes drive from the villa. The other course is
Baviera Golf which is new and superb. Baviera is only 12 minutes from the villa in the opposite direction.
Skiing
Skiing is available between November to April at Sol e Nervre in the Sierra Nervada Mountains near Granada. The slopes are 90 minutes away on the new Malaga/Granada motorway. The slopes are good for all levels of skiers Mulhassen being the highest mountain in mainland Spain, at 3508 metres.
Travel
The nearest airport is Malaga this is 25kms or half an hour drive away. The taxi fare from the airport should be no more than 45 euros. It is however recomended that one hires a car.
There is a regular bus service into 'Malaga', 17kms, 'Torre del Mar', 8kms or 'Velez Malaga', 10kms.
Distances
Benajarafe is a fishing village, the nearest town is 'Rincon de la Victoria' which is 5kms west along the beach. 'Nerja' at which one can find the 'Cuerva De Nerja', the famous 'Balcon de Europa' and lots of superb shops and restaurants is 25kms to the east of Benajarafe.
Further details
Benajarafe is an excellent base from which to explore one of the unspoilt parts of coastal Spain. From here one has easy access to the white villages at the foothills of the Sierras or one can visit the incredible 'Alhambra' and the High Sierras at Granada.
Going to the west, Malaga is a large city with an amazing
history, architecture and a purely Spanish feel.

Guest comments
Dear Ben
I thought you might like to know how we fared in Benajarafe. As you know we were having a family reunion and we couldn't have found a better place to meet all our needs. Accommodating 15 of us, wasn't going to be an easy task, but your beautiful villa gave us everything we wanted.
The pool proved a 'Big Hit' with the children, so much so that they would have been happy to spend the entire holiday just in and out of it!
Even the hill down to the beach didn't deter any of us and we made trips up and down, no probs at all even for the little ones. The local buses were great, enabling us to venture a little further afield. We weren't too sure how we'd manage without our own transport but we got along fine without it.
Alan did a great job and looked after us really well He was there to meet and greet each one of us even though this meant three trips to Malaga when we arrived!
We will always have happy memories of our holiday.
Thank you Ben & Alan
Kind regards Julie & Co 11

About the owner
Hi I'm Ben Travers, the owner of Villa Familia. I live in England with my wife, 3 children and our 3 year old pet labrador My wife and I both work, but spend most of our holidays in Spain, where we have made many friends and have really fallen in love with the country.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love Benajarafe because of the fantastic facilities in the area. There are some beautiful beaches and the sea front boasts a great range of bars and restaurants. There really is something for everyone here. The area is easily accessible with Malaga airport 40 minutes drive away. We often use the villa in the winter as with the new motorways, the ski resorts are less than an hours drive away.
Unique benefits of the property
The property is just ten minutes walk down the hill from the fabulous beach. We provide beach towels and umbrellas so you can travel light and make the most of the great coastline. For those who enjoy a more active holiday, you can take advantage of the nearby Baviera and Anoreta golf courses. Both of which are less than 10 minutes drive.
