This place was great value for money. A short €1 bus ride to lots of bars, restaurants nice beaches. Very friendly staff and the grounds were well tended. Didn't get any maid service during our stay and I thought it was a bit cheeky to have to pay for sun loungers. It's a very hilly area so some people may struggle but overall a great getaway with some beautiful scenery

Lovely location. Great views. A few issues with ants in the property! Also, had to pay deposit for use of pool but not able to get that back as Reception closed when we left and no answer when we tried to call.

I liked the traditional shape of the building, the kitchen area had all that was needed in terms of utensils.I loved the layout of the property. The only downfall was the view of the building complex taking place opposite our apartment looking at two large cranes and listening to Building works was not the most appealing and not being told about it , was a bit wrong , but i still enjoyed it . Also one minor issue was that we had to pay for sunbeds around the pool, which was not mentioned when booking. Apart from that i would stay there again .

This was not a expensive holiday and i did not expect a palace Property a bit dated but clean and i was happy with that. Staff all very friendly. Nerja is a lovely place and will again. The pools were clean. What i didn't like; Paying for pool sunbeds Booking a double bed and getting 2 singles Told there was internet and it bidn't work. Overall i was happy with the holiday but the little things irritate and if put right would make the complex extremely good

Another pleasant stay at the Capistrano Village.
Another pleasant stay at the Capistrano Village. Pools and Gardens were lovely and the Cave Bar was a find this year - good beer, food and service. Only downside was we were at the top of the hill this time and it was just that bit too far after walking back from the centre. Got a taxi back on the evenings. Apartment was good in most respects bar the aircon which couldn't get below 18 degrees and the bathroom was boiling 24/7. The balcony afforded nice sea views. The service provided by El Sur was excellent.

The place itself is beautiful and very well looked after however the apartment we stayed in was really run down, door handles falling off and not working correctly, air conditioning wasn’t working properly and leaking so there was no point in using that, asked for a double bed and got 2 single beds so ended up on the sofa every night and the list goes on, it’s a shame because the rest of the complex is really nice and well looked after, the happy hour at the cave bar is what saved my holiday, wouldn’t stay here again though!

We try to go every year, El Capistrano Sur is close to the lovely city of Nerja and a good start to enjoy all between Malaga, Granada and The Sierra Nevada. You need to rent a car. By the way Capistrano has it all, swimming pool, shop and restaurants. But having a meal in the city is always fun.

A pleasant area a distance from beach and town
Our property was spacious and well equiped but requires significant investment to bring it up to a modern standard. Area around property and on urbanisation was pleasant and well kept. Property had good terraces but suffered from some road noise at particular times of the day. Location is a good walk from both beach and town centre particurly on the uphill return. Nerja town centre is a bustling holiday resort with plenty of good restaurants and bars. Visited the Nerja cuevas which are impressive and Torrox costa which was a lot quieter than Nerja which had a lot of well priced restaurants along the promenade. A pleasant holiday.

A home from home
We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a studio apartment with a mezzanine for sleeping. Beautiful secluded terrace area with Bougainville around. Rustic and homely inside which suited us well - all very functional. Used electric heater which was supplied when it was a bit cooler in the evening which was useful. Found whole village very quaint and well maintained. We enjoyed the 15 min walk down to beach and about 25 min walk into the town which we chose to do despite having a car. The Mercadona opposite was being renovated during our stay but there was another supermarket very close by to walk to. The reption staff member we dealt with on checking in was extremely helpful - we'd arrived early and he went above and beyond to accommodate this which we really appreciated.

The apartment has a great terrace but the inside is very tired. I have to say though it was spotlessly clean. The terrace saved it. We spent all of our time out there. It is also right next to the pool. It is a 20 minute walk into town, so you may want a car.

Nerja is beautiful, our apartment was not !!
Stayed at one of the Studio apartments for 7 nights at the end July/beginning of August as we were attending a 50th party in the area. You need to be careful as the listing is a little misleading as these are peoples private holiday homes let out by the agent on the urbanisation when not in use and not by a company providing commercial accommodation such as a hotel etc. The apartment itself was clean if not a little shabby with many fitments hanging off or been poorly fitted. The worst part of all is that the apartment had no Air Con and was unbelievably hot, we measured the inside temperature at 50+ degrees and the humidity was horrendous. Being a studio apartment, it had a mezzanine floor with the bed upstairs with an incredibly low ceiling which acted like a pizza oven, it was stifling. We ended up 'sleeping" downstairs on the sofa, if you can call "sleeping" the odd hour or so nap we managed to get. We complained to the agent who could only offer us a free standing air con unit if we paid an extra 60 Euros for the week, I declined as I thought it was a rip off. I have since been told that under Spanish law, properties made available for tourism rental must have air conditioning fitted, I checked this online myself and it is correct. The complex itself is nice with swimming pools etc, but my wife returned with two of her bathing suits ruined by the high chlorine content in the water turning them a yellow/green colour. Don't think I will be rushing to stay here again.

The flat was not fully equipped. We had to lug luggage up some 40 steps. Not funny when in your twilight years. When booking ensure you get a flat on the float. None of this spoilt our stay in Nerja. Delightful small resort.

Great place - would certainly go back.
El Capistrano is a holiday village of apartments on the edge of Nerja, with El Capistrano Sur being one of four managing agents for the site. We had an initial disappointment on arrival as we had booked based on the Expedia web-page saying that all rooms had a separate bath (we like our baths!). Also, we had requested a double bed but got two singles. We approached the reception who were really friendly and helpful, but ultimately they couldn't change anything as all the accommodation has showers only and all have single beds - but they did at least arrange for the beds to be put together and made up as a double. The one bed apartment we were in had a lovely little private terrace and a well equipped kitchen (it was owned by a family and rented out through the agency). I used the communal swimming pool near our apartment (there are a few of them in the village) every morning when it was quiet - it was fairly well used in the afternoon. There are a few big supermarkets within a few hundred yards, although the small supermarket in the village was well stocked and had decent prices. There is a restaurant on site and more just off site, across the road. We had a hire car and there was never a problem parking. Everywhere in the village was kept very clean. It was a short trip into Nerja itself, probably about 30 minutes by foot. If you want the beach it is about 15 minutes away straight down across the road, a sandy beach with lots of shops and restaurant. I would certainly return

Beautiful holiday village on edge of Nerja
A lovely place to stay. A holiday village built in the traditional Andalusian style with well kept gardens and flowers in full bloom along the paths that wend their way between the villas. The local blue bus connects the village with Nerja town centre and the beaches. Convenient for the supermarket and buses to the Nerja Caves.

Very misleading on the website as to exactly what this hotel/villa business is. On arrival it was hard to find reception. When we found it reception is open for very limited hours each day so had to hang around Nerja for hours before check in. I was given a villa a long way from where I was led to believe I'd booked. High up in the mountains 30 mins walk from outskirts of Nerja. Also up lots of steps. The man at check in was helpful and polite. My villa was VERY SMELLY - Spanish plumbing but also a very stinky water heater in a bedroom cupboard that honestly smelt as though something had died in there. Needed the windows open as much as possible which is hard over late December early January as it's cold at night. Only one little heater + heater in bathroom. Basic bedrooms, could do with upgrading but OK. Had to buy some equipment for the kitchen as in my experience this was VERY BASIC and lacking. Also the kettle was dodgy - boiling on it's own but not when switched on intentially. There were light bulbs out in the bathroom. Living space was OK..... Balcony/terrace was the saving grace for this villa as it has a beautiful panoramic view of Nerja, sea and mountains with amazing sunrise and sunsets every day. Also very peaceful and quiet which is what I was looking for. No wifi.

Peaceful, pretty, perfect
If you are looking to stay somewhere in Nerja that isn't right on top of everything then this is the place. It's about a 15 minute down hill walk to Burriana beach and 20-25 minute walk in to town. If you're not keen on walking then there is a bus that will take you to either to the Caves of Nerja (a must do) or the opposite way in to the heart of town. There are 2 pool areas, a restaurant and bar. It really is very pretty with white walls and beautiful flowers everywhere. When the San Isidro festival is on in May it's just a few steps away from where the procession of horse drawn carts, floats and folk in traditional dress pass through on their way to Nerja caves, where they have a big party and live music to celebrate the occasion. Just fab 😊

Perfect holiday
Having read the instructions for key collection knowing we could not get into 4pm we arrived a bit earlier and sat around the pool area very close by. Flight and bus travel were arranged so that we arrived during day time just incase we had any problems. All went very smoothly keys collect and then a nice surprise taken to the accommodation. Accommodation was just what we had hoped for and although it was at the top of the hill perfect for us the views were amazing . We walked down to Nerja everyday catching the bus back, stops are well placed hourly bus while we were there as not high season and no bus between 2 an 5 rest time but they did go on into late in the evening. Cost 1 euro. The area is beautiful just walking around the apartment areas with there lovely gardens is a joy. We didn't make use of the pool we enjoy walking and having been to the area before we already had our days planned. Nerva its self is a lovely area a must is Maro and Nerva Caves. The beech are all good lovely places to stop for coffee and cake or ice cream. We eat out every lunch time the quality and price of restaurant food is very good, choosing to enjoy our garden and patio for an evening meal. Supermarkets in the area are good with good choose of fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Surprised not a larger selection of wine but enough to choose from. Great to have fresh orange juice for our breakfast sat outside looking out to sea.Will return very soon .

Great views. Spacious. In need of refurbishment.
Apartment was in a great location. Not too far to walk to beaches, town and various supermarkets. Beautiful setting - very geen and well kept public areas, lovely views of sea and mountains. Apartment was in need of refurbishment particularly the bathroom/shower. No air con or fan meant it was very uncomfortable to sleep in. They eventually provided us with a small fan and we also bought one for 20 euros which made it a little more comfortable. Lovely pools but unable to use. We were warned by another guest that there was too much chlorine in water and it was turning bikins green. My daughter now has a white bikini with yellow/green patches all over it!

Nerja villa
The El Capistrano development is on the hillside overlooking Nerja. This was our first time back since 2001. The development had been well maintained. The villa was cheap but I would rather have paid a little more to get nicer bathrooms and better beds/sheets. Our villa had a nice kitchen/living area and a good sized balcony but the bathrooms were pretty grotty and need to be modernised. I'd only recommend staying in El Capistrano if you have a car otherwise it would be a pain to get to the beach and into town for dinner.

5 night break away. El C Sur is a complex of apartments, townhouses etc rather than a hotel which was ideal for us, we stayed there last year and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful break. It is up a hill so not ideal for those with walking difficulties. Reception staff are very helpful but limited opening hours, small store, lovely cave bar, restaurant & there is a large supermarket within walking distance for everything else. Nerja town is walkable with lovely bars and restaurants. All in all a lovely place to stay or even just to visit

We stayed in a 2 bedroomed villa at El Capistrano village complex. The villa had it's own private garden. The balcony from the living room looked out over Nerja to the sea. The lawns, olive and lemon trees, shrubs and flower beds surrounding the villa were beautifully kept. The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English.

Capistrano village is lovely
The village is beautifully kept with many privately own apartments, town houses and villa's. Many nationalities which made it a pleasing mix. Small local convenience store on site but a large supermarket within easy walking distance. Local bus every hour and plenty of taxis to hand. The village is on a hillside but manageable, 15 min strole down to town, slightly longer on the way back up!. Pools looked well maintained although due to exploring after hiring a car we never actually used the facilities. 20 euro deposit gave you the pool pass (returned on checkout) but there is s fee for the sunbeds. Restaurant by the pool was very friendly albeit quite, but here you could access WiFi which was not available in the accommodation, food was ok and drinks very reasonable. The local bar 'the Cave' was lovely and appeared very popular, food was available although we did not eat here, would recommend booking a table as many seem to do this which makes seating just for drinks tight, drinks again very reasonably priced. The house we were allocated (after booking an apartment, nice surprise indeed) was lovely, clean and spacious, albeit a little tired around the edges, kitchen was adequate but again tired and could do with updating. Small electric stove with a stove top kettle, so leave plenty of time when making a cup of coffee and you will be fine. No hairdryer, was not a problem for us but maybe would be for some so pack a small travel one and problem solved. Highly recommended.

Beware of Non-disclosures and lack of details
The hotel and hotels.com neglect to mention that these villas have no air conditioners. The villas are beautiful and clean but when it feels like you are in an oven and you are trying to sleep a small fan just is not sufficient. Also, they advertise free wifi and parking. What they don't tell you is that the wifi is only near the reception area and pool. Again,these are villas that expand across blocks so you may have to walk blocks to the reception area to get the wifi. As for the parking, it's free because you park in the street and if you are lucky you will find something near by if not you have a lot of walking to do to get to your villa. As mentioned, the villas are really cute and clean but NO air conditioning. We had a reservation for two nights and after spending that horrible night we wanted to get a refund for the second night but the hotel would not give us the money back. Long story short we lost the money for the second night and had to pay the second night at another hotel. Totally unnecessary and it was all due to non-disclosure by both the Capristrano Sur Villas and hotels.com.

Beautiful getaway but beware of the siesta!
The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, a true getaway in a quiet area of Nerja. Lots of people suggest paying €60pp to get a taxi but you can get a 10 min train (€1.80) and then an hours coach (€5) to right outside the village. Takes a bit longer but you get all that extra sending money! We were in the lower part of the village so the hill that others have mentioned was not so bad to put me off returning. It is a more of a village with various 'districts' than a hotel, which makes it a lovely place to stay as you don't just feel like you're in another typical hotel. We had a 1 bedroom apartment with terrace, small kitchenette, very comfy beds and sofa. There is a market on Tuesdays about 10 minutes walk up the hill. Well worth a visit. It is a 15 min walk to Burriana Beach, From there you can walk along the front, on and off beaches, to the Balcon. Julie's is a wonderful place to eat - the owner sings, plays guitar, hums away whilst serving you. Delicious tapas and sangria...do stop by! The 2 negative points... - We arrived at 3pm. We had no idea they took a 4 hour siesta from 12-4 so we had a 1 hour wait, not too bad as we sat by the pool, but be aware so you know if you can check in. - you need a pool pass which you can't get until you have checked in. You then have to pay extra to use the sun loungers and these are owned by someone other than the hotel, so they may or may not turn up to open for the day. It is totally random!

Apartment stay
We knew El Capistrano was up the hill from downtown so this wasn't a concern. The front desk staff were very helpful. The write up for this property said wifi was included .... It was but you could only receive a signal if you sat outside the main office. Was disappointed with this! Also, the front desk forgot to give us our pool passes and the office hours are very limited. We went to sit at the pool and were told we couldn't enter without a pass! Finally we were told, after making us feel very awkward, that we could come in this time but would need a pass for next time! Then we went to get a lounger and the cost was €3 per person to sit down. I can see charging on the beach but we were staying here for 3 days! A nice place but don't know whether we'd stay again. One last note .... If you are overweight you may not fit through the door into the tiny shower ... Was quite a surprise!
