Book a Almunecar Cottage

"Close to the beach, nice clean rooms. Helpful staff. Breakfast at 8 Euros was a steal, although it does not start till 0800, depriving me of a chance to fill up for the day. Will stay here again."

"We had a room overlooking the beach which included a small balcony. I suspect that the views from the other rooms along the sides of the hotel were not quite so good. Beach access was easy - just cross the road and you're there. Mainly pebbles & coarse grit, with a few sandy patches. No problem renting a sunbed - plentiful supply. Several restaurants along the seafront, some good, some expensive. The evening buffet in the hotel was very high quality, plenty of choice, and even less expensive than most restaurants. Beach was busy but no rowdy occupants! This is our third visit & we will be back soon. "

"The hosts were very nice.However, when we arrived at the property there was an infestation of tiny ants. They were everywhere. The kitchen and worktops, the bathroom, lounge, bedrooms and some nights in our actual beds!The TV never worked, the kettle only got warm but never boiled (Juan replaced that) and the air conditioning didn't work until the day before we left. I suspect The owner put a timer on the handsets to stop us using it. Every day was in the thirties so it was uncomfortable especially at nights.There were ceiling fans but they offered little relief from the heat.We knew that access to the pool was via a set of steps, and in hindsight the ramp to the pool edge was steep ( no steps) and very difficult for people in their seventies to negotiate. There was a wooden handrail that was just stakes hammered into soft earth, so when you reached for them they moved all over the place. OK probably for young people to negotiate, but dangerous for the elderly like us. That experience meant we only ventured to the pool the once.I thought Juan might have offered us a refund of some of our money, but nothing was forth coming. Then that would never happen would it?All in all a very disappointing stay for all three of us.Elderly people should be warned about the pool access prior to booking though."

"Loved every minute of my stay from check in to check out. It was like stepping back in time to old style Spanish hospitality. Staff addressed us by name from the moment we arrived and couldn’t do enough to help and make us feel welcome. The owner, Mercedes was always on hand and the staff Miguel and Nando remembered the little things, such as what we drank. Rooms spotlessly cleaned every day and the sea view was beautiful. "

"Amazing view in this fabulous Villa. Everything you need and more. Will definitely be back."

"Great little place. Great location. Small but clean room with a comfy good size bed, fridge, and small but perfectly functional bathroom. Good value. "

"Lovely rustic hotel with a great room and view Staff helpful and friendly Great breakfast "

"We stayed at the villa as a family of 10. Gorgeous villa, with stunning views and good air in every room. Walkable distance from Almunecar, and taxis available if you don’t fancy the walk back. Spotlessly clean, and a great BBQ with seating and a bar. Welcome pack on arrival, which was a nice touch. We had fun playing pool, and table tennis. Useful to have a car to explore. Parking is on the side of the road, but this isn’t an issue. "
