"We had a very enjoyable holiday. We really appreciated all the thoughtful extras in the house. It was really comfortable and clean when we arrived. It was our first visit to Costa Tropical and we will certainly be visiting the area again. We just loved the feel of the place, the scenery, the flowers, the cobbled streets and the warmth of the Spanish people. Totally unspoilt."
Ruth, Nan & Marla, North Wales, Sept 09

"The directions to the house were spot on, found it without any problems. Very clean and tidy when we arrived. Had everything we needed, like home from home,. Very spacious lots of room to spread out. House 10/10, location 10/10. Thanks for a very enjoyable holiday."
George & Rita, Wirral, Sept 09

"We had an great time. The villa did exceed our expectation. It is well maintained. This is the first time I rented a villa, however, this time we planned a family gathering and decided to stay all together and it was a big success. It gives you a feeling of being home away from home. We all had a great time especially the kids. Thank you very much to rent us your beautiful villa."
Simon & Jeanette, Cheshire, Sept 09

"Really enjoyed our stay again, the house still looks immaculate. We found a few new Tapas bars. Had a great night out at the Ragged Rock on Saturday night. The champagne and flowers were a lovely surprise."
Colin & Marie, Wirral, Sept 09

"Spot on. We loved it. The kids loved it. The box on the terrace was like a treasure trove. Would definitely recommend Casa Velilla."
Simon & Donna, Tyneside, Sept 09

"We wasnt sure what to expect as this is the first time we have rented a private villa, but we were very impressed. The villa was beautiful, well looked after and had everything home from home. The surrounding area was lovely and quiet, the pools nice and we had a few good nights at Danny's Bar.
Reza & Nazim, Wirral, August 09

"Great location for exploring the Costa Tropical, I will definitely visit this area again in the near future."
Nick & Tara, London, August 09

"The reviews on this property really helped me make up my mind when I booked our holiday back in March. From beginning to end we were all very impressed. The property, the service, the beaches, the sun... We felt lucky to have picked the best one among all the others we were considering. My parents have stayed in 5star hotels with fewer comforts. All in all, we had an excellent holiday and will definitely visit again "
John & Nicola, Norfolk, August 09

"Just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our holiday made especially brilliant by being able to stay in your lovely villa. It was beautiful. If only the weather could be as great here!"
Judith & Eugene, Exeter, July 09

"What a great find. We had a smashing holiday at Casa Velilla. The house is excellent and the swimming pool & facilities are great. We would suggest a hire car is definitley needed to get up and down the hill and to explore the area."
Emma & Friends, Wirral, Jul 09

"Even with the weak pound we found that eating out was still very affordable. Much cheaper than Costa Blanca."

Fred & Pat, Cheshire, March 09

"We were quite pleasantly surprised at just how much warmer it was in Spain when here were frozen cold. A good break that didnt break the bank. Taking our holiday off season has really saved us quite a few bob. Would definitely recommend this place. No hesitation. "
Adam & Chloe, Glasgow, Feb 09

"Beautiful villa, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The weather was warmer than we expected. Only down side was that there was drainage smell in the top bathroom."
[Owners Reply: The drainage cover in the bathroom had come loose. This has now been tightened.]
Bob & Julie, North Wales, Feb 09

 "Great relaxing holiday. Villa was lovely and had everything we needed. Beautiful location and the views were amazing. Pools and gardens well looked after and Almunecar is a great place with fantastic food. Booked again for October"
The Abbots, Chester   Sept 2008

"Casa Velilla had beautiful views of both the sea and the mountains from the terrace and bedrooms. It was well equipped and had comfortable linen and furniture. It was close to the pool. It was very spacious and bright. The house was spotless when we arrived and very welcoming. I would recommend it."
Jans & Lieke, Nederlands   Aug 2008

"Had a great time, special thanks to Chris for showing us around Almunecar whilst the house was being cleaned."
Alan & Family, North Wales Aug 2008

"The house and complex were beautiful and well maintained. the views were stunning from the terrace which was private and relaxing. The top swimming pool was quiet and on a number of occasions we had it completely to ourselves. John the house manager was very helpful. The town nearby, Alumencar, was a typically Spanish resort with a lot of character and good places to eat. The only downside to the resort was that the town was quite a walk with the children though there were some good tapas bars near to the beach"
Richie & Family, Preston Lancs  Jul 2008

"Our second visit to Casa Velilla. Another enjoyable holiday. Not a cloud in the sky all week. Found some excellent tapas bars and restaurants, left the cards on pin board. Had a nice day out at Nerja caves and Frigliana, well worth a visit. Highly recommend Casa Velilla to anyone looking to chill out."
Colin & Helen Litster, Wirral  June 2008

"Lovely house, fantastic views. The local area was very traditional Spanish as yet unspoilt. Some really nice places to eat, The tropical salad highly recommended. Really taken with La Herradura."
Monica, Cheshire  June 2008

"Beautiful, airy, spacious Villa though at least a 30 minute walk into the main town. though good for working off excellent local tapas & beverages!"

Dr Paul & Helen Dunne, Gloucester, June 2008

"We enjoyed the house very much. Just one comment which is that I wish I had rented a car for the whole vacation. There was a tapas bar that we liked very much, I don't know the exact name but it is something like Ceveceria de Gambrinus, facing the stadium."
Toby Mendez, Canada, July 2008

"Have just returned from a lovely relaxing week at the house.  The house itself is lovely and has everything that you need - just like a home from home! The views from the house are amazing and the complex is very quiet and peaceful.  We were really impressed by how friendly everyone is in the local towns and would recommend a stay if you want to get away from it all!"
Cathy, Wirral, May 2008

Annette & Leif Hansen, Denmark  Nov 2007

"Had a great holiday. Impressed with the directions to the house. On arrival the house was clean and the facilities were excellent. Magnificent views. Went through a few bottles of Borsao. One complaint however was that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance work and the kids were so disappointed."
The Bracey Family, Buckingham  Oct 2007

"We rented this villa together with another family. All together there were 8 of us and found we had lots of room.T he facilities at the villa were very good, everything we needed, even beach towels. The storage box on the terrace was like a treasure trove for the kids.  The dvd collection kept the kids occupied at night whilst we enjoyed a relaxing drink on the terrace. Enjoyed our visit to the castle and Nerja caves."
John & Chris, Wirral  Oct 2007

"Beautiful house, had everything e needed. Very impressed with the DVD collection. Would love to come back sometime for a relaxing break without the children."
Julie & Andrew, Wirral, Sept 2007

"Our second visit, enjoyed it just as much as the first, Never get tired of the views. Some excitement towards the end of our stay when some freak storms hit the area. Almunecar was flooded with cars being washed out to sea. We parked up near McDonalds and had to dig the car out of the mud."
Graham Stubbs and Friends, Runcorn  Sept 2007

Roberts Family, North Wales  July 2007

"Had a very enjoyable stay with our friends. The villa was clean and well  equipped. The complex was very nice we had the pool to our selves most days. The views from the infinity pool are spectacular an the palm trees give it a tropical feel. Very relaxing. Enjoyed the warm evenings on the terrace drinking the local rioja. Went on a day trip to Frigliana, a very pretty village. The only negative point is that the master bedroom was very hot and would have benefited from air conditioning "
