Holidays2Fuengirola Villa Mercedes

We initially booked the property for a group of 9 but the listing says it sleeps up to 15. A week before we arrived, I emailed the host to confirm 11 of us would be staying and only received a response 24h before our arrival asking for an additional 360. We were happy to pay but this could have been communicated in advance. We counted the beds and the property only sleeps 12 so beware if there are 15 of you! When we arrived, we checked in using a key safe but the keys did not open any of the bedroom doors. We contacted the agent and sent pics/videos but were told we had the correct keys and the caretaker would help us tomorrow (so we’d have nowhere to sleep). Only after a lot of back and forth for 4 hours did they eventually come to try the keys and gave us a different bunch. The pool is beautiful and gets sun until around 2pm, however there are not enough loungers for everyone. I raised this during our stay but didn’t receive extras. The property is also listed as having a bbq which is in fact a table top grill (smaller than a disposable) that is not suitable for even one person. Again I raised this but was told that’s all there is. The hob is induction but only one pan is magnetic so you can’t cook. The oven has no shelf and the kitchen fridge is very dirty (though there is an extra and cleaner fridge). The property is perfectly located a few minutes walk from the beach and train station but the property needs more love.

This villa is gorgeous and the location is perfect but the whole place is damp and smells. The fridge was mouldy and none of the air con worked for heat or cold air. The pool was too cold to get in, there is a huge hotel that has been built nextdoor so that blocks all the sun to it and it is not a saltwater pool as advised. This villa needs some tlc from its owners and it could be amazing, the damp really lets it down. We were waking up with wet sheets from it.

The villa is very central and within walking distance of everything. Restaurants, daily shopping as well as the beach are in the immediate vicinity. The Domicil is an ideal starting point for activities. The villa and bedrooms are spread over two buildings. Due to the design, normal at this time of year is the coolness and slight humidity in the house. Air conditioners with heating function are available, but difficult to operate without further instructions, door and protection switches. The very good beds and the bedrooms are worth mentioning. Unsightly and too contrary to the photos is the furniture in the kitchen as well as in the outdoor area. Here is a clear recommendation to regularly check the stability, stability as well as comfort and integrity on the part of the landlord. The kitchen is not well-being. The oven or the prepared food has burned once, the brownish discoloration on the outside is clear. Unusable without the missing baking tray. The refrigerator in the kitchen area is a no-go and is disposed of, it is full of organic growth. A second refrigerator in the dining area is available. The cheap kettle caused a short circuit when switched on. The equipment and comfort of the house is otherwise very good, the living room including the technology, TV, Wi-Fi etc. All in all, a nice stay and great location that we would book again with a good price-performance ratio.

No internet

Great location, right in the middle of Fuengirola, good for a family visit.

The villa is perfect for a large group as it has lots of space and is very spread out. The location is perfect as everything you need is on your doorstep and it's only a few minutes walk from the beach and train station. I was disappointed by the payment system, which was very difficult to use and company added an additional admin fee. When I queried this, the attitude was pay it or you'll lose your reservation. Check in was also very stressful as there was a burglar alarm with no instructions, so the police ended up coming. There was no house manual so we had to work everything out for ourselves e.g. how to work the air con, the recycling system etc. Overall I'd recommend the place but I wanted to flag the negatives.

This property is a little gem with masses of space and centrally located. I recently completed a stay with 5 adults and 4 children and it was just perfect for us. The pool is a good size with plenty of sunbathing space around it. The garden is large to the rear with plenty of space to bbq and sit out to eat. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, one being ensuite but there are two other bathrooms to use. Upstairs had a double bedroom. There is an entirely separate living accommodation on the far side with its own kitchen/bathroom. There is also an additional bedroom next to the games room with a shower/toilet located nearby. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking equipment and we have three large fridges to use over the whole property. The property is minutes from the train station and a large supermarket and the beach is 5 mins walk away. The villa is surrounded by loads of lovely local eateries but if you want something more English you can go right to the seafront. Over all and amazing holiday and would let hesitate to book again.

It was a perfect location for us in the city center. Easy to get by car.

Great Location and Great Villa Will be revisiting

The house is in a great location! It's literally less than a 5 minute walk to the promenade. Lots of amazing restaurant options nearby. If you're traveling with under 10 year old kids, there's a great fun park very close to the house. There's also a great beach that has a very kid friendly beach where the waves are cut off by rocks. Check in and communication could have been better honestly. I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and communication is normally a lot quicker. Seems like the easiest way to get a hold of them was WhatsApp. The beach chairs at the house were not the same as the ones in the pictures and were in very poor condition. Two broke and the plastic one hurt my niece. There's definitely a lot of plusses to this place. It's very family friendly. I'd recommend staying there .
