Stunning, family-friendly private villa with pool, sunny garden & sea views

It speaks volumes to the quality of the property itself and the helpfulness of Phil and Karen that, despite the constant battle in the master en-suite bathroom with ants (with wings!), the record number of insect bites that we all received during our stay, the nine-hour water outage, the boars on the other side of the garden, and the bombardment of acorns from the large oak tree, we all had a wonderful time!! The property itself is lovely, and conveniently located (if you have a car). There is a lovely park nearby with an unexected nature reserve, which makes for a nice walk down to the coast (and a steep walk back up). The sea and golfcourse views are stunning. The secret garden with the lovely swimming pool offers a tranquil respite from the occassionally noisy children in the next-door property. Phil was always on-hand to help deal with any issues, and made a kind gesture to offset some of the issues we had experienced, which was very much appreciated. All-in-all, we would love to return, although maybe not in early October (to avoid the insects and acorns)!!

Just finished a lovely week here. A beautiful spot and a lovely house in a quiet location with views of the sea. Fantastic for a quiet and peaceful stay, can't recommend it highly enough. Phil and Karen were super helpful with tips based on local knowledge and could not have been more helpful.

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was very clean and presentable, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The host was always contactable and very helpful throughout our stay. The pool was lovely and the gardens beautifully maintained – we especially loved the charming heart-shaped tree. There was a great view from both the garden and the balcony, which made our time outdoors even more enjoyable. The rooms were perfect, with comfortable beds that made for a great night’s sleep. We’d be happy to stay again!

We felt very comfortable in the house. It has a very well-kept atmosphere. Everything was great: the location, the peace and quiet, the view, the pool, etc. The owners were always available, very friendly, and very helpful. We can recommend the house without reservation and would be happy to return.Best regards,André

Casa Batty is a lovely property containing all you need for a relaxing break. As the weather was very hot the air conditioning was most welcome. The pool is set in a separate private area and was always available.The local restaurants are excellent and we never had a poor meal. We had a car and this was essential as it is a long walk back up the hill! We would certainly come again.

We had an amazing time in Casa Batty and everything you need for a family with a 20minth old was provided. The garden and views were amazing. Phil and Karen left easy instructions to follow and were easy to get hold of when needed. Would highly recommend to families with young children.

Excellent property with all mod cons. Very quiet and relaxing. Car essential. Very good air conditioning. Loved the gardens and the semi-private pool (not that anyone else used it while we stayed). Phil is a superb host and was quick to reply to any questions and to make sure we had a good time. Three decent sized bedrooms, 2 ensuite and one family bathroom as well.

The villa is beautiful with great views and very quiet. The owner, Phil, is lovely and extremely helpful, he really went out of his way for us. Can heartily recommend.

Casa Batty is the perfect home away. Everything is just as described or even better. Phillip is the perfect host, who will do whatever it takes to make your stay here unforgettable. The location is excellent, in a quiet part of Calahonda, overlooking the very nice Cabopino Golf course. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful home!

A very peaceful and cozy place with a beautiful view, big pool AND super friendly and helpful host! ?

Had an excellent stay. Villa was lovely, great pool and view. Very peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend.
