Kid-friendly vacation rentals in El Faro

Beautiful villa up in the hills. Our host Pepe was fantastic -meeting us at a pre-arranged location and driving with us directly to the house despite a very late (2am!) flight arrival. The gardens and land around the house are beautifully tended and Pepe took great pride showing us around and we benefitted with fresh grown beans, artichokes, spinach, oranges, lemons….and of course daily eggs from the chickens! It’s approx 15min drive to the nearest towns/supermarkets and 40min into Malaga, but if you want peace and quiet in the middle of stunning scenery then this villa is ideal.

Shops, a couple of bars and restaurants in walking distance. Short 5 minute walk to the seafront and a nice boardwalk to walk along to Cala de Mijas and the other way down to a nice marina with multiple bars/restaurants and beaches to stop either way. Short 20 minute walk into Cala which is a nice small town. Good bus service on the main road below the property so a car is definietly not essential. Around 30 minutes either way to Fuengarolla or Marbella. We experienced no noise from the main road when sitting outside or on an evening in bed. Quiet area as opposed to Fuengerolla or Marbella which suited. Nice clean accomodation in a nice quiet setting. The outside area is very relaxing in a beautiful private garden setting. Franck was very helpful with advice before our arrival and came to see us to make sure evertything was okay and gave helpful information on the local shops. Left us to our devices but was on hand if we needed anything. Would recommend.

Alicia and Alfonso's apartment is wonderful and is just a few minutes' walk to the beach. We spent 7 perfect days in this spacious, very clean, carefully decorated accommodation with everything you need to feel at home. The terrace is very large with wonderful views of the flora and the area is quiet. Parking is very convenient. Alicia's service is unbeatable and she has provided us with very clear directions and useful recommendations. Thank you so much for everything Alicia!

"We had a great stay! The place was very clean, cozy and decorated with a lot of love for detail. Particularly noteworthy is, for example, the quiet location / the comfortable bed / the great view / the hospitality. The check-in was straightforward, and you felt welcome right away. We would come back anytime and would recommend this place. Thank you for the time!”

I would just like to say this place is amazing and juan is an amazing guy. He let us stay because we had a late flight and never asked us for a pen anymore. This has got to be by far the best place. I've stayed there on all my trips around Europe staying at Airbnb's. juan was so helpful given us a device where to eat where to go for Days out his place was so clean fresh and just felt like Home I will be definitely coming back to stay here and I would strongly recommend anyone who's thinking in the coming to this part of Spain to stay at this place my wife and kids after 10 days, don't want to go home all I would like to say to juan yes thank you so much and I loved staying at your place. See you soon.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

What a wonderful time we had at Casueña. Alicia and Jorge were so welcoming, helpful, friendly, and fun. They met us at the villa and showed us everything we needed to know, and then were always on hand for anything else we needed. The villa was so well equiped, including basic food, tea, coffee, and fruit to get us going. Also, on the first morning, Alicia and Jorge gave us a basket of eggs from their own chickens! We loved the beautiful furniture, artwork and ornaments which all added to Casueña's charm. Since the weather was hot we spent most of our time in the stunning garden and lovely pool. Beautiful mature plants, shrubs and trees made the garden feel magical, as did the many birds who visited including a familly of swallows. A short trip (about 2 miles) down to the village of Santa Rosalía provided a good supermarket (open every day), cafes, and restaurants. Thank you Alicia and Jorge - you are very special people and we will definitely be back to visit you and Casueña.

So hospitable and quick to respond to our questions . House was immaculate with plenty of space and really well equipped . Great location and we were allowed an early check in and a late check out . Would definitely recommend and we will be back !

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. Accessible to many different beaches and day trips, would highly recommend.

perfect place to stay with everything you could need

We really enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been longer. The accommodation was really clean and the whole place felt like it was new. We loved sitting on the balcony on the comfortable furniture and enjoying the stunning views- well worth the steps up to the apartment. Parking was easy and convenient once we got orientated and there was always a space when we wanted one. We would definitely return to the enjoy the comfortable and relaxing accommodation and the town was only a short walk away with great shops and restaurants to frequent.

Love the place! Highly recommend this host, she was really helpful

Fantastic place on the sea shore. Place is for people who want relax in the beach without many people around. We was traveling with baby, so it was great that you can fast reach beach or go back home. Also this is perfect place to travel around Andalusia as well. Safe place to leave a car near flat.

Impeccable! Borja is a welcoming and above all flexible host, he was kind enough to welcome us very late! Her apartment is very comfortable, very clean and the bedding is excellent! I can only recommend, we enjoyed our stay at Borja's place very much!

The apartment and the service were amazing! I will be back very soon!!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely apartment. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable with good view of the sea . Great location for restaurants and shops . Would highly recommend .

Had a truly amazing experience! The place was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, and all the facilities were exactly as described—if not better. Highly recommend it and would definitely come back!

Very fast communication, we loved the appartement, exactly as described.

This apartment is a rare find, and felt lucky to have stayed here. The host was extremely professional and made sure our stay was perfect in every way. Thank you.

Nice place to stay. You do need a car to explore the area. I was with a family with 2 children (8-11 years). The sea view is phenomenal! Received all kinds of tips to do in the area in advance. There is much to do in the surrounding area, also for children with this age. My kids top 5 (caves in the Nerja, Mijas, aventura climbing park, karting at Miramar and swimming in the pool! The contact with Alberto was perfect. Nice explanation in advance and responds very quickly (usually within 5 minutes).

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Joaquin's. Upon arrival, he was extremely welcoming, caring and professional. The apartment is superb, tastefully decorated and in excellent condition. Nothing is missing: the kitchen is perfectly equipped, the utensils are quality, the bedding is very comfortable, the storage well thought out… everything is there to feel at home. But the real gem is the penthouse itself, an incredible place, bright, quiet, with a magnificent view. Joaquin was one of the best hosts we've met on Airbnb: always available, responsive and very kind. A huge thank you also for carrying our suitcases on arrival, a simple gesture but so appreciated! It's a flawless one. We'll be back without a second thought. Again, thank you for this great experience!

Reme is an excellent host, and her apartment is exactly what the pictures show- Modern and clean with a fantastic view! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return again.

very beautiful place. walking distance to beach! kitchen was equiped with all necessary stuff. beach towel and umbrella was provided

The apartment was in a great location, with amazing views. Walkable to a lot of great restaurants and there is a little supermarket next door which is perfect for supplies. Host was extremely responsive and very helpful.

everything was perfect except the electricity power. I don't know why, but took hours to charge our phones. However, i believe owners would fix this issue. Definitely recommend this place 👌
