We had a fantastic vacation at Villa Lucia in Alhaurin el Grande. Villa Lucia was the ideal base for a perfect holiday. We came in very late from Malaga airport to Villa Lucia, we were warmly welcomed by HomeAway representative Mohammed and owners Teresa and Francisco even at the late hour of arrival. Everything was in perfect order and they had even prepared a welcome selection of fruits, snacks and drinks for us to get perfectly settled in. A fantastic start of our holiday.
Vi loved hanging out at Villa Lucia, in the beautiful garden with pool, the magnificent view of mountains, olive and orange fields and the calmness of the surroundings. We spent a lot of time trekking in the near by hills where there are many paths just a few hundred meters from the house. There is easy access to grocery shopping, dining and other entertainment just a block away in the center of Alhaurin el Grande, yet Villa Grande is placed outside of the the town, providing the quiet and calmness we were looking for.
To get to activities slightly further away, for examples shopping in Fuengirola, golf or trekking routes was easy with the bus services from Alhaurin el Grande. On top of that we were met with an extreme kindness from both Mohammed, who not only helped us with language barriers but also with booking of taxis and other practical matters. The host family, Teresa and Francisco, was amazing in their opens and hospitality. We were invited to a private pizza party with them. They offered to drive us to El Caminito del Rey for a stunning trekking day, and afterward invited us for a traditional Andalucian lunch in the little Pueblo Carreteraca. Absolutely fantastic.
We must say that our holiday at Villa Lucia and the area around Alhaurin el Grande exceeded our expectations and we can give our warmest recommendations to any family who is looking for privacy, quiet and calmness but still wants to be very active with outdoor activities during the day. Villa Lucia and the host couple Teresa and Francisco, creates the perfect settings for a great vacation.
Thank you very much from a happy family from Denmark!
