Lovely warm welcome from Rosaria and Bertil even though we arrived later than expected on a Sunday. They are a lovely couple and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them. They met us in the village and showed us the way to the apartment and told us everything we needed to know. They had supplied bread, butter, cheese, wine, crisps, water, milk, coffee and also fresh mangoes, avocados and almonds from their garden and eggs from their hens which was fabulous as the shops weren't open until the next day and we were tired from the journey. The apartment is well equipped with all the essentials such as oil, salt, pepper, herbs, washing up liquid, loo rolls, kitchen towels, bin bags etc so we didn't have to buy them which was great as so often they aren't supplied. The apartment is comfortable and on the side of a hill with a lovely sea view and within walking distance of the beach and the supermarket via the dry riverbed. The beach near Chilches is clean and quiet. Chilches itself is small, but the white hill villages inland and the beach resorts are within easy reach by car and you can leave your car near the bus stop on the coast road and take a cheap bus ride into Malaga. It's a great place to stay for a quiet relaxing holiday and at a very reasonable price.
