Luxury Villa with private pool just metres from the beach in Elviria, Marbella
The stunning Villa Elvira with its 4 bedroom , 3 bathrooms and private pool is located just a two minute stroll away from one of the best beaches in the region, the Real de Zaragoza beach.
We have spent the last twenty years watching our boys grow up spending many happy Summers at Villa Elvira and recently took the decision to completetly refurbish the villa and gardens (finalised May 2018) and let others share in our secret, if the stay brings you half the joy it's brought us over the years you'll not go far wrong.
As the saying goes it's all about location, location, location ! Villa Elvira is located just metres from the beach in the ever popular Elviria district of Marbella in Spains famous Costa del Sol. Trip to the beach ? You'll have no need here to pack up the car, fight for parking space, and then worry about uncomfortable wet and sandy swimming costume drives back, you can just walk out the door in beachware and hit the beach.

Walking Distance
The beautiul Real de Zaragoza beach is located metres from the Villa. La Plage Casanis beach side restaurant and bar just a short walk away. The famous Nikki Beach with its club, bars, restaurants and swimming pools is a short walk along the beach. Vincci Estrella del Mar beach club, bar, restaurant, spa and gymnasium is five minute walk away (weekly gym passes are available) Jet skis, pedalos available to hire down on the beach close to the Vincci Beach Club. The Playwright Restaurant and La Scala two of the highest rated (trip advisor) restaurants in the Marbella region are within walking distance. Lidl & Mercadona supermarkets are within a 15minute walk but probably best taking the 3-4minute drive with those shopping bags.
All this very close at hand whilst based in a quiet villa where you can choose to have a night in, open a bottle of wine, relax on the roof terrace and take in the twinkling of the lights along the coast from Marbella town round to Gibraltar, the twinkling of fishing boats out at sea, or the twinkling starry night sky above, whilst listening to the waves lapping up on the beach!
Within 30 mins drive
A mere 20minute drive along the coast road is Puerto Banus, with its amazing super rich yacht filled port, numerous bars, restaurants, Night Clubs and exclusive shopping boutiques. Great place to people watch. Seeing Bruce Willis arriving on a Harley at a bar there once was kind of different. A visit to Marbella town and La Plaza de los Naranjos, quaint narrow cobbled streets, boutique stores, cafes and great tapas bars particularly down by the harbour area. Just a short 7-8 minute drive away, (walking distance if feeling energetic) is the El Lago michellin starred restaurant. I would highly recommend the tasting menu, truly delicious. Fancy a bit of shopping ? You have two shopping malls within easy reach, La CaƱada some 8 kilometres away on the outskirts of Marbella Town and Miramar about 18 kilometres away in Fuengirola. Miramar also houses a multiplex cinema which normally shows at least 2 films in (VO) version original...English. A short 15 minute drive gets you to Funny Beach where you can partake in Karting as well as a number of sea based sporting activities Mijas is home to the best water park in the area and can be reached in 20 minutes
Nearby golf courses ? where to start !!? there are so many, some recommendations, Rio Real challenging with some stunning sea views, Santa Maria golf is very close by (5 min drive) not the longest but some tough holes none the less, El Chaparral some really picturesque holes and Los Naranjos Golf club a little more expensive but the extra touches justify it.
30 mins 2 hours drive
Continuing on the Golf theme at approximately an hours drive are the championship courses of La Quinta, Sotogrande , Finca Cortesin and the venue for the 1997 European Ryder cup win, Valderrama.
Well worth a visit is the picturesque white village of Ronda with its Puente Nuevo, The Arabic walls, city gates and the Mondragon Palace and gardens. Don't make the mistake of seeing Malaga merely as your airport destination, the city is close by and is extremely culturally and historically rich with castles, cathedrals and museums a plenty. Feeling brave, enjoy hiking and love the wonders of nature ? If the answer is yes don't miss the "caminito del rey" at about an hours drive the famous and recently renovated mountain path will provide you with a unique experience. (head for heights required) Approximately two hours away are the cities of Granada and Seville. Granada's Moorish built Alhambra, one of the new 7 wonders of the World is definitely something to behold. The Parque Maria Luisa and Seville Cathedral the third biggest church in the World, and the bullring are among many sites to see in Seville and for the kids there is the Isla Magica theme park At around an hours drive is Gibraltar, you'll see it from the upstairs terrace but worth visiting little Britain with possible bargains to be had.

Modern villa with nice pool.

Small criticisms - sunbeds old and saggy, no egg cups, no oven glove, drain smell in upstairs bathroom and bedroom.
Small garden. 2 minute walk to beach (we even didi it in bare feet) . Sunshade and beds available to rent on beach. Warm shallow sea.
Our car( Ford Galaxy)did not fit in the drive but parking right outside on the street was easy.

Villa Elvera
Nice villa, well laid out and very close to the beach. Easy to get to Marbella old town and marina as well as lots of other towns for day trips. No need for a car if you don't want to drive in the busy traffic as Ubers are readily available. You won't run out of things to do in this part of Spain, we certainly didn't. The air conditioning broke the day before we flew which wasn't great timing but the owner and local management company did the best they could to get it repaired. We made do with portable units in week 1 and it was fixed for week 2. I thought that was very responsive considering the time of year. The beach is great and has a nice bar/restaurant literally 5 mins walk but it stops serving food around 6pm. Lot's of other restaurants nearby to go to and they are all pretty good. Some are really expensive. We paid up to 300 euros for a meal for a family of 4 on more than one occasion. There are some good bars down by the Marbella marina and in Puerto Banus. Beach Club at the end of the road is currently closed but there is another one nearby. The beach is fine sand and safe bathing. Beware the weekend crowds! Sun beds are available but lot's of competition for them. We went to the beach when we wanted a change but only to swim and walked back to the villa to soak up the sun. It's that close.
Overall a very enjoyable holiday but save up because this area is dear! Owners were pleasant to deal with and VRBO is a good platform to manage the booking on. I would recommend.

Great Potential but Reality Let it down.
Excellent location and availability of parking inside plot. House perfectly acceptable and fabulous outdoor garden/swimming pool area.
Unfortunately a number of things marred our stay. First was the pool heating that we had paid for in advance was not working and only came up to temperature the day before we were leaving. I complained to the owner about this and was refunded. It turned out that this was part of a larger electrical problem which resulted in power tripping causing all outside electricity to go off on a number of occasions.
The internet was sporadic requiring frequent re-setting of tv system and our devices.
However, the worst problem during the whole working week was the building work next door from early in the morning until late afternoon. This made it very difficult to be outside and relax as there were workmen making lots of noise and overlooking us.
On reflection, if we had been aware of the building work before our visit, we would not have booked.

Great location for beach
Lovely property for our family of 4 adults and two children age 7 and 5 who loved the pool and
short distance to the beach. Unfortunately, Monday to Friday between 07:30 and 16:00 approximately there was building work overlooking the end of the garden and pool so, lots of noise from cement mixer lorries, power tools with dust and the workers loud music and chatter. On booking we didn't realise that gaining entry to the villa was through a property business that was closed on Saturday so finding the lock box at their premises and returning the key back on our departure. Would be more convenient with a key safe outside the villa. But, thank you we all enjoyed our holiday.

We only wish we had found the Plaza area earlier on in the stay as this has a great range of choice for shops, restaurants and bars. As it was we fed and watered and entertained ourselves at the villa which probably saved us quite a few Euros. All in all a great week was had by all.

We had a fabulous time at this spectacular villa. The photos really do not do it Justice. The local shops, bars and restaurants are a 20 minute walk with only the Lido Beach bar on the door step which does not serve food in the evenings. Ubers are easy to use if you dont fancy the walk. The beach really is at the end of the road !!!.

Villa had everything we needed - beds were very comfortable. Pool area was great and the shaded pergola with dining table was used every day.
We didnāt have a car but used Uber to go into Marbella and La Cala and this was easy to do. Would have no problem recommending this villa.
