Lovely peaceful, relaxing villa
We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children. This property was wonderful, A well appointed kitchen and amazing views out over the valley. The outdoor area is lovely with plenty of choice for seating areas and a great pool. We used the BBQ several times and the undercover table was where we spent most of our evenings. A car is essential. We used this villa as a base to visit Granada, Malaga, and much more. We had a great holiday here and every morning as I stepped out the door of the villa the view took my breath away, some fantastic sunsets were viewed from the roof top villa. We all loved Villa Francis.

Lækkert hus i rolige omgivelser
Rigtig godt hus med et stort poolområde. Huset levede fuldstændig op til forventningerne. Der var god aircondition, fint stort køkken og fine værelser.
Der ligger 2 gode restauranter og et supermarked i gåafstand fra huset men man skal være opmærksom på at huset ligger ude i bjergene og derfor ikke tæt på byområderne langs kysten.
Lokationen var svær at finde. Vi brugte det vedhæftede link men blev ikke ledt op til huset. Vi kørte rundt et stykke tid og måtte have hjælp af lokale til at finde huset. Måske en ide at vedhæfte et kort med præcis angivelse af husets placering i intromateriale.
Alt i alt en dejlig oplevelse og et super godt hus.
