Description
A spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment overlooking the sea, situated in the idyllic complex, El Faro. Just a 30 minute (30km) drive from Malaga airport.

“Lovely Stay”
My family and I have just returned from 2 weeks holiday in El Faro. The apartment is as expected, very clean and tidy. Well equipped with everything you need, including free Wi-Fi. Easy reach of the beach, shops and various restaurants. Steep walk back up to the apartment if you do go out, but there is a slightly longer, less steep road taking you to the apartment as well. Contact with owner was very easy, they replied very promptly to any questions. Lilli on site was very helpful as well. Only negative would maybe be sunshine doesn’t reach the pool area till early afternoon but it’s still great for swimming at anytime. Thanks for a great stay.

“Excellent apartment with sea views, near to the beach and amenities”
We have stayed here a few times over the years. The owner Helene is very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. You have everything you need, lovely apartment, sea views, pictures don't do it justice, it is very nice and homely, very clean, quiet residential area. A short walk (5 minutes) to a Hotel down the hill which has a taxi rank outside to take you to La Cala or Fuengirola. There are one or two nice restaurants locally, Colinas, walking distance, Dona Maria, walking distance both serve excellent food and the prices are reasonable. The Beach is walking distance, less than 15 minutes. Local shop near the taxi rank has everything you need for provisions, food, drinks, milk, bread etc and it also has sun lotion, hats, glasses etc. Playa Marina shops, chemist, bar, restaurants, 15 minute walk, good Indian restaurant, Punjab Palace again reasonable prices. This apartment is very nice and well worth the money, thanks Helene we are looking forward to coming back !

Response from the owner Hello, first thank you for your lovely review. Also extremely useful information!These are restaurants that I haven't tried yet. Lilly also who looks after the apartment is always available if you have any problems.Lilly just lives a few minutes away. Lilly if available can provide transport to and from the airport, so door to door service. Also the local beach serves snacks and there is a restaurant on the beach which has lovely sea views and the food a bit more expensive but quality is worth it. I hope you have the opportunity to visit again soon. Best wishes Helene

“El Faro Apartment”
Lovely sea view from the balcony and near to a couple of restaurants in 10-15 minute walk. Bus stop to Fuengirola and Cala de Mijas about 15 minute walk or 40 minute to each location if energetic along busy main road. One small basic shop within 5 minute walk and taxi site next to it. The apartment is spacious and has most facilities required in a budget rental including access to small clean pool area, this was not busy during our stay but very limited seating unless you have your own. The apartment offers reasonable value and has good WiFi with two bathrooms and large living area and lovely balcony. There is also a washing machine which can be good if carrying a small amount of luggage. The site manager (Lilly) is very helpful and shared the best local places with us. The owner corresponds quickly and allowed us an early entry after ensuring the property was ready. There is a beach about 20 minute walk but we did not use it as it is near the busy road, we went into Cala and Fuengirola instead.
