We have just returned recently from a very enjoyable 11 day holiday in Mijas, based in Ian's lovely apartment which is exactly as described on the HomeAway website. Its location on the edge of the village is beautiful, with panoramic views right down to the Costa del Sol. The apartment itself is modern and spacious with large balcony furnished both for eating and relaxing. The interior is tastefully decorated, has a really well equipped kitchen, and a fantastic master suite. The swimming pool at rooftop level is a real bonus, - a lovely pool and an immaculately kept surrounding area with sun loungers and sunshades.
The apartment is ideally located, a steep but pleasant 5 minute walk into the village which, although busy with tourists, we were delighted to find has retained much of its character - we spent many hours exploring the myriad of cobbled streets and pathways and also took time to visit the local museums and the Contemporary Art Centre, all worth a visit. Eating out in Mijas was a real treat, given the range of cafes and restaurants and we also enjoyed doing some 'home cooking' using fresh local produce from the lovely municipal market on Calle San Pilar just a few minutes from the apartment. We didn't hire a car on this holiday but found the local bus service an ideal way to get around, both down to the coast (we enjoyed La Cala de Mijas) or to visit other locations inland.
Finally, but by no means least, we want to highlight the wonderful service we received initially from Ian at booking stage and then from Maite (and Bill) for their warm and friendly welcome and the wealth of information and advice they provided during our stay.. Given this lovely apartment and this level of service we would have no hesitation in recommending Ian's apartment to others looking for high quality accommodation in a beautiful location - we look forward to another visit in the future.
