The cities of Malaga and Granada will provide a most pleasant and rewarding day out, as well as Marbella, Puerto Banus, Torremolinos and Fuegirola.
There are markets all around the area on most days.

The Sierra Nevada Ski resort is two hours away, this is a fantastic day out during the winter period. You can spend the day skiing, and many other snow sports. There are restaurants and shops in the snow covered village and cabin lifts which will take you up the skiing areas, even if you do not ski the sights will be unforgettable. You can then return to the warmth of the coast on your way home and watch the sunset from outside a beach restaurant.

there are some highly recommended restaurants in the villages.

Torre Del Mar is the nearest beach Town Resort and is still very much a Spanish environment, the shops are interesting and well stocked. they are set back from the beach promenade which provides safe bathing in the day with many local restaurants and a unique family atmosphere of a night, with many strolling along until 2am in the cool of the evening. This unspoilt part of the coast is a firm favourite with residents and visitors.

Other activities to be found locally are mountain biking, horse riding, bird watching and hiking. There are a couple of local Golf courses Bavaria Golf 15 minutes drive, and Club Anoretta 25 minutes drive.

Exellent villa very relaxing.
This was the first time we stayed at villa francis,can't wait to return.EXCELLENT VILLA very comfortable,spotllessly clean and well maintained.Facilities in the villa where exceptional from the fully fitted kitchen to the board games,playstation and wii games for the kids.Very spacious there was seven of us five adults two children there was plenty of room. GREAT size pool the kids had fantastic time the non slip tiles where a benefit with the children running around.The sunroof is a must for sunbathing and great photo's with fantastic views across the valley. Just a short walk to the shops and restaurants with very friendly and helpful staff,if using barbecue would recommend the butchers,did try the restaurants in the guide book and found them very reasonable. I would definitely recommend villa francis to my family and friends.

Very good villa.
The Villa was exactly as expected so that was an accurate decription. The villa was clean on arrival and although we were early, all the cleaning was done. The aircon was certainly appreciated and all the appliances worked well. There were only 3 sunbeds, this didn't affect us with 2 small children, bigger parties may want to ask for me beds in advance. We never actually met anyone to do with the villa, we only had 1 problem, the pool filter blocked and by the time we came back from dinner it was fixed. An excellent villa and very well placed close to the coast but still away form all that touristy stuff and chance to be in real spain. The Hotel Vinuela is very good for food and very good for price. The none slip tiles around the pool were great when you have 2 small children running around.

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.

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.

Villa Francis is a must once you've stayed you will want to return.

LOVELY VILLA IN GREAT LOCATION
This is the second time we have stayed at Villa Frances, we have stayed at three other villas in the area and to be honest none compare. It feels like your own home in the sun. The pool is outstanding and the kitchen is fantastic. If you want peace and quiet this is for you, you are also only a short drive from the beach and shops. Well worth a try. Will definitely be returning x

"Villa Fantastic"
Our fourth year to this fantastic villa. It really is all you could wish for. It takes my breath away on arrival. It's always spotless, and so spacious and well equipped. The pool and terrace are all the website describe. To sit on the terrace at night with a Bacardi and coke and see the lights twinkling from the mountains is sheer heaven. The peace and quiet is unbelievable. A 10 minute walk takes you down to the local village, which has shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa to everyone. My idea of a piece of heaven on earth. Already booking for next year!! Jan T Swansea

Stunning
This villa is absolutely beautiful with everything you could possible want and more.IT was spotlessly clean inside and out I have never seen a pool glistening like this one we couldn't wait to jump in. There was lots of things for the children to play with inflatables for the pool water volleyball set to playstation2,draughts and even cards. The villa is very spacious with a huge kitchen fitted out to a very high standard. The perfect place to stay for a very relaxing holiday with just a short walk to some English shops and bars. we found the location of the villa easy the hypermarket was easy to find with a nice walks along the front. I would definitely recommend this villa to my family and friends.

Amazing villa
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the villa it was like home away from home everything you could possible need for a perfect holiday.It was my first time at the villa and my first holiday with my 2 year old daughter was a bit wary of the pool, but found the pool area was very child friendly with none slip tiles also we could leave the front door open safe in the knowledge that she could not get access to the pool or the road as everything was gated off. the villa was very clean and well maintained. I did find the information folder left by the owner very useful and I did go to some of the places recommended and found them excellent and good value. The villa location was perfect nice and quiet with English shops and bars within walking distance and just a short drive to the beach.would I recommend this villa to friends and relatives most defiantly, my only regret not booking for two weeks.

Superb Luxury Villa Francis ! Highly recommend!!
If you book this villa you will be well looked after as the owner was always available for guidance and advice and even arranged some milk and tea/coffee for us when we arrived late at night. The villa has everything you need and more ( space and well equipped) Weather was fab at the end of May ( 25 C) and pool warm enough. It was the most relaxing holiday we have ever been as if u choose u wont see a soul for days ( total privacy) and yet only 5 min car drive is bars and lovely Spanish social life. We also had lovely walk on the promenade at Torre de mar with 3 course and drink for 8 euros is a bargain !!! Overall highly recommend this beautiful villa and cant wait to go back !!!

Great Villa!
Villa Francis is a great villa and provided every thing that we needed for an un-forgettable holiday, the directions to the villa were very easy to follow which defiantly came in handy when we arrived late off our flight. I would suggest this villa to anybody who's looking for a great holiday.
