3 Bedroom Apartment in Marbella Area

The reviews below are from past renters who have booked through my other website that I use. I would like to give you the link to it but I am not allowed to put links in for other competitive sites. I have therefore cut and pasted them from the site. If you want to see the actual reviews in the site then please contact me if you are interested in the apartment.

A truly stunning property

From the minute you open the front door, you know that you have made the right choice. You could not ask for more and I don't think a 5 star hotel would offer the luxuries that you receive at this property. The property is so spacious that you could easily accommodate two families without noticing each other! The master bedroom upstairs is a hidden gem, a fantastic escape from the kids or just a place to feel that you have deserved this pure luxury!
The views are spectacular and the tranquility unbelievable, yet everything is close by if you need it. In fact when you visit one of the many swimming pools, (if you tear yourself away from the over sized balconies,) you forget that there are other people on the complex!
The club house is a bonus and the restaurant serves reasonable but delicious food. The staff are so helpful and offer all the information that you may need.
My family and I cannot recommend this property enough, we were very sorry to leave and out of all the different apartments we have stayed in, this certainly remains the top of the list. We also want to say a big thank you to Gary and Sue who helped to make our stay perfect.
We hope we will stay again next year.

Christmas in El Soto

Review Submitted: February 18, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
The apartment is lovely and very comfortable with enough space for our family during the Christmas holidays.
We found everything very well done and loved having 3 complete bathrooms.
Being handicapped it was great to have the garage and elevator close.
You definitely need a car to go down the mountain to the beach. I found walking on the roads very difficult but the gardens and pool area are very accessible.
The clubhouse has a nice restaurant and very helpful friendly staff who spoke English.
Elviria is a cute little town with grocery shopping and pubs.
We all had a lovely time.

As regular visitors to El Soto, where we love the peace and quiet and beauty of the area, we would recommend this 3 bedroom penthouse. Beautiful views and equiped to a very high standard, the 42'' flat screen TV was a welcome distraction from the round the clock sunshine and we even caught a bit of Wimbledon! Next time we will even make time to try out the state of the art BBQ.

We loved our stay in this very plush penthouse aparment, the views from the terraces is like a picture postcard. When we opened the door the first night we arrived, we were going around with our mouths open, no cheap furnishings here, everything was at hand, even a cooler bag for the beach. We had a person in a wheelchair in our party and it is 100% accessible, There is even an elavator 2 meters from the front door to bring you down to the garage with its electric door. Complex itself very peaceful and relaxing and a 25min drive to Marbella City centre. Loved it.

Owner's Response: The property was fitted out with a view to us living there and hence it is furnished to a high standard with everything you could need. These reviews speak for themselves, the apartment is superb and caters for all individual tastes and expectations.

Spacious and Amazing Views!

Review Submitted: May 20, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
Located on top of the hill, 15 minute drive to the beach, this condo/penthouse has forever views that you can sit out for extended time and relax. Visited with our twin babies, daughter, mother-in-law and grandparents and had plenty of room. We felt very safe and most people in Southern Spain spoke English. Having twin babies we had additional needs which were met including a crib/cot, high chair and a cleaning maid. Good central location and we were able to take day trips to Malaga, Rhonda and other costal areas. A car is a must and would recommend getting a GPS also (some of the roads don't match up well with the tourist books/directions). We definitely plan on coming back in a few years.

I would thoroughly recommend this resort/complet/apartment to anyone looking to get away from Stress of living in a busy working/city life. This resort resort offers everything you are looking from a Holiday in the Sun and the facilities within teh aprtments are teh best I have ever come across in any Self-catering type of accomodation.

The whole-setup together with the location is perfect and has to be seen to really appreciate it. If anyone wants to have that perfect holiday they wish to remember it and go regularly then this is definitely the place

We stayed in this beautiful apartment in august 2007 and had a wonderful time. The accommadation could not be faulted.The complex is in a lovely location and is very well laid out with quiet corners to escape to and lots of pools for the kids to play in.There were 2 adults and two children in our party and we felt the enviroment was both safe and secure. A special mention to the people who run the golf club house as they were very friendly and most helpful.
All in all a high quality apartment and a lovely holiday.

Review from Peter and Betty - Shrewsbury

Review Submitted: February 3, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
What a great holiday. This was the first time we have spent time in Spain out of season and we were delighted with the results. The appartment is set in an excellent complex with plenty of well maintained gardens, facilities and stunning views. The appartment itself is first class, very comfortable and excellently presented. The local town of Elviria has plenty of restaurtants and is only a very short drive from the appartment. There are plenty of local attractions to see in the surrounding area and we enjoyed visits to the local beaches, the Alhambra in Granada, Marbella and the ski resorts in the Siera Nevada. The Owners Sue and Gary are very pleasant and easy to deal with and we are looking forward to a return trip in the near future.

We have spent one week at Gary's apartment. At arrival the agent was waiting for us with the keys . The apartment was clean , very nicely furnished and a bottle of good red vine waited for us. The apartment quit with absolutely wonderful view to the see and to the local golf club. The distance from Elviria center exactly 11 minutes by car. We were very satisfied and we enjoyed very much staying there .We will go back again. The deposit was refunded without any problem. Highly recommended.

This includes bottle of wine, chilled beers, bottled water, fresh fruit, cereal, milk, croissants, jam, butter etc to help you settle in until you get to the shops.

Review Submitted: December 28, 2007 Date of Stay: March 2007
A beautiful & spacious penthouse. Amazing views - you can see Gibralta and even Africa! So many pools to choose from and all different, beautiful gardens, wonderful clean facilities. Underground car park - no hot steering wheel! Even a lift to the apartment.Great walks from the aparment - orange & lemon trees galour! We were recommended this apartment and loved it that much we booked it again when we got home! Wonderful to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle, even though it is a short trip down the mountain - the best of both worlds!
Very much all you could ask for, a home from home. We went with our young son aged 12 months and again when he was 2.

A spacious, luxuriously furnished, immaculately presented duplex apartment situated high in the hills above Elveria. A wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars are a short drive away {Brown's in Elveria is great for brunch}. A car is essential.

The apartment was superb, spacious, well equipped and with great views. The El Soto complex was also superb with such well maintained pools and gardens. It was also much quieter than most developments we have stayed at
previously without the usual rush for sun beds in the morning.

We were recommended to visit this property. It is a luxurious penthouse set in the hills in peaceful surroundings, in the middle of a nature reserve, yet only minutes from the hustle and bustle of the coast with its beautiful beaches. There are many excellent restaurants in the area. The all inclusive facilities are superb. The panoramic views of the mountains and coast are magnificent. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we have now bought our own apartment within the development.
