We chose this apartment because we have a large dog, and the property was spacious, scrupulously clean and well located. The hosts, Gordon and Carol are very friendly and helpful; everything that could be needed is there. The apartment contains a porch, entrance hall / Kitchen, fully equipped; two large double bedrooms each with their own en-suite shower room w.c. Mosquito netting on the windows mean that you can sleep at night with the windows open and not be bitten! There is a large lounge /dining area with large screen satellite TV and a cd/tape machine for those who want to escape TV, a good assortment of novels are available also. The property is in an excellent state of repair, with good quality fittings and well crafted woodwork. The garden has a nice above ground pool and is attractively lit at night. On the opposite side of the road are olive groves so that your dog can explore and experience new smells! There is also on-site off road gated parking.
The apartment is out 5 minutes walk to the nearest bar/cafe and there are others in the village together with a local shop. Velez-Malaga is a short drive away and has international supermarkets there, Lidl, Carrefour etc. A little further on is the Eroski shopping precinct/mall with over 100 shop, and on the outskirts of Torre del Mar which has excellent beaches and restaurants, it also has a "Dog Beach" which is great because dogs are banned on almost all Spanish beaches, this is located beside "Camping 2". There is an excellent English speaking Vet in Torre del Mar for animals which need certified worming treatment before return to UK. They have an English website, and so cheap compared to UK ! Torre del Mar is approx 30 minutes scenic drive past the Vinuela Reservoir where you can practise water sports.
