Testimonials

Casa Malvarosa
"Just got back from a week in Casa Malvarosa. What a fantastic villa, nice & quiet, great pool & gardens. We loved the "outdoor" BBQ area & spent most evenings there eating & chilling with a bottle (or three!) of wine. Interior was lovely & cool when we wanted to get out of the sun.

As mentioned elsewhere the many photos on the website ensure that you know exactly what you are going to get before you arrive, we certainly weren't disappointed. Booked a car with Auto Flores, good rates & no hassle. Would definitely thoroughly recommend & we will be back soon!"

Casa Lucia
"Hi Jan,
Just a quick to thank you for the excellent service you provided in organising the trip to Mijas. The villa Lucia was superb and we even got the chance to meet the owners, Juan and Isobel. The car hire was easily dealt with and went like clockwork.

I'll post the keys to you recorded delivery today.

Kind regards and many thanks,"

Casa Tartuffo
"Ola!

I have just returned from Spain, Costa del Sol. There were six of us who rented a villa from Ian Fishwick's operation, Mijas Villas. Everything about the experience was positive.

From the beginning, when I was shopping for the perfect villa, he took the time to explain features of the properties until we landed the perfect one for our group. His follow-up was timely and informative. His assistant, Jan is pleasant and very efficient.

The villa, Casa Tartuffo, was absolutely splendid. We were two couples and two singles. Each couple got a lovely "master" suite with balcony in the upstairs. The two singles had private rooms and baths with everything one could possibly want. There is privacy, elegance, functionality and beautiful views of the sea, the continent of Africa and the village below from every area of the villa.

We had a representative, Lisa, who took care of our every need. She was available to us throughout our stay for special needs and she was always there if we needed her. Since there is no phone service to guests in the villa and we all had US-oriented phones, she was able to provide us a Spain-oriented cell phone, with a card, to use while we were there. This was very helpful.

The suggestion I would give you is to definitely rent a stand-alone villa as opposed to a "unit" in one of the urbanizations. Mijas is were Ian's beautiful villas sit high atop a mountain peak overlooking the populous villages. This is where you want to be; otherwise, you miss out on the sweeping views and privacy. The road is a bit winding and steep, but worth it.

The beaches are lovely. We found a nice stretch of beach in Marbella where we could WiFi at a lovely cafe called "Garum." The stretch of beach in front of this cafe is clean, expansive and the grilled fish and cold beer you can have brought to your chair is excellent! Also, parking at this beach area is easier than most places.

The weather was lovely 11 out of 13 days we were there (March). The pool is beautiful, clean and the area surrounding it is very cozy. We used the outdoor grill often and enjoyed the big outdoor dining room.

We rented a minibus (Opel Vivaro) from Autosflores and were pleased with it as well. It was clean, mechanically sound and comfortable. Ian can arrange the auto for you as well, I believe.

I simply would not think of going back to that area without using Mijas Villas. In fact, I would plan to go at a time when Casa Tartuffo was available! "

Las Columnas
"Dear Janet,

I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic holiday my family and friends had at Las Columnas (w/c 8th August). The Villa is truely stunning and no matter how many times you looked at the incredible scenery the views never failed to take your breath away. Mijas was simply charming, and had so much to offer we didn't feel the need to go further afield. Our family and friends are quite fed up with us raving on about it!

Thank you once again, for making our holiday a success. I would be grateful if you would pass on our thanks and appreciation."

Casa Mimosa
"Hi Ian, Casa Mimosa is in an idyllic situation with magnificent views. The facilities are of the highest quality and the whole site has been looked after perfectly with everything immaculate and clean .The kitchen has all the mod cones you would expect from such a property. The outside eating areas and swimming pool are fantastic. The property is completely secluded.

It would be difficult to find a more perfect venue and only a few minutes by car for all amenities. Absolutely perfect !"

"I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa del Olivar. The villa, landscaping, vista, and especially the staff were exceptional. "

Finca Los Gemelos
"Hi Ian, we have just returned from Mijas after a wonderful week. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the villas were lovely - especially Los Gemelos. What a fabulous home you have and the pool ...... well, it couldn't have been better for the children. Our oldest grand-daughter Chloe, who is 7, learnt to swim without her arm-bands and was able to swim the whole length before we left.

There was only one regret and that was not being able to stay longer. Lisa couldn't have been more helpful so all in all the holiday was everything we hoped it would be.

With all good wishes,"
