There are four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, one en suite, and guest cloakroom. The living room and all bedrooms have independent air-con and heating. The living room is large and very comfortable, and includes an impressive (and in tune) Bechstein grand piano. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer and a full range of kitchen machines and equipment. There is a separate dining room which can be opened up for pool-side dining, and several outdoor dining and sunbathing areas. Upstairs there is a study with its own large terrace for working or sunbathing, complete with computer, printer, and a Reebok electronic exercise bike.

The villa is equipped with full Sky Plus HD TV (50"), including movies, sports and children’s channels, Astra TV, with hundreds of international channels, telephone line for incoming calls and free outgoing local and national Spanish calls to land lines. There is also ADSL broadband with WIFI and desktop computer, printer and scanner for your use. We have hundreds of English language books, including children's books, games, CDs, etc. which you are welcome to use. There is an alarm system connected to a security service. Twice-weekly 2 hour maid service and a weekly change of linen is included in the price, and a full-time English-speaking maid/ cook and baby-sitting can be arranged for an extra charge. A cot and high chair can be provided free of charge if requested. Our gardener visits regularly, and the heated swimming pool is maintained to a high standard. Casa Marissa is a family home-from-home in a residential area, so I'm afraid we can't accept stag or hen parties. Sorry!

Marbella Area: Marbella is a city dating from Roman times, with the remains of villas from that time at Rio Verde and Guadalmina. The town has a strong Moorish influence, with some of the original city walls and castle buildings still standing. The Old Town centre is Orange Square, a beautiful plaza filled with orange trees, bars, boutiques and restaurants, which is a favourite meeting place. The small streets of the Old Town are very picturesque, and a shopper's paradise. The Golden Mile stretches from Marbella town to Puerto Banus, where Casa Marissa is situated. It contains the Marbella Club, the Puente Romano hotel, the Summer Palace of the King of Saudi Arabia and many other impressive sights. La Cañada, a huge indoor shopping mall with a cinema complex, and bowling alley, is only 5 minutes' drive away, or the Puerto Banus cinema, also with English language movies, is a 4 minutes' walk.

.... Puerto Banus itself is 6 minutes' walk according to Google maps, and 5 minutes according to us (maybe we're fast walkers). Every Saturday morning, at the top of our road, you will find the famous Puerto Banus flea market. There is a promenade stretching almost the whole length of the Golden Mile. Selwo Safari Park is 15 minutes' drive, Mijas Aquapark is around 30 minutes away, and Tivoli World about the same. Our area is surrounded by golf courses, too many to list. Tennis, horse riding and water sports are also available.

Further Information: Casa Marissa is in a very quiet location, yet within 5 minutes’ walking distance of the famous yacht harbour of Puerto Banus, with its restaurants, night clubs, bars and boutiques. Malaga and Gibraltar airports are both 45 minutes’ drive away. The area is surrounded by international golf courses, and there are lots of attractions for children, such as Selwo safari park, Tivoli World amusement park, and the Mijas Aquapark.. This is a real home-from-home, and everyone who walks into the house falls in love with it. We've noticed that some properties are advertised as being Puerto Banus, when in fact they're sometimes 20 minutes' drive from the port, which is misleading to say the least. Casa Marissa is in Calle de Juan Belmonte, Marbella, so if you'd like to check Google Maps, you'll see how close to the port we are. By the way, we also have two other beachside properties within 10 minutes' drive of Casa Marissa, sleeping in total an extra 14 people.

How to get there: Fly to Malaga airport. Casa marissa is 40 minutes by taxi or hired car. Directions will be emailed when booking is made.
