Pros: A beautifully designed, well maintained villa (just as you hope from the photos) which made it so easy to quickly settle into our relaxing Christmas holiday. Although we had two weeks of beautiful sunny weather, the unheated pool was a little too chilly for us to use more than once. However the steam room and open fireplace were great additions to our winter evenings. Loved the setting and location (stunning sunrises and ocean views can be seen from most rooms) and with a car (you do need one), it is easy to get to Granada, Malaga and the other coastal towns/ beaches nearby. Although off season - I think we were pretty much the only people staying in our road- the town and beach restaurants were open, the roads were clear, parking was easy and the atmosphere was relaxed rather than dead.
Would definitely like to explore the area further, and would happily stay at Casa Geniol again.
