Great location with lovely pool-area but very small kitchen
Overall we had a lovely stay in Nerja and in El Capistrano Village! The pool-areas are great and super close.
It was easy getting access to the apartment and keys, with well described maps on forehand.
The apartment was also good but the kitchen was tiny and unfortunately the table- and kitchen-ware was not properly cleaned. Also the beds were quite uncomfortable and we only got two duvet covers for 4 persons but OK for a weeks stay. AC was working perfectly and needed! The balcony was appreciated and also the bbq in the garden!
Thank you for a nice stay
We had a fantastic two weeks here. Great property in a good location up the hill. Swimming pools short walk down the hill and the chairs at the apartment were very useful to save on renting a sun bed. Easy to get to the local supermarket and beach at the bottom of the hill is walkable. Bus stop close by that takes you into nearby shops and Balcon de Europe and it’s only €1 each. Lovely view from the balcony and enough space for 5 of us. We used the bbq which was very convenient and the air con was very welcome too. Only point I would make is that you do sometimes hear people in the upstairs apartment coming and going up the stairs from the upstairs bedroom, but it was only living noise which is to be expected as surrounded by lots of other villas. Very nice and we all enjoyed our stay, thank you!
Situated in a nice quiet community a short walk from centre town. The residence was comfortable and household amenities adequate for vacation stays. The hike up hill was somewhat challenging especially if you have mobility issues. Bus stop close by was helpful.
I've beenf to Nerja many times, but this was my first visit to Casa Mariposa, owned by Pauline & Sean. The villa was lovely and very close to the main pool which was great (as our friends were all in the same village/ apartment complex.
Communications with Pauline & Sean were very helpful and they are friendly. I'll be staying again.
This is a clean, tidy & organised property. Smart & works well. Just what we needed & expected from staying locally a number of times before. Communication between us & the owners was excellent. Thank you very much.
We had an incredible 10 night stay at Casa Mariposa. The process of checking in was simple and quick, we had everything we needed and more. The views were wonderful, all facilities were exactly as we expected and the location was beautiful. We will absolutely be back, we changed to this villa last minute and Pauline & Shaun were quick to help us with the booking and it all worked out better than we had hoped originally so we are very pleased.
Thank you again and looking forward to returning soon.

We spent a wonderful month at El Capistrano. Everything was exactly as stated. We took several day tours spent time at the beach and were very fortunate to be in Nerja for Easter celebrations. Pauline was very helpful with many suggestions of places to visit and eat. If we had a concern she was back to us immediately. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wir hatten tolle Tage in Nerja. Tolle, saubere Unterkunft, nah zum Pool der Anlage. Bus in den Ort und an den Strand in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir sagen Danke!
Muy buen alojamiento en el que no falta de nada para sentirse como en casa. Un lugar muy tranquilo y agradable , aunque un poco separado de la playa. Un acierto.
appartement très agréable…dans un quartier résidentiel magnifiquement entretenu et fleuri.. commerces à pied plage aussi (env 20 minutes .. avoir de bons mollets est conseillé 🙃..)
Stayed for 6 during February and March. Communications with host first class, almost immediate responses. Accommodation had everything required for a good experience. Tiny thing a linen basket is needed in the bedroom.
Nice apartment, everything you needed was there. Lovely view from the balcony.
Unfortunately the pool was a little too far from the apartment for us and the main pool didn't open till 11am to hire loungers (3 euros each).
Pauline & Sean were very helpful and patient with our questions
Aunque el apartamento es antiguo, está reformado con estilo y es acogedor.
Está ubicado en un barrio tranquilo y con buenos servicios, pero es recomendable tener coche.
Aunque hay algunos detalles que se podrían mejorar, hemos estado muy cómodos y hemos disfrutado nuestra estancia en Nerja.
A lovely comfortable apartment. Just what we needed for a relaxing week in the sun. Just a few minutes from either of the pools but also located in a quiet spot.
The place was a lovely base, just outside Nerja centre. It has everything you need and is very comfortable. The balcony was a hit. Pauline was very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process.
I would just say that, with a baby and buggy, the place may be a little further away from the sea and town centre than some people might need. Fortunately we had a car so it wasn’t a massive issue for us so we were able to enjoy everything.
Thoroughly recommend staying here!
We have just returned home from an amazing 2 week holiday in Nerja. The apartment is lovely and spacious. There were 4 of us (2 adults a Teenager and a 6-year-old).
The apartment is well equipped including beach/pool towel, deck chairs to use at the pool, shopping trolley and a BBQ.
As stated in other reviews the pool area was brilliant (5 min walk from apartment), you can hire the sun beds for €3 or take your own chairs down which we did (2 deck chairs from the apartment). The pool side bar was fab especially for the traditional holiday (beer ‘o clock).
The area around the apartment is quite hilly as you are situated at the base of the mountain. The plus side of this is that it gives you incredible views of the mountains and the sea view from the balcony, however if you need to do a food shop which includes a couple of 8 litre bottles of water and you don’t have a car it could become tricky.
The supermarket at the bottom of the hill (Mercadona) offers a delivery service for €4, so you go round the supermarket do your shop and then leave it there for them to deliver at a time slot you have chosen (it’s a bit like Iceland’s services) well worth it if you don’t have a car.
The town and beach were both around a 20-minute walk (all downhill) and then we sometimes got a taxi back for around €8. The bus stop that is a few yards away from the apartment is just €1 per person and will take you to the town centre and there are some timeslots where is goes down to the beach as well.
We visited the caves which were very close to the apartment, we got a taxi there as we hadn’t worked the bus system out yet it was about €8. When we were done there, the local bus was outside for €1.15 each.
Finally we visited a waterpark there are 2, in the end we chose Aquavelis, they offer a free coach from the other supermarket (Supersol) at the bottom of the hill from the apartment, the coach leaves at 10:20am gets you to waterpark at 11am and then collects you again at 6:45pm. We weren’t sure if we would last that long however we did, the water park is brilliant, there is a wave pool and some fun slides, we went with a teenager and a 6 year old and was enjoyed by all. There are a couple of restaurants at the waterpark too. We booked our tickets online, but I think you might be able to book from tourist information in town.
We used Nerja taxi transfer from airport brilliant service,
Pauline was brilliant with any questions we had; We loved our stay! Thank you
This is a lovely spacious apartment. Very nicely decorated and very well equipped. My husband and I stayed with our 2 teenage daughters recently and really enjoyed our stay. It’s a bit out of the way. The nearest beach is a good 15 minute walk and it’s about a 20-25 minute walk into the main part of Nerja. The area is also very hilly. You can get a bus into town which only costs a € and a cab back was about £8. There is a lovely restaurant by the pool area with very friendly staff. Also lots of other restaurants near by. The pool area is very nice and well maintained. It was very busy as you would expect at this time of year. You can hire sun-beds for €3 a day. There is a life guard on duty. It’s about a 5 min walk to the pool area from the apartment. Pauline was very helpful and easy to contact before we went, answering any questions we had. Overall a very good experience.
We had a wonderful stay with are 3 children the pools were great! the house Is excellent and location great !! The owners are very helpful with any questions we had would highly reccomend and we hope to return soon.
