Hotel Cantares (Nerja, Spain)

Villas are extremely well appointed with a high standard of furnishings and décor. The kitchen contains all the equipment necessary for the self-caterer.

Remember, accommodation and facilities vary because there are a number of properties in different locations. Wherever you stay, keys are collected from the Nerja based office. You will then be directed to your villa … which could be a short drive away. The registration process is fairly simple and the staff members are very helpful throughout the process.

Nerja is at the eastern edge of the Costa del Sol. It has a number of beaches and the sea is crystal-clear. The resort is protected by the Sierra de Almijara Mountains. Depending on the season, you could spend the early morning sunbathing and the afternoon enjoying snow and winter sports around Granada!

The villas are built with the intense summer heat in mind. It can be a bit chilly during the winter months, particularly as there is no insulation against the winter weather.

After a long and tiring flight, you register at the letting agent's Nerja office. Then, you have another journey to the property itself. It might be nearby, or it could be a few kilometres away. There is a further spoke in the wheel because, if you are arriving outside ‘office hours, you'll probably need to collect the key from another address. There are hurdles to jump!

Don't expect to be located in Nerja itself. You'll probably be a few kilometres away. OK if you have a hire car but expensively inconvenient if you don't. The local bus service isn't totally reliable.
