Family-friendly vacation rentals in El Palo, Málaga-Este

Great hosts, answer messages very quickly. The penthouse had a good location. Would recommend :)

We had a great stay at the villa. There was plenty of space for everyone, we loved the pool and surrounding areas. Gardens were well maintained. Hosts very attentive. All round fantastic stay. Thanks again for making us feel welcome.

My friend and I stayed at this beautiful apartment in May for a long weekend to see a mutual friend who lives in Elveria, so as I go regularly it is nice to find a comfortable place to return to, and I will! Bright and cheerful and immaculately clean, exactly like the photos. Isabelle provided towels and beach towels so was easy to come for a few days with a carry on suitcase. It is 2 minutes to the beach and a welcoming new beach bar at the bottom of the road. Nikki beach is over the road but did not intrude in any way, we walked on the beach every morning to find beach bars for breakfast and coffee (plentiful). The pool area was lovely with well maintained gardens and a pool bar for snacks and drinks, again very tranquil. All in all I would definitely recommend and go back as I have stayed in lots of apartments in the area and this was the best by far. All in all the apartment is well equipped with everything you need and you’re sure to have a fabulous time!

Everything was great. From the key handover at the airport to our departure. A highly recommended place for carefree holidays and the best location. Friedrich, Gabriele and Max

The accommodation is spacious and functional with a large and very pleasant terrace in the city, two large bedrooms with bathrooms, all accessible by elevator. If you like to cook, plan that there is no oven. However, the essentials are present for an urban stay and the very authentic mercado del carmen is a stone's throw away. Catalina and her son welcomed us very kindly, communication was perfect and the apartment was extremely clean, which is very nice. We had a lovely stay with family in Malaga!

We always like to give an honest review of the places we stay in as I would appreciate it from other travellers. First off Carols and his wife are great hosts. They are responsive and helpful. The location of this place is what sells it. It’s pretty much on the beach and boardwalk and very close to old town Marbella. Perfect location. Now a few things to be aware of. Not necessarily negative but I would have liked to have a heads up. First up parking. Yes there is free street parking but if you have any issues with parallel parking you will have to consider other options. The laneway is so freaking narrow with cars on both sides your collision sensors will be lighting up like a Christmas tree. Get the rental car insurance. Secondly since the place is on the main floor there is no outdoor seating so it can seemed closed in. Thirdly the bed is fairly hard and a double size so prepare for that if you have back issues. All in all very clean. Would recommend for a budget option.

We enjoyed staying at Ana's place, the apartment is modern and tastefully renovated. Everything was clean and smelled good. The kitchen had every kitchenware we needed, but be advised you need to bring your own cooking essentials(oil, seasoning, tea, coffee etc.) The view to the sea is beautiful and it is very close to the park. The doors and windows are not soundproof, but I have seen this is a common issue in Spain. So you can hear noise from the street.

Maria is an excellent host and the apartment is spectacular. I was well located. Meters from the super bright beach with a wonderful view. My pleasure. We will definitely be back

Had a lovely stay! Clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed with an incredible view. Near the metro, shopping area restaurants. Highly recommend!

Perfect stay! The apartment is large, ideally located and the view from the balcony is simply wonderful. There are several amenities and we have everything we need in this apartment (very well-equipped kitchen, everything you need to do laundry, etc.). The host is super nice and responds quickly. A 100% rating. I would recommend it in a second!

We really loved Margarita's apartment! The terrace is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views 🤩 Margarita was very responsive, and everything went smoothly. The apartment was spotlessly clean and pleasantly scented. Convenience store, bakery and restaurant nearby, less than 5 minutes' walk. The neighborhood is very pretty and peaceful. Beach within 10-minute drive with parking We would definitely recommend it. Thanks again!

Even better than it looks in the photos - so peaceful and relaxing. Being able to open most of one wall of the living room to let in fresh air was lovely. Really enjoyed sunrises, especially from the rocking chair. Wonderful throw blankets and bedding. Feels magical to be so close to the city and yet in the countryside. Be warned that GPS has a hard time locating correctly - we had a fiasco with Uber, but our hosts warned us and helped check-in go smoothly. Really happy with them as hosts and with the villa overall.

The house is very picturesque and comfortable for 6 people, the place is very quiet and close to the Caminito del Rey. Communication with Salvador was very good, the only bad thing was the Internet that didn't work but we had a great time

What a find! We have had the best few days staying in the most peaceful but accessible location. The kids absolutely loved the pool, this ment we could relax and not have to constantly watch the them as it was so well set up. The Villa is all you need for a home from home feel, so clean and well maintained. Only a short distance from a lovely seaside town for dinners out and the other direction the busy town if your looking for more amenities. The beautiful mountain town of Mijas is also a short drive, well worth a visit. Thanks Abe we had a wonderful stay and look forward to seeing you in the future.

An unbeatable experience! The house is simply spectacular, with a dreamy exterior: large, very nice gardens, spectacular views, an esplanade to park cars and a pool that invite you to rest and have fun. The space is huge, perfect for enjoying with family or friends without feeling cramped. The dogs that live there are adorable and very well-behaved, they don't bother at all, on the contrary, they add a special touch to the stay. We want to highlight the attention of Maria and Jose Antonio, who were lovely hosts. We definitely recommend this place one hundred percent. We'll be back for sure!

Lovely place, especially outside with outdoor kitchen and lots of places to sit in the sun or in the shade. Jana is sweet and helpful.

David is a charming and very helpful host, always ready to answer any questions. We had a wonderful time, despite unlucky weather. The house is cozy and perfectly adapted for all the needs. We were stunned by the views, and the garden full of vegetables, orange trees, and chickens made each morning a delight <3 Just make sure to rent a reliable car, as the road from Cartama centre to the house is quite steep.

I would definitely recommend this accommodation! We stayed with a large family, including young children, in this wonderful house and had a fantastic holiday week. The house is fully equipped with all comforts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves both in the house and in the surrounding area. The house is very suitable for large groups; there are plenty of spaces to gather as well as quiet spots to retreat and read a book or something similar. William is a friendly and respectful host, responds very quickly, provides good tips, and is very flexible. We would love to come back again! Thank you, William, for making your house available!

Great spot - close to El Chorro for rock climbing!

Superb ! Only about 40 minutes inland from the Costa del Sol and you are in a different world. Olive groves, mountains and white walled villages provide the fabulous scenery. Very well thought out airbnb, retaining its historic charm while providing everything you could need and more. The 2 bathrooms & extra w.c would make it the perfect property for friends travelling together . Excellent full kitchen with all you could need. Thank you Simon & Jeanette.

They were very helpful, even in problem situations caused by us.

What a stunning property!! So peaceful and a beautiful view! Matilde was excellent at communicating and so helpful at recommending highlights to see. Her and her brother Juan Carlos, who checked us in, were happy to help in any way to make our stay enjoyable. The property is at the edge of town so it’s definitely useful to have a car. Once entering the gate you drive up the driveway lined with mango trees. Matilde was happy to let us pick a few ripe ones and enjoy them😊 We loved having a swim in the shared pool, which we surprisingly had to ourselves. We also truly appreciated the air conditioning during this time of year. We would definitely recommend this property especially if you are looking for an escape from the busy city. We hope to stay again one day!

Really nice, clean, and spacious apartment in a calm neighborhood within walking distance or a couple of bus stops from the center. Café, restaurants, shops, and essentials are nearby. Communication was smooth, and Victor made our stay especially comfortable—with cold drinks in the fridge for our late arrival and great local tips.

We had a wonderful time at Dorien and Wims beautiful villa. Both are really responsive and helpful, when there are questions. Even though we had a few incidents it was easy to communicate and on an really appreciative and friendly basis. We loved the house and the beautiful nature around. It’s definitely mandatory to come by car because of the uneven and mountainous terrain but the instructions we got from Wim and Dorien have been really helpful and easy to follow. We stayed with a group of 8 and we had more than enough space for everyone and would definitely recommend to spend a calm and relaxing vacation at this amazing spot to recharge from daily life. We wish Wim and Dorien all the best!
