This villa was absolutely stunning. Great location 10 minutes from Marbella, Puerto banus and la Cala. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and the service was great. The host was very helpful but also left you in peace. Lovely pool and beautiful surroundings and grounds
Two years ago we stayed in a chique hotel in Puerto Banus near Marbella and wanted to book it again during our seven day car trip in Andalusia in May 2017. The hotel was full however so we searched for other affordable hotels in Marbella and ‘discovered’ Villa Vida Mia where we would stay for 2 nights (12-14 May 2017). We admit that the modest price and the very positive reviews influenced significantly our choice. Unfortunately we lost valuable time to look for the hotel in Marbella as it was located outside Marbella. Finding the property happened to be a real nightmare as we could not find it, not even with a taxidriver guiding us. Maybe our old TomTom was part of the trouble but actually the street had no name on maps and gps…. Hopefully this is much better now. At first the location was not what we had expected, far from Marbella’s center and still at a reasonable distance from the beach (not 5 minutes as it is announced…). The next day, however, we stayed a full sunny day on the nearby beautiful beach with several fine restaurants where we enjoyed lunch and dinner. Our impression about the ‘long distance’ to the beach and the ‘poor’ location then became much more positive. Vila Vida Mia, which in our opinion is rather a good B&B, has a lot of potential to become an attractive place and for a very reasonable price. It has a garden, a pool, simple but clean rooms, TV and wifi and above all a friendly, sympathetic and energetic owner with a lot of energy to build up something alone. She is certainly doing a good job and we think that it will become a succesful project. One more remark: Villa Vida Mia received an extremely high score in the review (9,5+). The rating was done, however, by a minimum of only 9 people which means that this score should be interpreted as a statistically skewed result. What could have happened though is that 9 people (a group?) just had a great experience and were happy with their stay and gave a high rating.…
Tibi, the owner, is so charming and welcoming and easy that Villa Vida Mia could not be a more relaxing place to stay. No children are allowed. There is a lovely pool and a jacuzzi, lots of comfortable garden space with Moroccan four poster beds and sun loungers around. Breakfast is offered under a thatched roof in the garden but there is also a fully fitted kitchen which guests may use and a large and comfortable sitting room which opens out on to the terrace. We very much look forward t staying there again. Very easy access off the A7 (about 30 mins from Málaga airport, and 15 to Marbella town centre).
