Villa Maltés

Located in a remote/quiet area but easy drive to Coba de Gata, we really enjoyed our stay here. We had planned to do a lot of walking whilst here but due to some issues with my health I wasn't allowed, so we hope to go back and explore the area in the future. All of the staff here were great! So friendly and helpful, although not a lot of English is spoken they really try and engage as much as possible. The owner has recently taken over the management and running of the place,(his English is excellent) and a fair bit of cleanup/renovation work was ongoing during our stay which, judging by what we saw, is only going to improve the place. Breakfast was good but the evening meals were fantastic. We had planned to visit some restaurants nearby but after eating here on our first night we decided there was no need as the food here would be hard to beat and we'd have that 'Fear of missing out ' as well :) The wine choice is great and reasonably priced and my husband got to try some very interesting bottled beers, which he hadn't tried before, so he was also very happy. The one bed roomed apartment we were in (Room 10) was lovely, lots of space, very clean and comfortable with everything you might need if you did want to cook for yourself. The room also had its own private 'patio' for relaxing in the sun with a couple of sun loungers, a table and chairs and a clothes drier. Looking around I got the impression most of the apartments had this same space. So would definitely recommend an apartment as opposed to a standard room if possible. They also have a wonderful lady who comes in occasionally to provide guests with a professional massage. I booked in for one of these and it was excellent, just what I needed after a stressful time of late. I also got to see in one of their larger apartments (Number 5?), which was unoccupied at the time and this apartment was gorgeous with amazing views. A beautiful, quiet, relaxing place with great food and drink - looking forward to a return visit.
