THE LA JACARANDA STORY

We are originally from Lincoln in the UK but moved to Spain in 1999 with our boys. We bought La Jacaranda in 2001. When bought it only comprised of two floors, the living area floor of the villa and the bottom floor with two bedrooms and bathroom. We bought it with the intention of creating an extra bedroom for us and an apartment for my mother who was ill at the time. We knew as soon as we walked in the villa that the place could be spectacular. We even climbed onto the roof to see the views from there and immediately knew that was where the master bedroom should be. So work began and after a year the place was finished, pretty much as it is now. However sadly my mother passed away during the build so although she had been to the property and even sat under the tree in the garden, she never got to live here. We have a memorial bench for her in the spot by the tree that she claimed as hers.

As this happened during the build we turned the apartment into a large office for our business and at one point had 7 staff squeezed in there! We then moved to larger office premises and debated what to do with the apartment. We then decided to turn it into a holiday home and from 2002 – 2009 we rented just the apartment out for families to enjoy.

Meanwhile our children were growing up and our middle son got married and moved into the apartment with his wife and there they had our first grandchild and we all had a happy year watching her grow in such a beautiful place. However Spain was in crisis and neither my son nor his wife could get work so they decided to move to my daughter in laws home town in America. It was heartbreaking to see them go and as our younger son was moving to London we decided that the place was just too big for the two of us and it was time to move. We rented it out long term to a family for three years but after they left it in a state of major disrepair we decided the best future for the place was to share it with people to enjoy as a holiday home.

So 2015, was our first year for people to enjoy La Jacaranda as a whole. We knew it would be a perfect place for families, parties and celebrations as through the years we lived there we had enjoyed it all. We were proved right and had a very successful first year.

We hope that you enjoy the place as much as we did!

Reviews

One of the most beautiful villas we have ever stayed in. Incredibly clean and cared for with lots of personal touches all around the house. The views towards the sea are brilliant and the beach in Fuengirola is only a 15 minute drive away. Communication from the owners was brilliant!
Would recommend anyone to stay here and we are actually planning to return next year for a longer period.

Easy check in and checkout, good communication with the owners, clean and very spacious for a group of 15 friends, rented the house and apartment. We had an amazing and relaxing time at La Jacaranda!

We had an amazing stay. Debbie was more than helpful. The villa had everything we needed
and more. Couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend this perfect villa.

We had an amazing wedding at the villa. Breath-taking views and plenty of space for two families. Debbie was very accommodating and helped us with all our enquiries. We whole heartedly recommend it for a memorable time in Mijas, Costa del Sol.

Stayed here for 7 days with a family of 18 of us! The villa is in a beautiful location up in the mountains overlooking the Costa del sol, and only a short drive from the absolutely stunning Mijas Pueblo. Perfect for those who don’t want to stay in the hustle and bustle of the more touristy beach front parts, but equally, it’s not far if you do want to go down to those parts. I really can’t say enough about the scenery surrounding the villa, the mountainous views are wonderful at all times of day and even night time!

Just returned from a fantastic week staying in the apartment. Our hosts Simon and Debbie couldn’t have been more obliging, and made us feel welcome in our home from home. Accommodation very comfortable, well appointed apartment, games room fantastic. Close to local amenities, Mijas, Fuengirola and many local golf courses. Cannot give a better recommendation well worth the stay.
