We had a super family week in Padre Aviles, which is a unique conversion in a stunning location in the hills near Malaga with views through the valley to the sea. There's a lovely pool and two tennis courts, but relaxing is definitely well catered for too! Claire is such a friendly, warm host who knows the area perfectly. There's lots to explore nearby - urban, rural and aquatic! We enjoyed our stay so much - we really managed to relax and recharge!

We had the most perfect holiday at Padre Avilés. Claire and David are wonderful hosts - friendly, welcoming and very interesting. Everything is here for a fantastic holiday - comfortable and stylish accommodation, plenty of space and quiet and with wonderful views down to the sea. So well equipped too, we will definitely be back.

We had a great family reunion staying in Padre Aviles
over Christmas 2025. The 5 converted stable units were the perfect setting for our group. We used one of the 3 bedrooms accommodation as the main house, which was big enough to house all 19 of us. We explored Malaga and the beautiful National Parks in the neighbourhood. Claire was a wonderful host, communication was great and she was very helpful with suggestions.
