Maybe the first day starts like this: You sit in the shady patio under orange oleander flowers, blue jacaranda and red bougainvillea, feel the warmth, absorb the scent of the flowers, enjoy your first coffee and plan the day. In the meantime, the children discovered the swimming pool (10x5m) ("Mama, Mama! There are dolphins in the water!“) And the laughter vibrates through the house (~ 160sqm over 12 rooms, with two fireplaces and a heater for the winter months. Each bathroom has its own toilet and shower).
Maybe you first decide to do the shopping and walk the 750m through shady avenues up to the supermarket (Supersol). Or: The car can stay safely on the property, because many supermarkets deliver home beyond a certain purchase value.
After the purchases have arrived at home and some are stored in the huge fridge, you decide against lunch at home (the first day is too early to try out the fully equipped kitchen - see picture). So collect the children (now busy playing football in the garden) and stroll comfortably the 350m to the beach where you can choose one of 5 restaurants (see pictures).
The restaurants are popular all year round by locals (Spaniards and foreigners). The service is friendly and the selection ranges from fresh fish dishes to Spanish tapas to Italian dishes - plus fresh salad and great Spanish wines.
Then the children want to let off steam in the water and all they want now is to lie in the shade and look out to sea. Both are possible. Either now take a digestive walk to the sheltered bays of Puerto Banus (20 minutes on foot - see picture) or you can rent beach chairs and parasols on the San Pedro beach (see picture). Most beaches in the area have showers, toilets and changing facilities.
In the late afternoon (it's still hot) and back in the garden, lie under a palm tree (the garden is home to five palm trees) or up on the sun terrace (where bright green budgerigars fly by at eye level), or watch it Children in the swimming pool and maybe at the same time marvel at how the dark blue from the pool develops into a play of colors with purple and red bougainvillea, white and red oleander, yellow and orange roses, cacti (these bloom yellow in June) - and all of that under the light blue summer sky (since 2011 the sun has mostly shone continuously from January to November).
Meanwhile, the men sit with a cool beer in front of the 55 inch TV and watch a sports show (we have the normal German-language Free SAT TV channels and a DVD player, which may be suitable for children's DVDs).
Everyone has a lot of space here.
For the evening planning we have to offer: boutiques, marina, a department store (El Corte Ingles) and countless bars in Puerto Banus (20 minutes walk along the beach or 5 minutes by car). If you skip Puerto Banus and head for Marbella, you can explore the alleys of the old town of Marbella, meet for dinner at Orange Square (Plaza de Naranjas) and then try out the countless wine bars or maybe attend a flamenco performance. Or they stay in the villa and sit outside under the traffic light umbrella - in the background the illuminated palm trees (see picture), the swimming pool and grill delicious fish.
