Amazing Vacation at Villa Africa

We went to Solheim Cup and stayed at Villa Africa. We were so excited about staying here based on the pictures and reviews, it didn't disappoint. Clif was a wonderful host and ensure we were comfortable. He also referred us to Chef Stefan who provided wonderful dinners in this beautiful setting. The villa was so comfortable and pool amazing that some folks decided to stay at the villa and watch golf on TV! Thank Cliff for providing a once in a life time experience for us!

Spectacular Villa Africa

Every other year our entire family vacations together and this year we all went to Marbella, staying at the beautiful Villa Africa for 9 days. Cliff, our host, was there to check us in and give us a tour of this magnificent property. He even secured a few special items we needed for our stay. Our family ranges in age from 1 to 70 years old and it really was the perfect property for everyone. The photos don't do it justice as the rooms are so spacious, most with en suite bathrooms, this gated property has a perimeter with lots of grass and lush greenery, a beautiful pool and a covered, outside deck that overlooks the pool. Everyone in my family said it was our best destination and the best villa we've had . . . It will be hard to beat for our next family trip. Thank you, Cliff

Beautiful property

Cliff is a super host, great communication from initial booking to check out. The property is so big you can get lost in it. Decent spec and beautiful location, a little bit away from peurto banus, and about 30 minutes taxi from marbella old town. Taxis are cheap and easy to access from bolt/uber. Would recommend this property to anyone, and will be sure to stay again.

Villa Africa 7 day stay hosting our Wedding and Pool BBQ.

Villa Africa… what a place! From booking, check in, arriving- Cliff the owner was excellent at providing information, even allowing to change our dates within a couple of hours of asking. The property is truly amazing! 17 of us stayed for a week and we did not feel on top of each other at all. The property is huge, with pool, large terraces, balconies/terrace off of every room. Large kitchen with everything you need if staying in to cook. Large games room was brillant. We hosted our wedding and a BBQ the day after, both for 64 guests, which could have easily taken more if needed. Front court yard and garden are huge. Cancelada village is lovely with lots of amazing local restaurants and couple shops. Will definitely be back in future for a special occasion.

The Villa is beautiful, luxury old style. We hosted a small wedding but stayed the whole weekend with the family and it was great experience. Rooms, kitchen and bathrooms are perfectly equipped with everything you need and best of all, very comfortable. Enough parking space for everyone and a beautiful pool/garden area.

Fantastic stay at a very special Villa

We stayed at villa Africa for our wedding weekend. Cliff was extremely accommodating and responsive. He helped us with checking in and was very considerate. The Villa is stunning, enormous, so clean, very good for a big group or family with a large kitchen and gorgeous grounds/pool. I would love to go back. I would highly recommend staying. It’s a really special property.

We all had the most incredible week at Villa Africa. The host, Cliff, whet out of his way pre trip and during the trip. He was helpful, kind and accommodating. The Villa was spectacular with gorgeous views and so much privacy and so much space for the children to get lost in their own play. We can wait to return!

Fabulous Villa and Great Location

Three generation extended family spent a week exploring the Costa del Sol from Malaga to Tarifa (ferry to Tangier) and even inland to Granada (the Alhambra), Ronda and Seville. Villa Africa was a PERFECT base. Pool was clean with plenty of covered outdoor areas, Cancelada restaurants were excellent, fun and friendly. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating.

Absolutely ideal

The photos of the property look great. Upon arrival it is even better than expected. Certainly has the wow factor and the place is astonishingly huge. There was no need to ‘pick the best room’ as each was just a big and nice as the next. The plot of land is sits on is massive with extensive front and rear gardens. The pool is large with a large patio area surrounding it. Perfect for a wine and cheese day… It was secluded and not overlooked making it perfect for a large group to enjoy themselves without disputing anybody else. Location is great as it makes for a peaceful stay and at the same time a short Uber trip to Puerto Banus. Taxis/Ubers had no trouble in finding the villa and can be requested for an almost immediate pick up. The host was informative and easy to converse with over WhatsApp. As a stag party (albeit slightly longer in the tooth stag party) it was literally the gold standard of accommodation that we had in mind. Would love to return for a longer holiday in the future with the family. In summary, pretty much every member of the group said to me ‘I think this nicest place I have ever been’.

Incredible.

If you get the chance, 100% stay here. The villa is huge, so much room and is spotlessly clean The villa is in a beautiful location and because theres only a few houses dotted around, you dont have to be too worried about noise or privacy. The photos dont do it justice. The hosts are so helpful and always on hand to answer questions. Taxis to puerto banus or lidl were easy enough to get and reasonably priced. The ameneties at the villa are plentiful and the beds are comfy too. We'd love to come back again! I cant recommend the property enough. Weve done several big grouo holidays, and this villa was by far the best.

About the host

Hosted by Cliff

We built our home in the quiet surroundings of Finca Del Lago, just outside the village of Cancelada, overlooking Los Flamingo golf course. The house is spacious, surrounded by large lawns and provides all the luxuries for a great holiday, as a home away from home. The house is a few minutes from the beach and Cancelada Village is approximately half way between Marbella and Estepona.
