Outstanding - PARADISO
Villa Paradiso is everything the description states and much much more. The beautiful images do not prepare you for the views and the stunning landscape from every corner of the villa. The villa is on a small street very close to the town centre and is SO private. We were warmly welcomed by Susie (the owner) and encouraged to go and explore the Villa. Susie pointed out a few practical things regarding the Villa and wished us a happy holiday we were then left to enjoy the excellent facilities. Fridge and cupboards filled with "goodies" - everything we needed and more for our first evening meal including good wine and beers - even chocolate:) Apart from the pool the kitchen was our hub - so spacious with good seating. This set the scene for a fabulous holiday. Great heated pool with LOADS of toys for the children. Plenty of space to either sit in the sun or shade. Bedrooms beautifully presented. Nothing quite prepares you to sit up in bed with the French windows open and take in the beautiful landscape and the mountains. The Villa is so well situated for the town. Just a short walk up the hill and we were in the beautiful town centre of Benahavis - filled with little squares and excellent restaurants. We had a WONDERFUL family week together. Thanks especially to Susie before/during/after our holiday - always available and nothing was a problem. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We hope to return......:) Cecilia Horsburgh and family

Amazing stay
We were a family group aging from 1 to 77. The Villa met all our needs and having a heated pool was an added bonus. Benahavis village is lovely and only a 10-15 walk. It is quite uphill from the Villa, so would be a struggle for anyone with walking difficulties but we had a car so that wasn’t an issue for us. Suzie, the owner has been brilliant. Very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had before our stay and popped in a. Couple of times to check everything was ok. We hope to be able to come back one day.

Quality time in beautiful Benahavis
We were a group of 5 couples spending staying to celebrate various 60 th birthdays that were had during and after covid. The villa was perfect for our needs, lots of outdoor separate outdoor spaces for everyone to sit and chat or read a book and relax. The pool was so lovely and warm which really is a real treat. Susie was always happy to answer our questions and offer advice and the maxi bar was such a great idea and so convenient. No need to dash to the shops to stock up on supplies. Had some wonderful meals in the restaurants in town and enjoyed being able to stroll back downhill to the villa afterwards. Quality time in a great villa with good friends, good food and wine and beautiful scenery what’s not to love!

Wonderful home and host
Susie has thought of everything and it comes in the package of a beautiful home, immaculately presented and a wonderful base to explore the area. Susie was a great host, providing all the info we needed, letting us get on with our holiday while ensuring the pool and gardens were kept in tip top condition. Benahavis is a nice little village/town with enough places to eat that you can happily try somewhere new every day. If your looking for a good base to play golf, have time away from the beaches and feel relaxed and at home, this is an excellent choice. Thanks for you care and attention to detail Susie.

Just perfect
Susie was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. Her communication was great all through the lockdown years and during the holiday. Before we travelled she gave us loads of useful information. The directions to the villa were perfect. Susie met us when we arrived and was very helpful. The villa was perfect; very spacious inside and out and it had everything we needed, even toys and pool inflatables for our 17 month old granddaughter. It was also super clean and in a perfect location to explore the village without needing to drive. The village itself is lovely and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. We went to El Guarda 1926 where we all enjoyed our food and we found the staff friendly and accommodating. Los Abanicos was excellent and for a different foodie experience we loved the restaurant at the Amanhavis Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Benahavís. Susie goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests and is definitely a super host! Thanks very much, Susie!

Amazing villa!
Apart from everything about the villa being incredible, the up front information and service pre-arrival is the best we have received by far. The villa, pool area and gardens are all stunning. The villa is equipped with all you will need. Benahavis is 10 minute stroll away (although it isn't all flat) and is beautiful with lovely restaurants. Best overall villa holiday we have had.

Perfect Stay
Nothing that hadn't been thought of - Simply perfect. Our trip to Villa Paraiso was a special holiday for all the family. Villa Paraiso offered a luxurious stay with spectacular views and a beautifully presented interior - the perfect spot for any family wanting to enjoy the tranquillity of Benahavis while still being a short drive away from Puerto Banus. Spotless, spacious and with a picturesque view from every angle, Villa Paraiso not only ticked all of our boxes as a place to stay but also as a destination to visit. Benahavis is a pocket of calm, hidden in the hills from the bustle of Banus, with great restaurants a short stroll away from the villa. The heated pool was a bonus, with many hours enjoyed every day by both the children and adults. With a real home-from-home feel, all the basics were provided for in the kitchen, from bin bags to cooking oil. Susie, Villa Paraiso's owner, was a fantastic host who quite simply had thought of everything we would require as a family of 11. From recommending places to eat and explore to being extremely responsive to any questions our group had before and during our stay, Suzie offered great insight into the local area and provided recommendations for activities and restaurants. The 'river run' which is just opposite was a favourite and is a MUST for anyone who visits. As a family who always loves to visit somewhere new, we rarely stay in the same place twice. However, Villa Paraiso we simply couldn't fault, therefore we will be back again in the future. Thank you for a brilliant holiday!

Villa Paraiso met and exceeded all expectations!
A group of 3 couples came to Villa Paraiso to celebrate my 60th birthday The villa was just as beautiful as pictured. It was perfect for our group in that there were plenty of spaces to be on your own an get some work done or quietly read a book as well as fabulous spaces for us all to be together for morning chats about the previous day, take a swim, dine alfresco and ,of course, drink some yummy Spanish wine! We enjoyed wandering around Benahavis and had some great meals there. We also did day trips to Old Marbella and Puerto Banus which gave us a great taste of both "old" and "new Spain (I preferred Marbella) Probably our favorite find was Chiringuito Victors Beach which lies between these two Beautiful little beach where you can call and reserve beach chairs and umbrellas, have a refreshing cocktail made at the Tiki bar and have a delicious lunch of fresh seafood and other yummy offerings. The staff could not have been more accommodating (we went there 3 times:) Finally, speaking of accommodating Susie, Villa Paraiso's owner, was a dream to work with!! The information she sends in advance is unlike anything I've received from any VRBO property in the past. In addition, she is quick to respond to any random questions you may have both prior to and during your stay(and we had a lot given we were there during Covid) via Whats App It is a long journey from the United States but would definitely consider it again in the future!

Superb villa, location and helpful owner
We had a fabulous week at the villa. It is as beautiful outside as the pictures suggest. Pool, gardens lovely, plenty of shade and with spectacular views. The interior of the house is spacious and beautifully presented. Benahavis village is lovely - a ten minute stroll away and, having no desire to drive, we found it very easy and cheap to use Uber to get to the nearby supermarket. The owner could not have been more helpful and thoughtful in any respect - nothing too much trouble. Very highly recommended!

We were a family of 4adults and two children , the villa was perfect. Susie is an amazing host who couldn’t do enough for us , The place is super clean with all the kitchen / cleaning products you need , in the past I have taken dishwasher tablets as I begrudge buying a box, it’s all here and more. The pool is really warm which we spent hours in with the girls , there is even a dressing up box which the girls thought was wonderful. We had a really great holiday and may return which is a first for us as we never go back to the villas we stay in. Thanks Susie we had a ball !!

A fortnight of paradise!
This was a special holiday for my husband, myself, our 4 (now adult children) and their partners. An opportunity to spend some really quality time all together. The Villa and our wonderful host Susie were perfect. Lots of space, a beautiful view from every terrace. We had the luxury of having enough space to eat together as a family inside or out. On our second night we asked Jose the Paella guy to come and cook for us at the villa. For 12€ per head we had superb Paella. There are lots of sunny and shady areas in the garden - it was possible for all the couples to find some private space if they wanted some. Having the pool was a perfect place for becoming ‘children’ again. The weather was sunny and very warm so we had the opportunity to cool off whenever we wanted. The magnificent kitchen allowed us all to share in the cooking. The Mercadona a few minutes away by car was an excellent source for provisions. We had a trip to Lidl and Aldi on a couple of occasions. The youngsters enjoyed eating and drinking out in the village on several occasions. They were serenaded with guitar music, listened to an end of summer musical celebration - live music and impromptu art exhibitions were also available. On our last evening we all went to a cafe/restaurant called Luck. Carlos was a fine host and we enjoyed some very fine cocktails and very delicious food. He promised us a good evening and he did not disappoint. Cannot praise this beautiful villa too highly. For a special holiday it satisfied every requirement and Susie looked after us so well. It was literally a dream come true which will leave all of us some very happy memories.

About the host

Hosted by Susie

Host profile image
We were drawn to the inclusive Spanish family life were kids of any age are welcome any time of day or night and by the wonderful outdoor lifestyle and weather.
We know you won't be disappointed, Benahavis is a real jewel.

Why they chose this property

We drove in to Benahavis on a rainy day and just knew the village was the place for us. A little slice of heaven.
Villa Paraiso sits at the entrance to this wonderful village away from the noise of the centre, a very short walking distance to shops, cafes, bars & restaurants yet has an outlook of no houses, wonderful greenery and the most stunning view of the national monument of the rock escarpment.

What makes this property unique

Benahavis is a very well cared for white washed village set in beautiful mountains, yet you are so close to the buzz of the trendy happening places like Puerto Banus, Marbella and the coasts many beaches, beach clubs and Chirungitos (beach restaurants).

The village is great with all its restaurants, village pool, river swimming hole, canyoning, walks and award winning park by the villa, it is just simply stunning.

The combination of the village center just 8 minutes walk away, the river and especially the space at Villa Paraiso makes for a special holiday experience for all age groups.

Don't take our word for it, read our amazing reviews to see the quality holiday experience Villa Paraiso and our attention to detail, for those extra things that matter.
