About this property
Golf, Tennis, Paddle Tennis, Gym, 4 pools including heated
Luxury holiday apartment in the El Soto de Marbella golf resort includes 4 adult and 4 child swimming pools (closest to the apartment just 50 metres away) tennis, table tennis and paddle tennis courts as well as 2 boules areas, all surrounding the beautiful 9-hole (par 3) golf course. There is a golf school onsite plus a fitness centre and sauna. Marbella's origins are as a small white-washed fishing village, but has now grown to be one of the most cosmopolitan places in southern Europe. Its historical centre has a Moorish and Andalusian flavour, with narrow streets that are decorated with flowers and invaded by scent of orange blossom making Marbella definitely worth a visit. El Soto de Marbella is centrally located on the Costa del Sol, close to sea, mountains and all the entertainment you would need. In the neighbourhood you'll find the sandy beaches of La Cala de Mijas and Elviria and the beautiful ports of Puerto Banus or Cabopino offering water sports and outdoor activities. Nikki beach is less than 10 minutes away by car. There is an onsite clubhouse open 7 days a week. Close by is Kudu bar and Montebellu Sardinian restaurant both with fabulous views over the Costa. The famous German tennis school is also close by where you can have a coffee or lunch overlooking the courts and again with a super view down to the coast. The apartment is fully equipped with separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms, air con, wifi, private garden and large covered terrace.
The apartment has been fully refurbished in 2022.

Very nice area with a variety of activities like pool, tennis, paddle, golf and fitness all for free.
Kitchenware and sleeping facilities in the living room could have been better, but apart from this the apartment was fine.
First of all I want to say thanks to Rob for the privilege of allowing us to rent this great place. Booking and communication was quick and easy. Vicky who arranged check in and out was really helpful.
The property itself is clean, well maintained and exactly as described. The grounds were beautiful, with lovely views and also very well kept. It was very quiet and peaceful.
On arrival at the resort we went to the restaurant and sampled the lunchtime menu. The food was good and reasonably priced. We went back another evening and had another good meal plus a few very nice cocktails. On both occasions the staff were very welcoming and attentive. There is also a side room with a pool table.
I used the gym a couple of times and was very impressed with it. Despite being small there is a great selection of equipment for anyone to have a good workout. There are changing rooms with showers and lockers available plus a spa and sauna room, though its hot enough outside!
On the final day I got on the golf course using the clubs that Rob had in the apartment. Course is a very short 9 hole par 3 good for practising your short game.
Used the pool closest to the apartment which was fine. Didn't see the others which is a negative point as could really do with a map of the whole resort.
Notes for improvement: extra keys, disappointing about bedroom patio doors being locked, map of resort, more information/local recommendations.
Perfect for those seeking peace and quiet or those happy to drive

Great Relaxed Family Holiday
For the perfect relaxed week away we couldn't have chose a better place to say.
The apartment was immaculate with everything you could possibly need at hand.
We stay in El Soto at least twice a year and would not hesitate to stay here again.
Great apartment, great complex, great location and very importantly great hosts.
Thanks very much Rob

Lovely apartment and great views
A lovely modern apartment with everything you could need. Situated in a secure resort with views of the mountains and coast. The par 3 golf course, tennis court and gym are all only a 5 min walk. There’s some good walks from the apartment with great views of the area.
We spent two very nice weeks in this apartment. We really enjoyed the various free facilities and very well maintained. The apartment is well equipped and very clean. It was a quiet and sporty vacation. Thank you for the warm welcome and the quick responses.
C’était notre 2eme séjour dans cet appartement. Il n’y a rien à redire. C’est parfait Tout est très propre: l’appartement, les infrastructures. Il est très facile de communiquer avec le propriétaire qui répond aussitôt.
Nous avons adorés ce superbe appartement. Très bien exposé et climatisé 👌 la communication avec Rob a été très claire. La piscine à deux pas, au calme. Un super séjour !! Nous reviendrons très certainement une prochaine fois 🙏
Une vue magnifique sur la montagne. Un parc magnifiquement arborée. L appartement est tres propre et fonctionnel. Residence tres calme. Grand merci à Rob.
Hemos estado durante 10 días , la comunicación con Rob a sido muy fluida y rápida respondiendo a los mensajes dando la información solicitada.
La casa mejor de como aparecen en las fotos, me a encantado la terraza con un mini bar que a sido mi lugar de relax por las noches. lo único un poco peor es la plaza de garaje , si tienes un coche grande tipo familiar suv, puedes tener dificultades para aparcarlo, pero este no debería ser un problema ya que la casa, y las instalaciones de la urbanización son fantásticas.
Teniendo a nuestra disposición padel del cual disfrutamos, tenis golf gimnasio spa, todo ello incluido.
En definitiva hemos estado muy agusto.

El apartamento de Rob es ideal para una estancia tranquila y en familia , muy equipado , limpio y muy buena comunicación .
Las instalaciones son muy buenas y es muy recomendable.
Para volver sin duda !!
Rob is a great host and his apartment was fantastic, very clean and well equipped,
The complex had lots of pools which were never busy and we had a great meal at the clubhouse which was reasonably priced.
We had a great holiday and will be looking to return in the future.
This was our second time in this apartment and third time at El Soto. We like the place. Apartment is spacious, nicely decorated and recently renovated. The owner is very helpful and answers quickly to any questions you might have. El Soto offers many things to do and near by you have many 18 holes golf courses. Beach is 15min drive away. Supermarkets and restaurants are 10min drive away. And the drive up to El Soto is worth every minute. The view is breathtaking.

Wonderful place
We spent three weeks here in July. Everything in the apartment is as discribed. The owner has a quick response to every question you have. Check-in was done smoothly as well as check out. Thanks Rob, Peter and Jennie. We felt we were very well looked after.
El Soto is a peaceful place to spend holiday. It's worth the drive up the hill. The view is amazing. Open and beautiful.
We can highly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate a second to book it again.

Superb break!
What a glorious apartment! We arrived at night, it was very dark so we eagerly awaited morning so we could put the shutters up and oh my goodness the view of the sunrise from the terrace was beautiful! The apartment itself was spotless, and felt very luxurious. There was everything we needed. We visited the clubhouse several times to be warmly greeted by very polite, friendly staff. The food was lovely. The service was great. They sell water and a few other bits if you can't be bothered going to the supermarket. The grounds were well cared for and the little paths meandering through the complex were well lit. We were a party of 4 mums who were looking for total relaxation and we were not disappointed. We relaxed by the pool most days, and found the surroundings very calm and chilled. It was straightforward to get a taxi into town, we did it once but preferred the quiet chilling of the pool! We would definitely visit again, either as a couple or another girly break it certainly ticks all the boxes. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely relaxing weekend away
Stayed here for a weekend break with some friends. Beautifully furnished apartment, recently refurbished to a very high standard. The complex is also of a very high standard, with spotlessly clean pools and very well maintained gardens. You feel secure thoughout as the whole complex is fenced and accessed through locked gates. There is a good restaurant and friendly bar in the centre of the complex where we had a good meal on our first night. On the next night we went to Elviria which is 10 mins drive or taxi where there are more restaurants and bars, also a decent sized supermarket.
A great short break! Hope to go again soon.

Absolutely lovely experience
Booking this property was quick and painless and owner response to any query, regardless of nature, was instant and helpful. In addition to help provided by the owner there is a on site agent Jennie who is brilliant and will provide you with any advice and help you need.
Property itself is newly refurbished and spotless with all the amenities as listed and is maintained to a highest level. There is a choice of activities and number of swimming pools within beautiful gardens. Club house provides meals ,and entertainment on certain evenings and there is a couple of nearby restaurants.
Within short driving distance there is large choice of shops and restaurants and some lovely beaches too.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a lovely holiday.
