We booked this villa for my hen do which was a group of 13 girls, every single person was blown away by this
accommodation! It was just stunning and everything we could have hoped for! The host was so helpful and quick to respond
to any questions we had before and during our stay! I would be back in a heartbeat!!

The villa was absolutely beautiful, clean, stylish, and serene. But the best part was the host! She was incredibly
responsive and always ready with great recommendations. Just a heads-up: the villa is located high up in the hills, so
keep that in mind if you plan to visit Puerto Banús often, as Ubers can get pricey. Overall, a peaceful and lovely stay,
highly recommended!

We stayed with my family on this villa for 4 nights in August. It was such a beautiful place. It felt like resort all to
ourselves. Maya was very helpful and very responsive with all questions we had. Her recommendations to local restaurants
and attractions were amazing! We did not want to be close to the beach and we were looking for quiet place with great
views. Is this is what you are looking for I highly recommend it. Mijas is beautiful town with beautiful streets,
restaurants and stores. Place is hidden, so make sure to follow exact address to find it. Will definitely be back!

Our stay at Villa Maya was AMAZING in every way. The villa was exactly like the pictures, even better actually, if that
is possible!! The house, terraces, pool, jacuzzi & views were all perfect. We could walk to Mijas village in about
15mins which was lovely & found a few hikes up the mountain nearby. Maya was great to communicate with & was very
helpful with everything. We will be back next year for sure!!

The house is stunning with the most incredible view!! Plenty of amenities and space. Note there are a lot of steps so
wouldn’t recommend for someone with mobility issues, and some of the rooms are down two flights of external stairs,
wasn’t a problem for us with older teens but might be if more smaller children.
The local area has loads of fabulous restaurants and plenty to do. Maja had loads if recommendations which were all
excellent including booking the in house chef for the evening.
Maja was the most attentive host I have come across right from place the booking to the day we left. She did everything
she could for us and was a delight to deal with, I would definitely book with her again!

What an incredible stay! The location was peaceful and full of charm, just a 20-minute walk into the magical village of
Mijas Pueblo one of the most beautiful places we’ve visited. The house itself was spacious, clean, and had such a
calming energy. You can feel it’s been loved and cared for.
Maya was absolutely amazing. She helped resolve an issue that wasn’t even her responsibility, which we appreciated
deeply. Her kindness and communication were outstanding throughout our stay. What truly stood out were the thoughtful
little touches she left pool floats for the kids and even dolls on their beds, which made them feel so special. Small
gestures like that left a big impression.
You don’t often find hosts who go the extra mile with such warmth. This place had everything we needed, and more we felt
safe, relaxed, and so at home. A perfect mix of comfort, heart, and magic. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend
it to others
We now call Maya our god mother, thank you so much Maya

A lovely property, wonderful host and an ideal spot for a peaceful family break where we could get away from it all.
Thank you

This villa is beautiful with absolutely amazing views. It was the perfect base for our hen party as we wanted to find
somewhere nice enough to spend a lot of time at and have people come cook for us etc. rather than going out lots. The
decor is giving ‘Love Island’!
Maya is the best host I have ever dealt with, she will go out of her way to help you whether that’s organising party
decor, a food shop ready for arrival, loo roll was dropped off to us the moment I mentioned to her it was low. She
responds to your what’s app immediately. This is actually the second time I’ve stayed here for that reason and I would
recommend to anyone.

This villa is gorgeous! Just like the photos, and the scenery is breathtaking. It is a bit far from the main town area
if you try to walk, and there isn’t really a sidewalk, so you may have some trouble with transportation. We
unfortunately were hit with bad weather but Maya did her best to accommodate despite the conditions. She is a fantastic
and thoughtful host! Highly recommend for group trips but recommend to have a vehicle.

I chose this villa to celebrate my 30th birthday. I was really worried about how it would be in reality, but as soon as
my friends and I arrived, I realized that my choice was perfect. A beautiful location, an incredible view, and super
responsive staff. They helped us with cleaning and were very attentive to all our requests.
It was the best birthday in the best place. I highly recommend this villa to everyone!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house fully lived up to our expectations and made our trip truly memorable.
The warm pool and hot tub were amazing and added an extra touch of luxury to our experience. The host was excellent—very
attentive and helpful, making everything smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this place and would love to return
in the future!

Beautiful villa in the Mijas Mountains with a SPECTACULAR view into the valley and at the sea! We were most excited
about the preheated and clean Jacuzzi and swimming pool! Many cozy outside areas for sitting, talking and eating. The
inside of the house is relatively small, and three of the six sleeping rooms are outside the main house and have
separate entrances. Overall, we had a wonderful time - thank you, Maya!

The view from the villa is outstanding, probably one of the best views in Mijas! The host, Maya, was exceptional, always
available and very quick to respond. Maya arranged for the housekeeper to decorate the villa with balloons for my
husband's 60th birthday and they were amazing. Maya made lunch reservations & arranged taxis. We walked into Mijas
Pueblo which took about 20 mins. The house is stylishly decorated but sometimes the design overtook the practicality
i.e. not enough sun loungers for everyone (although there were double sunbeds in different areas) and we had to move
furniture around so we could all sit together. The towels could also do with replacing as some of them had bleach marks
on them. There are a lot of stairs at the villa so not ideal if travelling with someone with limited mobility. The pool
was heated and very warm. Overall, this villa was superb but it probably needs a little bit of money spent on it (i.e.
to repair chipped tiles/glass ,etc).

We celebrated my son’s 18th birthday there, Maya set it up beautifully and welcome us personally. The house was
stunning, even better than the photos and we had a great time. Cannot recommend it enough!
