Leave ReviewOur Stay at San Gonzalos
By Richard & Carolyn Benson on 04-Oct-2025San Gonzalos is an absolute gem of a villa tucked away in a very quiet estate San Nicholas. The view from the upstairs veranda is stunning, giving a whole panorama of La Herradura which in its self is beautiful. The villa is well equipped and has ample space for everyone. The pool is an absolute gem on those hot days and warm afternoons. The welcome back is just what you need when a full day of travelling is over ! The pool and garden are expertly maintained and the guy is uber friendly. The booking was so easy and David was a joy to work with ! Cannot recommend this villa enough it is by far one of the best villas we have stayed in !

Problem.

Absolutely Perfect
By Rod on 04-May-2024I'm only about a year and a half late leaving this review!! Apologies. I'm half Spanish and have spent quite a lot of time in Spain, however hadn't ever explored the Costa Tropical or the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and we did exactly that having booked to stay at San Gonzalos. We are only a family of three and our daughter was 3 years old at this point, we couldn't have picked a more perfect property or location. Absolutely loved the property and you could easily be very comfortable here as a family of five or six. We went at the beginning of May, weather was beautiful and we had a fantastic time, Pool was a little cool, actually perfect for swimming lengths, but a little cold to be just playing with the little one. This didn't stop her, she had us in playing at least twice a day! La Herradura is lovely, we didn't spend much time here though, as we went and explored different areas and Pueblo's every day, even got level with the snow at the highest point we could get to. Nerja is a very short drive and a very different beach/resort to La Herradura, however our afternoon in Competa was my personal favourite. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and also very helpful, they're choice of car hire company was also the best deal I could find. Thank you and hopefully we'll be back again. :)
Superb stay
By Andy on 27-Jul-2025Fantastic stay here for a week. The villa is in a great location within easy walking distance to the beachfront, restaurants, and shops of La Herradura. The walking return journey features a steep incline but only for a few minutes and you're rewarded with excellent views of the bay. There is a dedicated parking space at the villa too, if driving. Accommodation was ideal for our family of 3, plenty of space and all amenities we needed. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Our son spent most of the week in the swimming pool which made the holiday for us: well looked after, nice size, cleaned twice during the week. Great communication with the owner throughout and nice touch of a welcome gift on arrival. Thank you!

Good stay
By Mike on 25-Jul-2024As a family of four we had a really good stay. Communication with the owner very straightforward and prompt. The villa is clean, well equipped, in a good location, very peaceful, sun all day (with plenty of shade when needed), nice pool and modern kitchen. The only minor issues we had were ants, in kitchen and bathroom, but largely standard in southern Spain and relatively easy to keep in check with the right aerosol! And a few people parking close to the gate making in/out manoeuvres tricky on a few days. La Herradura is lovely and we’d definitely stay again.

Thank you very much for your review and we are delighted you enjoyed San Gonzalos. Ants are a perpetual problem in the summer months although a good dose of ant powder/spray normally does the trick.
Great holiday villa
By Imogen on 25-May-2024We have enjoyed a couple of visits now to this villa which is perfect for a relaxing family holiday. The pool is a good size and depth (probably more suited to older children), plenty of seating inside and outside, umbrellas etc to make your stay comfortable. It is in a quiet and peaceful urbanisation with lovely views, a short drive to the town, beaches, shops etc. Communication with the owner is very good, everything very well maintained, clean and in good working order. Well kept garden, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds!
