Villas to Rent: 

Depending on the length of your stay and numbers/ groups, there is a villa near by to rent:
Finca Brisas del Cielo: This is 1/4 mile from the Quinta Las Colinas and sleeps 8, see: http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/spain/S17607.htm .
This has been given to us with a 20% discount on the prices shown, so if you would like to book please contact us.

Hotels:

 1. The closest hotel to the villa is located on the Istan road, about a 10 minute drive. Although this hotel is remote and you would need a hire car to get to the villa and coastal towns as taxi's would not be available. This is a good, basic and authentic Spanish hotel. http://www.losjarales.com/  Click here to see the hotel's distance to the villa. To enquire about reservations please email: info@losjarales.com. It has 14 rooms and the rates are:

- Double room per night: 45.50 Euros
- Triple Room per night 58.00 Euros

2. The next option would be to stay in or around Marbella, this is a beautiful city with both old and new parts. You can get to the villa in about 20 minutes by car. One that we would suggest is http://www.lavillamarbella.com/,, which is near the centre of town and the pick up point. But be quick as this is popular!

We have attached a link below for the Trip advisor Marbella Hotels and B&B's, again preferable depending on how long you wanted to stay and budget.
