What our guests say

“
We had a wonderful stay here with our family of four (two sons aged 11 and 6). The location was absolutely perfect — peaceful, tranquil and incredibly relaxing — yet only a short drive from the vibrant town of Fuengirola and its beautiful beaches. It really gave us the best of both worlds. The accommodation was ideal for our family, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of our favourite parts was the lovely outdoor patio: the perfect spot for a peaceful morning coffee while planning the day ahead, and later — once our youngest had gone to bed — a wonderful place to unwind with a glass of wine under the stars. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed and with some fantastic family memories. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful base within easy reach of the Costa del Sol.

I had a great time at The Secret Garden Studio. I'd highly recommend it to anyone travelling around the Costa del Sol region. The studio was a great place to stay, with all the amenities you need and a patio area outside with fantastic views of Fuengirola. The hosts, John and Livi, were very kind and gave some good insights into the best places to go. Would recommend to anyone for a short stay or an overnight hop.

We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful, clean and comfortable open-plan studio. As a single parent, I felt completely safe and secure staying here with my son. The private courtyard, air conditioning, en-suite facilities and quiet location made it a perfect home away from home. The beach was close by, the views were lovely and it was excellent value for money. We would happily stay again!
