About this apartment rental

Enjoy breakfast on your sunny south-facing terrace, stroll down to the beach and return for a relaxed evening barbecue in peaceful surroundings.

Casa Christabel is a beautifully refurbished one-bedroom apartment within the landscaped gardens of Mi Jardín in Benalmádena. With its Spanish pueblo feel, this hillside community offers a tranquil base for couples and families exploring the Costa del Sol.

🌿 Why guests love staying here

✔ Private south-facing terrace with BBQ and outdoor dining
✔ Peaceful setting surrounded by landscaped gardens
✔ Walking distance to Carvajal Beach, train station, bars and restaurants

🏡 The apartment

Casa Christabel comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests, including babies. The separate bedroom can be arranged with twin beds or a king-size bed, with a sofa bed in the living room for additional guests.

You will find a bright living space, a well-equipped kitchen and air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort.

The sunny private terrace is a highlight — perfect for leisurely breakfasts, an afternoon with a book or dinner from the barbecue. There are also views towards the sea and mountains.

Right next to a valley where we awoke to the sound of bird song. Everything we needed and - most importantly - excellent wifi speeds. So well equipped that it even had things we never use at home such as ironing board! The nearby train station was useful for getting to Malaga and other places when we didn’t want to use the car. Talking of which, parking was easy enough, although we weren’t staying at peak time. We hope to return as it suited our needs and the price was very reasonable.

perfecta comunicación con la anfitriona en todo momento para resolver cualquier incidencia a través de la persona de contacto que tiene aquí. cama muy cómoda. La unica pega es su ubicación, es imprescindible tener coche

A lovely relaxing holiday. Just what we needed! Everything on hand, a private patio to sit out on as the day ends. It is in a very hilly location though, so a car is a definite! Taxis are available and are very reasonable. The buses are at the bottom of the hill and it’s a long walk down. The train is also at the bottom of the hill but you need to climb more than 78 steps to reach the platform! We are pensioners so found it hard, but you youngsters will think nothing of it! All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the weather was excellent!
