Guest reviews

Many thanks for a very enjoyable stay at the Gran Hacienda Florentina

Many thanks for a very enjoyable stay at the Gran Hacienda Florentina. Everyone in my party loved the house, and we were very happy with the chef service.

Daniel Baker
I would like to thank you and the team for an amazing couple of days at Florentina

I would like to thank you and the team for an amazing couple of days at Florentina, it was quite spectacular and truly memorable. We loved the setting, service and catering staff who were all super efficient and helpful. Thanks to you personally for stepping in and assisting us, we loved the villa and hope to return with friends to Casa San Bernardo next year.

Perfect for a small company retreat!

I recently booked the villa for a company trip away for 14 people - it was perfect! Plenty of space and open spaces for sessions we were running. The cinema room was perfect for presentations and there was plenty of seating everywhere in the house. We had a food shop delivered ahead of time which was perfect. Hessel was an incredible help and even was on call last minute to help us find a band for our saturday evening. The transport was on time and also a massive help for a large group.The property was cleaned each day and there was plenty of kitchenware for us to have our own meals etc.The pool, gym and outdoor areas were incredible and so perfect for what we needed! I would definitely recommend this property to any big group - its also super close to marbs! Hopefully we'll be back again next year! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Clare Dobson
Luxurious, well maintained, great view and service

Luxurious, well maintained, great view and service. It all starts with fantastic service (Hessel). Not only I got a great guidance throughout the booking, but he basically organized our whole event. Didn't ask anything in return. The villa is perfect. The photos give a good feeling, but being there is even better. We had a lot of fun with the indoor pool, cinema, Jacuzzi’s, and disco. I can recommend the villa's to anyone.

Paul Van Vuuren
The villa was great ! We all enjoyed our stay here

Iris Groemmer
It was hard to return to the UK after such a special week

What can we say - the 2 villas we occupied in Marbella (October 2nd to 9th) were absolutely fantastic - real luxury. We had a wonderful week culminating in Leah and Chris's wedding on October 7th where everybody had a brilliant day. It was hard to return to the UK after such a special week, and the temperature difference on arriving back in Manchester was a real shock! Thailand next time??!

Leah & Chris Parry (wedding)
Gran Hacienda Florentina once again has taken our breath away

Gran Hacienda Florentina once again has taken our breath away. Stunning and beautifully furnished Villa which has everything you could need for your stay, the kitchen is well equipped. More than enough room to accommodate 22 of us. The beds were so comfortable and huge! The villa is in a great position with stunning views across the valley watching the sunrise & sunset was magical. Loads to do without having to leave the villa with the amazing cinema room (this was a hit with everyone) the pool was stunning and the games room was well equipped we even had a party so the disco lights came in handy.I must say how wonderful the staff were, polite and helpful and kept the villa immaculate and well maintained as well as helping with some food preparation. They're an asset to the company and really made our holiday more relaxing because of all their help.
