The awe inspiring location of this small hotel is only one of the amazing experiences of staying there.
The accommodation is unique and excelled all expectations. The ambiance, food, service and facilities were excellent.
I have stayed in many hotels and self catering villas in and around Marbella over the last 20+ years and have never been more comfortable than my stay at the Urban Villa last week.
I will definitely be staying there the next time I visit Marbella.

The Urban Villa truly is a little gem in the hills above Marbella - everything you could want from a small boutique establishment The Urban Villa offers complete relaxation(!), yet is still only a few minutes drive from Marbella Town. We arrived with the intention of staying 1 night ... 5 nights later we regretfully left!! Having finally risen from our magnificent 4 poster bed, most of our days were spent on the sunloungers on our private balcony! In the evenings we ventured to our favourite restaurants and also experienced 'Casanis' in the heart of Marbella Old Town (on recommendation from Linda, the owner of The Urban Villa) - similarly we cant recommend this restaurant strongly enough now!! One of the evenings we opted to stay 'in' and had a light dinner on our balcony with a drop of vino - dining in the outdoor air as the sun set, you can't beat it! We were then invited by Linda to join her for a g & t on the terrace off the main sitting room - a wonderful evening of stories & adventures & in such a picturesque setting! As a couple that like to literally put their feet up & switch off on holiday, The Urban Villa IS the spot in which to do so!! We can't recommend The Urban Villa strongly enough! Best of luck Linda in your new venture - the perfect host & as guests, assured a truly memorable stay! Looking forward to returning very soon! x

The Urban Villa has amazing sights and we even managed to see the rock of Gibraltar so clearly due to the clear skies and the evenings were so special with the lights from over the sea in Morroco. Staying in the King Suite was so special and was such a great feeling just sunbathing on the private terrace, so picturesque with views of the cliff on one side & Marbella below. Breakfast was one of our favourite moment, chilling out on the terrace. Even though the villa is so peaceful it was only a short drive to places to eat and the host recommended some great places we would never have found alone. Luckily the owner emailed us a map to find the place as it is not on the beaten track. Overall a special place where we would definitely go back again.

We stayed in Deluxe Urban Suite for 10 days in 7-17th of August,2012. A perfect boutique hotel, with amazing views on mountains and sea and relaxed atmosphere all around the place.
BUT! Before booking we read a lot of positive reviews on hospitality of the owners, perfect service and home-alike attitude. Unfortunately, Michaela and Michael run out of the business just before our arrival, so Villa now has ner owners. Frankly speaking, we expected a little bit more hospitality:
1) The breakfast is awful, each day the same meal; moreover, each time we had to wait for it around 20 minutes (even if in the evening we asked to do it up to 9 a.m. we got it nearly at 9.30). As we had a car and planned a lot of trips all over Andalusia it was actually a problem. Moreover, we were always offered eggs just after we have finished the meal, not in the beginning - ???
Fresh juices were served only twice during the stay; other times we got juice out of the bottles.
2) In the middle of our stay some friends of Linda arrived in the middle of the night and became so noisy, that my father had to told them to keep silence (that was about 2 p.m.). It's not appropriate for such kind of Hotel.
