Casa El Faro, Mijas Costa Overview
Casa El Faro is located in Mijas Costa, Spain. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 15 guest reviews.
Casa El Faro is a non-smoking stay in Mijas Costa, Spain, set on Calle del Sol (91B), where the area’s coastal rhythm shapes the experience. With a guest rating of 9/10 from 15 reviews, past visitors consistently highlight the calm feel of the property and the practical comfort of soundproof rooms, which helps you rest well after a day by the sea. The outdoor swimming pool and terrace give you a simple routine for downtime, while air conditioning is a clear plus for warm afternoons along the Costa del Sol. Check-in runs from 04:00 PM to 11:30 PM, and the express check-in/check-out process is frequently appreciated when plans are tight.
For travellers who want flexibility, the property allows pets and can arrange car hire, and there are discounted offsite parking rates for those arriving by car. Inside, the setup is geared toward longer stays and easy living, with an apartment-style layout that includes a bedroom, bathroom, flat-screen TV, and a fully equipped kitchen, so breakfast and light meals don’t have to be planned around restaurants. Reviews also point to the usefulness of a safety deposit box and the overall quiet, with guests valuing the way the soundproofing cuts down on outside noise.
If you’re visiting for the coastline, you’re within a short drive of Fuengirola’s marina (around 8 km) and Sohail Castle (about 10 km), and popular outings like Bioparc Fuengirola (roughly 11 km) and Mijas Pueblo (around 14 km) are reachable without hassle.
