Bottom Line

The three-pearl El Capistrano Villages is an apartment-style hotel that's easy on the budget. Each unit on the property is individually owned so decor varies widely. The apartment complex is large with two outdoor swimming pools and a small bar, although the hours change throughout the year. There aren't any traditional hotel facilities such as a fitness center or restaurant, but there is a grocery store on-site. The tourist friendly town of Nerja and the beach are about a 30-minute walk uphill from the apartments, so a car is recommended.

El Capistrano Villages

Scene

Quiet apartments in a large village complex a half-hour walk to Nerja's city center and beach

The apartments are clustered together to resemble an Andalusian-style village, with whitewashed houses, cobblestone streets, and manicured lawns and gardens. Tiled staircases and colorful flowers add to the ambience, as do two outdoor pools landscaped with grass and palm trees, although the pools are closed half the year. There's a nondescript reception desk for checking in or picking up brochures of the area.

Location

Outside the city center of the coastal town of Nerja

The town of Nerja is a 10-minute drive away, making El Capistrano Villages a quiet and economic home base for a long-term stay near the sunny Costa del Sol. Without a car, expect a 30-minute walk uphill to the nearest restaurants, shops, and beach. The neighborhood surrounding El Capistrano Villages is residential and sleepy.

Rooms

Dated apartment style accommodations with kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms -- and in some, private gardens

The apartments at El Capistrano Villages are individually owned and rented to visitors throughout the year, so the interior and quality of equipment and furniture varies from unit to unit, although all are clean and quiet. All have fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, and separate bedrooms. Some have flat-screen TVs, washing machines, and private terraces with grills.

Features

Two outdoor swimming pools, a grocery store, small bar -- and varying hours

There are not many public spaces at El Capistrano Villages. There are two pretty outdoor swimming pools -- open six months out of the year, and there is an extra fee to use the sun loungers. A small bar next to one pool holds irregular hours. There is a convenient on-site grocery store that stocks European food items.
