I was the best holiday villa we have ever used. Maggie was wonderful and we will be writing a review on the website this week.

The villa was spectacular, very spacious and to a very high standard. We would highly recommend this villa to friends and family as well as returning ourselves. Maggie was incredibly helpful and always contactable. Fabulous time all round!
Gill Johnson Holidays we found to be very professional and helpful, they ensured we had our requests met at all times. We will certainly use you again.
Thank you.

Thank you once again Gill for helping to make this a wonderful holiday

There were 11 of us staying in the villa (6 adults and 5 children ranging from 10 years to 15 years) which had ideal accommodation for us and superb grounds and swimming pool. The owner Maggie was absolutely wonderful, she booked restaurants and taxi’s for us and made our stay a delight. I can thoroughly recommend this villa.
This was the second time we have rented from Gill Johnson and both villas have been a delight.

A beautiful villa, clean, well maintained and a peaceful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider booking again - Denise Miller

We were very pleased with the services from Gill Johnson Holiday Villas, everyone we dealt with was extremely pleasant, polite and helpful, we would definitely book through you again. Casa Margarita is a beautiful villa in magnificent gardens, and was extremely clean and well looked after. Maggie and Raphael the owners could not have done more to make our holiday perfect. Our welcome pack was well beyond our expectations, there was everything needed for the nine of us. We have stayed in lots of holiday villas but Casa Margarita is definitely the best. I cannot think of anything that could be improved. We loved the salt water pool, and the bath and beach towels supplied were a lovely touch and much appreciated.

"We have just returned from a 10 day vacation at Casa Margarita with another family (7 of us in total) and had a total chilled out holiday. The villa was as good as the owners description and had all we needed !! The pool was different being salt water but was far better than your standard chlorine dosed norm and the kids were never out of it. The villa was spacious & clean and Maggie was the perfect host and more than happy to be contacted at any time for help and advice. We had a "come dine with me night" which tested the kitchen and utensils and it had everything right down to the dish washer (we won of course, unlucky Wendy and John, Luke and KB). Coin town has everything you need and the food shopping is very cheap at the local Lidol or Mercadona supermarket which is no more than 10 min drive. Restaurants are plentiful and well priced, we found only one English eatery in Coin called Peters Place (well recomended)through Coin on the left before La Trocha centre, there are also chinese and indian restaurants. Maggie arranged for the girls to go horse riding through the hills with a british run family business (ride-with-me) and the Lads went fishing at Lake El Dorado(literally 5 mins from the Villa) again run by an ex-pat called Mike and was really good as you can hire the equipment. Obviously a car is essential as nothing is really within walking distance but there is plenty within half hour driving. Puerto Banus was the easiest beach to get to which was approx 30 mins drive but will improve once the new road is finished. Maggie had just bought a gas BBQ which we used everyday and we ate on the Patio which was good as you could open and close the roof depending on the weather. There are two good restaurants on the MA-3033 (come out of villa and turn left on to the main road) La Bomba on the left(BBQ) and a general spanish a la carte on the right which are both at the first island and approx 5 miles away. To sum this holiday up, it was the perfect chill out helped by the fact that the Villa was fully equipped and perfect, Maggie could not do enough to make sure we had a great holiday and I would highly recomend this to anyone wants an easy relaxing holiday in comfort with added privacy and a personal touch."

"Myself, my family and our friends spent the middle of August at this villa. The villa is fantastic and is set in lovely landscaped gardens complete with palm trees and water feature (not to mention the salt water pool). The villa was spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard. It had all the amenities you would require, and a kitchen with allsorts of appliances and gadgets. There was a lovely shaded patio complete with a gas bbq (which we did the majority of our cooking on) and beer fridge!. The master bedroom was fantastic, large enough to fit in a huge bed from which you had a floor to ceiling view of the rolling hills to wake up to in the morning, the ensuite was the size of my bedroom at home complete with an all singing jacuzzi bath for two as well as a large shower unit. The villa is situated a short drive from Coin which is a village with shops, tapas bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc. We tried two restaurants just a short drive away which were both good, one was a bbq style place and the other an unusual Africa themed eatery - both really nice. We visited many of the surrounding villages, waterparks, and beaches - all within 30-40 minutes drive. Maggie & Rafael the owners could not have been more helpful and kind, they helped us organise local horseriding and were on hand to help out with any questions/directions etc. I have stayed in self-catering accommodation for most of my main holidays and what sets this villa apart is the personal attention that the owners have paid not only to the comfort of their guests but to the guests themselves and their desire for all who stay at the villa to have a good stress-free holiday. I would certainly visit this villa again 10/10. Thanks Maggie & Rafael, hopefully see you soon!"

Wendy from Birmingham

"The word stunning simply does not do this property any justice. From the moment the electric gate first went back it took our breath away. The owners showed us around what had once been their family home and made us feel so welcome. The villa itself is stylish and sophisticatedly appointed while still feeling homely. We hardly stepped out of the grounds such was our pleasure at staying there but when we did we found Coin a lovely town with some nice bistros. Not far into Mijas and Marbella if you fancy a night out."

"We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at beautiful Casa Margarita. The villa is private, spacious (there were 8 of us), very clean, well equipped (lots of towels) and furnished to an extremely high standard. We did not want to leave!
The gardens are extensive and we loved the huge salt water pool which was only mildly salty and felt really good on our skin. Much nicer than chemicals and chlorine. The garden and pool were well maintained during our stay.
The large outdoor eating area had an electrically operated "cover" so could be in sun or shade and the large garden parasols provided a lot of shade also when needed.The villa is well placed for sight seeing and we visited quite a lot of the area. The coast is about 25 mins away but a new road is almost completed which will halve this time. The owner, Maggie, lives nearby and is very welcoming. She is always at the end of the phone to help with anything.
I have no hesitation in recommending Casa Margarita and I know you will enjoy your holiday here.

"Just to let you know that we had a great holiday, the villa was amazing and we may book again for next year! Maggie was so kind and helpful please pass on our thanks to her.”

Janet and Ray

 description of the villa on your web and the villa in reality were an accurate reflection which is very important. The villa itself was excellent, Maggie was on hand in case anything was needed. Everything was fine for us and we had an excellent holiday. I would certainly recommend yourselves and the villa.”

"We stayed at Casa Margarita for a week - not just for a holiday, but to have our wedding blessing and reception. Of the venues that we viewed, this gave us the tranquility and space that we required.

Casa Margarita is the perfect place to have a holiday, within driving distance of many pretty villages, beaches, restaurants and bars, but it also makes a spectacular venue for a wedding. The villa is spacious enough for it to be full with people, but also to give you enough space and privacy.

The gardens are outstanding - pictures simply don't do it justice. In addition to this, Maggie (the owner) made sure our stay was extra special. From meeting us several times before the wedding to make sure everything would go smoothly, to making sure we were settled in as soon as we drove through the gates.

Casa Margarita will always have a special place in our hearts, and hopefully we will be able to return one day to celebrate our anniversary there."

Hope that's ok. We haven't had a chance to get the pictures on a disc yet, but Ewan will email you a few pictures tomorrow afternoon.

Fantastic private villa. Close to most things but you do need a car

We had a fantastic week at Casa Margarita. Maggie the owner was available on the phone if you needed her. Great pool which we made full use of and we even had a couple of barbeques. The beaches were close by and the nightlife of Marbella within a short drive. Great location would certainly consider rebooking if we came back to the same area. My grown up children all thoroughly enjoyed it.

 Excellent. Every thing it was promised to be. Met the owners- who were very helpful.

We stayed in Casa Margarita in Coin. The villa was marvellous, exactly as advertised. Fantastic pool and gardens for the children to play all day. Very clean inside and out in all a very well looked after villa.

 A car is essential however as very little in walking distance. The main neighbours you will here are the local goats in the nearby fields.

 A few minutes in the car gets you to the centre of coin with lots of bars/restaurants and supermarkets.

 I would fully recommend both Gill Johnston holidays and Casa Margarita.
