Welcome to Casa Agnethe

Before you travel to Spain

Before you leave for Spain, please make sure you have sent us:

• the day and time you arrive at Málaga Airport
• your contact details (phone and email)
• whether you need a baby cot

We appreciate it if you inform our helper, Gala, directly about when you arrive in Spain, and preferably also if there are any delays.

Gala is a lovely lady who can assist if anything comes up locally. Of course, you can also contact us, but we are not always available locally.

Tourist registration

Only for guests who are not resident in Spain.

Spanish regulations require every guest who is 14 or older at the time of the stay to fill in the "Tourist registration" form. We then complete the registration with the authorities. All guests are registered in the same form: click "Add another guest" for each person, and "Submit" at the end.

Keys and check-in

We offer contactless check-in. Before you arrive, you will receive a code for a key lock box by email. You will also get the contact details of a friendly local lady who can help you with practical matters if needed.

Check-in is at 16:00 and check-out at 10:00, unless you have agreed on another time with the key holder. Early check-in and late check-out depend on the cleaning and on whether other guests are arriving, and are agreed directly with the key holder.

Good to know about the house

Community pools

There are several pools nearby (see the map below). A universal key card for some of them is in the key cabinet in the hallway. Please take good care of it and tell us straight away if it goes missing. When you have finished swimming, put the card back in the cabinet so others can use it too.

Air conditioning

The air conditioning switches off automatically every 4–5 hours. To turn it back on, press the white button on the wall just below the unit – it continues with the same settings as before. Then use the remote control as usual.

Kitchen

Please do not put hot pots or pans directly on the kitchen worktop, as they can leave burn marks.

Awning

Please roll the awning back in after use, to protect it from wind and weather.

Parking

You have a private parking space right in front of the house. Shared parking spaces nearby are clearly marked.

Robot vacuum cleaner

The house has a robot vacuum cleaner that is very easy to use.

Press the Clean button to start. The robot cleans every area it can reach, so pick things up from the floor first. To send it back to the dock before it has finished, press the Dock button.

Empty the dustbin after a few cleaning runs, as shown in the picture. Tap the filter carefully to knock off the dust, and put it back in the robot.

Portable speaker – Kreafunk aMajor

The house has a portable Bluetooth speaker. Please put it back in its place after use, and charge it before you leave. It charges with an ordinary USB-C charger.

Directions to the house

We have made a short video of the drive from the airport (turn on the subtitles for the description). You can also open the directions in Google Maps (opens in new tab).

1. From the airport, take the AP-7 towards Marbella and stay on it for about 14 minutes.
2. Turn off onto the A-7 (not the AP-7). The exit comes a little unexpectedly the first time, so watch out for it. Stay on the A-7 past Fuengirola.
3. When you pass the Miramar shopping centre on the right, there are only 1–2 minutes left before you turn right off the motorway towards Club Costa World. This exit also comes quickly – start slowing down at the overpass so you have time to brake.
4. Drive through the "Welcome" sign and take the third road on the right. Follow it to the reception and restaurant area. Turn right at the small roundabout there. After about 70 metres you will see the house on the right, number 1204.
