A 167-year-old house. Run as quietly as a private house.
La Villa Marbella is an intimate Andalusian townhouse on Calle Príncipe, three minutes from the Orange Square. One hundred and sixty-seven years on, the bones of the building remain: thick walls, a courtyard caught between sun and shade, windows that lean toward the sea breeze.
Each room is named after a city of the East and dressed in its register: lacquer, paper, calm. The house is run as a house, not a hotel. Reception is a person, not a desk; mornings begin with coffee and pastries on the terrace.
Marbella's old town, kept the way it was found, and the way it ought to stay.

One of the rooms: four-poster, bare stone, deep red · ph. casa
Every room individually named after a city of the East.
Andalusian bones, dressed in the quiet weight of Southeast Asia. Ceramics from Vietnam, lanterns from Burma, hand-carved doors that mark each threshold. Each room is its own register; the building holds them together.
Folding screens, terracotta floors, the hush of a 167-year-old townhouse.
Breakfast on the terrace.
An hour later, the old town.
The day at La Villa is not programmed; it is offered. Coffee and pastries laid out from eight, the concierge ready with a hand-written list of where to eat, what to walk to, what to skip. Beach towels at the door if you want them.

What Our Guests Say
Great stay, quiet area, close to everything, the sea. The staff of the reception or cleaning of the room is very professional, of a great kindness. I would return with great pleasure and advise this place to my entourage.
The waiters were pleasant and always smiling, and everyone made us feel truly welcome. The breakfasts on the terrace were simply amazing: delicious food, great coffee, and a stunning view in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. We truly enjoyed every moment and would gladly come back again!
The biggest plus of the hotel was the staff. Ben, Ana, Isabella and Juan were kind, helpful and welcoming. Marcella, our housekeeper, was a gem who kept the room spotless.
The staff at La Villa were very helpful throughout our stay, especially Marcos and Ben. The Chiang Mai room was very clean and had everything you wanted for our four night stay.
Wonderful stay in a charming hotel. Marcos and team welcomed us to their beautiful hotel, nestled in the centre of Marbella's old town. Rooms are quiet, very clean and comfortable, and the terrace breakfast was a great way to start the morning, overlooking the mountains around Marbella.
From the warm greeting at reception, beautiful room on the second floor in the Phuket room, to the wonderful location in the heart of the old town, this is a charming place to stay.
At reception we were greeted by Ana who immediately sensed our exhaustion and welcomed us as though we were family. With genuine kindness she encouraged us to leave our bags and head straight to our room to rest. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and set the tone for a wonderful stay.
Staying at La Villa Marbella felt like stepping into a hidden oasis right in the heart of the town. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was one of the highlights of our stay. We recommend it to anyone looking for something personal, beautiful, and in a perfect location in Marbella Old Town.
We have stayed at La Villa Marbella on many occasions and have always had a great experience. The location is fantastic being set in the middle of the old town with its character and many restaurants. The staff are exceptional and you always receive a warm and friendly welcome.
Beautiful apartment in a charming location right in the heart of the old town. The team were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.
As always La Villa Marbella did not disappoint. The friendliest, warmest staff made us feel like we were coming home every day. The location is out of a story book, down a small pedestrian street covered with neon colored bougainvillea.
Great rooms, spacious bathroom. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff with an excellent command of the English language and a lot of knowledge of local and regional must sees. A fine breakfast is served on the cosy roof terrace.
It is our third time staying at La Villa Marbella. The location is fabulous, right in the centre of Old Town. The rooms are great, very comfortable bed and beautifully decorated in Asian style. Isabella, Ben and Boli are wonderful people and very knowledgeable about the city.
Such a lovely little gem in Marbella! My room was cozy, beautifully arranged, and spotlessly clean. The whole place has a warm, family-like atmosphere, and the people working here are absolute treasures.
Our room was decorated in a beautiful stone and teak motif with gorgeous handpicked Indonesian furniture. Although it had wonderful windows out to a tree lined walkway, it was extremely quiet. Rose, Ben, Isabella and team could not have been more hospitable and helpful.
We came to La Villa Marbella and stayed in one of their apartments in the old town. It was perfect for a family visit, in the centre of town and just a short walk to the beach. The staff are friendly, totally knowledgeable of the surrounding area, and you feel like nothing is too much trouble.
This hotel is a true gem. The beds are comfortable, the staff exudes kindness to the highest degree, and their attention to detail is unparalleled. Special thanks to Isabela, Bolivar, Mark, and all the delightful staff for making our stay truly unforgettable.
We had a wonderful experience at La Villa Marbella. The location is perfect to discover many golf courses around the city and enjoy the old centre of Marbella in the evening. This is the second time we come to the Villa Marbella and the rooms are always very comfortable and quiet.
Everything is wonderful. It is located in the historic centre, the most charming area of Marbella, but on a very quiet street. The room has a special charm: decoration taken care of down to the smallest detail, exquisite cleanliness. It is nice to find a place where they make you feel so welcome.
