In December 2018, we moved to Spain to take a new step in our lives: opening a Bed &amp; Breakfast. Although this was a new adventure for us, we created a place where everyone feels welcome, thanks to our combined experiences and talents. Initially, we started at a different location, but we have now found our place at Villa Ma\u00f1ana, a fantastic location near the famous and charming mountain village of Mijas Pueblo.<\/p><p><strong>Our Background<\/strong><br \/>With Rob\u2019s background in hospitality and experience as a dance school owner, and Michel\u2019s expertise in sales and his love for cooking, we form a perfect team: hospitable, empathetic, and curious about people. We are relaxed and have a good sense of humor, and if our guests need anything, we are happy to arrange it for them. We love talking with our guests and ensuring they have an unforgettable stay.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfc234a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bfc234a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a7c975 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9a7c975\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-300\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/villa-manana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PM-44-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a646498 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a646498\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a51b80 elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a51b80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Not just a host!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb2814f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb2814f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Michel enjoys cooking and is very good at it, from <strong>paella<\/strong> and <strong>tapas<\/strong> to <strong>Indonesian rice tables<\/strong> and <strong>Italian dishes<\/strong>.
