About this property

Indoor Heated Pool • Very Large Outdoor Pool • Huge Gardens • Sea View • Boat

Villa La Rotonda is located in Benalmadena Pueblo, a charming Andalusian traditional village overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, at 15 min. driving distance from the Malaga airport, 5 min to the sea and 20 min. to Marbella.

In the village centre, at only 10 min walking distance, there are lots of restaurants and bars, as well as shops, bank offices, pharmacy and supermarkets.
We are also very close to the Xanit International Clinic, at 2 min driving distance.

Free from any neighbors or noises, this very large property is the perfect spot to relax.

The house has been the first estate of the urbanization „Rancho Domingo“, long time the only 5 star urbanization on the coast together with the one in Sotogrande.

It features a 25m outdoor pool as well as a heated indoor pool. Built in the late 1950ies there are 50 year old trees all around. The house is located in the middle of 7.000 square meters of woods and very large cultivated gardens that offer a wide range of plants, fruits and exotic animals like chameleons.

Situated in the mountains, the property is above the typical coastline fog. It is usually 3°C warmer than at the coast, but there is always a fresh breeze. It stretches over 3 levels in front, behind and beside the house, which offers a lot of space for groups to spread and many possibilities of scenery changes. One can spend days on site without doing the same thing twice.

Also the bedrooms are situated in a manner that groups can spread out into main wing, guest wing and children's house.

The entire property was renovated and refurbished from 2010 - 2012 with all modern amenities such as underfloor heating, all-glass-showers or modern kitchen fittings while keeping the old style alive. Besides the kitchen and all bathrooms, both pools where completely redone with new tiles and chemical-free systems.

There belongs a Boat in Puerto de Marbella to the property, which comes as an option.

Don't hesitate to contact us, with any wish or question you may have. We'd be glad to take care of your holidays!

Just a great place to stay

We were a group of six adults and three young kids (6mts to five years). What we were looking for was space, a pool and a good location. This had all of that in spades plus a lot more. The house is well organised in that it has two ground floor bedrooms which had a second bedroom for the children nearby. A good room for the"oldie parents" and two further bedrooms upstairs which we did not need. Kitchen well equipped with everything you would need. Outside, the seating was great, with a covered area near the house, and plenty of seating around the outside pool. There was also a children's play area outside. Inside, there is a heated pool, which the small kids enjoyed as the outdoor one was still "brisk" (May June) for them. Great BBQ outside allowing evening meals to be cooked outside. Location wise, it's very well situated with most of Andalusia to be easily reached ( Malaga, Cordoba Granada, Seville, Mijas) and Gibraltar. Some good walks nearby for those who wish it, but they are steep! Good range of shops nearby. For those who wanted a beer or churros for breakfast, great place five minutes away. The host, Elena, could not have been more helpful, both in the communication leading upto our stay and sorting out things once we got there. To have the place cleaned the times a week was great, and many thanks to Daniela for doing such a great job. All in all, a great place which provided our family with many great memories.

Great house

We had a really lovely stay here. Its much better than the pictures. The indoor pool was a real hit with the kids as was the large garden for football and games. A good supply of towels too! The beds were really comfortable. Everything was squeeky clean. I wouldn't hesitate to book this home again or to recommend for any large family or group of 3 families of 4. More than enough space and much much better than a hotel or 3 apartments. The kitchen has everything you could need and washer and dryer were great. Elena the manager was really helpful and Diego the caretaker was a real sweetie. Thanks so much xx

Amazing luxurious holiday !!

This villa is a gem! It is sparkling clean, very spacious with everything in perfect condition, it feels as if everything is brand new as it is so well looked after. Elena, the manager, and Diego, the caretaker, are so friendly and helpful - they made our stay perfect. The pretty village is only 10/15 mins walk away (slightly uphill) where there is a wide choice of restaurants and bars, supermarkets and a few gift shops. Thank you Elena and Diego, we feel very spoilt!

Stunning Property, absolutely perfect

Everything was first class from the very first corresponance to the last, Elena was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Due to our arrival being on a Sunday, Elena went out of her way to arrange some essential grocery items. The house was fantastic and Diego being on site was so comforting. All in all a fabulous house, we will definitely return.

Didn't want to leave.

We took the villa for three weeks in August 2017 and we loved it. We were a party of 11, 6 adults and 5 children, ranging in age from 3-11, and there was plenty of room for all. It is a beautiful villa inside and out. It has everything anyone would need and so very well furnished. Elena, the Manager, made us very welcome and made sure everything suited our needs, even providing a small bed for our youngest grandchild in his brother's room. Daniela the cleaner is very friendly and very thorough in her work. Diego alias 'Mr Fix-it' made sure the pool was always clean and the extensive garden well maintained. He also took away all our recycling and other rubbish. He even managed to mend the arm on my broken sunglasses. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them - thank you all for making our stay so easy and comfortable. The house is situated a short walk from the village of Benalmadena Pueblo which has very good restaurants and a spa, which our daughters-in-law enjoyed. There is also a very good pizza restaurant just down the road from the villa which delivers very good pizzas very quickly. The garden affords views of both the sea and the mountains and the view in the evening of the lights below from the bigger coastal towns was amazing. We have been renting villas for the family summer break on an annual basis now for 11 years and this we all agreed was the best. Golf courses for the men and Tivoli World, among other things, for the children. We had to drive a way to find a decent beach - our favourite being at La Cala de Mijas. We will definitely be thinking of returning.
