Guest comments
"We had a wonderful time again at the villa this year and would like to say thank you for the opportunity, you must hate to rent it to strangers as its got so many homely touches it really does feel that we are staying in your home. I have an awful feeling however that no other villa will quite match Casa Verde as its a little special." Shropshire
"This is a quick email to say how delighted we were with our stay at Casa Verde. You have done the property up with taste and style and great attention to detail and it was a joy to settle in there and feel immediately at home in a wonderful location." London
"We all arrived back safely after a great break at Casa Verde. The villa is magnificent and we all enjoyed ourselves. " Glasgow

About the owner
I live in England with my wife and young kids. I have recently retired and we spend our holidays walking extensively.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We purchased in Alhaurin because it has all facilities you would need from a town, but we fell in love with this lovely quiet villa with its gorgeous garden, which we refurbished to a high standard - one in which we would be happy to live (rather than just holiday!). The villa is above the town so there are views over the town and down across the valley and to the mountains above. The walks up the hill into the nature reserve are fantastic - you can even see Malaga and the sea if you go high enough! The coast is nearby by good roads and there are a two good golf courses within 10 minutes drive of the villa.
Unique benefits of the property
The kids love the pool and gardens - there is so much room in which to play around. There is ample room for us and our friends there. And wonderful sights are close by. Enjoy watching the eagles and vultures circling high above you! The villa backs onto the national park/forest, with miles of walks amongst the pine trees. From the top you can see all the way to Malaga to the north, or across the Guadalhorce valley to the hills. Beautiful at sunset. The villa is only 35 minutes from Malaga airport and only 20 minutes to the coast. Mijas, Marbella and many other major towns are close. Shopping in Alhaurin el Grande is very good and there is a weekly market. The old town has good restaurants and bars and, whilst a good 20 minutes walk away, it is a nice thing to do when not too hot!
