Guest comments
The house was soo lovely and immaculate. Views were stunning, pool was great, the setting relaxing. Found it very difficult to leave. J.McN Fife
Villa and pool were wonderful. We are missing the sun, sea and villa very much and only wish we had spent more time enjoying the views of the mountains and riding the rollercoaster - that is, the road to the villa! J.M Essex
Once we arrived at the villa, we agreed the journey is worth it - your villa is wonderful. 10/10! B. L Hampshire
We have hired many villas and yours by far was the best equipped. The beds are immaculate and comfortable. Thanks again for a perfect week and your service from booking to aftercare was excellent. L.W., Co Durham
We had a lovely time at the villa - such a beautiful spot! Everything that we needed, we were very happy. The local taxi service was very good. J.N., Barcelona
Best villa we have ever stayed in, stunning! Can't think of a better place to celebrate my 50th next year. D.W., Lancashire
Owner profile
About the owner
Hi. I live in Cheshire with my husband, and am a full time carer for my elderly parents. We manage to get away to our beautiful villa whenever we can.
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
After selling our manufacturing business in 2000, we planned to retire and live in this stunning part of Spain - so unspoiled, peaceful and idyllic, and so near to the coast, fiestas and whatever was happening. We fell in love with the area and the people. For the time being, we enjoy it whenever we can.
Unique benefits of the property
Our villa is only 45 minutes drive east from Malaga airport. The peace and tranquility there, is amazing - shops and local activities only a drive away when you want them. Pure bliss.
