About this property

Stylish villa, pool, sea view, wifi, aircon, quiet spot, private, Costa del Sol

'Our family loved this fantastic villa in a magical spot. Mum and Dad came out first for week on their own and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Then we arrived with our two children for the second week and the kids were in the pool all day and loving it.

We couldn´t fault the villa, it had absolutely everything we needed and was stylish and comfortable, a home from home. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evenings, having just finished dinner, watching the sunset and looking out at the amazing views down to the sea. We also loved the pool deck which was large and like the villa immaculately clean. We remember the lovely Andalucian details built into the villa, like decorated tiles and ceilings with high beams.

It was also a good base for travelling around. We went to Nerja and Torrox beaches locally and we did day trips to Seville, Ronda and the Alhambra Palace in Granada which were all great. We loved it!'

The coastal town of Torre Del Mar is 15 minutes drive from the villa and has everything you could want on holiday. Banks, restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes, supermarkets, bars, chemists, clothes and shoe shops. Visit the colorful weekly market packed with local fruit, veg, bargain leather goods, clothes, handmade local gifts and much more then stroll along the promenade with tropical gardens alongside the beach.

The nearby historical town of Velez-Malaga also has all amenities but is more traditional, with winding streets, cathedrals, tapas bars, theaters, churches and many examples of typical Andalusian buildings. In between the two towns is a large indoor shopping center with 10 screen cinema, bowling, hypermarket and top stores such as Zara, Mango, Nike etc. Local activities include beach, horse riding, water park, golf, sailing, quad biking, country walks, snorkeling, diving, hang gliding, crocodile park, safari park, zoo, historical buildings, museums, aquarium.

Other Activities: Private yoga lessons

Golf: 18 hole Baviera Golf in Caleta de Velez, 15 minutes drive from the villa. Stunning course with excellent club facilities. Buggy hire optional.

Many other golf courses within 1 hour of the villa.

Ski: Granada ski resort in the Sierra Nevada, two hours drive away, easily reachable for a day´s skiing.

Enjoy visiting the real Spain! Arenas is a short drive away and is a traditional Pueblo Blanco or white village. You´ll fall in love with the tiny winding streets, the quaint village houses and of course the locals who always have a friendly greeting. Tourism hasn’t hit this village yet, and this is reflected in the prices, which are incredibly reasonable. A superb three course lunch can be had in Bar Juani for under 10 Euros, including a drink!
Arenas is famous in Europe for having the largest population of chameleons, whose color changing skills are magical to watch. The area is also famed for romantic historic tales of the clashes between the Christians and the Moors. The ruins of one Moorish castle can be seen from the villa.

The villa is perfectly placed to explore Andalusia.

Seville, Ronda, Marbella and Antequera are all easily reached for day trips. Malaga city is less than an hour away and has much to offer including the port, tropical gardens and historical quarter with the Pablo Picasso museum just one example of places of interest to visit. Granada is home to the famous Alhambra palace, full of Moorish influence and only two hours from the villa.
The well known picturesque town of Nerja is just 20 minutes away, well worth a visit with its internationally renowned caves where live concerts are held, stunning coves and beaches, and all kinds of shops, bars and restaurants. Take a horse drawn carriage tour to see the highlights of the old town.

Car Hire: Group B or above is recommended.

A lovely villa in a stunning location
The villa is situated about 10 minutes drive from Velez-Malaga, in the foothills of the Sierra de Tejeda. The drive to the villa is definitely an experience! The views from the roof terrace and pool area are simply stunning. The villa itself is very private, clean and well equipped. The wildlife is varied and plentiful. James and Rafe are excellent hosts. The local beaches are clean and safe, with lots of places to eat. Torre del Mar is great for a walk along the sea front.

Incredible scenery
This villa has the most spectacular views I have ever had on a holiday. Absolutely incredible. James and Rafa were great hosts sorting out any minor issues in a timely manner. George the dog was also a welcome visitor. Even my dog disliking daughter fell in love with him. Villa is accurately described and is well worth the drive up the hill. Thanks for a great holiday.

Super vacances
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la villa Camaléon, James a été très accueillant. Super piscine et tout confort. Un paysage a coupé le souffle. Pour accéder à la villa, il y a une petite portion de chemin en terre assez chaotique, mais ça le fait ! Le seul bémol pour nous, étant en montagne, c'était l'écho des aboiements des chiens dans une villa plus loin. Sur une note sur 10, je mets 9.5 😀.

Super relaxing and secluded villa in a beautiful setting
The villa is in an absolutely beautiful setting with views of mountains, white villages and the sea. The pool area is perfect with relaxing shady areas as well as being able to catch the sun until about 6.30pm all with a backdrop of colourful flowers. There are also two outside bench tables to eat at and we had our own rooftop bar by taking chairs and drinks up to watch the sunsetting, The villa is completely private and quiet which was perfect for what we wanted. The owner lives in the property slightly downhill from the villa and, whilst giving us complete privacy, he or especially his son were always very quick to respond to any queries we had. As other reviews have stated, the uphill drive to the villa is initially tricky, We had booked a Category B car as suggested but our little Citroen C3 hire car could not make it up the hill with both passengers, cases and shopping. We offloaded cases and myself into James' car on that occasion and he gave us the invaluable advice to turn off the aircon and fan just for the steepest parts. After that we were able to get up to the villa independently each time so we would definitely suggest a more powerful car and to use the aircon off tip! We would very much recommend this villa if you want a relaxing holiday in a beautiful, secluded setting. Thank you.

Great place
A little off from the roads the villa is located at a great spot with fantastic view on the sea as well as the mountains at a steep hillside. Accommodation as described and very clean, well equipped including books, games, table tennis, boule and barbecue. We enjoyed the time and can recommend the place. Not our last time here.

Making the break and leaving the UK was a scary decision at the time but since arriving in this beautiful area of Spain I have loved every minute! Now, 17 years, two children, two dogs, two cats and two pot bellied pigs later, I am still here. Waking up to the same gorgeous views every morning and gazing at the stars on the gorgeous clear nights still takes my breath away. Come and visit me in Andalusia!
