About this property

Romantic, Private, Peaceful Villa in Gaucin With Breathtaking Views To Morocco

Villa Djebel Musa is a romantic, beautifully maintained, architect-designed villa with an infinity pool. The garden is a mixture of mature exotic palms amongst the rocks as well as wild olives and carobs filled with many songbirds on a hillside at the southern edge of the pretty 'white village' of Gaucin.

"The best view we have seen in Spain" said one travel company. "A truly stunning property with 'wow factor'!" (If your preferred dates are already booked, we have a new property next door with the same views and an infinity pool - "Villa Estrella Gaucin").

Gaucin is 600 metres (2000 ft) above sea level and the secluded villa and pool afford spectacular open views down the Genal River valley to the Mediterranean and North Africa beyond. It is maintained and equipped to a high standard.

Double-height open-plan living room with minstrels' gallery leads to a large covered veranda. Archway to the large dining room which leads to its own covered dining terrace.

4 of the 5 bedrooms and the main living rooms have French windows onto their own terrace or balcony and there are other terraces around the garden.

Terracotta floors, bright rugs, Moroccan pots, comfortable seating inside and out, Satellite TV, WiFi, flowers, views, birds, sunshine!

If your dates are not available, we also manage the neighbouring villa which is new this year and has the same views and an infinity pool. On the VRBO website it is titled "Luxurious, Private, Villa in Gaucin".

A few extra notes:
- We have a gardener who visits very early morning in hot weather to water pots, a daily pool-cleaner, a multilingual House Manager and two lovely cleaners.
- The villa has secure off-street parking for 2 cars. Further cars can be easily parked nearby.
- The base price indicated per night or week is based on 6 people staying. For each additional person up to a max of 10 there is an extra charge to cover laundry and cleaning. The "Host Fee" in your quote is the final cleaning charge.
- Flat screen TV with Internet television & collection of Blu Ray films.
- The village centre is only a few minutes walk for tapas, restaurants, shops.
- Children are welcome but parents must consider that there are stairs down to the swimming pool and steep drops below the pool so young children will need constant supervision.

Stay at Gaucin
We had a magical stay at Mark and Star’s Villa in Gaucin. The pictures do not do the location and views justice, a truly stunning place. There was ample room for the 8 guests with various spaces to relax, eat and sunbathe, and we particularly enjoyed eating as the sun set on the terrace. Gaucin is a great place with lots of restaurants and groceries available and we were lucky enough to be at the first food festival held over the weekend. As with other reviews the are a few things in the villa that could be updated, but this did not deter from the stay. I really didn’t want leave and to me that says everything about the villa and hosts

Beautiful villa and village
A1 location, incredibly relaxed and great hosts, Mark & Star, who happened to be around and asked us for lovely drinks at their other property. So relaxed in fact, that I read 3+ books in a week. Plenty of great eateries, although we did BBQ twice too.

Amazing location and super house.
Wonderful location, great property, super pool and extremely helpful host. Whilst perfectly serviceable, a couple of the bedrooms and the kitchen would benefit from a refresh.

A perfect week with astonishing views
The villa and surrounding area is dreamy. We were two families with 5 children between us and our stay was perfect Mark and Esther were on hand to answer any questions and help with anything that we needed. We cannot wait to spend a week in the mountains again.

Fantastic Villa, Wonderful Location and Views
We visited end of October for a week, with 3 generations of family. The villa is fantastic, views were amazing and just a short stroll to lovely tapas bars. We visited Ronda, Estepona and met up with other local family, as well as spending a few days just chilling out at the Villa enjoying the peace, pool and views. The Gaucin roads are a little daunting, but we had a 9 seater mini-van and after a couple of days quickly got used to the tight spots! Mark was fantastic in his communication, never took longer than 30 mins to get back to me, even when on a trip to Costa Rica. Would not hesitate to recommend or return.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Star Bennett

Host profile image
Living in London, we live busy urban lives with our 3 children. One of our aims is to get away more often to the stunning countryside, climate, wildlife and food of the mountains around Gaucin in Southern Spain.

Arriving at the villa in Gaucin lifts our hearts and fills us with energy. Opening the balcony doors in the morning is a special moment every day... or lighting a log fire on a cool winter evening with a book or a film after a home cooked dinner...

We like to cook, eat good food - in or out, walk in the countryside, watch the amazing bird life in this part of Spain and enjoy the friendliness of everyone in this pleasant village. And if we really want the bustle of the beach, its only 40 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

We first came to Gaucin in 1997 and fell in love with the village and the area and rented a villa here the following year too. 17 years on we finally decided to find a villa that combined all the beauty and peace of the countryside yet with the convenience of being in the village with its character and amenities a short walk from the front door.

We are very lucky to have found this wonderful villa which combines our need for open air, countryside and wide vistas with village life. The architect designed the villa to maximise the extraordinary views and ts location.

What makes this property unique

We love being in the countryside (that's all we can see from the house) and can walk into it on "GR" paths 1 minute from the front door - and there is the lush and private garden too. But if we need a fresh loaf of bread, seafood from the village market or a tapas lunch its just a 5 minute walk away... The peace and privacy of this villa match any that we have been to before - but here, we don't have to drive anywhere once we have arrived.
