We spent two wonderful weeks at Casa Olivia, and it was genuinely one of our best vacations ever. If you're looking for the ultimate spot to relax near Torrox, this is absolute perfection!What we loved the most: Breathtaking views: The villa is situated in a quiet, peaceful area with stunning views. Morning coffee on the terrace and evenings watching the sunset were pure magic. Comfort & Cleanliness: The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The fully equipped kitchen made it super easy to prepare meals at home. Private pool & relax zone: The pool area and surrounding gardens were perfectly maintained—an ideal space to unwind all day in complete privacy. Great location: Best of both worlds! You get absolute peace and quiet, yet it's just a short drive to the charming town of Torrox, fantastic local restaurants, and the beach.Communication with the hosts was warm and seamless from start to finish. We highly recommend Casa Olivia to anyone looking for an unforgettable escape in Andalusia. We would love to come back!

This was my 5th or 6th stay in Casa Olivia. It is the best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in. Completely private, wonderful views, nice pool, and everything works!Also, the owners--and their local representatives Jenny and Carl--have been especially helpful on the latest occasion (I accidentally left an important possession behind , and they shipped it back to me in the UK.)

Dear Karen and family, We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Oliva and had a great vacation. We're pleased you enjoyed the pool and we also appreciated your friendly communication. The road up into the hills from Torrox can indeed be a bit windy, but thankfully it is nice and wide, well paved and with a safety railing all the way along. The bends can be challenging but we always feel safe. We hope we can welcome you back to Casa Olivia in the future.

All you need for a great Andalusian experience

Great location surrounded by beautiful natural countryside. Trips to the local towns, beaches and places of interest all within reach. Spotlessly clean villa with all needs catered for. Nice little touches everywhere and a welcoming bottle of wine when we arrived. Highly recommended with great customer care and communication.

Great Value for Money in a beautiful location

This is a classic Spanish country villa. It is quite high and has great views to the mountains. Very peaceful with good patio areas for dining and an outside grill for bbqs. Decent pool and plenty space for sunbathing. Close to Competa which is lovely and well worth a visit. Good restaurants there. Also not too far from Frigiliana which is also worth visiting.

Another idyllic stay!

My 4th stay in Villa Olivia. That should say it all really! Excellent communication from the owners Charles and Joshua, and good support from Carl and Jenny once in situ. Also, a chance to socialise with fellow Brits at the nearby Pavo Real bar and restaurant. All of this, plus magnificent views from the villa!

We had a wonderful ten days at this private property with its magnificent garden. Access/Egress steep but do not let this put you of visiting. There are lots of nearby walks/runs in the Competa and Torrox valleys to enjoy and the hosts have them well documented for you to follow. Will definitely return.

Wonderfully relaxing holiday!

What a wonderful ten days spent at Joshua’s and Charles’ beautiful place in the Spanish mountains! Wonderful views, beautiful pool, lovely location and absolute peace. The villa itself was very nice and extremely well equipped. Our hosts, Charles and Joshua, were wonderful and were very keen to ensure we had a love ly time and that everything was to our liking. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone seeking peace and solitude away from the madding crowds! That said, if you can bear to drag yourselves away from Casa Olivia, then Competa, the local town, is lovely and only a short drive as is the coast. Lovely!

Stunning villa

Casa Rosaleda was exactly as described on the website. The views from the terraces are outstanding. The villa and its pool were exceptional. Mac's attention to detail made all the arrangements very straightforward and the clarity of his information sheets helped the holiday run smoothly. For those who can drag themselves away from the pool and go hiking there are comprehensive instructions for many wonderful walks. We would have no hesitation in staying at the villa again if visiting the area.
