This villa was just perfect for us. It was sparkling clean and beautifully designed inside and out. We appreciated the additional downstairs bathroom. The spacious kitchen was immaculate and had every utensil you could think of. There is good storage space in the bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable and there was great shower pressure in the two upstairs bathrooms. Everything felt nice and new!
We had amazing weather the whole week - 30 degrees and blue skies, and the large shaded outside seating space was just amazing. We used the easy-clean BBQ most evenings, and loved that there was a curtain you can draw to shade the dining table from the direct sun.
We only needed to use the AC for a few minutes in the bedrooms each night before sleeping, but it was handy to have.
The mountain views from the villa are just fantastic and we watched the stunning sunsets every night from the sun loungers. The large pool was a constant 28 degrees, and was also immaculately clean. The villa is peaceful, completely private and not overlooked.
The villa feels very rural, yet you are only a 4 min drive to the Dia Supermarket in Riogordo, which is open all day, unlike the other smaller shops. One point to note is that it is very difficult to get parked in Riogordo - there are many steep, narrow and winding streets. However, I had no trouble getting parked outside Dia, which is on the edge of the town, so it is a good idea to park your car there and explore the town on foot.
The villa is a great position to explore the local area and we especially loved eating lunch like locals at Restaurante La Huerta, Casabermeja and Restaurante Belen in Colmenar.
Maria was a lovely and kind host. She met us at the property and she also lives locally. She was always on hand to answer any queries we had.
Note the driveway up to the villa from the road is unmarked and very steep, but we had hired a decent car and had no problem with it and the views are totally worth it!
We would highly recommend this property!
