Fantastic villa. There really is something for everyone. The swimming pool was great, with loungers and optional shade. Lovely gardens with plenty of different seating areas to enjoy the views and just relax. The outdoor kitchen with BBQ, sink and fridge gave the perfect opportunity to enjoy local produce. No board games required here, unless you want to of course, the pool table, pinball, juke box and cinema provide plenty of entertainment. Overall the villa is clean, well maintained and equipped to a high standard. We received a friendly welcome from Dino who met us on arrival and the owners were also easy to contact and very helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa is everything as advertised and more - loads of space, great views, excellent outside spaces to relax in, superbly appointed. The kitchen was lovely, the new outside kitchen and BBQ even better and the cinema was the icing on the cake.The place was spotlessly clean and we felt home from home.Many thanks to Anna who was there when we needed something, and the black cat was a welcome visitor too. The hosts were great communicators and ensured we had a good time.This is THE villa to book.

We stayed at Casa Albero for a week in mid October. The property is exceptionally well presented and equipped with a fantastic kitchen dining area, superb bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms. Views over the surrounding countryside are uninterrupted and the location on the edge of the development is very quiet and peaceful.

Blissful and relaxing week

We had a wonderful 8 nights at Bob and Denise's villa. It was exactly as described and the location was in a peaceful urbanisation a few minutes drive from Mijas. We couldn't believe how quiet it was, and the comfortable beds meant we all had brilliant night's sleep. The villa was very well equipped, with a particular highlight being the amazing cinema room and extensive collection of DVDs. The villa is so easily accessible from the airport and there are some lovely local trips. We would have no hesitation in recommending the villa.

Splendid villa

We had a fantastic week in this fabulous villa. Our first day was not ideal with a forest fire very close by, but care taker Anna handled it all very well. The villa is very spacious and has absolutely everything you need for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed the wonderfully shaded terraces, the music system, and of course the pool. Our sons had fun in the ‘diner’ playing pool and listening to a lot of golden oldies on the juke box. With Mijas and Fuengirola just a short drive away there was plenty of choice in restaurants. Wish we could have tried more! We would definitely recommend this villa and would love to visit again.

Great experience

This is a great house, especially for people who want to spend some quality time in it, without bothering to go out (i.e. nice diner room with pool table, real movie theater with excellent sound). But if you are feeling like it, in 10 min drive there is Mijas Pueblo where you can find restaurants and small shops. One very positive remark about our hosts. Bob & Denise (with the great support from Ana) did their best in trying to make our vacations perfect. Specially when unexpected things happen, they were always there with a solution. We are really looking forward to visit this house again, hopefully soon.

Idyllic property with amazing views and fabulous facilities.

The villa was just what we wanted, with private pool and quiet location. Our boys loved the pool table and cinema room, but spent most of the time enjoying the fantastic pool. The villa is up in the hills above Mijas, about ten minutes drive into Mijas Pueblo, Urbanizacion Valtocaldo. The area reminded me of gated communities you see on TV in Los Angeles. Sheer luxury. You will need a car to go food shooping or go to the restaurants in Mijas pueblo, but this was a small price to pay for the stunning, uninterrupted views and beautiful sunsets at night. There were several areas to sit outside, with a veranda off the main bedroom, a large family dining area to the front, and lovely patio couches with awning above at the entrance porch, plus a table and chairs to the side door. Also beautiful sitting area in the garden. This would be ideal for a big family wanting their own space at times to sit out, aswell as the big living room, cinema room and games room for entertainment at night. We would definitely make a return visit!

A fabulous luxury experience at Casa Albero

What a beautiful villa, very clean lovely bedding and soft towels. A very well equipped kitchen with American fridge with ice & water on tap. Denise & Bob have done an amazing job decorating and designing the villa with real attention to detail. We very much enjoyed the cinema room and had an American evening in the diner followed by a movie! Elaine gave us a full & detailed tour of the house on arrival and was readily available for us in case we needed anything clarifying. Everyone enjoyed the swimming pool. Many visit to Mijas to enjoy the shopping and tapas, with trips to Antequera which is a must see and Rhonda with the amazing bridge. The views are stunning when sitting on the verand with a glass of wine watching the sunset or sitting in the comfy seating area. This was topped off with a final meal in the El Postillon lovely prawns Pil Pil and a steak to die for. All in all a very happy satisfying holiday and would definitely return next year! Thoroughly recommended. Huge thank you Denise & Bob! Karen & David

Thank you for your review. If you do arrange to come back next year, we will have added another couple of features, which we think will enhance the property. We plan to add a roller shade to part of the pool area, thus doing away with the brolly. Then in front of the house we plan to build a pergola and roller shade, adding another cool seating area to enjoy. Bob & Denise

Awesome family holiday!

Wow..... everything about this property was just perfect! From the booking process, communication with Bob and Denise (the owners), the guides that they provided ahead of our trip, through to the meet and greet by Anna (the housekeeper). Thanks so much for making our stay just perfect. We are certainly suffering the holiday blues 😬 The villa was just what we wanted, and more. The location was perfect, about 10 mins drive from Mijas Pueblo, with stunning views from the many outdoor seating areas. The pool was clean and a great temperature, and provided many hours of fun and relaxation each day for our family. Just what we needed. The standard of villa was 5*, and had all of the amenities you could want from a holiday villa (home away from home), including a cinema room and American diner, with lots of games and entertainment - a great option to keep the kids out of the midday sun! This is certainly a villa we wouldn't hesitate in booking again, and again, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting a luxury villa, with everything you could possibly need for an awesome family holiday in a perfect location. Thank you to Bob, Denise and Anna. Thanks

Wow, we felt spoilt....

From the very moment we arrived at the gated entrance, it was clear that this was going to be a luxury break! The house is high enough in the mountains to have the most amazing views, yet only a 10 minute car journey into the beautiful Mijas. The house is stunning, and extremely well equipped. The cinema room and games room were a big hit with my teenager and younger son, they were able to have fun whilst the grown ups relaxed with a glass of wine whilst taking in the fabulous views on one of the many outdoor seating areas. The pool is a great size, very clean, although a touch on the chilly side but it was only April so the solar panels aren't configured to heat the pool much until beginning of May. That didnt stop us Brits, once in it was fine 🤣. We decided against hiring a car as we've never driven on the right side of the road before, but it was never a problem as taxi hire is very easy and not too costly. We used an app called PideTaxi, which pinpointed our exact location, and we could do everything via the app, and have a taxi at the door within 15 mins. It cost between 9-11 euros into Mijas. Mijas is a picture perfect little town, very photogenic, with an amazing choice of eateries and things to visit. There is a small supermarket right by the taxi rank in Mijas, called Erosion, which we used quite a lot. We have never stayed somewhere more than once, but we certainly wouldn't hesitate to book again as it really was a perfect break for the whole family, in a perfect luxury villa. Thankyou!

We live in South East England both having had professional jobs as careers.

We both have an interest in home design, having created lovely living spaces in our UK home and now in Casa Albero which has both internal and external living spaces. Furthermore, we were able to add entertainment areas to the Villa. Being an American diner equipped with Pinball machine, pool table and a jukebox. We then went a step further by adding a professional Cinema room, equipped with ceiling stars lighting.

Being a host is a huge responsibility as expectations for your holiday are understandably very high. As a result we put a great deal of effort in making sure our guests have the best holiday experience possible in a luxury home.

Why they chose this property

In 2013 we decided to build a holiday home in the exclusive Voltacado Urbanisation near the fabulous white village of Mijas Pueblo. The project was finished in July 2015 with gardens completed in September the same year. More recently we have been refreshing the property and adding an outside kitchen and BBQ. We do hope all enjoy this beautiful home and stunning location.

What makes this property unique

This Villa masterfully balances high-end entertainment with deep, natural tranquility. While the ground floor layout functions as a private luxury resort—complete with a dedicated cinema and a retro American games room—the rest of the home is a sanctuary of calm. Architecturally, it blends timeless classical proportions with sleek contemporary finishes. Its position offers a rare dual vista, capturing the dramatic, rugged peaks of the mountains and the soft horizon. Whether you are hosting an energetic game night, swimming against a mountain backdrop, or retreating to the hidden, shaded reading gardens, this property offers distinct micro-environments for every mood. It is a home designed not just to be lived in, but to be thoroughly experienced.
