About this property

Casa Geniol – Stunning Villa with Panoramic Sea Views by Marina del Este

Casa Geniol sits on the steep cliffs of Punta de la Mona, high above the Marina del Este harbor. Enjoy breathtaking views from the lighthouse across Almuñécar to Cabo Sacratif. Spread over several levels and 450 square meters, the villa accommodates six guests in absolute tranquility.



There are three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with a double bed, en-suite bathroom, private terrace, and sea view. The master bedroom is on the top level, split over two floors and independent from the rest of the house. A library invites you to read—upon request and prior arrangement, the sofa can be prepared as an extra bed.



On the middle level, you'll find the kitchen with panoramic window and dining table for eight, two partially covered terraces, and a gas grill. The living room with open fireplace is the heart of the house; from the wooden deck, step directly into your private pool (4 × 8 meters). Downstairs, a wellness area awaits with steam bath, two waterfall showers, and a relaxation room. Both fireplaces can be used after a short introduction; firewood is provided.



Air conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi, satellite TV with streaming, washing machine, and free parking. Electricity, water, bed and bath linen are included; the final cleaning is charged separately when booking.



Three things to know before booking:



The house is on a steep coast, spread over several split levels with stairs and no elevator—it's not suitable for guests with limited mobility or very young children.



The pool is not heated and is usually comfortable from June to late September, depending on the weather.



A rental car is essential. La Herradura beach is a short drive away—the walk back is steep uphill.



We welcome you personally and take time for your introduction. Let us know your wishes in advance—many things can be arranged with notice.

Pros: We were lucky because we discovered this shelter by accident. And we were not disappointed. The Casa Genial is a wonderful house and you can see that it was very well thought out. The location is very quiet. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. Everything was very clean and the rooms are beautifully designed. Also the area invites you to visit many restaurants or just go for a walk. We also enjoyed our day trip to Granada very much. In summary we can recommend this accommodation very much.

Pros: We just stayed one week at this fabulous house overlooking the Mediterranean. The house is exactly as pictured and described on the website and has everything one could want in the way of amenities. The views from the house and the many decks of the house are truly spectacular. In addition, Christian and the local property manager, Cees, were very responsive to our questions and also were available during our stay to insure that all went well with our stay. This was truly an exceptional experience.

Wonderful place to stay!

Pros: Getting up to that view every day! Cons: Nothing I didn’t enjoy during the stay! The location is on a hillside. You can walk to a great beach but walking back can be tough. Don’t forget this is to be expected if your house is perched on a hillside!! We loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Small point - another fridge wouldn’t go amiss as when there’s 7 people in hot weather you need lots of cold drinks!!!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Casa Geniol has the potential to be a fantastic holiday home, but unfortunately there were too many issues for us to rate it more highly.Communication before arrival was extremely poor. We were given details for someone who apparently no longer worked for the company, causing unnecessary stress. On arrival we had air-conditioning issues and, when raised, the owner was rude and dismissive, telling us on three occasions that we could simply leave.Our biggest concern was safety. This property should NOT be advertised as child-friendly in its current condition. There are no handrails on any internal or external stairs. Inside there are around 44 steep steps with no rails, including an open-sided area beside the lounge which we felt was extremely dangerous for small children. The decking was damaged, poorly fitted and dangerous, causing our little boy to trip and fall.Cleanliness and maintenance were disappointing. The pool had thick scum around the edges and missing tiles, outdoor furniture and windows were dirty, towels stained, door handles falling apart and the outside lock didn't work. There was also a strong sewage smell throughout the property and outside, which became so unpleasant I had to change bedrooms.There were numerous other maintenance and equipment issues.We have photos and videos of all issues mentioned and can provide them on request.A beautiful property with huge potential, but safety, cleanliness, maintenance & communication need significant improvement

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. Your concerns about safety, especially regarding the stairs and outdoor areas, are completely valid, and we will work to address these issues to create a safer environment for future guests. We also apologize for the communication breakdown and the air-conditioning issues. It’s unfortunate that you felt dismissed, and we will strive to improve our responsiveness and support for our guests. Cleanliness and maintenance are very important to us, and we regret that we fell short in these areas. Thank you for recognizing the property’s potential. Your feedback is invaluable, and we truly appreciate you sharing it with us. Best regards, Your Holidu Team.

Pros: A beautifully designed, well maintained villa (just as you hope from the photos) which made it so easy to quickly settle into our relaxing Christmas holiday. Although we had two weeks of beautiful sunny weather, the unheated pool was a little too chilly for us to use more than once. However the steam room and open fireplace were great additions to our winter evenings. Loved the setting and location (stunning sunrises and ocean views can be seen from most rooms) and with a car (you do need one), it is easy to get to Granada, Malaga and the other coastal towns/ beaches nearby. Although off season - I think we were pretty much the only people staying in our road- the town and beach restaurants were open, the roads were clear, parking was easy and the atmosphere was relaxed rather than dead. Would definitely like to explore the area further, and would happily stay at Casa Geniol again.

Ein wunderschönes Haus für einen wunderbaren Urlaub

Pros: Das Haus ist einfach wunderbar mit einem großartigen Blick aufs Meer egal von welchem Raum aus. Es ist liebevoll und stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Haus ist modern und gleichzeitig super gemütlich. Die Hauseigentümer haben offensichtlich einen tollen Geschmack, liebe zum Detail und haben das Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet. Jonathan, die gute Seele des Hauses, hat uns toll empfangen, uns alles gezeigt (das war wirklich eine Mega Haustour - Danke nochmal dafür) und wir haben uns super willkomnen und betreut gefühlt. Obwohl das Wetter ausnahmsweise nicht an allen Tagen schön war, haben wir uns so wohlgefühlt und durften das Lichterspiel (Blitze) über dem Meer bestaunen - was für ein Erlebnis. Vielen Dank für einen tollen Aufenthalt und die liebevolle Betreuung. Cons: Wir können einfach überhaupt nicht meckern, nur schwärmen

Pros: Das Ferienhaus entsprach in jeder Hinsicht unseren Erwartungen. Die Grosszügigkeit des Hauses war für uns ( 3 Paare ) ideal,da neben Räumen und Plätzen der Gemeinsamkeit auch ausreichend Möglichkeit zum Rückzug und zum Arbeiten gegeben war. Voraussetzung ist die Anreise mit einem Mietwagen oder eigenen Pkw. La Herradura ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Fahrten nach Granada,aber auch zu Wanderungen in der Sierra Nevada. Dieses Ferienhaus kann sehr empfohlen werden.

Pros: Wir, 2 Paare, wurden im nächstgelegenen Ort, trotz später Ankunft, durch die Hausverwaltung empfangen, zum Feriendomizil begleitet und durch die Villa geführt. Unsere Erwartungen wurden in allen Belangen übertroffen. Das Haus liegt direkt an einem Berghang mit herrlichem Blick nach rechts auf einen Hafen und links auf die nächstgrößere Stadt in der Umgebung. Das Interieur ist sehr geschmackvoll und bietet den Rahmen für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Wir haben alle Zimmer in einem sehr reinlichen Zustand vorgefunden. Die Hausverwaltung hat uns in jeder Hinsicht unterstützt und hilfreich zur Seite gestanden. Mit unseren Leihwagen waren Ausflugsziele in der Region (Malaga, Granada, Sierra Nevada) schnell und einfach innerhalb einer Stunde zu erreichen. Das Domizil ist sehr empfehlenswert. Wir waren sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal vor Ort.

Pros: Wir können nur eines über dieses Haus sagen: Es war von A-Z perfekt. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr durchdacht, es fehlt an nichts. Die Küche ist überkomplett ausgestattet. Der Ausblick aus jedem Zimmer ein Traum. Man kann sich einfach nicht sattsehen. Überdies war der komplette Schriftverkehr mit dem Hauseigner sehr unkompliziert. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Pros: Väldigt fint och stilrent hus. Härligt med flera olika terrasser och en fantastisk pool! Inte speciellt barnvänligt. Vi reste med en tvååring och det är inte att rekommendera i det här huset. Vi hade hyrbil vilket är ett måste här. Finns inga butiker i närheten utan allt är i byn. Väldigt backigt och att gå upp är inte att rekommendera.
