Beautifully located, nicely decorated House in the really lovely village of Maro. We loved sitting on the terrace in the morning, while having a coffee as well as watching the sun set in the evenings. A short walk to beautiful Maro Beach. Nice and quiet surroundings.

Lovely Quiet Property and Village

We loved staying at Zoe and Nigel's house in Maro. The house is a gem, clean with a well supplied kitchen. Maro is cute, quiet village close to Nerja, Frigiliana and other sights. Highly recommend taking the drive east down the coast road (340) to Salobreña. Rivals Big Sur and Hwy 1 in many places. We had a great visit and time.

Fabulous comfortable house, friendly helpful hosts

We had a fabulous time in this beautiful house in Maro. Zoe and Nigel were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. The house was clean and tastefully furnished, the bed was super comfortable and having the wood burner was just perfect. We can 100% recommend this place. Perfect for our winter break in stunning Andalusia.

Lovely house in a Spanish village

Perfect house in a quiet village close to Nerja, although probably best to take the bus or taxi there in the heat of the day. The nearby beaches a a fair walk down lovely unspoilt lanes and beautiful when you get there. they were quiet in May, but I bet they get busy in the season.

Comfortable townhouse in a sleepy village

We loved our stay at this comfortable townhouse in sleepy Maro. The property is beautifully and sympathetically restored with a well-equipped kitchen and every modern-day comfort. Being July we were outdoors most of the time; barbecuing in the shady courtyard, or having a sun-downer on the upper terrace while admiring the views over farmland, Nerja and the ocean. There are a handful of good bars and restaurants in the village and we enjoyed exploring the coves to the East; Las Calas del Pino being out favourite (despite the clamber down). Zoe, the owner, was super-helpful. We’ll certainly book more than three nights next time!

Great stay for the holidays

We really enjoyed this lovely, newly renovated home for our 4 day visit to the area. The town of Maro was very sweet and felt quite authentic. We had a fabulous New Year's Eve on the balcon in Nerja where we dined outside and danced until well after midnight. We would love to come back and repeat the experience. The kitchen was well equipped and if you looked closely you would fine rosemary in the garden, braided garlic in the kitchen and lemons on the table to help make a great meal. Nigel and Zoe were quite helpful and patient with our questions. The only thing I would have liked is more reading light. It was a dark time of year and the house seemed dimly lit.

Lovely accommodation in a quiet village

We truly enjoyed our very short stay in this property, but sadly, our 3 week planned stay turned into 6 days , three of which were very stressful, due to the Covid19 crisis. We had to cancel 2 weeks of our stay as the crisis worsened in Spain and we were called home to Canada by our Prime Minister. We had been in Spain already for 10 days before arriving in Maro. Our host Zoe was understanding and helpful. Unfortunately the owners' policy was no cash refund, but we were offered a credit for two week stay another time. Although we may never travel again, we wish the owners well as this is a beautiful property.

Comfortable Townhouse in a Beautiful Town

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in late March staying in this very comfortable, clean, and beautifully restored townhouse filled with many decorative Moorish touches. The kitchen was very well equiped and even had 2 ovens which came in handy on several occasions. It was chilly while we were there but the house has heating downstairs and portable heaters should you need heat elsewhere. Nigel and Zoe live close by and are always available should you require help. Maro is a quiet, pretty town which serves as a good hub for day trips to many interesting towns in the area as well as to Malaga. Nerja is close by and a good place to buy groceries, shop and to eat. Be sure to visit the museum in Nerja. It is very informative about how the communities of Nerja and Maro evolved. We had a very good meal in the Detunta restaurant in Maro. Before you arrive in Maro, be sure to pick up basic food necessities. The stores in Maro may be closed.

Beautiful home with wonderful hosts, and...

The home is every bit as beautiful as you hope. This is a time that the photos really don’t do it justice. Zoe was fantastic even going so far as to come and pick up our suitcases (we flew in from the US so got in early morning), so we didn’t have to worry about them all day. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. We were there the second week in August and it was HOT! The A/C in the upstairs bedroom was a huge benefit as it was very hard to keep the rest of the house cool enough to be comfortable even with a fan in the bedroom off the courtyard. Due to the heat, we chose not to go all the way down to Maro beach as the climb back up the steep hill was not a pleasant one. We opted instead for either going into Nerja or nearby Torrox Costa. I think having a car would have been helpful but given the parking situation, opted out. The walk into Nerja realistically is more like 45 minutes and there are busses that go from the roundabout. Of course, the caves have always been a must-see and are an easy walk. There are small shops that sell food and beach stuff. We had coffee in the mornings in Maro but chose to eat meals wherever we were headed for the day. Taxis from Nerja cost about €10. Did I mention how awesome Zoe was?

Séjour très mitigé

Petite maison typiquement locale plutôt fonctionnelle et bien décorée. Les propriétaires sont réactifs si besoin. Il y a bien 3 chambres, dont une grande au 1er étage, avec une climatisation adaptée aux fortes chaleurs d’été. En revanche, la 2eme chambre du RCH ne dispose que d’un ventilateur et reste chaude durant cette période. Et la supposée 3eme chambre double est un four, car elle donne sur le patio qui lui-même est impossible à rafraîchir .. De plus le climatiseur du salon déverse sa chaleur dans le patio et dans la 3eme chambre, ce qui ne fait qu’augmenter la température du lieu qui devient vite irrespirable. Concernant le parking, en Août il est impossible de trouver une place libre durant la journée. Par contre il est possible de garer sa voiture dans un parking public et de ne plus la bouger. Les 2 plages les plus proches à pied, sont difficiles d’accès; il ne reste donc que la solution voiture pour aller sur les plages de Nerja où le problème de stationnement demeure ! En conclusion: Maison à déconseiller fortement durant la période chaude de l’été.

Sehr empfehlenswerte Ferienwohnung

Wir hatten ein paar ganz wunderbare Tage in Zoes und Nigels Haus in Maro. Der Ort ist sehr schön, ganz ruhig und lang nicht so überlaufen wie Nerja. Auch zwei schöne Strände, die man zu Fuß erreichen kann, haben wir viel besucht. Das Haus ist wunderbar und bietet alles, was man sich für einen Urlaub wünscht. Besonders lustig fanden wir das zweite Schlafzimmer, das man über den Hof erreichen kann, wie ein kleines Künstleratelier. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet, sodass wir gut kochen konnten und uns auch über den Grill sehr gefreut haben. Das Haus ist gemütlich und bietet viel Platz, im Innenhof kann man wunderbar essen. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern war sehr gut, Fragen wurden immer sofort beantwortet und alle Wünsche erfüllt. Wir können diese Ferienwohnung sehr empfehlen

About the host

Hosted by Zoe Cawthorn

Host profile image
We have lived in Spain since 2003. Living in the Alpjurras until 2017, we then moved to Frigiliana.

Whilst living in Orgiva we spent 3 years completely renovating a property and subsequently rented it out for holidays. We then spent the next few years searching for another property closer to the sea.

We were delighted when we found this old town house in the, tranquil, little Spanish village of Maro, in need of renovation. We then spent 15 months renovating this property.

We love the Spanish way of life and enjoy renovating properties. Although we both grew up in the UK (me in Surrey and Nigel in Manchester) I spent 6 years living in Spain in the 1980's and wanted, more than anything, to move back here to live.

Nigel was looking for a new adventure so was more than happy to try Spain. Neither of us have a single regret and love it here.

We enjoy meeting our guests, who come from all over the world . We like to make sure that they are comfortable so that they are able to enjoy their holiday to the fullest.

Why they chose this property

This old town house is in the quiet Spanish village of Maro. within walking distance of bars, restaurants and a couple of shops. It is 5 minutes drive into Nerja or 30 minutes walk. The property has been done up to a high standard and is very comfortable. Well situated for sight seeing, shopping or just relaxing. Has wifi free wifi and booth Spanish and UK television.

What makes this property unique

It is an authentic Spanish village. The bourganvilla in the courtyard, the views of Nerja and the sea from the upstairs patio and the way it lent itself to be modernised whilst being able to keep the character of the house, are what made us choose this property over the many others that we looked at over the 8 years it took us to find it.
