Lovely villa with fantastic location and views

We had a very enjoyable stay at La Joya. Despite the flooding of only a few days before, the property was in an excellent condition and the access roads were fine. Jose and his family were very helpful with the few minor problems that we had and they sorted them immediately. We would definitely look to stay there again if we are coming to the area. Excellent value for money

Really lovely house and grounds in a beautiful location. Excellent views over the valley and to the mountains beyond. Sitting outside at sunset is worth the booking alone. House had everything we needed. Pool perfectly useable in October if you bring a wetsuit! Loved the wandering goats. Good grocery store in Villanueva. Good food at Hotel Fuente del Sol. El Torcal well worth a visit. Many thanks to the host. We will be back.

Great house with much space around. Very quite, no direkt neighbours. Jose is very helpful and caring even when it comes to topics not directly dealing with the house.The only minor thing is that in case someone is moving in the upper rooms, this can be heared in the rooms below. This should be considered especially, when traveling with kids.

Thank you so much for your kind words about the house. We’re glad you enjoyed the space and the quiet surroundings. The upper floor is entirely wooden—two layers of wood with insulation in between. While it keeps the house warm and cozy, wooden floors can transmit footsteps, so movement upstairs may be heard below. Thanks again, and we’d be happy to welcome you back!

Idyllic *****

We loved the villa, the pool, the area and the hosts. The villa is full of character and very well furnished, not the usual ‘cast-offs’ we usually get in properties in this area and price range. The pool was a great size and depth and bug free thanks to the ever active pool bot. Great seating areas inside and outside of the sun and air conditioning in the main lounge area too. Kitchen was well equipped and our hosts said we could help ourselves to the vegetables in the garden. Jose and his family were very kind, helpful and yet discrete. We will be back - if only to idle away another week relaxing in the hammock, watching the eagles fly above our heads and the sun set over the mountains. And one last note - very few wasps!!!

What a beautiful house! I would recommend anyone who loves Mountain Views and calm and peaceful area’s to book this house. The owners are really kind and they work really hard to make you have an excellent holiday. Laying in the hammock watching over the mountains is something you will not experience many times in your life. The pool was a bit cold during our stay (first two weeks of September) but also a welcoming cooling dive during hot weather.The house is well equipped and has comfortable sofa’s. We slept well in the king size bed in the main bedroom, where they also had a baby bed ready for our 6 months old baby with a very comfortable mattress. Attached to the main bedroom you also have a nice bathroom and a walk-in closet! The photo’s you see on VRBO are exactly as the house is in reality.There are some small shops for your daily needs nearby (within 15 minutes drive) for bigger needs you will have to go to Antequera (which is 30 minutes away from the house). And make sure you have a (rental) car that can handle the steep roads in the area. Thank you José and family for all your efforts to make our holiday very comfortable.

Wunderschön und gemütlich!! Mit Kamin kann man das Haus gut beheizen (wir waren Ende Dezember dort). Man kann früh morgens auf den Berg hinten Haus wandern und Sonnenaufgang beobachten. Mittags zieht ein freundlicher Hirte mit Ziegen vorbei. Abends Sonnenuntergang direkt vom Pool. Und extra Bonus ist die Hauskatze, die gerne kuschelt.

Séjour en Andalousie en famille

Agréable séjour en Andalousie avec notre famille. Le logement était conforme à la description de l'annonce. Nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la piscine compte tenu de la météo et des températures fraîches. Un conseil pour les futurs voyageurs : évitez de venir en Andalousie durant la semaine sainte si vous n'êtes pas fan du monde et des processions

Absolut erholsam

Das Haus war penibel sauber. Es liegt sehr ruhig, am Ende eines Privatweg, direkt am Hang. Den Wocheneinkauf sollte man großzügig planen, für Kleinigkeiten gibt es in La Joya einen MiniMarket. Für Teenager: 1a wlan Der Umgang mit dem Vermieter ist sehr angenehm. Und der Pool ist wirklich so groß wie auf dem Bild.

Vue imprenable

Nous avons passé de très agréables moments dans cette maison. Les équipements sont suffisants et la salle de vie est spacieuse. Suite à la tempête, des coulées de boue ont envahie les terrasses. Des personnes très aimables sont intervenues rapidement pour remettre en ordre la propriété. Si cela se présentait, nous serions heureux de revenir dans cette maison.

Gezellig, verzorgd huis met prachtige vergezichten

We hebben een heerlijke week in de herfstvakantie gehad met ons gezin met oudere pubers. Het huis is goed onderhouden, schoon met 3 slaapkamers met fijne bedden en boven een kleine, 2e badkamer. Ook de tuin en zwembad keurig onderhouden, het water voor nu helaas te koud. Fijne buitenruimte onder afdak met bbq en binnen open haard en grote smart-tv voor de filmliefhebber. In de buurt genoeg te doen. Fijn centraal gelegen

Es ist wirklich alles traumhaft und perfekt. Geschockt bin ich allerdings davon, dass man das Objekt auf einem vergleichbaren spanischen Portal 1/3 günstiger buchen kann, aber das scheint ja mittlerweile System zu haben. Fühlt sich halt am Ende einfach nicht gut an.

Guten Tag Timothy. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen das Haus gefallen hat! Es stimmt, auch wenn der Weg zum Haus gepflastert ist, ist es so, dass der letzte Hügel nur langsam erklimmen wird, wenn das Auto keine Leistung hat und wenn es schwer beladen ist. Wir hoffen, Sie wiederzusehen und wünschen Ihnen eine gute Heimkehr!

Cottage La Joya is een absolute droom, prachtig privé gelegen, met een tuin om u tegen te zeggen en een groot zwembad. Het huis zelf heeft iets van een Zwitserse chalet en alles wat nodig is om een super vakantie te hebben is aanwezig. In de omgeving kan je mooie wandelingen doen.

Beautiful quirky house in the peaceful mountains

Firstly we will be back. Lovely peaceful location in the mountains (the local lambs are herded around the property each evening - their bells and the bird song is the loadest thing to hear) The house has a quirky layout, spacious inside and outside. Our only difficulty was we can only speak English and a little Spanish would have helped but with a WhatsApp translator, and friendly locals we got by. A sign to the house from the road would be useful - for future renters look for a narrow concrete track off the road (there is a signpost for a restaurant further up the main road at the turning) and drive a Km up the mountain road. Overall a real treat to stay here.
