The villa was amazing, Sunnrises and sunsets fabulous. Clean, very well equipped. Beautiful swimmimg pool. Bedrooms got rather hot at night even though we kept all the shutters closed during the day, but it was hot temperatures.A great place to stay if you want to chill out, just a very narrow steep road up to the property........but then you wouldnt have those views otherwise.Fantastic communications throughout our trip.

We stayed two weeks in early July, 2 adults and a teen. We loved the large pool and amazing views from the deck. House was well equipped, kitchen was well stocked, perfect for our family. Very clean, private, and comfortable. We were there during a heat wave and took advantage of the bedroom upstairs with the air conditioning (bedrooms downstairs have ceiling fans). We were also very appreciative of the covered car-port, to keep our rental car out of the scorching hot sun. Paquita, the owner, was very responsive with any questions or issues, and helped to make our stay a really nice experience. Thank you again! We would definitely recommend this lovely villa.

We loved our stay at this villa, it was a brilliant holiday for me and my partner. The views from the villa were exceptional and it was in a quiet location which meant it was easy to relax. The host was very accommodating and made it very easy for us to locate the villa by being taken to it on our first day. The villa was perfectly clean on arrival and the driveway made parking not an issue. There was only one issue. The villa is advertised as having air con, which it has but only in one room which is upstairs. This was fine for me and my partner but it maybe an issue for larger parties as it was very hot when we went and I donât believe I would have been able to sleep in the other un air conditioned rooms. It maybe something the host may want to invest in. Apart from that, we loved our stay and would recommend it, the views from the pool were enough for us to want to come again.

Stunning views
Loved this house and setting! Quite a trek to get there but worth it once you see the views. Only negatives were that it was COLD and windy in Feb and the heating is really dependent on one wood stove in the LR. Also electric heaters in bedrooms to take chill off in pm and am. Landlady was very responsive and helped a lot with suggestions for local restaurants and sights. Lots of dogs barking (a la France!) otherwise very quiet and peaceful.

The villa is in a stunning location with amazing views. Easy drives to local towns like Mijas and into Malaga. The villa has loads of outdoor seating so you always have somewhere to sit in the sun which was lovely!

Summer sun
We had a great stay in the mountains. Fabulous position and views from the pool area, and so many places to take in the environment around the property. Quite a drive up the hill to get there, but totally worth it! We watched the beautiful sunset every night.

Idyllic
Absolutely fantastic! Piquita was a superb host, really felt able to contact her if required (but everything was fab so not needed!) Sam who met us and sorted the keys etc was lovely and helpful too. The villa itself has everything you require and is beautiful but the thing that sets this property above and beyond is the pool and the stunning view! Could spend all day and all evening just enjoying it. No need to leave. So stock up the fridge and have some time away from the usual grind. Highly recommend!

Just perfect! Highly recommend.
We were very sad to leave the villa after 7 wonderful days. The villa has all you need for a very comfortable stay, with a super pool to cool down in and breathtaking views. We wanted a relaxing and peaceful holiday and we certainly got it.
We were easily able to communicate with Paquita and when we had a small issue with the hot water it was dealt with swiftly.
I cannot make any negative comments as there simply werenât any negatives.
We would highly recommend booking this villa if you are looking to completely wind down surrounded by the mountains and blue skies.

This Villa is very old, it is in the middle of nowhere and itâs up a very very steep hill, the views are beautiful but itâs not close to anything at all. The pool was very cold which was a shame because the weather was 30 to 32 and the pool was still very cold to get into. The sunbeds unfortunately are broken quite a lot of them we managed to find two that werenât. It really couldâve done with a good clean inside and outside before we arrived I felt there was lots of ants everywhere and lots of bugs, especially as you went out the back door on the ceiling there was loads of like snail things stuck to the roof. We also did request that we were left alone and nobody to disturb us. The pool man came in which was fine. But the Gardner we were told was going to come in on three separate occasions and two of them he didnât turn up which made us feel like we couldnât really wander around in our swimwear. We needed to cover up which werenât very happy about. Would I stay here again? No it was too old for me. It needs doing up. There was too much furniture inside too many personal things I wouldnât of took children there because the stairs that went up to the third bedroom there was no balustrade and it wouldâve been dangerous for children to go up and down there. You have to really be aware that we had two showers as there was only two of us and the hot water went because you are in the Campo. There was no Aircon either which I didnât notice when I booked it

wonderfully relaxing
Property was very nice. The outside and pool were the best. Must be half a dozen set of furniture for chasing or avoiding the sun. Very quiet set away from Cartama. Paquit and Sam were very helpful and friendly. We also had fun talking to the pool man neither of us having many words in common. He was fun too. The inside of the house was well appointed with all the amenities you would expect. Highly recomended

Stunning views but not much else
Getting to the place is a little challenging as there is room for one car and it's a two-way street. the house was great, so were the views but communication wasn't all that great. We had problems from day one; we ended up having to postpone appointments to have someone come and rectify the issues. It's a good thing I insisted in having the maintenance guy's # even after I was told by the owner's brother that it wasn't necessary... We ended up not being able to make coffee the first day as the gas tank was emptied, the TV wasn't working and had to be completely rebooted, electricity went out at 22h one night and had I not called the maintenance guy we still wouldn't have electricity... it happened twice where we had to find a grid in the street to turn the lights back on... Only people who live remotely know this! I was traveling with my 75 and 81 year old parents who kind of wanted a little comfort. And had I been the owner, seeing all the problems encountered, 1. I would have offered a little something in compensation but 2. mostly!!! I would check in on my guests? and see how they are? none of the above! and for that and other comments that I will keep to myself I give it a 2 stars! For Antonio the maintenance guy, who sent i one of his guys at 6h30 one day I give him a 10 star! as well as the view!

Amazing terasse and views, ideal for inland trips
The house is quite high up a mountain over a small town with amazing views of Malaga and further North, the terasse is just fantastic when the sun is out, and the location is convenient for trips inland, eg. Alhambra, Zipline, Ronda etc, but still within 20 mins of the beach and downtown Malaga. Hosts were very kind and efficient in every interaction. House is rustic and charming, and it has everything you need, our only real issue was temperature. It was Feb. and 5-16C the first day, and even with the extra radiators and firewood supplied by our hosts it might have been difficult to stay warm, if the weather had not improved. However, this coolness is probably a plus in the warm season

Tranquility and nature
The photos online don't do justice to this villa - it is a very lovely property in a really beautiful spot, high on the hillside above Cartama. The views are absolutely spectacular and the wildlife impressive: we saw eagles, quails and goats every day. One of the daily highlights was "goat time" when the goatherd brought his goats down the hillside with a tinkling of goatbells around 1030 every morning!
We walked down to eat in Cartama on a couple of occasions - it's about a 15-20 minute walk and a nice way to work off your dinner coming back home up the hill. The pool was perfect - it's a very good size, although the location on the mountainside meant we needed to scoop out vegetation every so often. We found that the veranda was a godsend in the heat - our visit coincided with a heatwave and we spend much of our time eating, relaxing and generally chilling out on the lovely daybed and many comfortable chairs and in the evenings it was great watching the sun set and night fall from there.
There are extensive patio-d grounds with sun loungers and tables to allow you to eat outside and in the shade at most times of day and the pool and gardens are very well maintained and really beautiful. Our only niggle would be that the upstairs bedroom was really too hot to sleep in during the heatwave that coincided with our visit, but we could all fit in downstairs so it wasn't a problem for us. There's no air conditioning but plenty of fans provided so we made good use of them!
The villa is in a good location for visiting the coast and Malaga. We also visited the nearby lakes, or embalsas, really beautiful and about an hour's drive away at Ardales. Worth it for the swim in brilliant blue water. We also drove to Granada to see the Alhambra - it is a couple of hours away by car and spectacular.
One of the nicest things about the villa was that we felt really well looked after - we had a couple of teething problems and the lovely Amelia and Jesus were absolutely delightful, as was Bernie the owner - they couldn't do enough to help us and made us feel really welcome. Thank you!

Lovely place
The property has lovely views of the mountains and has a very good wood burning stove which we made good use of as we were there in February. Thank you Paquita for being generous with the logs. We drove towards Ronda to get amazing walks in the national park. Also highly recommend Santiagoâs Kitchen which does excellent food.

Trip with Friends
Overall all went well. It was a bit of shock to drive to the house at the first time with a van because the house was located up on the hill.
Also we had some problems with a smaller toilet and shower. Wc got stucked very easily and we avoided to use it. Also there was no hot water from smaler shover. Oven was also a bit of tricky. When we used owen and stow, we were not albe to use those at the same time. Othervise house was very nice and it was very nice to have a private pool. Overall I could use this house againđ

Superb Villa and spectacular views
Had 14 fantastic days in the Villa which is lovely and clean. The kids loved the pool one of the best Iv seen. Good communication from Samir and Paquita. The views from the Villa are spectacular and I could just sit and watch the world go by. Nice to watch the swallows fly over the pool, birds of prey and we were lucky to have a Iberian ibex appear on the property and watch it wandering about. The Villa is well equipped and has plenty of outside space/seating. Would certainly stay here again. Highly recommend

Lovely villa with pool
We chose the villa because of its location in relation to a wedding we were attending in Cartama. We rented for 8 nights to make it into a family holiday and had a fantastic time.
The location is spectacular - nearly at the top of the hill with far reaching views across the valley, and looking down on the castle.
The villa had everything youâd expect, including a gas barbecue and the pool was clean.
You really need a car or at least to use taxis to get your shopping up the hill, but if you enjoy hiking there are great walks right from the villa.
Highly recommended.

Lovely villa in beautiful surroundings
We stayed for a week with 5 adults. Plenty of room for all of us. Lovely pool and stunning sunsets!! Very quiet and chilled area. Had a walk down to the castle ruins and church which was lovely.
Villa is quite old in style which we didn't mind with a very Spanish type kitchen. Cooker took a little getting used to but mastered it after a few days.
Emilia and her husband were so helpful and so kind. We had a water issue one day and Emilia sorted it our straight away and couldn't have been more helpful.
Few things could do with some updating like the sunloungers but all in all it was a comfy villa with all that we needed.
