Highly recommend this villa, the views were amazing, the pool was refreshing, A/C was good, Carl (propert manager) was always quick to respond to messages and happy to help, a car is essential.
It was a great stay at a very beautiful location. I was disappointed in finding out at the last minute that we would have to pay for the hot tub, daily and when we did pay the hot tub was not hot enough. Other than that, I highly recommend this place.
This was a lovely stay which is all about the outside space. Gorgeous terrace with outside bar area and very big and clean pool.
The villa could do with a bit of a face lift and need new outdoor umbrellas that work but small issues compared to stunning views and get away from it all vibe.
Hope to return again

Magnificent house.
Inside needs some refreshing. Some Kitchen draws and doors are broken.
Bed sheets were missing for 1 bed.
Otherwise outside is top. We spent all weekend outside. Little outside kitchen & barbecue was top. Needs some deep cleaning and refresh but overall good.
Lovely stay ⊠stunning views, quiet, peaceful and private .. this is an upside down house .. not an issue but stairs are a bit steep and little bit precarious⊠I wouldnât call child friendly. The villa was just a little over 7km not 5km as described, so a little over 10 min drive .. kitchen a bit tired ⊠Carl was a great host and easy contactable⊠Would visit villa again
Pros/ Key insights for guests:
- Fantastic outdoor space with lovely views and not overlooked.
- Well stocked property overall for daily life, including kitchen materials (and leftover non-perishables from previous guests).
- We would return to the property, we feel it is good value
- Potential guests need be comfortable re property logstics (quite far from nearest corner shop, a trek to coast, windy roads that mean travel takes longer)
- Property manager very responsive & helpful
Well intended suggestions for further improvements:
- Bedrooms downstairs feel dated and basic (note absence of photos) - an upgrade would really elevate the property.
- Sliding doors from conservatory very stiff
- Removing clutter (eg under sink) & personal items from the owner (eg drawer full of owner paperwork in the lounge) would be really helpful.
- Add grip strips to the 2 sets of outdoor steps for wet-weather safety OR provide optional padlocks for the gates as they are dangerout when wet (I injured myself)
- Welcome pack would be amazing eg to provide information about facilities (eg hidden wash machine, how best to manage the wasps that ruin outdoor dining intentions)
- Can the fallen figs be managed between guests? There were a lot, they kept sticking to our shoes (unavoidable due to volume of them) and they attracted wasps
- Getting in and out of the driveway entrance is really tricky, could this be improved?
- Fix the drawer fronts in the kitchen that fall off when opening drawer
Wow, what a place, what a view!
The small road from the main road is a little bit tricky but we got used to it pretty fast. The main road and the road further up the hill on the back of the house is nothing to worry about. Some traffic in the morning and in the afternoon but nothing that is annoying.
Garden is mature with both lemontrees and figs in the front and the downhill of the house.
Poolarea is fantastic with an amazing view of the valley and the sea. Use some kind of shoes around the pool, the deck gets pretty hot during the day. Pool is just great with a deep and a shallow area.
Yes, the kitchen needs some TLC but everything was clean and tidy and it was well equipped for our needs. The beds are a bit stiff but we slept well.
Garbage has to be thrown into the bins along the main road or in the villages.
Wifi is OK but if you are a family of four or more, you need some 4G on the phone as a complement.
Carl answered our questions on Whatsapp and even came around to show us how to turn on the pool lights. Very friendly and always with a smile.
Perfect house to explore the surroundings, about 15 mins to CĂłmpeta and Torrox.
We had an amazing two weeks and will definitely follow the development of the house and come back in the near future.
Der AuĂenbereich ist der absolute Hammer. Im Haus könnte mal wieder etwas gemacht werden, aber durch die tolle AuĂenkĂŒche hat es keine groĂe Bedeutung!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Villa â alles war sauber, gut ausgestattet und die Lage einfach traumhaft. Perfekt fĂŒr entspannte Tage in Spanien. Gerne wieder!
We hebben heel erg genoten van het huis en het zwembad. Het zwembad is top, een diep en ondiep gedeelte en de grootte vh zwembad was perfect. Alles is aanwezig in het huis, de airco's zijn erg prettig. Je kan alleen dvd's/videobanden op tv kijken. De wifi is goed in en rondom het huis. De wasmachine is ook erg fijn.
Guter Service, schöner AuĂenbereich, innen und bei Sauberkeit mit Luft nach oben
Empfang und Check-In mit Verwalter Carl einfach und schnell. Alles Top. WĂ€hrend der Anwesenheit stand Carl immer schnell zur VerfĂŒgung und kĂŒmmerte sich. Ausfall des Jacuzzi - am Folgetag behoben. Warmwasserausfall am frĂŒhen Abend - am Folgetag behoben. Top Service!
Leider bei erster Ansicht des Objektes ErnĂŒchterung. Teils nicht ordentlich geputzt, in den SchrĂ€nken war Papier ausgelegt und darunter nicht geputzt. Kleine SchĂ€den innen, wie abgeplatze Farbe, Risse, Putzausbesserungen nicht ĂŒberstrichen und die Elektrik vor allem im "Agua Bereich" der Waschmaschine "abenteuerlich". WasserhĂ€hne in KĂŒche und Bad locker, Schubladen in der KĂŒche defekt und alles recht alt. Die GeruchsbelĂ€stigung durch Abfluss im Bad ist teils stark und stört.
Im AuĂenbereich besser, aber auch hier einiges zu tun. RolloÂŽs im Wintergarten defekt, Markise zerrissen, Sonnenschirm defekt. An der Wand an der Rampe zum Pool ein groĂer Riss von oben bis unten in der Mauer. Lampen/ Bewegungsmelder kaputt.
Die Sauberkeit in der "AuĂenkĂŒche" haarstrĂ€ubend. Grillrost und gesamte KĂŒche sehr schmutzig und nicht gereinigt, teils ohne Funktion (Herd). Es stehen Chemikalien vom Pool herum. Am oberen Eingang zum GelĂ€nde sehr viel MĂŒll abgelegt.
Terrasse und Poolbereich entschĂ€digen jedoch. Schön zu sitzen und zu schwimmen, tolle Aussicht, Jacuzzi ist groĂzĂŒgig und schön, gerade Abends. Tolle Beleuchtung fĂŒr schöne laue Sommerabende. Wenn man hier mal ein wenig Geld und Zeit investiert, wirdÂŽs wieder richtig toll.
Das Haus ist fĂŒr ungestörte Ferien perfekt gelegen und auch in den AuĂenbereichen sehr groĂzĂŒgig.
Der Empfang durch Carl war Ă€uĂerst herzlich und unkompliziert!
Der Pool war ausreichend groĂ, hatte verschiedene Tiefenbereiche und erfrischt herrlich nach einen heiĂen Tag.
Ein paar Sachen sollten allerdings in nĂ€chster Zeit renoviert werden (Sonnenmarkise und -rollos, WasserhĂ€hne, SchubkĂ€sten KĂŒche).
Alles in allem ein sehr schönes Haus zum Weiterempfehlen.
Die Unterkunft war super, sauber, wunderschöne Lage, einfach alles top. Einzig der Geruch im Erdgeschoss war ein wenig nervigâŠâŠ ansonsten super nett!
We spent a week in this lovely place! We enjoyed the large and clean pool, the quietness and especially the fantastic views. Our purpose was a rest holiday, this was ideal. The trips we made were to Competa village, Thorox village and Thorox costa. We hope to come back here, but we will not forget the mosquitospray! The insects were very aggressive this moment of the year.
