A Luxury 3 Bedroom Villa near to Comares, with wonderful views all around
This is a 3 Bedroom Luxury detached Villa, stylish and modern that is fully equipped with aircon and all facilities. Peña Blanca occupies a unique position atop a hill with distant sea views to the South. The Luxury Villa and Swimming Pool boast incredible views in every direction. Designed in style and constructed with comfort in mind, Peña Blanca is a home away from home where every detail has been incorporated to provide a perfect holiday location with modern conveniences included. It is set in a very private location and not overlooked by any other properties. The beautiful hilltop Village of Comares is a 5/10 minute walk away. This is another great property from Vine Ridge Retreats.
Great villa in an amazing location. Comares is a small village with a few bars and a great restaurant. The drive up to Comares is challenging but enjoyable. There are plenty of places to visit within an easy drive. The views from the pool are amazing and we saw the Ibex up close several times . Make sure you've got a torch if you're going to walk up to the village at night .David was easy to contact if we needed him . Fully recommended villa and hopefully we'll be back one day with the whole family.
We have just spent a fabulous week in the peace and quiet of this lovely property. It is very well equipped and very comfortable. It has beautiful views all around and is very private. We made good use of the bbq and spent much of our time by the pool which gets the sun most of the day. There is a good selection of books and dvds if required. We saw the Ibex on several occasions which was really fascinating. The wonderful town of Comares is only a 10 minute walk away and the people are very friendly. It's a straight forward drive from Malaga airport and we stopped of at a supermarket in Velez - Malaga for our supplies. However, there was a good welcome pack on arrival at the villa if you want to head straight there. We would highly recommend this beautiful property. Thank you Carl and Maria.
4th time staying at Pena Blanca. Never experienced such a sense of space and quietness anywhere. Spanish Ibex popping by to drink from the pool!!! Magical. Such a beautiful Villa in a beautiful spot. Thank you Carl for help re Jose for our family and for just letting us have the privacy we wanted xx
First thing to say is that my family and I loved this villa, the location is stunning with views for miles - a real chance to unwind and spend time together. The villa itself is lovely, spacious and the pool is fab (very deep - canât stand if less than 5â8â). The is a great bbq and pizza oven although we didnât use the pizza oven. Inside the kitchen is fab and has everything you need. The walk to village is as said only around 10-15 minutes but if you have any mobility issues or breathing problems then I wouldnât recommend it. A car is essential for the location for shopping etc. There is air con which in Aug is needed but is paid by meter. It is very reasonable (we spent less than âŹ10 for a week) but we didnât know this in advance which would have been more transparent - I do also understand the logic of the charge. The other thing we were not aware of was the need to dispose of our own rubbish - which was inconvenient but doable in the local village. Better information on recycling and where to do this would have been helpful. The town has a couple of nice eating places which are much alike. Would definitely recommend zip line in Comares and more if you are adventurous! All in all a wonderful holiday! And we saw the Ibex who visited the pool! Thanks to Ursula who met us and showed us to location and Carl who popped in with some things we needed.
Als je van rust en ruimte houdt dan is dit de perfecte uitvalsbasis. Het huis ligt op een half uur rijden van de kust en een uur van Malaga. Het ligt hoog op de berg, net onder het dorp Comares. Via een steil voetpad ben je in 10 minuten in het dorp. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en heeft meerdere terrassen waar je heerlijk kunt zitten. Uitrusting is echt super. Enige minpunt zijn misschien de bedden, deze vonden wij iets minder maar dat is natuurlijk persoonlijk. Begeleiding en communicatie met de beheerders is super, ze staan meteen voor je klaar en antwoorden snel.
Just got back from spending nine days at Pena Blanca, at what a great holiday it was. We spent the majority of the time at the house, just relaxing and enjoying all the fantastic sunspots and balconies that the villa has, not to mention the swimmingpool. Kitchen is well assorted, even has a nice outdoor kitchen and very nice barbecue - everything clean and well functioning. The rooms are great as well, and all in all - there's not much to not like about this place. The best of it all has to be the amazing view of the surrounding areas - it is simply breathtaking, and time and time again we could sit there and just take in the scenery and enjoy the sheer beauty of it all.
All in all, this is a fantastic villa - located on a mountaintop, but still not too far from Malaga or the beach, but the peace and quiet is perfect. We would definitely consider coming back again.
We had an amazing holiday in this absolutely wonderful villa in a stunningly beautiful location. Villa Pena Blanca exceeded our expectations and I would have to say this is by far the best villa that we have ever stayed in! The villa is spacious, tastefully decorated and perfect for large groups or families. The owner has thought of everything and this makes your stay a thousand times easier and more enjoyable. The outside space is equally as fantastic with a well maintained pool and terraces with views to die for. You are surrounded by panoramic views and the various balconies allow you to soak up this phenomenal location. Seeing the local herd of goats and the Ibex on a few nights just made this holiday even more special. I highly recommend a stay in Chris's beautiful villa. Last and not least we really appreciated the warm welcome from Ursula who is a fantastic and welcoming host and who explained everything we needed to know. Carl was also super helpful and responsive regarding our BBQ enquiry. We certainly felt extremely well looked after. I would love to visit again and May/June is certainly a great time to enjoy the amazing temperatures and this beautiful location.
We had a peaceful stay at Peña Blanca. The house is beautifully decoratet. The kitchen is well equiped. The Pool with the amazing views was our favorite. We enjoyed the silence and the pure nature sorounding the house. We defenatly have to come back. Thank you for the great time we could spend at Peña Blanca.
Excellent villa with stunning views on both sides. It is in a completely quiet and private position, but only 10-15 walk up to the small town of Comares. Villa has everything, was really clean and could easily accommodate 6 adults. Highly recommend if you like it peaceful & quiet.
Never had a better welcome! Beautiful house with fantastic views, almost 360°. Everything you ever hoped for was there, in-and outdoor kitchen. A place in the shade any time of day and a pool you could actually swim inđ
Ibex and eagles, lots of birds. Comares is a beautiful town and lot to see and do nearby. Hope to come back sometime!
Outstanding house with all necessary comfort, a fabulous view, full privacy, Nice swimming pool, wild ibex around the house at sunset that are impressive and last but not least a very warm welcome when checking in and flexibility with regards to check-in and check-out hours als we had early/late flights! Thanks Carl and Chris!
With one year delay due to Corona, we finally managed to get down and spend summer our vacation in this amazing villa in the summer of 2021.
It fully lived up to our expectations - and more!
We had a wonderful holiday with our two teenage boys aged 16 and 18 respectively. In addition, we had invited our mothers-in-law for 4 of the 14 days we were there.
We were all crazy about the pool which was 28 degrees hot.
The house is well suited for more people to go. There is plenty of space both indoors and outdoors.
A nice welcome was provided for us. There was a bottle of wine in the fridge together with juice and milk, and there were coffee in the cupboard as well as bread and jam for a light breakfast for the next day. However, remember to shop for catering on Sunday if you arrive on Saturday. You have to go all the way to Malaga to find a store that is open on Sundays.
It was nice with air conditioning in the bedrooms. Remember to bring coins to the vending machine.
The bedrooms are all with a great view and good beds. There were duvets in the closet if you were not only going to sleep with a blanket / cover. For Scandinavians, we can recommend bringing covers for single duvets, as in two of the rooms there are only double covers. The duvets can be used either individually or zipped together to double, which fits in the included cover.
There were plenty of towels, tea towels and dishcloths as well as hand soap and sulfo. There was also kitchen roll and toilet paper for the first few days.
There are plenty of refrigerators and plenty of space in the cupboards. The supermarket in Comares has pretty much everything, but you can safely buy big in larger supermarkets, because there is plenty of space. There was also plenty of crockery, bowls and pots.
We used the grill diligently.
The house appeared very clean and tidy as well as well maintained.
Action was also taken quickly if a problem arose along the way. Manager Carl and Chrisâ brother Andy are both friendly and welcoming and make sure everything is resolved quickly and satisfactorily. The answer will be quickly when you contact with a possible problem.
From the time we booked the house in 2019 and until Corona finally let us go, we have all the way experienced an easy and hassle-free communication with Chris.
We give both Peña Blanca and Chris our warmest recommendations. We would really like to come again another time!
Many greetings from
the Johannessen family

Schöner Urlaub in Villa mit atemberaubenden Panorama
Die Villa ist sehr schön. Viele Sitzmöglichkeiten auf verschiedenen Terassen, schattig wie auch sonnig. Einladender, sauberer Pool, der 2x die Woche geprĂŒft und gereinigt wurde. Comares ist ein wunderschöner Ort und die Villa auf dem HĂŒgel hat die beste Lage. Ausstattung wie beschrieben, allerdings funktionierte die Klimaanlage nicht richtig und die Villa war nicht so sauber wie wir es uns nach deutschem Standard gewĂŒnscht hĂ€tten. Wir empfehlen einen Mietwagen mit Automatikschaltung, da die StraĂen sehr anspruchsvoll sind.
Danke fĂŒr die freundliche Ăbergabe und den tollen Urlaub.
Weâve just had the most wonderfully relaxing fortnight at this stunning house with its 360* breathtaking views. The house itself is finished to a high standard equipped with everything you could possibly need and has a good sized pool (its quite deep) with plenty of loungers. The house was beautifully clean on arrival and a welcome pack with essentials had thoughtfully been provided. The views from the various furnished balconies and sundowner terrace are spectacular along with the incredible sunsets!
The beautiful Moorish village of Comares is only a ten minute uphill walk away with a small supermarket; cafe bar and restaurants.
Carl (the owners representative) gave us plenty of useful information about the house and pool etc and was very knowledgeable about the local area and places to visit / dine etc.
Weâve always made it a rule not to go to the same place twice but Pena Blanca may well be the exception to the rule!
Thank you, Lisa & Carl
We have not yet been on the trip due to covid. The owner has agreed to defer the holiday let until next year at the same price. We are happy with the communication we have had and are looking forward to staring next year. The ratings we have given can be ignored as we have not yet stayed.
Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The house is very clean, large and comfortable. Very peaceful surroundings and spectacular mountains. Spent evenings sitting on the front balcony star gazing. Comares is a beautiful little village. Enjoyed every minute!
My husband and I and our three children aged 9, 7 and 4 have just returned from our stay at Pena Blanca and had an amazing time. The house is ideal, with plenty of places to relax, good sized bedrooms plus modern and clean bathrooms and kitchen. The outside of the property was even more stunning with spectacular scenery in every direction. We spent the majority of our time enjoying the pool and made use of the many outdoor areas to eat meals, play games or to have a drink. The village of Comares is a fun walk up the ancient steps and it was good to explore the many small lanes and say hello to the locals who were very friendly.
We drove down to Velez-Malaga a couple of times to go to the larger shops and to spend a few hours at the coast, but each time we were glad to return to Pena Blanca. We also took a day trip to the Bioparc which was about 1 hour 20 minutes away and were considering a visit to some caves, but the children preferred to stay by the pool.
Thank you for a brilliant holiday, we definitely hope to come back sometime.
