We spent 2 weeks holidays with friends and kids. Villa has all what you need! Very clean ! Lovely jacuzzi and big pool . We enjoyed barbecue place a lot. 2km to Arenas village(take a walk there) ,12 km to Lidl and our favorite Mercadona. Also recommended Torre del Mar beach with many restaurants and shops. Also water fun park there, ideal for kids. Place is in very quite area ,really good to relax ,take swim , enjoy the sun and eat gorgeous figs from the tree :) Rafael is a fantastic host. Very friendly and helpful! We will be definitely visiting his place again :)

Very pretty villa with everything you need for a relaxing get away. Perfect for couples.

The home and the hosts were spectacular

We arrived and Maria met us, she was so warm and welcoming. The house has a beautiful pool, table tennis and was spotless. We loved our stay and will love to go back.

Lovely homely villa with a fantastic pool and the most fabulous view of anywhere we have stayed. The owners were very welcoming and it was such a treat to be able to eat fresh figs from the tree that had been warmed in the sun.

It was such a brilliant trip, the villa is so beautiful and has everything you could need. Frigiliana is gorgeous and the perfect place for a relaxing getaway with lots of sun and lovely views

If you want a relaxing chilled week, this place is for you. Completely private, very comfortable, beautifully finished rustic Spanish finca. Marvelous!!

Perfect accomodation!!

Great sea views, lovely pool

Wonderful holidays! The house is big enough for family of four to relax and rest. The views and surroundings are magnificent and the nearest town is just couple kilometres away. The house and pool were superbly clean and very well appointed. The owners are absolutely wonderful, always ready to help and give advice. They went over and above of anything you might expect from property owners. Including getting supermarket open for us after the closing hours and bringing us fresh churros on Saturdays. It was such a pleasure to stay in their home and we can't wait to go back!

We had a very nice experience in this house,especially the pool which was a real holidays gift for the children, I hope we'll come back soon.

Amazing villa and outdoor space. Pool, bbq area and outdoor lounge were fabulous. Inside was just as great. Will definitely revisit. Easy to reach Coín (10 minute drive) and the coast (35-40 minute drive depending on where you go). Kids loved the pool (as did we) and we saw lots of eagles, storks, butterflies and geckos.

Space, quiet, pool, location, views

Immaculate villa in a great location with easy access to Torrox costa and other areas of the eastern costa del sol. The villa has a lovely outdoor area with lots of space including a good size pool and bbq area. We had a very warm welcome from the hosts Ana and Jose who were always available for advice if needed.

Good time ,having covid tests form filling took the edge of the holiday also very expensive

Just what we needed after lockdown. Beautiful, quiet location but handy to get everywhere - Marbella, Malaga, Cordóba, mountain walking, local restaurants. Caring, friendly owner too.

It's a quiet place with a nice weather even in the heat of summer. The host is very kind and the place is well built and designed.

It was really great! We loved the place!

Great house with everything you need. The house is very well maintained by the owners. Good price quality.

Wij hebben 2 heerlijke weken doorgebracht in dit huis. Het is rustig, prive en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zou helemaal fenomenaal zijn als de heg gekortwiekt werd, zodat je vanaf het beneden terras ook een schitterend uitzicht hebt over de vallei. Dit huis staat zeker op onze lijst om nog eens naar terug te keren!

We were with three grown ups. The villa has a good layout, good seize swimming pool with enough shade and a barbecue area, lovely terrace with amazing view, well equipped kitchen. It is close to the village of Torrox where we enjoyed some lovely meals on the terraces and we did our shopping in the local shops. We had a great time and would recommend it to our friends.

A wonderful house, perfect for families with great outside space. The hillside location is quite a hike into town and beach, but the views are very much worth it. Kitchen and one bathroom are a little dated, but function well and are very much in the character of the property. Pool well maintained and large enough to keep our two teenage boys happy. Lovely hosts who popped in a couple of times to keep pool and grounds maintained. Property is also home to many well behaved cats who keep themselves happy outside ;-)

The house is set in a great location directly on the golf course. Every room in the house is spacious and decorated to a high standard, and each of the downstairs bedrooms are well appointed with a large double bed, dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The gardens are well maintained with decking leading from the house to the good sized pool. The town of Antequera is a 10 minute drive from the house, and is definitely worth a visit. I would recommend this house to groups and families. The owners live close by and are on hand to help with anything if required.

Bellissima finca fornita di tutto il necessario per un soggiorno da favola. La proprietaria è accogliente e gentile. Eravamo due famiglie ed è stato tutto perfetto, ci sono ampi spazi per tutti. Ottima la piscina, Comoda per visitare Siviglia, un po' più lontane le spiagge atlantiche. Da non perdere la visita a El Rocio

The house is in an Idyllic setting, in an orchard of fruit trees. Grapes, lemons, figs, almonds, oranges and herbs all round for the culinary minded. The sun sets behind the mountain in the evening, giving the verandas a break from the heat of the day. Marbella is a short drive away (10 minutes to la Canada), and Coin about 10 the other direction. The property is very well built and solid, has ample furniture, towels, washing supplies and equipment. The house is well provided with cooking utensils, delf and crockery. The manager is a lovely Spanish lady who does not speak much English, but is very relaxed and patient and willing to let tourists muddle through with google translate. The house has good wifi, which is available right out to the pool, for teenagers and adults. There is a washing machine, dryer, and ample pool side seating and equipment. The terraces are also well equipped with glass topped tables (easy to clean), ample chairs, and are nicely shaded from direct sun with a natural fibre awning. I could not recommend the house more highly.

The villa and gardens are beautiful even better than the pictures. We had a fantastic time , my son loved the pool. The location is just 20 mins from the airport and the main motorways so all the coastal towns are in easy reach but you still feel secluded. Isabel was fantastic so kind and helped us out with any queries , also gave us great instructions on meeting her in the area to then go to the villa following her which was great so we didn't end up lost after a nighttime flight (especially as we had small children with us). Would recommend this villa to anyone who wants a relaxed setting but not to far a drive to the coast or Malaga city.

An excellent family run property with all facilities needed for a relaxing 2 week break. Stunning views through the valley and all the way down to the coast.

Lovely villa, great location. The location is More built up than we usually go for but still an enjoyable stay. We had a few problems at the start of the stay but the owner sorted them for us

Great location with lovely views and pool, perfect for relaxation. Everything was clean and all appliances working. We travelled with 2 children and they loved it. They way uphill is an adventure though, espacially with a big car ;) . The owner switched recently and plans to upgrade the finca further. We would be happy to come back any time.

Super nice house. Magic views from the terrass.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and the outdoor area is great, we loved the outdoor kitchen.The house was very clean, had a lot of space and a very well equipped kitchen. Amazing view from the terrace with lot of places to sit and enjoy your drink. The children (and adults) loved the pool. You will have a great vacation in this house.

Andalusia is a lovely sunny area. We have visited the area 10-12 times and we have never experienced bad weather. There are many small local towns and at first glance, they may look a bit dull and closed. But if you take the time to explore the small streets, you will often find small good restaurants that serve their own interpretations of tapas. In general, it is cheap to eat at a restaurant and it is also cheap to shop in the supermarket. So all in all, a lovely area if you, as a northern European (Scandinavian), dream of sun, warmth, relaxation and a price level that is well below what we are used to paying for things. As an excursion, we can also recommend a day trip to the Sierra Nevada and Granada.

This is one of the few places where the photos actually reflect reality. The place is super cosy and with lovely views of the sea and mountains. We had an absolutely wonderful stay in La Reserva with our 2-year old (the owners kindly provided a cot, high chair, etc.) Highly recommendable!

Lovely place with amazing view. Quiet and nice area. House was equipped very well, and we had a fantastic holiday there.

The house is fabulous with a great view of the sea. Big rooms and bathrooms, very tidy and kitchen has everything that you need. Can recommend this house to everyone!

Great place ! Incredible rental, in Line with the ad. Would recommend, and come back with pleasure.

This place is beautiful. A stunning panorama of a view. This area of Spain is the very definition of mañana lifestyle. Swim, relax, read a book, cold beer, cheap friendly bars. Perfect.

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you Mateo and Isabella xx

Perfect. Everything was as expected and better. The owner is 100% available for everything. we had one single issue, we've called the owner and in less than 15 minutes, it was solved. The house is very clean and beautifully renovated and the kitchen is very well equiped. The pool is big and cleaned on a regular basis. we were welcomed at the house with a nice baskets of fruit and drinks... Nothing to say execpt that it was perfect.

Excellent!!!!

Very nice rural house with private pool to relax and disconnect from the world :-)

The house was clean and nice. It has all the facilities one needs, is placed in a quiet area, about 25 minutes drive from Malaga and 15 minutes from the airport. We really enjoyed the pool and the barbecue, the owner is very very nice and helpful.

This accommodation offers a little luxury at a very affordable price. The outdoor area is superb; it's like being in the middle of an olive grove with a 360 mountain view. The pool is lovely - no chlorine. The location is fantastic for visiting the nearby white villages of Pampaneira, Bubión (there are several others too) and the small town of Lanjarón which is great for grocery shopping - there's a small indoor market there too.

Una finca estupenda, ha sido una semana maravillosa, con todas las comodidas , en la que hemos disfrutados niños y adultos. Muchisimas gracias por vuestra amabilidad, atencion y servicios tan rapidos, con total disponibilidad y en comunicacio continua para nuestras preguntas

This was our second visit to Sebastian’s beautiful house and we loved it as much as the first. Don’t hesitate and book this delightful slice of heaven.

Beautiful experience!!!❤️ Fantastic holiday!! Very private,amazing view,good access and very friendly owner!

Our family stayed in June 2021. An absolute gem in a very nice quite area. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, the ambiance is very relaxing and peaceful. Loved the around area with orange, lemon, and lime trees, makes the place even more unique. Our daughter loved the pool which was big with clear water. Highly suggest for families with kids. Loved the around area, town of Alora. Malaga is about 40 min drive.

The location is absolutely stunning up in the mountains of Antequera. Met Noelia, our host at a charming local minimarket shop (which literally had everything we needed except meat for the bbq, but supermarket 8km up the road so no problems) The villa was perfect for our needs, and the host Noelia was always ready incase we needed anything. Overall, we highly recommend this location for its peaceful location and well kept outdoor area, and the pool.....just perfect!!!

Seville is very nice city with many opportunities to feel culture of Andalusia. We liked very much also gastronomy of this region in many restaurants and pubs. The house was very nice with big swimming pool in the large garden. The owner of the facility was very nice and helpful to solve any problem what arised. Great we were very satisfied.

Really cozy and usable older house. all in all very satisfactory, however, missed a dishwasher in the kitchen on the ground floor. really nice pool and nice with space on the terrace and good barbecue. the landlord was really nice and very helpful.

Perfect for our 3 families with kids. Bbq area was amazing, great pool, great location and very clean. We hope to come back some day

Wonderful spacious villa in tranquil idyllic setting . Fantastic salt water pool. Attention to detail in the house and grounds. We loved every minute of our relaxing break. Your hospitality and kindness made it very special for us.

Very nice house with a beautiful view. The house owners Javier and his wife Rosario are incredibly helpful and make sure that the guests feels comfortable in the house. Not far to the beach. The road to the house is a bit tricky, good drive experience are recommended.

Villa was beautiful & rustic with everything we needed. Owners were so helpful and friendly. Shame we didn’t notice the local little bar and park right by us until the last night. Will definitely go back there

We have rented the place with a group of friends. Place is spacious with amazing views. We really enjoyed pool area, pool is massive and deep which was a bonus. Rooms were good size and had enough space for everyone (14 people). Took a while to figure out how to kick start the fridges, although they were on they wouldn't cool, had to call and ask what's the trick. Bbq area was really good, we cooked bbq's couple of times a day. Because the house is rural there is not bins near the property, so it has to be taken back to the town which is about 10 mins drive, but for extra cost owner accommodated it. Really enjoyed our stay, will be coming back.

This was just what I needed, Thank you for having us again

If you want to be close to everything, this is maybe not the place for you. The house is wonderfully private, great views around the hills and down to Malaga, and very quiet. There is plenty of space inside and equipped with most things you might need. Communication with the host and checkin / out was seamless, with no problems while we were there. If you want a really chilled time away, not being bothered by the world, then this is a great location.

Really nice place for private relaxation.

Beautiful house and amazing views!

Great location with spectacular views, very quiet and private terrace with pool.

Just loved this place, hills to hike and trail run, perfect accommodation, beautiful surroundings and pool. Thank you so much, what an amazing place you have.

The house was fine - but the garden amazing. Lots of space, a mini farm with vegetables and animals (chickens, bird cage, pigs, a sheep, some cats and a dog). Communication was a bit bumpy, the host only speaks French (which caught us off guard in the south of Spain :) )

We have spent perfect vacation in this villa. Everything were perfect above our expectations. Lorena was very kind and very helpful. I can just recommend this accommodation. I will come again for sure.

The place was really clean and fantastic. Up in the mountain away from city noise is a bliss. The host Ana was fantastic she made us feel welcome from the moment we met. I highly recomend this property.

Beautiful place and setting excellent. Very private.

Amazing place to rest peacfully. The house contains everything you need, the pool is big and the waterfall super Nice. The garden is really amazing and well mainted. Long story short : very Nice place with super nice owners.

We really enjoyed the nature around, beautiful views and simple design of the villa. However I was suprised that we could not separate plastic waste, organic, glass etc. That I considered not kind for nature. Road to villa is really surprice for less experienced driver :-)

Excellent place and as clean as shown on the pictures. Quiet place and relaxing. Very friendtly hosts and fast answer from Ruralidays.com. Beautifull view over the mountains. Fully equipt kitchen was a greate plus.

Great place to stay, a lot of facilities. Outside kitchen, nice pool which is perfect for kids, jacuzzi with fantastic view and very friendly and helpful owner.

We spent a week in Andalusia, ride motocycles. Perfect place because of its location. There are lots of beautiful scenic driving routes around. The house is situated on a hill with a wonderful view of the nearby mountains. Peace and quiet, all the attractions in the village, including the swimming pool.

Lovely getaway for the weekend with my partner. Perfect settings, which made it very peaceful and relaxing. The owner Sebastian is a lovely host. Very hard working country man who would bring fresh orange juice to us in the mornings! Best orange juice I’ve ever tasted. Can’t wait to arrange another stay.

Really enjoyed the villa, beautiful and spacious, perfect for relaxing. We took a couple of Yorkshire Terriers and they had a blast!

Nice

This is a truly special property. From the beautiful sweeping driveway, to the spectacular views across lowlands and Malaga's various mountain ranges, and the fully equipped house with many places to relax inside and outside. The pictures cannot do justice to this wonderful place; I promise you will fall in love with it as I did. I spent 2 full weeks here; it was not enough.

We wanted to get away for couple of days to a place of tranquillity and this was just a perfect spot. Everything was perfect, the house is cosy yet spacious, it is well equipped and the pool is positioned so well, right in front of the house. We travelled with two children, who thoroughly enjoyed the pool and we all slept so well in really comfortable beds. The place is very quiet, just what we wanted and the views are picturesque. We used a lot of google translate, as we do not speak Spanish but that did not matter, we were able to communicate fairly comfortably and it made our stay more authentic. I could not recommend this place enough, you want an escape then this is a perfect place!

Fabulous location

The house is well equipped all bedrooms have ensuite also a games room perfect for kids outdoor space is good with pool not as big ax we thought b ok, beach is within walking distance and nice area for hiking too, supermarket 5 minutes away by car we had a very enjoyable weekend

What an incredible place! Spectacular, stunning panoramic views greeted us together with a wonderful, warm welcome from Juan, the charming host, and his father. We immediately felt relaxed and at home. The villa was breathtaking, exceptionally clean, well kept and decorated with great taste. The pool and enormous hot-tub and sauna are outstanding and make one feel very luxurious. The location is ideal, if you want to get away from everything and stay in authentic Andalusia. Truly an oasis of peace and tranquility. An unforgettable experience we would highly recommend.

Beautiful house beautiful views, Lorena was lovely , highly recommend

Isolated, but really chilling place

The house was great. A wonderful view and a great pool. A tip is to bring your own chromecast so you can watch TV on rainy evenings. And yeah, the roads up to the house is challenging, but you will get used to it.

Perfect relaxing weekend at the villa. Jacuzzi was definitely the cherry on top of the cake. Surroundings were beautiful, and the villa itself has a lovely rustic atmosphere inside mixed with modern style.

The house was set upon spectacular views. It was breathtaking! The house itself was fully equipped. Not a detail missed.

Wonderful location and a beautiful couple who were helpful and kind. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your accommodation. We will definitely be back

Beautiful villa with a fantastic view! Thanks you so much for a very nice stay at your beautiful villa!

Great villa, great location, great host.

great villa with amazing views

The location is great; access is via a concreted road followed by a dirt track which is quite passable. The villa itself was spotlessly clean and the best-equipped we have ever stayed in. The three terraces mean there is sun or shade all day whichever your prefer. The swimming pool is bigger than any other and very well maintained. There are enough sunbeds for the maximum number of guests permitted (which is not always the case!). The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into the design of the house and the site in general. We spent a fortnight there and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hope to return...

A relaxed long weekend. Able to enjoy lounging in the garden in the peace and quiet of the countryside. Close enough to Conil if you need shops or the beach. The apartment was clean and the bed one of the most comfortable I have slept in, better than some 5 star hotels.

First of all, our stay couldn't be better with Adriano. Adriano is the owner and my family loves him, days after vacation, we are still talking about him. His hospitality made the vacation even better. The place is on the top of the hill and the roads are paved. No worries there. It is around 5 minutes drive to the top from nearest supermarket and shops. The view of the hills and the sea are breathtaking. It is very calm and the house itself is surrounded with plants and fruits. The house is outstanding for families. It is a low floor house and perfect suited for elderly people. Especially when they can sit outside between the plants, water them and walk around. There is also a tennis court if you would like to do some sports. Swimming pool is big enough and cleaned every week. The nearest beach, Torre del Mar is around 10 minutes drive. Malaga airport is a 30 minutes drive. Summarized; if you re looking for a pleasant stay without any hassle, book this vila. This place has just everything you re looking for.
