About this cottage rental
Villa Carlitos offers traditional country villa facilities near the stunning hilltop village of Comares on the edge of the Montes de Malaga Natural Park - one hour from Malaga. Bob and Alba Lucia have spent 4 years renovating their property in the small hamlet of Los Ventorros. From the beginning the idea was to use as many recycled or second hand materials as possible. All the doors, for example, have come from 'junk yards' (although you wouldn’t believe it when you see the renovated results) and practically all the furniture is second hand and restored. The result is that everything contributes to the cosy, 'rustic' style that we wanted to create. We enjoy the cosiness of evenings in front of the fire and the refreshingly cool areas of the shady patios under the vines in the summer. Villa Carlitos is for people who appreciate the countryside and value the old instead of the new. If you are amongst these and you want to see a part of 'real' Spain, you will probably enjoy Villa Carlitos as much as we do. The property is spacious and constructed on 3 levels with large outside terraces offering both sunny and shaded aspects. The views across open countryside from both the front and rear terraces are beautiful. Most attractive are the traditional Andalucian features, including beams, heavy wooden doors and window shutters. The log fireplace is a cosy feature where we enjoy dinners with friends around the large dining room table and the small but nice pool is perfect in summer when we can enjoy late dinners on the back patio, with the silhouettes of the mountains as a backdrop and the chirping of the cicardas to keep us company.
Furnished in rustic style with modern comforts, the villa will appeal to anyone wishing to enjoy a traditional Spanish house in a convenient village countryside location.
The welcoming bar/restaurant and village shop is just a few metres walk and there is ample free parking right outside the villa. Comares hilltop village, with views to the Mediterranean coast in the distance, has attractive narrow streets and good facilities ..

Lovely week in a traditional Spanish villa. Lots of space and shade, great pool and stunning views all round. 2 good restaurants are very close by and Comares is 5 minutes by car. The hosts were very helpful and kindly left some welcome treats for our arrival. Thanks for a peaceful, sunny, restful holiday.

This villa is beautiful, the location is stunning which means the views from the terraces are lovely, you could just look out at them all day! It is an exaggeration to say there's internet! It's very poor and only in certain parts of the villa, and you have to get the password from the restaurant next door( which is no hardship, that place is great) however the charms of the villa outweigh the lack of Wi-Fi. I would recommend going to the restaurant next door, great food, service and atmosphere! The kitchen and dining room are well equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. The pool is better than it looks on the photos, small but with a deep end, and we spent plenty of time enjoying it. Alba and Bob are perfect hosts, very accommodating and helpful, stick to Albas tips for helping keep the house cool, they work! I would certainly recommend this villa, and would revisit again.

This place is a true home from home. 7 of us stayed for a week in June 2018, ages ranging from pre teens to late teens over 60 and everyone had an amazing time. The 50 minute drive from the airport is spectacular and the views from the house are also stunning. Comares is only about a 5 minute drive and is well worth the visit and the restaurant/bar el Molino which is next door, is like an extension to the villa. The house itself is beautiful, the kids loved exploring but its the outside living area which really makes this place. There are plenty of places to go and get some peace and quiet. The pool was a welcome relief from the heat and there is also a table tennis room which was lovely and cool. The hosts Alba and Bob are very welcoming and always a phone call away if you have any questions. We will be returning, hopefully sooner rather than later.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Carlito in January. Spacious house with a swimming pool which would be lovely in summer & autumn.
Beautifully located and within easy reach of delightful walks and stunning views.
Comares is a great village full of character and history. Alba & Bob are very easy going and most welcoming . You can therefore guarantee a relaxing stay.
