About this house rental
When the Andalusian sun emits its rays, you have the choice: direct sun to tan, partial shade under the olive tree or resting in the shade. The spacious terrace offers something for everyone. An olive tree in the middle gives the area a special flair. We particularly appreciate the variety in midsummer and vary according to your mood. A covered veranda completes your lounging opportunities in the outdoor area. The pool offers you enough refreshment in the heat and is only suitable for swimmers due to its water depth of 1.60 m.
The house impresses with its very well equipped kitchen and a spacious living and dining area. If you appreciate the tranquility and enjoy your meal with a glass of wine under the olive tree, you will feel the atmosphere of Andalusia more than in the hustle and bustle by the sea. You can enjoy the freshly caught fish from the coast and enjoy a holiday. A brick outdoor grill is also available.
The access to the house is only via a paved or concrete path, which is not always the case in “Campo”.
The biggest attraction of Andalusia, the Alhambra in Granada, can be reached in two hours by car. Ronda, where today's Spanish bullfighting was invented (2 hours by car), Gibraltar with its famous monkey rock and duty-free shopping (2.5 hours by car), Cordoba as the former capital of the Caliphate with La Mezquita as a former mosque and today's cathedral (2 hours by car), Seville As the capital of Andalusia with great sights (2.5 hours by car) and Marbella, the glamorous (1.5 hours by car) offer you a glimpse into the past and present of Andalsia.
In the immediate vicinity, a trip to Malaga, birthplace of Picasso with Museo Picasso and Museo Carmen Thyssen, with the old market hall, cathedral and Alcazaba and various shopping opportunities is worthwhile. You should also visit Nerja with its famous stalactite caves and the 'Balcon Europe' (30 minutes).
You can go hiking in the nearby nature reserve above Competa (15 minutes by car).

A lovely house, comfortable and very well appointed in a beautiful, tranquil location.The house is very much as shown in the photographs and the facilities are excellent. We very much enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the lovely views. Having the pool to cool down on a hot day was a real bonus. Michael the owner couldn’t have been more helpful as was Claudia the local property manager. Great restaurants in Sayalonga meant we had some delicious food and the local small shops plus the Lidl only about 8 to 9 km away meant excellent supplies were readily available. We did have a fairly powerful rental car with a high wheelbase and this was particularly useful on the steep and rugged local roads. Very much recommended.

We had a great stay at Los Olivos. The house is very comfortable, has everything you could possibly need and an excellent choice of seating areas and terraces, some with shade and some with sun and all with such beautiful views, ranging from the sea in the south to the snowy mountains in the north. The garden is mature with lovely trees, flowers and birds and the swimming pool has salt water which is such an improvement versus the usual chloride. Gitti and the owners welcomed us and made sure all was well. The road up is fully concrete and after 2 or 3 drives is quite easy. The village is not far away, it could be walked even. The beaches and restaurants of Torre and Caleta are 15 mins away. We will be back!

Villa is located high in the mountains with idyllic views of the surrounding area. We were greeted by Gitti upon arrival at the parking spot just after dark to be shown to the Villa. We spent 1 week not leaving the Villa except to visit the closest Lidl (30 Minute Drive) or to visit the town (Open from 8:30am - 2pm). It is possible to just use the town for supplies and probably as cheap as the Lidl.
We used the recommended car rental from the owner Helle Hollis and hired a Skoda Citi (1 litre, 3Cyl) With 4 people and luggage if you are not used to very steep hills it is a challenging drive. By the end of the week it was perfected, to avoid this learning curve book your car 30 days in advance for a cheap upgrade for something with 4 cylinders!
The Villa was as described with fantastic views, 3 great outdoor eating locations and a breakfast veranda for tea and toast with a view. It was very well equipped, all in all the best I've experienced.

The villa was perfect. The kitchen is the most well equiped in any villa I've ever rented. The location was so beautiful and the shade from the olive trees was perfect for my husband who does not fare so well in blazing sun ( which I love!).
The village of Sayalonga is very small but has a few very good restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere with lovely locals.
We decided not to hire a car and would walk to the village which is 20 minutes downhill then use the local taxi driver to get back, what a lovely man, we were sad to say goodbye! He would pick my husband up who is disabled and has difficulty walking, and take us home after dinner.
I would say this was one of the best, most relaxing holidays I have ever had, the villa had everything we needed, I had my adult son and 13 year old and the pool was a perfect depth for them to enjoy, it is in a stunning location and the local area is wonderful.
