Amazing Villa With Amazing Sea View And Private Large Heated Pool, Private Road

Fabulous villa up in the hills with amazing views. Very well equipped and as described on the website. The pool was great. Excellent information provided by the rental company and at the villa. The hills can be challenging if you’re not fit and mobile a car is recommended. Would highly recommend!

Generally an excellent location and the Villa is well appointed and well maintained, albeit a little tired in places. The ameneties were as expected and it was clear some of the issues raised by previous guests had been addressed (hob, fridge, cutlery etc). The outside area was a lovely space and well equipped with tables/chairs and sun-loungers and the barbecue was a much appreciated and well used feature. We were using the villa as a base for a cycling holiday, so the pool was a very welcome 'cool down' facility and was clean and maintained well (The pool person visited whilst we were there). The views back to town, overy the bay and the surrounding hills are stunning and nice to sit around outside and look at whilst having a post-ride drink. Some small things to be aware of though. The property has a lot of steps to get from the gate to the villa. Fine for most, but may be a challenge for some. The walk to town is relatively short in distance but is quite a 'pull' back up the hill and may also be a challenge for some people. We rented the property becasue it states 9 seperate beds which is what we needed (9 blokes - we won't share!) but on arrival it was clear there were only 8. There was a foldaway bed we found that we could use for the 9th, and a quick call to the local contact meant we had bedding for it quickly, but if the 9th bed is that foldaway, then that should be clearer. All in all, a very nice villa and I would stay there again.

We arrived at 4pm in line with check-in time, however, the cleaning team were still there. We did feel a little like we were in the way and were intruding despite the fact that we weren't early. Overall, the villa was incredible and views were absolutely stunning. Completely fit for purpose. Pool was perfect and outdoor shower was really refreshing. Aircon worked well. My daughter slept in the 1 x non-aircon room, but as she had an ice-pack with her and one of the many fans on, she was fine. Beds were really comfortable too. The only thing to mention which may need to be attended to was the leak next to or from the fridge. Walk into town could be slightly treacherous if less able-footed, however, we did find an alternative route on the last day. The location was really close to town though. A great base for exploring a little of Southern Spain. We would recommend and would definitely book again.

This villa is set on a hill overlooking La Herradura. There are fabulous views across the bay and the setting is beautiful and quiet. You can watch the sun go down behind the mountains and see the lights come on across the bay. The outside area is great. There is plenty of seating in the shade plus sun loungers and the children loved the pool - it has stepped entry and was clean and warm when we visited at the end of July. Inside the house, the living accommodation was good. There is plenty of seating and space for 10 people. The bedrooms were as described (although one upstairs bedroom did not have air conditioning and was very hot). However, the kitchen area was tired, and we found some of the crockery and equipment was dirty. The fridge leaked leaving a permanent puddle on the floor (we did report this but it wasn't fixed) and there was an ant problem despite us keeping it very clean. Although the villa is only a 15/20 minute walk from the beach/town, it is down a steep winding road which does not have pavements. In the heat, the walk back to the villa is very hard work and not suitable for young children/buggies or people who have mobility issues. The town is lovely - it has remained a very Spanish town and was busy with local holiday makers. There are plenty of places to eat, plus a couple of small supermarkets and bakery/greengrocers etc. The beach is stony but the water is really clear and there are some good spots for snorkelling.
