Enchanting villa with private pool and stunning views, close to beach.

This sunny, private villa is situated in a quiet, mature, residential area in the heart of Malaga province. Boasting its own unshared private, secluded pool, sun terraces and gardens, the villa is ideal for a family summer holiday and equally ideal for a romantic get-away. It has a large balcony giving panoramic views of the mountains and sea and is just a 10 minutes walk to the beach. With views of the sea from the balcony you can have a romantic meal on the terrace while the family can sit and relax around the sunny, secluded, private pool area. Being just a stroll away from the local railway station, it is ideally positioned to explore both the Costa and 'real' Spain.


Location: Located just 25 minutes from Malaga Airport, the villa is situated in a quiet, mature complex that stretches from the beach back into the hills.
The views from the villa are magnificent. In one direction you can look up into the hills and the while-walled village of Benalmadena Pueblo. In the other, the blue seas of the Mediterranean stretch out in front of you.
With just a 5 minute walk to the local railway station and a 10 minute walk down the the beach, it is difficult to imagine anywhere more ideally positioned.

The Villa: The large terraces and the private swimming pool are the first things that greet our guests. Open the front door and you look into the spacious lounge with marble floors and high ceilings complete with huge picture window and large balcony looking down to the sea. The main room is equipped with air-conditioning which also provides heat in the winter. Downstairs are the two double bedrooms each equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fan and external blinds which keep them cool for those hot summer evenings.
With gardens walled to give total privacy, visitors can relax in tranquil surroundings while access to the local tennis club with floodlit courts, large swimming pool and world class golf courses are only minutes away.

The Urbanisation: At the entrance to the urbanisation there are several beach bars and restaurants. There is a mini-market, a cafe, a bar as well as real-estate offices in front of the newly opened International English School. Just through the under pass are beaches, more bars and restaurants as well as the local hotel which has entertainment most evenings.
Further back in the complex is the local railway station servicing the coast from Malaga via the airport through to Fuengirola - it is even possible to take a series of trains all the way from London to the urbanisation - one of our clients did! Besides the station there is a small road that travels up into the hills to the village of Benalmadena Pueblo which offers stupendous views over the coastal plain as well as a small restaurant on nearly every corner.

Great Stay...
Lovely villa in a great location. Whole process was friction free and the owner made everything a pleasure from start to finish. Would definitely recommend. We stayed for week in early November so weather was just about there as well. Great base for exploring Andalusia but if that's not your thing plenty of places locally and a ton of stuff in Benalmadena. Something for everyone really.

A lovely comfortable stay, the views are gorgeous!
A lovely stay at this very comfortable clean villa. Having the two spaces to relax outdoors was fabulous, with incredible views from the terrace on one side complete with movie-worthy sunrises, and the pool and loungers on the other terrace where we could move to as the sun moved round. To have the lovely hillside location, and also be within walking distance of the train station, the beach, and a range of restaurants, was ideal for us. Clive was a very helpful indeed, with prompt responses to all our enquiries ahead of arrival, and the generous offer to let us check out late in the day for our evening flight since there were no new guests arriving for a few days. This was at no extra cost and was a life saver with two teenagers in tow, and particularly so given the day was soggy (thankfully we just missed the storms that caused some havoc a day later). A holiday to remember with a successful dolphin spotting boat trip, some beach and sea swimming action, lots of delicious local food, and the incredible views at the top of the Teleferico cable car. :)

The villa with a view
Wow what an amazing villa as soon as we walked in we knew we had picked the perfect place. It was very clean but so homely and every room smelt like a spa. The most fantastic views from the balcony leading off the lounge. and a large patio with the private pool. The villa had every amenity great to have a washing machine so you don’t need to bring home dirty laundry. Clive was very helpful and instructions very clear on how to use everything. He answered any queries we had and left us with a food welcome pack which was very generous. We had a great time we did a mixture of sightseeing, beach and laying beside the pool. We did not hire a car we used Uber to get around very easy to use. We can recommend the lime and lemon restaurant fantastic tapas went twice it was good. I will miss waking up to that wonderful view. Will definitely be booking again in the future. If you’re thinking of booking this villa you won’t be disappointed.

Everything you can ask for in a vills
We were so happy we found this little gem. Clive the host was so kind and sent us all the information we required before arriving, we decided to get the train from airport and his directions were great and easy to follow. On arrival he had left us a welcome pack which was very generous and a god send - water, 4 beers, cava, bread, milk, ham, cheese, butter. We certainly made the most of these as I would say if you are hiring a car this is the perfect location however as we only stayed 4 nights we just wanted to relax, which the villa was perfect for however is up a hill so if you are not very mobile this may be an issue. We did walk up it a few times in day and it made me realise how unfit I am, however of an evening we asked the local restraurants to call us a taxi and it was the best 6 Euros we would spend after a large meal. The villa itself was very clean and had everything you would expect, we were very lucky with weather and so in the mornings we would sit with a cuppa on the balcony enjoying the sunshine then we would venture out for breakfast returning to enjoy the pool for the rest of the day again in the sunshine before going out in evening. Another plus is you are not overlooked so it was really nice just to relax by own pool without feeling judged for being a menopausal over weight woman in a hotel resort :) Overall I would recommend this to anyone, we would definitely return and maybe get out and about a little more as 4 days just wasn't enough Thanks Clive

Total Relaxation
We booked this villa based on location and the tranquility of the area and what other guests had said. The accommodation is well laid out with front and back terraces and the addition of a private pool was great. Kitchen well equipped and the welcome pack for us on arrival was very much appreciated. We didn’t hire a car so all our getting about was done by foot or train. This is about 5 mins walk from the property and they run in both directions every 20 mins. While we were there the ticket machine wasn’t working but we boarded the train anyway and paid at the ticket office when we got off. No problem. The local mini market is 2 mins from the Benalma Hotel and be warned it is a very very steep hill on the way back. Clive the owner is very approachable and answered our questions quickly. The TV has every channel you could want. Awesome!

Holiday in the sun
Nice villa, location was good for us as we didn’t want to hire a car. Train station was very close to villa, we used it every day, did our shopping in los Boliches , supermarket opposite the train station, perfect. The pool was amazing, not too big, so you could get straight in,and cool down. Clive was an amazing host, let us know about the water being turned off, even though he was on holiday himself. Only thing missing were oven gloves, I do like to cook, so used oven. The villa was clean, nice having the bedrooms downstairs, much cooler. If you are elderly or have trouble walking, this villa isn’t really suitable, too many steps to villa, we found that bit difficult with cases, and marble steps down to bedrooms wouldn’t be good either. But if you are fit and able this villa is great, with the trains so close, not noisy though, you hardly notice them. We really enjoyed our stay.

Super villa in a lovely quiet location
Just spent a week at this lovely villa. Agree with the other reviews, very private, super views, all usual amenities, comfortable beds and short walk down hill to the coast, a few bars and restaurants. Local supermarket is also located next to the bars, good for essentials but if you plan to cook fresh food as opposed to something out the freezer, you’ll need to travel further to one of the larger supermarkets about 3km away. We didn’t have a car but would do next time as we’d love and see more of the area but saying that the train station is near by as mentioned in other reviews and you can get to almost anywhere. Buses also run at the bottom on the road about 10 minutes walk away.

Everything you need and more.
Great villa in a quiet location. Very private with all mod cons. Lovely pool with great views from both terraces. Modern and tastefully decorated the photographs really don’t do it justice. Comfortable, clean and secure with plenty of space to relax and unwind. It’s a bit hard to find, but once you’re there you appreciate the quietness. It’s on a one way side rd and there is no through traffic. The station is an easy 4 minute walk and we used it a couple of times for shopping trips to Malaga and Benalmadena. The close proximity of the station does mean you hear a faint rumbling of the trains, which we used as a signal to turn over while sunbathing. We hired a car and we’re glad we did, although there is a small shop at the bottom of the hill, I wouldn’t fancy getting our weeks food and booze supplies back up the hill. I suppose you could get a taxi. We got Ubers when going out for dinner, they had no problem finding us once I used the pin drop to show our location. As mentioned by the host Google maps likes to send you down the wrong Rd. The hosts communication was excellent and entertaining with great attention to detail. We had a great week late in May and even on the couple of rainy days we loved being in the Villa. If you have mobility issues I could see it being a problem, as there are stairs that lead from the main Rd to the Villa and the Villa is on two levels. We would definitely stay again.

A real gem in a lovely area
We had a lovely relaxing four days here. The house is in a beautiful location and has lovely views from both terraces, and the house itself is very comfortable. It's away from the touristy parts, but there are enough places to eat within walking distance, as well as a Mercadona. A big plus is the proximity to the train station - we usually rent a car but traveled light this time and were at the house within 30 minutes of getting through passport control. Clive is a great host and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Would thoroughly recommend and we're planning to return.

Fabulous Villa In A Stunning Location
My family of four including two children rented this villa for one week during half term. Can I firstly say how effective the communication was with Clive the owner from start to finish, it was amazing. We had no difficulty finding it and the instructions to gain access were clear, meaning we were able to enjoy the villa right away. We were so delighted with the welcome pack Clive had left us including cava, beers, milk, bread and butter, ham and cheese, I have rented many places but haven’t received so much. Thank you Clive. The villa is very clean and tidy, it is fully equipped for a self catering holiday. Wi-Fi is super fast and we got 5G on our phones. There is a large balcony on one side with stunning views to the mountains and the sea. On the other side is a nice pool, no doubt it would be very welcome in the summer, children enjoyed it, I’m not so brave alough the weather was lovely. The location is around five minutes walk to the train stop, the train runs from Malaga to Fuengirola so lots of places are accessible this way. There are a few restaurants nearby, around a five minute walk and the same distance to the beach. We used Bolt taxis to get around in the evening. This villa is in a quiet area, there seems to be a lot of holiday homes, quite up market and we did feel safe. To sum up, good clean accommodation, fully equipped kitchen, excellent views, quiet area but close to the beach and restaurants, close to the train and we would definitely use it again.

Mountain and sea views with own pool
This is a lovely property perfectly laid out to take advantage of sea and mountain views from a large balcony and outdoor eating area. There is also a very private pool area as well as a garden. The area was very peaceful during our stay (late September to early October). A particularly nice touch was finding food (ham, cheese, bread and butter) as well as drinks (cava, beer and water) in the fridge on our arrival. The train service along the coast is a few minutes walk away and very cheap. The Mercadonna supermarket is only a few minutes drive away.
