Breathtaking views, big swimming pool, Balinese bed, Jacuzzi ... a dream.

This splendid holiday villa is located on the top of a mountain, 500 metres above the sea level; this ensures you enjoy breathtaking views of the hills that surround Torrox and the Mediterranean sea. On the other side, almond-tree fields extend as far as the eye can see. The charming interior of the villa is decorated with care for details, where rustic and modern styles merge to create a relaxing atmosphere.

The villa features four bedrooms, located on the first floor and all equipped with AC and electric radiators. The master bedroom, characterised by a Romantic style, is provided with a double bed and an en-suite with bathtub. Moreover, there is a private terrace equipped with a side table, where you can enjoy the views in total privacy. Another bedroom is furnished with a double bed and a built-in wardrobe, whereas the last two bedrooms have two single beds each. The guests of this villa will also have another bathroom with bathtub and an independent toilet at their disposal. On the ground floor, you will find a living area. Some comfortable sofas are located between the fireplace and the dining table, which is big enough for all the guests to enjoy mouth-watering meals. The completely equipped independent kitchen opens onto the dining-living room through a quaint stone arch.

The outdoor area is stunning. A covered porch welcomes an outdoor dining area, and it is surrounded by a bannister that can either be left open or close: this is a safety measure so that you won't have to worry about the littlest ones accessing the pool area without your supervision. The huge terrace that welcomes the private pool is also equipped with sun loungers and parasols to sunbathe and the barbeque. The villa has also a second terrace which is a really amazing place to enjoy the warm jacuzzi, balinese bed and also the fire pit area... all with artificial green grass and surrounded of beautiful garden and beautiful views. The same space surrounds the whole villa, which allows you to enjoy the views from different points. One side of the property is also provided with an outdoor dining area.

The access to the villa, which lies 1.5 km from the road that connects Torrox to Competa, is made possible through a 1-km paved lane and 500 metres of a dirt track.

Best holiday ever
The property is stunning, set in an absolutely amazing location with epic views of the coastline. Just a short drive into the local town. We can't fault the amenities or the property. Lots of supplies already at the villa such as hand soap, washing up liquid, loo rolls etc. Great host who was very welcoming and continued contact throughout our stay, couldn't be more helpful. Very impressed by the service we received from Carlos.Thepool

A slice of heaven
I can't tell you how beautiful this house and it's outdoor spaces are. There are so many places to relax both together or privately. Carlos is such a good host, available immediately for any problems but also doesn't encroach. He is such a nice man! The house is better than in the pictures. Its so well equipped with utensils crockery herbs tea coffee, all the essentials. Air con in all rooms, good wifi and cable channels. Agree that you the climb down and up to the house is something you might only want to only do once in a day, but you can't get those views without that climb. We had the most amazing week I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Carlos and family :)

Amazing villa
We have just returned from a stunning 2 weeks relaxing in this amazing villa Los Almendrales. From the moment Carlos meets you he is beaming with a smile and the most friendly welcome, it just kick starts your holiday. It’s around a 15 minute drive up the mountain following Carlos for the first time which is a lovely touch so you feel more comfortable with the drive before he shows you around the property and makes you feel completely at home. Like previous reviews the pictures simply do not do this property justice. The views in every direction are simply breathtaking. There are so many different areas on the terrace so you can enjoy the mountains or the ocean in the distance overlooking Torrox. We stayed as a family of 4 with our 2 children aged 14 and 15. The swimming pool was a big hit and we had many hours of fun. Inside the property is set on 3 floors with all the amenities you could possibly need. A car is essential I would say for this property as you are up in the mountains. We will definitely be back in the future to enjoy another idyllic escape.

Absolutely fantastic
We couldn’t have more praise for the property, or for Carlos the host. A great welcome and tour of the property, and he was available during the week to help with restaurant bookings etc. The property is superb, well equipped and enjoys fantastic views. It is completely private with a great pool, hot tub, outdoor cooking area and multiple places to sit and enjoy the facilities and views. Be aware that it’s a little drive up from Torrox into the top of the hills but you soon get used to that. It can only be accessed by a car though, walking and public transport would not be possible but it’s worth the effort for the views and the privacy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic villa with stunning views
Very often the photographs of a property are better than the actual property, on this occasion the opposite was true. The villa was much better in real life and what was more important was the host Carlos. We were a family of 8, 2 grandparents, our 2 children and their spouses and our 2 grandchildren. The property pleased all of us. Yes, some people may find the final 500m of the road up a bit hairy, but once you have done it a couple of times it is not difficult. The drivers, our son and son in law quite enjoyed it. However, the journey is well worth it for the quality of the villa, its amenities and the stunning views from all angles. Carlos was an extremely pleasant and helpful host. On the Sunday morning my daughter dropped her wedding ring down the sink and into the waste pipe. Within 20 minutes Carlos was there with an amazing gizmo to retrieve it to everyone’s relief and joy. I am not sure all hosts would be as helpful as this. A big thank you Carlos

Hilltop paradise
The drive up the hill the first time was interesting, but Carlos the owner met us at the bottom to show us the route.The villa is lovely with amazing views. We were 4 adults with a 4 and 2 yr old and barely left the villa as it had everything we needed. Carlos the owner couldnt be more helpful, to the point that he took time out of his working day to take us into town when our son was unwell, spoke to the Doctor and took us to the pharmacy. If you are looking for a relaxing oasis from the hustle and bustle, then this is the place for you

It's like your own private resort... Loved it
Carlos and his father have created a wonderful getaway located within a short drive to Torrox. The accommodations are bright, spacious, well equipped and clean with a panoramic view overlooking the surrounding area, Torrox and the Mediterranean Sea. The property also has a pool, hot tub, table tennis and lounge chairs to relax. We were even able to pick a few ripe oranges for our breakfast right off the tree. There are avocado, almond and orange orchards nearby. Carlos responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had. Suggest getting groceries from Mercadona in Costa-Torrox (free underground parking if you spend 20 euros in groceries). The drive up to the villa would be sketchy at night but OK during the day. Be sure to visit the sights in Malaga on your way to or from the airport. Enjoyed the walk along the beach in Costa-Torrox. Best host ever...Thanks Carlos...

Mountain paradise
When you are trying to choose somewhere to stay for a holiday there is always a fear that the property will not be as good as the pictures suggest. In this case the property far exceeded our expectations - this villa is a slice of heaven atop a beautiful mountain! Carlos is an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. Communication at the time of booking, before our arrival and during our stay was immediate and so helpful. The villa is so spacious and welcoming and full of thoughtful touches. We enjoyed fresh morning juice from the orange tree and watched beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the horizon every day. Carlos thoughtfully helped us navigate the winding road up to the villa on our first day (we arrived in the dark) and although it is nerve wracking at first we soon got used to it, although we organised our time to make sure we only descended and ascended once a day. The climb is really worth it for the fantastic views and the seclusion. Carlos explained where we could buy wood and we enjoyed the fire indoors at night. The outside space is top class. We paid to use the spa and it was lovely to have a dip in the pool before using it. There is plenty of seating for dining and relaxing in all the areas. We didn’t use the fire pit but it is a lovely addition to the space. We stayed as two couples and didn’t want to leave! Overall we would thoroughly recommend the villa and would love to return if we can manage to reserve another time.

Stunning way to take in the Mediterranean
The views, presence of Carlos and property made this place a perfect spot for us to enjoy Southern Spain. We had a hard time leaving the stunning views but traveled to Cordoba, Frigiliana, Sevilla, Granada, Nerja, Malaga, Ronda and of course Torrox. I would come back in a hear beat! The only thing you need to know is you want to drive up to the house only once each day, so make sure to get groceries before you head up the first time and plan your day accordingly.

It happens rarely that you have a possibility to stay in place where everything is perfect. And this was the case. Everything what as it is described on the web, and even better in reality.

Perfect villa, exceeded our expectation.
For our third visit to Andalusia (duration: 6 weeks), we can say that the villa was fantastic and met all our expectations and more. The description of the property could not be more precise and no photograph can capture the essence of this beautiful villa and its surroundings. This place is amazing. We found it on the top of a hill around Torrox in a quiet area surrounded by almond and olive trees where you can hear the birds and feel the sun warming your skin. It is a small corner of paradise where we found absolutely everything we needed to relax. The location is located 15 min drive from Torrox Costa where there are supermarkets, beach, restaurants, it is located just 10 min drive from Torrox Pueblo. The white village of Frigliana is about 20 minutes away by car and is a must. A BP garage is located at the exit of Torrox on the highway so very convenient for filling up with gasoline and buying various products. We enjoyed all the terraces and all the equipment of the house which is very complete. We were so good that we had difficulty leaving the villa to explore but we managed to visit the surrounding villages, Nerja, Granada and Malaga. Just before we arrived, Carlos acquired a Magbox combined with Netflix. This allowed us to have an unlimited choice of films and series during the less sunny days.For the last week of our stay we have seen the implementation in Spain of measures relating to the spread of Covid (19). In this rather stressful period Carlos and his family have been of great help. We will definitely return to this villa next year. The villa is simply perfect. Thanks to Carlos and his family who were extraordinary hosts for this trip to Andalusia. Daniel S.

We had a fantastic stay in this well equipped villa, it easily accommodated two families and we had ample space. Carlos gave us a very warm welcome explaining in english how everything worked.

Highly recommend this villa. We were two families, kids aged between 11-17, and loved the amount of outdoor space that was available. The views from the villa are fantastic and it is so relaxing. At night you could see the stars as there was little light pollution. The best thing about booking this place was how easy it was to speak to Carlos - he answered all my questions promptly before and during our stay. Although the drive up initially was a bit of an eye opener, we did get used to it. Wi-fi was excellent. Nothing to fault - we loved it.
