Villa with private pool and gardens
La Casa Del Olivar is a one-storey house located on a rustic estate of 4500 m of olive trees with a plot of 1000 m. inside where a cozy house of 110 m is located. It is distributed in 3 bedrooms (2 with double beds and one with a children's composition of 2 beds) 2 bathrooms (one with bathtub and one with shower) kitchen (oven, vitro, washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, etc, crockery, cutlery, utensils, small appliances), dining room with fireplace and LED TV with satellite (satellite TV connected to the Astra satellite, check according to your country of origin that channels broadcast this satellite open) and covered porch with table, chairs and set of outdoor sofas. The house is fully heated with cold / heat in each of its rooms. The house complements a garage for two vehicles, a warehouse and a barbecue. If your idea is to travel with children we have a beautiful garden area with a large sandpit, swings, slide and some toys. The garden area (practically the entire plot) has a well-kept lawn that borders the 9x5 pool. Towards this area the covered porch of the house is oriented and the barbecue is located (it has a sink, refrigerator, music, gas iron etc). Inside the garden there are large bearing trees, centenary olive trees and varied garden plants. The pool has purification equipment and lights, the garden has automatic irrigation (these extremes do not require any maintenance in a normal occupation for 1 week which means great privacy for guests). The whole plot has a wide exterior lighting that makes the nights outside with the weather of this part of Spain, fabulous for meals outside, bathrooms, etc. The house is stocked with bed linen and towels. As well as garden furniture (tables, chairs, hammocks, etc.)
The access to the house is completely paved, having only to deviate from the regional road 100 m. The farm is located right on the border between Alhaurin el Grande (6 km) and Alhaurin de la Torre (8 km) villages that have all the services, (supermarkets, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, etc).
Also we are about 20 km from Malaga and its airport and about 20/30 minutes from the main beaches of the Costa del Sol (Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, etc). So you can be in the pool or on the beach but without the stress of the coast in summer. The house is located at the foot of the Sierra de Mijas and only about 500 m from the Laurogolf golf course.
The house is totally private and very quiet.
The house is ideal for stays throughout the year because sunny days are predominant and temperatures are very pleasant in this area because it is close to the sea and protected from the winds by the nearby mountains. You can enjoy meals, readings, conversations outdoors practically all year.
The house was nice, clean. We did not have a pair of scissors, but the next day the owner brought it. And everything we asked was not a problem. He did everything to make amazing. the guests it comfortably.
House had everything we needed to relax and unwind. Lovely rural location but within easy reach of local facilities. Management were extremely helpful too. Would totally recommend this property.
Excellent, in every respect.
Secure, private accommodation. House clean and well equipped. Garden cared for and provided both sunshine and shade. Pool clean and well maintained. Air conditioning in all rooms a bonus when temperatures approached 40 degrees.
Would recommend without reservation.
the villa was absolutely perfect. Antonio was always available and was really helpful. the outdoor space is fantastic. we had a labrador with us and he loved it as much as we did ! the pool area was great - we ate outside every night in a fantastic setting and lovely temperature. We would highly recommend this villa and any others that Antonio deals with as he really takes care of his guests. We will definitely be back next year.
Fantastic holiday, Antonio met us at the local golf club on the day of arrival and led us to the villa. We had a problem with the hot water and emailed Antonio, he was on site within 15 minutes, he couldn't fix the problem, so he came back later with a plumber to sort out the problem. The rest of the holiday was a dream. The villa is a little way up in the mountains, but close enough to everything you need as long as you have a car. Torremolinos and Benalmadena are both 25 minutes away, as is Malaga Airport. Alhaurin de la Torre and Alhaurin el Grande are both really close (8-10 mins) and have everything that you need (Aldi, Lidl, Supersol, Mercadona).
A great break, one of the nicest villas with a fantastic pool and outdoor area, we will definitely stay again.
Thanks Antonio

Good value for money, helpful owner, however, some maintenance required
Antonio met us at the nearby Lauro golf club and showed us around the house a bit sooner than planned, as it was ready early. The property is obviously very popular, it has a pleasant feel to it with some nice nick knacks inside and outside the house, and a lovely private pool . However, we only gave it 4, not 5, out of 5, as we felt it can benefit from a little time spent fixing a few things and adding some items for the kitchen. Our main concern was our first night when we had a huge storm with heavy rain and winds, and found that, in the middle of the night, water was coming in through the roof, and actually dripping onto the bed (in fairness it was an exceptionally bad storm). It also came in through other cracks in the roof, particularly the kitchen. The next morning Antonio came round early to see if we were OK, and to see if there was any damage (other areas had suffered floods, fallen trees etc.), and we told him we simply moved bedrooms, and that everything was fine except for the rain problem, and that we were perfectly alright - the water on the floors simply evaporated the next day, but we felt Antonio was very concerned and I'm sure he'd have been happy to have done whatever he could if necessary. As he's a builder, we hope the cracks are repaired before the next storm (and/or the next occupier?). Antonio pointed out that the pool filter pump had stopped working, but we told Antonio we didn't mind, as the water was clean and we didn't mind helping to skim off anything that had fallen in, i.e leaves etc. which were minimal. We hope Antonio would have arranged to have this fixed once we had left. Generally, we felt the property could have benefited from a little TLC, for example, in the kitchen there was only one tea towel, only two refuse bags, no oven gloves, only a few washing machine and dishwasher tablets, the rubber seal on the freezer hangs off when opened, and outside the sun lounger cushions were either split or just very worn, and need replacing. We also couldn't get a wi-fi signal all the time we stayed there, which was a little disappointing. That said, we nonetheless enjoyed our stay and feel the property was good value for the amenities it offered, and it was an easy drive to Malaga and the coast. With a little TLC Antonio can offer a very nice rental property .
Buena ubicacion, pobre comunicacion con el propietario
El alojamiento es decente, razonablemente limpio. Las camas un poco pequenas. La ubicacion es muy buena aunque debido a los incendios la primera noche la tuvimos que pasar en un hotel que tuvimos que gestionar por nuestra cuenta. El propietario nos ofrecio contactar con el si no encontrabamos
alojamiento pero no nos dio ninguna solucion de entrada, salvo su pesar por lo ocurrido. La noche no nos ha sido devuelta a pesar de no haberla disfrutado (somos conscientes de que no habia ningun seguro pero el propietario tampoco se intereso por si lo teniamos o no). La comunicacion con el propietario ha sido mas bien nula, le enviamos un whatsapp preguntando sobre la fosa septica y todavia estamos esperando la respuesta. El Jueves paseando vimos una furgoneta vendiendo comida en la urbanizacion pero esto tampoco nos lo conto el propietario. Si lo hubieramos sabido habriamos comprado para ayudar a la economia local. El dia que entramos se ofrecio a traer las colchonetas para las hamacas de la piscina y nunca las trajo. En resumen, la casa esta bien, la piscina es grande y el jardin muy agradable. La plancha hace muy facil el plan de comidas.
Accommodation is decent, reasonably clean. The beds a bit small. The location is very good, although due to the fires we had to spend the first night in a hotel that we had to manage on our own. The owner offered us to contact him if we could not find accommodation but he did not give us any input solution, except his regret for what happened. The night has not been returned to us despite not having enjoyed it (we are aware that there was no insurance but the owner was not interested in whether we had it or not). The communication with the owner has been rather null, we sent him a WhatsApp asking about the septic tank and we are still waiting for the answer. On Thursday we were walking and saw a van selling food in the urbanization but the owner did not tell us about this either. If we had known, we would have bought some products to support the local economy. The day we entered he offered to bring some towels and never brought them. We missed the mats for the pool hammocks, they were really uncomfortable. Summarising, the house is fine, the pool is large and the garden is very nice. The griddle makes meal planning very easy and quick. We'll come back to Costa del Sol next summer but unfortunately not to this villa.
