Beautiful Rustic Villa with Private Pool overlooking Spectacular Mountain Views
Beautiful 3 bedroom villa in Cartama which can also be rented as a 2 bedroom with a private pool overlooking truly spectacular mountain views. The Villa is accessible in a standard car by a steep, but well maintained concrete road just 2km from the nearest town, a very pleasant scenic walk. You can see the most incredible sunsets as you sit by the pool or from the shady verandas perfect for alfresco dining. The Villa is surrounded by well tended gardens with many shady areas to enjoy the tranquillity of mountain life. The Google Earth coordinates are 36Âș 42' 11.69" N 4Âș 37' 34.82" W. Elevation 277m. El Chorro is only 30 mins drive away and the whole area is perfect for cycling, fishing, golf, horse riding, mountain biking, swimming and walking. Cartama has many shops and super markets, restaurants and many different fiestas at different times of the year that are truly spectacular. The Villa is fully equipped for your stay but if you want a good night out, the coast is only 20 minutes drive/train with all its tourists attractions.
This Villa is very old, it is in the middle of nowhere and itâs up a very very steep hill, the views are beautiful but itâs not close to anything at all. The pool was very cold which was a shame because the weather was 30 to 32 and the pool was still very cold to get into. The sunbeds unfortunately are broken quite a lot of them we managed to find two that werenât. It really couldâve done with a good clean inside and outside before we arrived I felt there was lots of ants everywhere and lots of bugs, especially as you went out the back door on the ceiling there was loads of like snail things stuck to the roof. We also did request that we were left alone and nobody to disturb us. The pool man came in which was fine. But the Gardner we were told was going to come in on three separate occasions and two of them he didnât turn up which made us feel like we couldnât really wander around in our swimwear. We needed to cover up which werenât very happy about. Would I stay here again? No it was too old for me. It needs doing up. There was too much furniture inside too many personal things I wouldnât of took children there because the stairs that went up to the third bedroom there was no balustrade and it wouldâve been dangerous for children to go up and down there. You have to really be aware that we had two showers as there was only two of us and the hot water went because you are in the Campo. There was no Aircon either which I didnât notice when I booked it
Getting to the place is a little challenging as there is room for one car and it's a two-way street. the house was great, so were the views but communication wasn't all that great. We had problems from day one; we ended up having to postpone appointments to have someone come and rectify the issues. It's a good thing I insisted in having the maintenance guy's # even after I was told by the owner's brother that it wasn't necessary... We ended up not being able to make coffee the first day as the gas tank was emptied, the TV wasn't working and had to be completely rebooted, electricity went out at 22h one night and had I not called the maintenance guy we still wouldn't have electricity... it happened twice where we had to find a grid in the street to turn the lights back on... Only people who live remotely know this! I was traveling with my 75 and 81 year old parents who kind of wanted a little comfort. And had I been the owner, seeing all the problems encountered, 1. I would have offered a little something in compensation but 2. mostly!!! I would check in on my guests? and see how they are? none of the above! and for that and other comments that I will keep to myself I give it a 2 stars! For Antonio the maintenance guy, who sent i one of his guys at 6h30 one day I give him a 10 star! as well as the view!
Loved this house and setting! Quite a trek to get there but worth it once you see the views. Only negatives were that it was COLD and windy in Feb and the heating is really dependent on one wood stove in the LR. Also electric heaters in bedrooms to take chill off in pm and am. Landlady was very responsive and helped a lot with suggestions for local restaurants and sights. Lots of dogs barking (a la France!) otherwise very quiet and peaceful.
The property has lovely views of the mountains and has a very good wood burning stove which we made good use of as we were there in February. Thank you Paquita for being generous with the logs. We drove towards Ronda to get amazing walks in the national park. Also highly recommend Santiagoâs Kitchen which does excellent food.
This is our first visit to Spain, we found this property not sure of location. But wow the view and property were amazing, it was so relaxing, peaceful but you aren't far from any shops or areas to visit. We will definitely look at coming back. 10/10
The villa is in a stunning location with amazing views. Easy drives to local towns like Mijas and into Malaga. The villa has loads of outdoor seating so you always have somewhere to sit in the sun which was lovely!
We had a great stay in the mountains. Fabulous position and views from the pool area, and so many places to take in the environment around the property. Quite a drive up the hill to get there, but totally worth it! We watched the beautiful sunset every night.
Absolutely fantastic! Piquita was a superb host, really felt able to contact her if required (but everything was fab so not needed!) Sam who met us and sorted the keys etc was lovely and helpful too. The villa itself has everything you require and is beautiful but the thing that sets this property above and beyond is the pool and the stunning view! Could spend all day and all evening just enjoying it. No need to leave. So stock up the fridge and have some time away from the usual grind. Highly recommend!
Awesome property with lots of inside and outside space.
Good size pool
BBQ area
Large terraced area with several sun loungers to relax and take in the sun.
Lots of shaded areas if needed when the temperatures soar.
Incredible views and great sunsets.
We couldnât fault it and the owners were amazing ⊠Nothing too much trouble if you needed anything at all.
This villa is so traditional and charming: the pool area is so fantastic for families and the view is breathtaking. The owners were so attentive and helpful for anything we needed. Highly recommend.
Overall all went well. It was a bit of shock to drive to the house at the first time with a van because the house was located up on the hill.
Also we had some problems with a smaller toilet and shower. Wc got stucked very easily and we avoided to use it. Also there was no hot water from smaler shover. Oven was also a bit of tricky. When we used owen and stow, we were not albe to use those at the same time. Othervise house was very nice and it was very nice to have a private pool. Overall I could use this house againđ
Had 14 fantastic days in the Villa which is lovely and clean. The kids loved the pool one of the best Iv seen. Good communication from Samir and Paquita. The views from the Villa are spectacular and I could just sit and watch the world go by. Nice to watch the swallows fly over the pool, birds of prey and we were lucky to have a Iberian ibex appear on the property and watch it wandering about. The Villa is well equipped and has plenty of outside space/seating. Would certainly stay here again. Highly recommend
Property was very nice. The outside and pool were the best. Must be half a dozen set of furniture for chasing or avoiding the sun. Very quiet set away from Cartama. Paquit and Sam were very helpful and friendly. We also had fun talking to the pool man neither of us having many words in common. He was fun too. The inside of the house was well appointed with all the amenities you would expect. Highly recomended
We were very sad to leave the villa after 7 wonderful days. The villa has all you need for a very comfortable stay, with a super pool to cool down in and breathtaking views. We wanted a relaxing and peaceful holiday and we certainly got it.
We were easily able to communicate with Paquita and when we had a small issue with the hot water it was dealt with swiftly.
I cannot make any negative comments as there simply werenât any negatives.
We would highly recommend booking this villa if you are looking to completely wind down surrounded by the mountains and blue skies.
Stunning property. Gorgeous, peaceful and perfect. The pool was amazing and the view incredible. We loved being able to go for lovely hikes right from our house. I can't wait to be back!!
We chose the villa because of its location in relation to a wedding we were attending in Cartama. We rented for 8 nights to make it into a family holiday and had a fantastic time.
The location is spectacular - nearly at the top of the hill with far reaching views across the valley, and looking down on the castle.
The villa had everything youâd expect, including a gas barbecue and the pool was clean.
You really need a car or at least to use taxis to get your shopping up the hill, but if you enjoy hiking there are great walks right from the villa.
Highly recommended.

We stayed for a week with 5 adults. Plenty of room for all of us. Lovely pool and stunning sunsets!! Very quiet and chilled area. Had a walk down to the castle ruins and church which was lovely.
Villa is quite old in style which we didn't mind with a very Spanish type kitchen. Cooker took a little getting used to but mastered it after a few days.
Emilia and her husband were so helpful and so kind. We had a water issue one day and Emilia sorted it our straight away and couldn't have been more helpful.
Few things could do with some updating like the sunloungers but all in all it was a comfy villa with all that we needed.
Weâre just back from a week stay and weâve had such a lovely relaxing break. The villa is quite far up a hill and the views from it are spectacular. We saw plenty of wildlife including eagles, owls, swallows dipping into the pool. The villa itself was rustic and could possibly do with a bit of upgrading in the kitchen but it was clean and had everything we needed. Overall we absolutely loved our stay. Emelia was very welcoming and was just at the end of the phone if we needed anything.
The house is quite high up a mountain over a small town with amazing views of Malaga and further North, the terasse is just fantastic when the sun is out, and the location is convenient for trips inland, eg. Alhambra, Zipline, Ronda etc, but still within 20 mins of the beach and downtown Malaga. Hosts were very kind and efficient in every interaction. House is rustic and charming, and it has everything you need, our only real issue was temperature. It was Feb. and 5-16C the first day, and even with the extra radiators and firewood supplied by our hosts it might have been difficult to stay warm, if the weather had not improved. However, this coolness is probably a plus in the warm season
My partner and I have just returned from a week in Cartama, where we stayed in this beautiful villa. When we arrived, we met Emilia and her husband at the local Lidl and they escorted us up to the villa. They were incredibly welcoming and took the time to show us around and to answer any of our questions. They had very kindly picked us up some groceries, and a much appreciated bottle of wine, as we had arrived on a Sunday afternoon and the Lidl wasnât open. We were able to enjoy a relaxing first evening, watching the sun set over the mountains. The views really are incredible, even more stunning than shown in the photos.
The villa was very clean and spacious. It had everything we needed. Numerous seating/eating areas outside, barbecue, swimming pool, a handy cupboard filled with extra beach towels, family games, binoculars, spare sun cream etc. and a well equipped kitchen.
This villa was perfect for us as we were able to relax reading by the pool, escaping from the world, but were also able to travel to Malaga and various other beaches in less than 30 mins. We had a lovely day out in Ronda, which was an hour drive away through very beautiful scenery. Marbella was also worth a day trip to enjoy the stunning beaches and numerous restaurants and bars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa, would highly recommend the hosts, and will definitely return again.
Dieses wunderschöne Haus wird den Bilder nicht gerecht!
Mit 5 Freunden hatten wir das Haus Ende Juli fĂŒr eine Woche gemietet. Vom Flughafen in Malaga haben wir ca. 20 Minuten mit dem Taxi zu dem Lidl gebraucht, wo wir unsere Vermieter trafen. Die beiden, ein Ă€lteres Ehepaar, sind zwei wunderbare liebevolle Menschen. Wir haben uns sofort willkommen gefĂŒhlt. Von dem Lidl aus ging es hoch hinaus auf den Berg, auf welchem das Landhaus steht. Das Haus und der Pool waren in einem einwandfreien Zustand und alles war sehr hygienisch sauber. Genauso der Pool. Dieser war sehr klar und zweimal die Woche kam ein Mann, der sich um den Pool gekĂŒmmert hat (PH-Wert, etc.).
DIE AUSSICHT DARF MAN SICH ABSOLUT NICHT ENTGEHEN LASSEN! Man hat einen kompletten Blick auf Cartama und viele kleine NachbarstÀdte. das Highlight war der Sonnenuntergang. Den konnte man direkt von der Terrasse aus beobachten. Einfach wunderschön.
Wer gerne was unternehmen möchte kann sich auf Wanderung begeben. Etwas weiter den Berg rauf, gibt es kleine Wanderwege, durch welche man noch weiter nach oben gelangt und einen noch atemberaubenderen Ausblick ergattern kann. Wir waren mit Taxi einen Tag am Strand aber wir hÀtten die ganze Woche auch einfach in dem Haus verbringen können. Das war ein sehr schöner Urlaub mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen.
The amazing heavenly retreat is a perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life, The house on the beautiful hills of Cartama is away from the hustle of the tourist centers, but close enough to travel to if so desired. Having a car is ideal, however we used Uber and local taxi service which was easy enough. Donât get me started on the views and the amazing pool, my kids stayed in the pool most of our time there! The view are the most relaxing and far reaching, you will be sitting by the pool mesmerising for hours đ
Thereâs everything you need in the house, BBQ was a brilliant, once we walked down to the village ( an hour walk) which was an amazing adventure for us 2 and our 7 & 8 yo! Weâre definitely going back next year đ
