Cortijo de Pipa

It suited us perfectly, family of 2 adults and 3 teens (19, 17 & 13). We were looking for a relaxing week and that is exactly what we got with views that take your breath away. Pool is lovely and 2 twin bedded rooms and double bedroom was a great layout. There's 2 lovely patio areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. Federico, the owner, was in contact before we arrived. He provided detailed instructions how to get there and where to park. He even sent on lots of recommendations for restaurants, bars and taxi service. He kept in contact during and after our stay, his attention to us was fantastic. Thanks Federico!

Nothing!

There was dishing machine also, which made holiday easier. The view from villa was so beatiful.

The villa has amazing views out across the Med and to Nerja as well as the mountains behind it and is in a really quiet relaxing spot. It is a little tricky to find it, but our host provided detailed directions with helpful pictures. They were really helpful during our stay as well and quick to respond with any questions we had. The villa has everything we needed as was very comfortable with great air con (which was definitely needed!) The kids loved the pool, which isn't huge, but definitely big enough for cooling off and the kids to have fun. One thing to note is that the deep end is quite deep. Great for cannonballing, but something to be aware of if your kids aren't strong swimmers. Nerja is only 5 minute drive away and has the nicer beaches which were easy enough to get to. We loved our stay. Sitting out on the terrace in the evening watching the sunset each evening was wonderful and the kids had a great time.

The only very minor thing is that the pool and terrace don't get the sun in the evening. This wasn't an issue really as it was so warm.

A beautiful villa set in a stunning location with a stunning sunrise everyday. Facilities are very clean with everything you need for a family holiday. This was our second visit and it did not disappoint.

The host was very helpful and kind. The pool was great and the view was stunning. Definetely recommended.

The views, the pool, and the terrace. Federico is an exceptional host, took the time to introduce himself and was quick to help with any requests - advice on restaurants, taxis, etc.

Nothing.

The views are incredible, the pool is gorgeous and Fede was the most fantastic host. We had a week in October and loved the sunrise over the sea, wandering to the beach and into Nerja. Having the split levels works well for grandparents and the villa has everything you need for a break

Honestly it was great for a simple week of sun and swimming, if anything we would remove ornaments and some furniture inside to give more space

the views were excellent and facilities were great

nothing really but if we didn’t have a car it would have been a bit of a hike up the road

The views were what made our holiday, they were spectacular, the best we've had. I spent hours watching the sunrise, the boats and people enjoying water sports on the ocean, planes flying around the valley, and hustle and bustle of the suburbs of Nerja down below at night. The outside space was lovely, we loved the plants and flowers, birds and different terraces and comfy plentiful sun loungers and chairs/tables. The kids loved the pool and the adults also did on the hotter days! The surrounding area was great, particularly Burianna beach in Nerja, Frigliana and Torrox. We also enjoyed the peace of the terraced hills that the villa was located in. The beach of Playa Playazo Rio Seco was my favourite beach within walking distance (if you don't mind the 15 minutes walk back uphill), the wifi connection was really good and Netflix on the TV went down well. Although there were ants around, as is typical in Southern Europe, the owners had placed various ant traps to keep them at bay inside. We found the kitchen easy to use with many handy implements, although we did have to buy a chopping board and a dish drainer for washing up would be handy. The fridge freezer was large and dishwasher great - thanks providing dishwasher tablets! The beds were comfortable and the shutters on the bedroom windows kept out the sunlight very well. The air con worked very well in the bedrooms. Federico kept in regular contact and provided very good directions and check in instructions.

Some areas could do with a touch up of paint and some fixtures and fittings need repair or replacing (i.e. coffee table in the living room). The roads up to the villa were steep in places but both me and my partner took turns in driving and found them fine and they would not put us off returning. If you are looking for a holiday with many bars/restaurants in easy walking distance, this villa would not be suitable but as we had a car we were not affected.
