Casa Anhelando Andalucia - Een 8p villa met verwarmd zwembad op een heuveltop met magnifiek uitzicht, waaronder zeezicht, nabij dorp en strand

Very well-equipped house with everything you might need. The hosts are kind and very helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Our children also loved the house and had a great time. The location and the view are absolutely stunning and create a truly special atmosphere. The pool is excellent, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stay. There are even toys for pool which our children loved. Málaga is about a 35-minute drive and Nerja is roughly the same distance. There are also closer seaside towns with a promenade where you can spend a few hours. The nearby village of Iznate is just a 5-minute drive and has a bakery and a small shop, which is very convenient. Highly recommended!

The road up to the house is a bit steep, but you quickly get used to it and after one or two drives it’s no longer a challenge.

The villa is amazing – our deepest thanks to the host Gerda! ♥️ The view is stunning, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises of my life. Everything is so thoughtfully prepared – there are even yoga mats, a juicer, candles, hammocks, and more. It truly feels like you are a welcomed guest, and we are so grateful for that. ♥️ In short: clean, beautiful, all the information is clearly provided. Highly recommended – I hope we will back!

Lovely, spacious villa, plenty of room for a family or a group of friends. Lots of room to eat outside or in. We didn't use the barbecue but it's there for the more ambitious cook. The pool is great (only reservation is that the pool pump is very noisy.) Great views across the valley to the mountains and the sea in the distance. The kitchen is well equipped and I've never seen so many glasses. It's an easy 20 minute drive to Velez Malaga for a big supermarket shop, but Iznate is charming and has a few shops for some basics. The host, Lara, was wonderful and really put herself out to help in a crisis. Her husband, Oscar, came regularly to clean the pool and was always available to help out with any issues. A really great couple.

The signage for the house is not as brilliant as details suggest. It's important that the owners realise that they already know the way whereas visitors are arriving without any prior knowledge. The orange signs are quite small and not all are in the best position. The drive up to the villa is hair-raising and very steep with hairpin bends. Not for the fainthearted and for us completely unthinkable in the dark. The water pressure is not great, and it's hard to reconcile using water sensibly vs having to run it for several minutes to get hot. I had to roll up and set aside the rug in the kitchen as we kept tripping over its curly corners. The TV channels are mostly Dutch and it would be nice to have a few more in English, although on some you can change the language or add subtitles. Jake Gyllenhal isn't a native Dutch speaker! The sun loungers are good but hard to reposition as they are all chained together with the tables. I imagine this is because of thefts in the area, but could they be released at the start of a let and reshackled at the end?
