About this property

ALHAURIN EL GRANDE (Malaga)Unique country house retreat, jacuzzi,sleeps 10-12

Beautiful country 'rustic' house approx. 20 minute drive from Malaga airport,and Marbella, consists of spacious lounge with fireplace, dining area and open plan kitchen, two double bedrooms and family bathroom. A separate Anexe / guest house provides the 3rd double bedroom, shower room, and new children's bedroom and shower room incl toilet makes up the 4th bedroom.
As well as the small fridge freezer in the kithcen there is also on the terrace a full American type fridge/freezer along with washing machine on the outside terrace.

The property is fully legal and registered with the Tourist Accommodation Vivienda Rural no. CTC-201625485.

A unique property for Spain in that its not the normal white painted villa but much more being as a full log cabin that is cool in the summer months and warm in the winter months.
Access to the truly stunning large covered terrace from the kitchen is the summer central living area for the whole property which includes gas barbie, outdoor kitchen, Heated Jacuzi, Pool Table, Dining and Lounge seating (sofas) areas with music system open log fire dart board, exercise bike and electric Yamaha keyboard.

From the outdoor swimming pool are views of the valley from a viewing platform where you can enjoy the sunrise or sunset or just use it simply for sunbathing purposes on the double 'chill out' bed complete with roof, Moroccan cushions and privacy curtains. Or laze with a drink on the Swing for 2.
The property is finished to the highest standards and features air conditioning on timed meters, at a cost of 1 euro per 1.5 hours, internet access (laptop/tablet required). Dvds, music system, covered terrace, pool table, jacuzzi darts board and and outdoor pool.

The new children's room and shower/wc increases the accommodation so a total of
10-12 can be housed very comfortably but not totally suitable for 6 couples. A mix of adults and children would be much preferred due to number of single beds. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE ALLOW FOR 12 SINGLE MEN OR 12 SINGLE WOMEN TO BOOK - WE CATER FOR FAMILIES WITH NUMBERS UP TO 12.

All linen and towels (inc. beach/pool towels) are provided.
There will be a 750.00 Euros returnable security damage deposit which will be held by VRBO against your credt card and will be fully refundable providing there are no breakages or damage to the property.

A car is an absolute necessity as the house is based at the top of a mountain and in 40 degree heat it is impossible to walk to the supermarket and carry back a week's shopping even though the nearest town is only an 8 minute drive from the house.

We have been advertising and welcoming guests to our house since August 2009. Do visit the Video for an idea of the stunning views:

A really relaxing stay with amazing views
Really relaxing - brilliant amenities and outstanding views! Watching the sunrise from the veranda was such a wonderful experience. Lots to entertain the children- swimming pool, darts and a pool table to name a few. Annie and Rick were so helpful- there to answer any of our queries and to help in any way they could. The drive up the mountain is a bit daunting at first but once you’re used to it - it’s easy. I would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful retreat
We just returned from a great stay at the villa. We were a group of 8 ranging from age 11 to 77. We all loved the villa and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained from the swimming pool, hot tub and games area. Rick and Annie were perfect hosts and were always happy to help with local information and restaurant recommendations. We hope to visit again in the future.

Fantastic Villa, great stay
Our family stayed end of August 2022 for two weeks. Rick and Annie are lovely hosts who really make an effort to make you feel like guests. Fantastic outdoor area and we had many great evenings spent around the pool and playing the games. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, if you want a relaxing stay getting away from it all, we can all highly recommend this Villa.

Fantastic 5 star stay
We’ve just returned from an amazing stay at this villa. The pictures do not do it justice. From the very beginning everything to do with the villa was great. The villa hosts, Annie and Rick, were great. Brilliant communication including meeting us to take us directly to the villa. The villa itself is fantastic; so much to do and very well equipped….there was something for everyone! Was great being able to spend our days by the pool then bbq and play pool and darts outside in the evening! The views from the villa were spectacular…enjoyed catching the morning sunrise from the terrace. Thank you Annie and Rick….we’ll defo be back x

Beautiful villa with incredible views
We have just returned from an amazing week at the villa. The villa and grounds are beautiful (the photos don’t do it justice) and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was a good size and kept the children entertained for hours and we loved chilling out in the covered veranda area in the evenings. The drive up to the villa is very steep, however this was not a problem once we had got used to this and it did mean that there were incredible views from the terrace at the top. Rick and Annie were great hosts - they were really helpful and answered all of our questions. Overall a great week in a beautiful place!

Wonderful stay in fantastic surroundings
We were a family of 10 (7 adults and 3 children) on holiday at this amazing place for 15 days - there was plenty of room for all of us. The place has postcard views in all directions. The house has entertainment at all times of the day (and night). At the same time, there is a fantastic viewing platform / terrace where you can relax with a good book or just enjoy the view. Everything just worked perfectly from start to finish - we experienced absolutely no problems. Rick - the host - was very helpful with recommendations for places to eat, experiences, etc. We have often said to ourselves after a holiday that we must visit this place again - this time we are absolutely sure that it will happen :-) Thanks for a wonderful stay, Engelbreth family

A very beautiful mountain hideaway
A lovely week in a fun, clean and quirky cabin in the mountains. Lots of games and things to do for the kids (and adults) and a very refreshing pool. Everything was well equipped and the views were lovely. Rick and Annie were really helpful throughout. My only criticism, (and this is probably just because we had a freak 42c heatwave) was that one couple’s rooms just had a fan and didn’t have air con and they found it a little hot, but our room was lovely and cold! Location as advertised, it’s at the top of a mountain and you need to drive to get about anywhere, but we just did a few trips to the supermarket and had a wonderful time just bbqing and having pool side drinks. Nice to get away from the manic tourist areas and there’s restaurants about a five min drive that are really pleasant and good Value. A genuinely refreshing property, definitely one of a kind and a memorable trip for everyone :)

An absolute gem
The lodge is an absolute gem. Difficult to find but when you do it will blow your mind. You are in the campo so expect some of the campo to come and meet you. This was more than our expectations were and would book again if we need to. The facilities are spot on for a family. When the host say a car is essential, they mean a car is Essential although once ensconced in, there is enough to do for whatever length of stay you have. At night from the viewing deck, you look over the entire town of Alhaurin el Grande, and look up to see a full network of stars and watch shooting stars. Just brilliant. We went as a family including 8 and 10 year olds but also 15 and 19 years old and were not bored for one minute. Brilliant! The only negative is that not all of the bedrooms have fully functioning air con and that would have been a real plus. However it did not spoil our break. Do not think twice about booking. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect setting !
We are home after 9 Nights at this beautiful place with stunning views. Rick and Annie are amazing and so so helpful. When we arrived, there was a little added excitement…due to a fire on the mountain but thankfully was got under control and we were able to enjoy our holiday. Rick was brilliant and kept us informed of how the situation was going. Anything you need or any questions you have Rick and Annie are there to assist. The cabin has everything you want on a holiday, a true home from home feel. Our kids were aged 7-20 and all loved the pool day and night fun! Not to mention the darts, hot tub, outdoor dining and pool table too! The location also is fantastic 30 mins pretty much from everywhere. We had a great day out at the lake recommended by Rick and Annie… absolutely must, so beautiful. Hopefully we will return soon. 😊☀️

Family holiday July 2019
Just back from a week at this villa with my 2 daughters and their families- 13 in total. A bit apprehensive about it all as it was our first villa holiday but everyone absolutely loved it. It is a bit away from everywhere but we had a small car to drive to the local town of Coín for shopping- it had a Lidl and a large mercadona supermarket. We ventured into benelmadena 2 nights out of our stay using a local minibus company who were brilliant aswell. We had kids ranging from 10 to 21 and they all said it was they’re best holiday ever. Just spending time with the family around the pool during the day and lazing in the hot tub and eating from the bbq in the evening was wonderful. Having no one else around to bother you - being able to jump in the pool when you wanted - even late in the evenings -was brilliant. The WiFi helped aswell when some of them wanted to just go and sit on their phones catching up with friends. Satellite tv was great aswell. There was definitely something to keep everyone happy and rick was on hand should we need him but there were absolutely no problems while we were there. No one wanted to go home and we would love to go back - thanks rick and Annie for allowing us to spend time in your wonderful retreat.

Séjour parfait
Un accueil parfait de Richard et Annie Une réactivité parfaite de Richard si question ou problème. Une maison situé à moins de 10 minutes des commerces (Carrefour à Coin) et à 40 minutes de Marbella et Malaga. Une maison très bien équipé dans un lieu reculé sans vis à vis et avec une vue exceptionnelle pour les sunrise et sunset. La dépendance avec une chambre double + salle de bain et toilette et la chambre avec tous les lits pour les enfants avec salle de bain et toilette. Le seul point que nous pouvons soumettre à Richard et Annie est de mieux préciser sur l'annonce le fait que le système de climatisation est manquante dans une des chambres de la maison principale et qu'il faut ajouter 1€ pour 1h30 de fonctionnement. Ce principe ne me dérange pas si il est expliqué car lors des années précédentes des locataires ont du certainement laissé les climatisations tourné en permanence ce qui n'est pas nécessaire, pas économique et pas écologique. Il manquerait peut être au niveau de la fenêtre de la chambre de la dépendance (celle qui a une fenêtre tourné vers l'Est) un volet ou un système de planche en bois qui évite que le soleil du matin tape et chauffe la pièce. Un grand merci pour votre accueil, vos conseils, votre aide, votre accueil. Pour les futurs locataires ces petites remarques ne doivent pas freiné votre demande dans ce lieu idyllique. Allez y les yeus fermés ! :) Enjoy and take care

Vacaciones estupendas
La casa y zonas exteriores son una maravilla, con mil detalles(mejor que en las fotos), cocina super equipada. Todo lo que uno pueda necesitar y mas. Los propietarios son muy amables, no hablan español. La casa está un poco alejada y la carretera para llegar es mala, marcadona y Lidl cercano10minutos. Muy fresquito por la noche(se duerme bien menos en la casa que está aparte que es muy calurosa) Los aires acondicionados son de pago. Son unas vacaciones para pasar en la casa sin salir demasiado con amigos y/o familiares, ya que los pueblos de al lado no tienen mucha actividad (Coín y Alhaurín el grande) Nosotros lo hemos pasado genial y esperamos volver otro año, nos ha gustado mucho.

Pooltafel, buiten bbq, hangmat en alles. Binnen is het wat donker maar bij goed weer leef je toch buiten. De eigenaar Rick is er in 5 minuten als je wat nodig hebt. We hebben allemaal erg genoten!
