Heavenly villa

Villa was just amazing. Views for miles. Pool area was a fantastic sun trap. House was clean and well supplied. Excellent welcome folder with information. Was travelling with parents and three children, plenty of space for everyone, multiple seating areas inside and out. Village at bottom of the hill was lovely. Great food, friendly people. Mountains were beautiful and nice to drive around. Villa just 15 min from ocean and Lidl. Drive up the hill was daunting the first time but once we knew the way was easy. We hired a polo and got up no problems. Absolutely recommend this villa, hope to go back again in the future.

Fantastic Half Term Week

A lovely well appointed villa with spectacular views and a lovely swimming pool. The sunsets were epic, and we had a great time as a family. My only slight negative would be the drive up being on windy roads meaning we didnt venture out for dinner due to not wanting to do the drive in the dark. Otherwise, we had a great week.

The Pictures Don't Lie...

Just left Marc and Pippa’s place after an 11 night stay with my wife and father-in-law. Everything was exactly as described and communication with Marc was excellent. The road up, as mentioned in a couple reviews, is somewhat daunting the first time, but you do get used to it. And it really is the only way you'd get to experience the incredible views the villa provides. The villa itself is wonderfully outfitted, very spacious and the pool is spectacular. We did a couple of day trips down to Malaga and Algarrobbo and had a couple of dinners in Sayalonga, but basically spent the bulk of our time just hanging out by the pool not wanting to go anywhere... Thanks again for everything Marc!

Stunning views

Really well presented and the house has basically everything you could need The view is as good as all of the previous reviews claim and the pool area is perfect The road up is a bit tricky at first (to navigate) but once you’ve been up once it’s fine Communication with first class Would happily recommend Would recommend taking a decent quality mosquito repellent (to the area in general not just the house)

Erholsamer Urlaub in spektakulärer Kulisse

Das Ferienhaus hatte alles was man braucht, genügend Platz drinnen und draußen. Es ist mir sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet undman kann viel entdecken. Man findet auch immer ein schattiges Plätzchen, wo angenehm der Wind weht und man hat immer einen fantastischen Blick entweder auf das Mittelmeer oder die umliegenden Berge. Der Poolbereich ist mega!!! Wir haben abends viel gegrillt (man hat die Wahl: Holzkohle oder Gas) und haben es sehr genossen draußen zu sitzen. Ob der Blick zum Meer oder über die Berge, es war einfach toll. Wenn man den Weg nach oben einmal gefahren ist, hat man sich auch daran gewöhnt. So schlimm wie manche es beschrieben haben, ist es nicht. Man soolte nur keinen tiefergelegten Sportwagen ausleihen. ("Abenteuerlich" beginnt doch erst, wenn Allrad erforderlich ist, oder?). Uns hat es auch nicht gestört, dass es keine Klimaanlage gab (wir haten bis zu 36 Grad). Über die Ventilatoren wurde es auch sehr angenehm. Insgesamt hatten wir sehr erholsame und tolle Tage. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen. wie manche es

Fabulous Family holiday

WOW breathtaking views. Villa delivered on all aspects. You will find yourself never wanting to leave, already planning your return. We loved the outdoor dinning, watching the spectacular sunsets. Great place, great nearby activities,great host. Fabulous holiday!! its so much more than you think it will be. We particularly enjoyed morning’s round the pool, afternoons on the beach, evening’s around the villa. Amenities - Lidl supermarket a short drive away, but try the fabulous local butcher next door for your BBQ. Out and about you are just spoilt for choices of what to do during your stay from beach to exploring mountain villages. My children aged 14,16 and 18 enjoyed the kayaking on Nerja beach. Activity floats on the sea in Torre de Mar. Sayalonga Village has a lovely atmosphere. Restaurant,Bakery,pharmacy and small shop. However - I can’t say enough!! nothing beats just been at the villa, enjoying at nature at its best with your family. Thank you for a wonderful stay. See you again. Note: we arrive in the dark, map was easy to follow. Completed no problems.

Superb villa with stunning views

We are a family of 5 adults and had a wonderful 8 nights in this beautiful villa. It was wonderfully clean and fully equipped and furnished to a very high standard. The pool was a good size and there was a selection of shaded areas to relax and take in the stunning views of both coast and mountains. So tranquil yet only a short drive to beach/supermarket. Just be aware the road up to the villa is not for the faint hearted but you get used to it! Hire a car with a bit of oomph and not too low a suspension! Communication with the owner was excellent with very fast response times. Can highly recommend.

Great Villa

We stayed in The Villa for 10 days and we really didn't want to leave. It was very well stocked, and a real bonus to have some essentials ready for us when we arrived. The pool was the best we've had for a long time clean and decent length. The villa was clean spacious and with some amazing views all the way to the coast. Our host was to notch and always answered quickly. There are lots of areas to relax in and outside, so even with 3 kids it was a chilled holiday. All round beautiful villa with great pool.

Urlaub auf dem Dach der Welt

Das Haus ist einfach ein Traum. So viele liebevolle Details und der Ausblick, der Pool lassen diesen Urlaub einfach unvergesslich werden. Abgesehen von der doch ziemlich abenteuerlichen Auffahrt war der komplette Aufenthalt einfach bombastisch. Man könnte sicherlich auch negative Sachen finden Aber gibt es das nicht überall. Ein Problem in Spanien ist die Wassernot. Auch Insekten sind nicht zu verachten. Dies alles ist aber zu vernachlässigen, bei diesem Aufenthalt in dem tollen Haus. Wir werden wiederkommen. Vielen Dank noch mal für alles

Paradies über Sayalonga

Wir haben unseren Urlaub im Haus von Marc und Pippa sehr genossen. Der Checkin war unkompliziert und Marc war rund um die Uhr telefonisch erreichbar. Beeindruckt hat uns auch das Willkommenspaket, das auf uns in der Küche gewartet hat. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und wir haben die kühlen Abende vor dem Kamin genossen. Der wunderschön angelegte Garten, der Poolbereich und die atemberaubende Aussicht sind ein Traum. Gerne möchten wir wieder nach Sayalonga zurückkommen.

Casa Los Picos ist ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus, das alle Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Schon bei der Ankunft beeindruckt die traumhafte Lage mit atemberaubendem Blick auf die umliegenden Berge und das Meer. Das Haus selbst ist äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem Komfort ausgestattet. Die geräumigen und lichtdurchfluteten Zimmer bieten viel Platz und sind mit liebevollen Details dekoriert, die eine gemütliche Atmosphäre schaffen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die voll ausgestattete Küche, die keine Wünsche offen lässt und zur Zubereitung köstlicher Mahlzeiten einlädt. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der großzügige Außenbereich mit einem wunderschönen Garten und den vielen verschiedenen Terrassen. Hier kann man wunderbar entspannen, grillen und die herrliche Natur genießen. Der Pool sorgt an heißen Tagen für eine willkommene Abkühlung und bietet einen tollen Ort zum Entspannen und Erholen. Der Service und die Gastfreundschaft der Gastgeber waren ebenfalls herausragend. Sie standen jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung. Insgesamt ist Casa Los Picos ein perfekter Ort für einen unvergesslichen Urlaub!

SIMPLY AMAZING

This place is a true paradise for nature afficionados and, as such, we (family of four from Canada) absolutely fell in love with the quiet, amazing mountain perch. We thoroughly enjoyed the (very) well equipped kitchen, 2 types of barbecues (gas and charcoal), great dining area outside, super comfie bedrooms, refreshing and large pool (great to relax and cool off after a hot July day trip to nearby Granada for example), and many lounging areas around the property. However, the best part was the unbelievable view! Even after a couple of weeks here it still took our breath away! For people worried about the drive up the mountain, we would recommend simply taking it slow the first few times, and it will be fine. We did it at least once per day for nearly two weeks and got quite comfortable with it. It is *well* worth it in any case. If you keep the place clean, ants etc. that you would expect normally expect to find in the countryside can easily be managed. This is an exquisite property —obviously the owners, Marcus and Pipa, care about its upkeep a great deal— and we would go back in a hearbeat. Totally our speed.

Serenity uncovered

We had booked the Villa some 10 months ago and have been really looking forward to it. Communication with the host was fantastic - little pointers to make the holiday even better. Read some of the comments about the drive up to the Villa, having now done it, wouldn't worry about it. Once you get to the Villa you just enjoy the house, the grounds the pool. On many occassions we spoke about how quiet it was, hearing a dog bark on one of the other hills just helped with the serenity of the place. Would we go back, absolutely. Thank you for making a one week holiday feel a lot longer...

Outstanding property, excellent views, fantastic management

From initial enquiry through to checking out at the end of our week it’s been a pleasure to deal with Marc and stay at the Casa. The photographs do not do the space and view justice, it’s just wonderful. Marc was a pleasure to deal with, easy to contact (not that we needed to), and the villa itself was spotlessly clean, and a real gem. The location is fantastic, it is up in the hills with superb views, wonderfully peaceful, and a lovely pool terrace to while away the days. The location to amenities is great - 20 mins to Lidl and the beach, 30 mins to the water park and a big Eroski, 40 mins to Nerja, and 50 mins from Malaga airport. Heartily and truly recommended.

Left Villa halfway through stay

Amazing Views, Great pool. However! Road up to the Villa is truly awful. Have been renting in Sayalonga/Competa area for last ten years, this is the worst road up to a Villa I have experienced. Advice would be Rent a 4x4, do not arrive in the dark and make as few trips as possible up and down the hill. The lack of Insect screens on windows (only three in the whole Villa, all broken) and no Insect curtains on the doors made getting air into the house challenging during both daytime and evening. Due to the absence of Insect screens we did not want to open the shutters and doors, so the house was very dark and very hot, daytime and evenings. Considering there is no air con, the fans in the Villa were inadequate. Ceiling fans in two of the bedrooms did not work. One bedroom did not have one. Desk fans were provided, but were dirty and not big enough. Insect nets over the beds, were dirty and worn with holes and rips. So were ineffective. We do not usually have a problem with the bugs in Spain, but in the evenings outside the Villa the bugs were a problem for all. A few plumbing issues, a leaking toilet and poor drainage in main en-suite. Downstairs en-suite had problem with drains, omitting awful smell which made bathroom unusable and bedroom very unpleasant to sleep in. As a family of five, for us the lack of effective shaded areas around the Villa was a problem. Making it difficult to take refuge from the sun outside in the daytime. We were due to stay for two weeks but left after one week. Based on our experience we would not recommend the Villa

About the host

Hosted by Marcus Green

Myself and my partner Pippa spend most of our time running our restaurants in the South of England. We fell in love with this property 15 years ago, and have since renovated it to become the luxury villa it is today. We were sold on this property as a holiday home due to it's breathtaking views and incredible setting in a traditional Spanish village, making it the perfect get away home. However, it is only a short distance from the tourist attractions such as; water parks, shopping centres, bars, restaurants and beaches making it the perfect destination for an all-round fantastic holiday.

Why they chose this property

This villa is set on the highest point of La Rabita mountain, an area under special protection in Sayalonga. This provides the most breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and deep valleys, overlooking the white villages, deep valleys, mediterranean sea and Morocco (on a clear day).

What makes this property unique

Outstanding views.
Hiking trails.
The highest point of a specially protected mountain.
Set in a traditional Spanish village with a friendly community, a world away from the hustle and bustle of tourists.
While the beaches and tourist attractions are only a stone's throw away.
