Rustic spacious villa with pool
Friendly host and peaceful area. Nice garden to chill in (not so much with a toddler though due to unfenced pool). Benajarafe is quite close by with nice beaches and restaurants. A car is recommended along with mosquito sprays. Great place for adult families to relax.

Beautiful little rural retreat
Lovely outside space, gorgeous gardens. Peace and tranquility with lovely places to eat within 10 minutes. Great host, so helpful and on hand but not imposing. Beware of bugs though! Stock up on citronella or you'll get bitten alive.

Marvellous, marvellous stay!
A wonderful, traditional, picturesque villa with everything you could want - a beautiful setting, peaceful surroundings, lovely pool and the most helpful and friendly host Jan! We had no car and she so kindly drove us to get our first lot of shopping which was very much appreciated. After that we used to the bus which was very cheap and comfortable. We had a fabulous week - it was well worth the 2 1/2 year wait! Can’t recommend this villa highly enough - would love to come back !!!!

Amazing hidden house!
we had a wonderful stay at this beautiful location. the house, garden and swimming pool are located in an invisible spot among the colorful plants, trees and birds. It almost never rains in this region, but it did during our stay. This caused some inconvenience (power and water) but was resolved well by Jan, the host. Jan is very nice and helpful. Do you like peace and quiet, but do you like to be near a lively city with restaurants and beautiful cities? Then ValleNiza is the place to go! We may come back here again.

Lovely, relaxing and fun filled family holiday
We all enjoyed our stay at this villa, the kids (and adults) loved the pool and its so relaxing in quiet setting but 10 mins drive to the lovely town of torre de mar. The pictures are a true perception of the villa clean and tidy and everything you need. The owner Jan could not have been more helpful. She got us small amount of food in for our late night arrival and took us to the supermarket on the first day and arranged taxis for our trip back to the airport. We eventually hired a car but the bus is only 1.1 euros to torre. There is a café and restaurant with 10 mins walk on the beach front from the villa which were great, would recommend this villa and one day hope to return.

Loved it!
The villa and pool were perfect for us, it was in a quiet location, only the sounds of nature, mostly the parrots in the trees, a little quirky, and very well equipped. I hope we get the chance to stay there again. We needed mosquito spray as we did get a few bites at first, but using 'Avon skin so soft' worked fairly well for me. I sprayed it all over in the mornings and early evenings, and after being in the pool. The mosquitoes don't come out in the heat of the day. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our week there and the owner could not have been more helpful. We invited her to join us for a coffee a couple of times as she was so kind, friendly and interesting. The garden is pretty with lots of colourful flowers and it was a joy to sit and relax out there each day and then take a dip in the pool. We were there at the end of September and the weather was perfect for us at about 26 degrees. There are shaded areas were you can sit and relax if the heat gets too much. It would definitely be beneficial to have a car but we managed without one. There are bus stops a 5 minute walk away on the coast road and buses to Malaga and the opposite direction stop there. The coast road does not have a proper pavement, just a painted line on the road seperating pedestrians from the traffic, which we found quite daunting. It was only a very short walk along this road to the bus stop though. We took a taxi from the airport, which cost us 55 Euros for 2 people. A Fab holiday!

Hidden gem
Quiet traditional villa with a beautiful garden and pool. If you like modern its not for you, but if you want character it's perfect. All you hear are the birds. You do need a car, especially if you're there when it's too hot for long walks. Its only a couple of miles from town so taxis would be cheap I guess. Could do with the garden being swept and a bit of a better cleaner but that's not a big deal. There are lots of cooking utensils and pots for home cooking. The bathroom is gorgeous, though the water temperature was somewhat erratic, again no problem, a cool shower was welcome in the heat. The pool was lovely, you would have thought it was heated!! Jan is charming and happy to help with whatever you need though we tried not to bother her. We all had a lovely holiday, Thank you!!

Little piece of wild paradise
Honestly, upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the pool water was a bit murky and the photos did not exactly match reality:the cushion covers of the small living room in front of the kitchen were different (prettier in green in the photo). So a small disappointment but Jan, the hostess, on a crutch, was not at her best. Jan is charming and always available. The location of the house is perfect: no building around, at 5 minutes walk from the beach right in front, surrounded by lush nature. Be aware that there is no air conditioning. Even with fans in the rooms and living room, it’s unbearable. The ceilings and roof are very low. The roof is flat and not insulated which explains the heat.Just cooking the eggs makes the room overheat. Jan knows this flaw. She offered us a new fan for the living room that my husband quickly installed.It helped us. We would take turns sleeping in the living room when it became unbearable in the rooms. Fortunately we had the pool right outside the door (pool that we kept well and left in perfect condition) Finally, a perfect pool water in a small piece of nature totally preserved from constructions for tourists, it is very significant. The property just needs a little renovation mainly air conditioning or roof insulation. It remains a rural house. Do not expect the luxury often encountered in beautiful summer rentals Abritel. But a rural house in the middle of nature, surrounded by trees, flowers and birds.

Defraudados
Con deciros que estuvimos 1 noche y nos fuimos a la mañana siguiente, está todo dicho. Puse una reclamación a vrbo para el reembolso de parte de lo abonado, que me fue denegada. Cuando alquilo la casa yo pago a vrbo, por lo tanto ellos son los responsables de verificar que esa casa está en condiciones . Para la propietaria puede que estaría todo en condiciones, para nosotros era un foco de infecciones. Una vergüenza,nos sentimos timados, tanto por la propietaria como por vrbo

C'est pas comme prévu
Bonjour, La propriétaire est sympathique, cependant, quelques points méritent d'être soulignés pour améliorer l'expérience des futurs locataires. Tout d'abord, il serait utile d'ajouter une photo de l'extérieur de la maison. Actuellement, les recherches sur Google montrent la maison voisine, ce qui est trompeur. Contrairement à ce que l'annonce suggère, ce n'est pas une villa, et le jardin privé est beaucoup plus petit que ce que les photos laissent entendre. Les photos montrent principalement le chemin menant à la propriété. La maison est ancienne et nécessite des rénovations. L'intérieur est vieillot, et la télévision est un modèle obsolète, non connecté, datant d'il y a plus de 15 ans. Nous avons dû nous contenter des chaînes locales, bien que nous ne parlions pas espagnol. L'absence de climatisation est problématique, surtout en été. Les nuits sont chaudes et les moustiques nombreux, ce qui a rendu notre séjour inconfortable. Compte tenu du prix de plus de 200 € par nuit, l'installation d'un climatiseur serait un minimum. La piscine, bien que jolie, présente des dangers. Certains carreaux de mosaïque sont décollés et peuvent blesser les enfants. J'ai moi-même été blessé. Je m'excuse pour ces remarques, mais je suis certain que la propriétaire saura prendre les mesures nécessaires pour améliorer cette maison. Il serait également préférable de ne pas la désigner comme une villa dans l'annonce. Bonne continuation.

We loved this property and Jan was the perfect host . We were looking for a Spanish Villa with own pool in a quite location and we wasn’t disappointed . Jan was so kind and took us to buy groceries the first day and also took us round the nearest towns and dropped us off Torres del Mar a beautiful seaside and classy town.

Very relaxing stay in Beautiful Villa and oh so quiet
From start to finish Jan, the host, could not have been more helpful. Precise instructions and even got some supplies for me as we arrived late. As per all the photos and great having all the different areas around the pool to follow the Autumn sun. Used the Pool every day and loved it. Also used the BBQ every day. The inside was just as great with more than enough room. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Not one thing missing as far as we were concerned. The location was excellent. 6 minutes walk to the beach and the campsite bar, which served lovely tapas. 30 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes to the next town Torre Del Mar, which if defo worth a visit. We found Mora Beach which was about 20 minutes drive where there was amazing snorkeling amd paddle boards, kayaks for rent. Nerja was worth a visit but a bit more touristy.Jan came round before we left to say goodbye and wish us a pleasant journey. Recommend highly to families or couples to get away from it all.

Lovely stay at private villa
The owner of this lovely villa and pool remains unobtrusive, whilst is very accommodating and will be on hand should you have any queries. The garden is beautiful as you will see from the pictures which is exactly how it looks. The sun is on the property all day which is lovely, and very nice to have a covered area to sit under when it gets really hot. The accommodation is very bright sunny and spacious, with ceiling fans in the rooms, and screens on the windows so they can remain open. There is a bar/restaurant outside the Campsite at the bottom of the road and it is nice to have this nearby if you wanted to stroll down there in an evening. The bus can be caught at the bottom of the road, going either towards Malaga or Torre del Mar (which is only 1 euro 24). Torre del Mar is a lovely town, with many restaurant's and chringuitos along the seafront. This was a perfectly peaceful holiday. If you do hire a car, there is ample space to park at the property, and this would give you more scope if you wish to visit other areas.

Vacaciones perfectas
Hace unos días que hemos vuelto de vacaciones en este alojamiento y no hemos podido estar más contentos. Las fotos son un reflejo de la realidad, ha sido un auténtico placer disfrutar de la piscina, ya sea sentados en sus escalones, desde las tumbonas al sol, o a la sombra en el merendero. El primer día llegamos tarde después de un largo viaje y Jan nos recibió con un pequeño set de bienvenida, lo cual nos permitió ahorrarnos un viaje y poder cenar y desayunar sin tener que salir del alojamiento. En estos tiempos de pandemia hemos agradecido mucho el poder estar a menos de 10 minutos a pie de la playa, un chiringuito y el bar del camping cercano, sin necesidad prácticamente de utilizar mascarilla, ya que es una zona muy tranquila. Si se desea, se pueden hacer escapadas a la cercana Nerja, Frigiliana, Málaga... Nos encantaría volver algún día.
