About this property

Tranquil villa with breath-taking panoramic views of Lake Viñuela & Mount Maroma

Our villa with its stunning views of Lake Viñuela and the surrounding mountain ranges is located in the beautiful region of Axarquía and only 45 minutes from Málaga airport. This impressive property, which is fully air conditioned, has 2 double and 2 twin bedrooms all with en suite and fitted wardrobes, superb living accommodation which includes a fully fitted kitchen, large living room and a spectacular semi-circular shaped sun room with dining and sitting areas overlooking the lake.
The villa offers you various terraces; the large main one has a sitting area for 8 ideal for an evening drink and also there is an eating area with a large dining table and 8 chairs for al fresco dining with a metal gazebo with retractable sun blinds, a small terrace has a quiet sitting area with 2 chairs perfect for a drink for two amongst the fruit trees . You will love our large private pool (10 x 5 m) and its surrounding area; where you can enjoy the pool, the sun and relaxing with a cold drink, not necessarily in that order and a shady eating area.


The Villa

The main part of the villa consists of a large, fully equipped kitchen which has been finished to a very high standard with handcrafted wooden units and granite worktops and splash-backs. There is a gas hob, electric ovens, fridge, plus the usual appliances and a dishwasher. The utility room has a microwave, washing machine, large fridge and a separate large freezer.
For your comfort, there is an attractive large family lounge with a vaulted beamed ceiling and cozy two and three seater sofas and coffee tables, satellite Flat screen TV, an integrated fireplace, air conditioning and double sliding doors to the sun room. It is the ideal place for you to relax in the evenings during the colder months.
The stunning semi-circular shaped sun room has sitting and dining areas with sliding floor to ceiling windows which looks out to the truly stunning views of the pool, lake and mountains. The dining area consists of a large dining table and 8 chairs, whilst the sitting area has very comfortable leather two and three seater sofas. It is the perfect place for you to enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the sun going down and setting on the mountain ranges on the chilly evenings.
Bedroom 1: 1 king bed and en-suite bathroom with a bath with a shower over and wc; large fitted wardrobe, dressing table with a vanity mirror, air conditioning, ceiling fan and sliding doors to the sun room.
Bedroom 2: 2 single beds and en-suite bathroom with a shower and WC; large fitted wardrobe, air conditioning and a ceiling fan.

Bedroom 4: 2 single beds and en-suite bathroom with a shower, a bidet and WC; large fitted wardrobe, dressing table with a vanity mirror, air conditioning and a ceiling fan.


The Outside

On the terrace outside the kitchen, there is a large dining table with 8 armchairs under a metal gazebo with retractable sun blinds, give essential shade when required. There is also a sitting area with new comfortable wicker L-shaped settee, armchair and a pouffe.The barbecue, conveniently near to dining area, is the ideal place to cook outside. You can enjoy your al fresco meal made from abundant local produce, with the magnificent views as your back-drop.
The large secluded and private pool (10 x 5 m) is so inviting that you will be unable to resist the refreshing water. You will enjoy the pool for a swim or just splashing around. Its surrounding area has non slip tiles, 8 pool loungers, a large table for eating with plenty of seating room for 8 people and an outside solar shower.
The roof terrace allows for secluded sun bathing, as well as giving you panoramic views of the whole surrounding area, including Los Romanes and other small whitewashed mountain villages on the opposite side of the lake, Lake Viñuela dam to the far end and Mount Maroma. It is also a great place to view the stars at night with hardly any background light.
There is a mature garden around the property with orange, grapefruit, peach and lemon trees behind the villa. The palm trees in a small secluded area by the pool giving it an oasis feel which can be light at night. There are various plants and trees at the front of the house.
We provide good quality pool and bath towels plus linen which are free of charge. All bedrooms have a hairdryer. There is free Wi-Fi throughout, even around the pool.
A car is essential and there is enough parking area for three cars.
We look forward to having you as our guests and for you to enjoy a deserved break in the sun and an unforgettable experience.


Los Romanes and the Axarquía region

Los Romanes is a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes by car and has very good restaurants which have an excellent reputation with the locals and holiday makers, two small super markets, local bakery and butchers, village bars and an olive mill. One of the best restaurants in the area is called El Charco, commonly known as Miguel's. There are other excellent restaurants on the lake shore 5 minutes by car where the views are spectacular, as well as an Indian restaurant with an outside eating area, again with equally amazing views on the way down to the lake. There are more restaurants and shops about a 5 minute drive in the village of Puente don Manuel. The local goat herder often 'walks' his goats down the hillside and it is always a fantastic sight, the age old traditions are still alive and well.
Lake Viñuela offers non-motorised water sports, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and fishing. There are many splendid walks around the lake and in spring the wild flowers are bountiful. The Axarquía region is excellent for hiking, mountain biking and horse trekking. There is a water park 15 minutes away at Torre Del Mar and there are other water parks and theme parks near Málaga.
There are some typically Spanish bars and restaurants in the small whitewashed mountain villages such as Comares, Periana and Alcaucin nearby to explore. A short 20 minute drive takes you to the coast, a major shopping centre, Velez-Malaga the attractive capital of the region, and the bustling Spanish seaside resort of Torre del Mar with its famous fish restaurants and wonderful beach “chiringuitos” offering the local delicacy the “espeto” (sardines on a skewer) for just 5 euros!

Villa with gorgeous views over Mount Maroma
Check in was easy as per instructions. The villa is really secure with shutters, an alarm system and lots of external cameras. The listing does not mention that they are overlooking the pool area which we felt was a little invasion of privacy. The owner assured us they were not recording but we feel it should be mentioned in the listing. The villa is situated on the outskirts of the village Los Romanes which has a small supermarket. Larger supermarkets are 10 minutes away in Vinuela or 25 minutes in Velez Malaga. The Village is around a '20/25 minute' up a steep hill. We found this a little too hot to do in August. Having a drink on the terrace overlooking the breathtaking views of Mount Maroma was amazing. It's such a stunning setting. There was plenty of room inside the villa with 2 bedrooms in the house & 2 below by the pool in a separate annex with its own entrance. The villa had air con in all the rooms and is really well equipped to very high standard. Large smart TV with English channels, a large fridge and separate freezer in the utility to compliment the fridge in the kitchen, 8 comfortable sun loungers around the pool, plenty of tables and an umbrella. On the terrace is a lovely large patio table and chairs set and separate comfy seating which we used every day to have breakfast. This is a lovely, well equipped villa, in a stunning setting for a relaxing holiday. We had a fab holiday & would definitely return.

Great villa and location for a more traditional Spanish experience
Lots of space inside & outside and a very well equipped Villa. Nancy was a great host and quick to respond to questions. There are lots of steps to access the outside areas. Our party had not fully understood the segregation between the main house (2 bedrooms) & and pool house (2 bedrooms) being on different levels with separate access. As we’d brought shared toiletries to save on packing, it meant lots of co-ordination when getting ready. A car is essential as well as a good level of fitness if you want to walk to the nearby restaurant ( which had excellent food) and the local bar which had very friendly service. Both of these are a 20-25mins walk up a very steep hill. Overall a great holiday, but not suitable for all ages.

Stunning scenery
Check in was easy, as per the instructions from the owner. This is a very large villa with plenty of places to go if you want some alone time. The pool area is good although the plastic panels around the pool could do with replacing as they came up easily in certain places. The view from the pool is stunning and we were glad that the lake had water in it, which was a lovely turquoise colour. The villa has everything you need for a self catering holiday, as well as a good gas barbeque to use. The villa has air con in all the rooms, which was very welcomed in the 35c heat! Lots of sitting areas available. You certainly need a car as we tried the ‘15 minute’ walk to Los Romanes, but after 30 mins of walking up hill and being chased by a dog, we gave up when we hadn’t reached the village! Lol…overall, it was a lovely break and would recommend this villa.

Incredible views!
We had a wonderful stay at Nancy and Justin's villa. The views across the lake to the mountain were quite spectacular. We enjoyed many hours on the balcony relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The villa is very well equipped and comfortable. There is a roof top terrace which enjoys the sun all day and is a perfect place to watch the sunset. We were able to walk into the small village of Los Romanes, it is a steep walk but you can walk in about 15 mins. There is a lovely little Tapas bar, a hotel, which was great for a drink on the balcony, and a shop to buy provisions. There is also a lovely restaurant, which we enjoyed having fantastic lunch in. We had a wonderful week.

A great holiday in Los Romanes
We were a group of 4 adults, of a certain age, who have been holidaying in the Los Romanes area for over 15 years and this is one of the best villas we have stayed in. The views are amazing, especially from the sunroom. The layout is great and met our needs well. The outdoor spaces had everything we needed, including the large pool and modern patio furniture. Loved the fresh fruit straight from the garden. Inside, the bedrooms are large and airy with toiletries and cleaning materials. The kitchen is well stocked. Nancy was so easy to communicate with, right from the start and during the holiday. We have to admit that there was a problem with the electricity/water system - something that Nancy had no control over. Can't praise Ruben, the electrician, enough. He was very thorough, always contactable, worked hard to sort the problem and succeeded. Through all this, Nancy and Justin kept in touch and offered, no matter what time of day or night, as much help as they could - despite being in Germany. All's well that ends well and it did not spoil our holiday in any way, all part of the adventure. We are already making plans to return in 2020, at least once. Thank you Nancy. M, A, G & A.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy L

Host profile image
In 2016 we went on holiday to Los Romanes, and instantly fell in love with the whole region and especially the views of Lake Viñuela with Mount Maroma in the background. We were lucky enough to find an outstanding villa with its facilities and views. We live in Germany and are hoping to eventually retire to the villa, so we can enjoy the wonderful Spanish life style and the beautiful region.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy a villa with great views of Lake Viñuela and Mount Maroma, at least 3 bedrooms and a large pool and its surrounding area. One of the main reasons we bought this property, is that it is mainly on one level and only some low steps down to the pool and two of the bedrooms.

What makes this property unique

It has some of the best views and one of the largest pools in the surrounding area of Los Romanes, without loads of steps.
