Beautiful Casa 4 pp with swimming pool, Axarquia, Malaga (<50km), Costa del Sol

We have spent a week in this superb casa. It provides everything for a recharging holiday. During the hot days kids enjoys the pool. The house is equipped top grade facilities. The rural area is perfect to switch off from everday life. Nice walks to the neighbouring villages.

This villa is the best equipped we have ever stayed in. Great communication with the owners and a real pleasure to visit.

Just got home after spending 10 wonderful days at Casa Arboleda with our 2 teenage children. As noted in other reviews the property was spotlessly clean and communication with the owners was excellent from start to finish. Casa Arboleda had everything we needed. We spent most of our time outdoors and really enjoyed sitting on the terrace, enjoying the views and having a dip in the pool. It took us about 25 minutes to drive from the motorway up to the villa. The road winds up into the hills and the villa itself is reached via a short, quite steep driveway, which is concreted and typical of access to villas in this area. The setting for us was perfect as we wanted a base from where we could explore the local area, and further afield but away from the hustle and bustle of a coastal resort. The kitchen at the villa is well equipped and we also used the gas barbecue. We followed some of the owners recommendations for eating out locally and were not disappointed!! Overall, we will look back on our time at Casa Arboleda with many happy memories and would love to return sometime.

This house is very well equipped for self catering. Excellent kitchen equipment. Good choice of seating areas outdoors and plenty of shade. It was spotlessly clean and easy to use. It’s on a steep hill and it’s a drive to get to restaurants and shops so make sure you pick up supplies en route. Air con is very efficient. If I had any criticism it would be the bedlinen - over warm polyester quilt and polycotton duvet covers. A light summer quilt and pure cotton covers would have made a big difference. Other than that, a lovely holiday destination.

We spent a wonderful week in this house! Swimming pool is really great and the neighbourood is really quiet. House very well equipped (only barbecue didn't work but that was not really a pb for us). Wonderful walks in the campaign among almond trees and lizards ! White villages are about 15 mn from home by car. Thanks for these wonderful holidays!

The villa was excellent, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Great location with great views and real privacy. Comfortable beds and lounge, good bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The villa was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The only slight problem was an electrical fault which meant the power keep switching off when we were using appliances. It was easily turned back on at the fuse box, but was slightly annoying. There is no DVD player in the villa and only Dutch channels on the TV, which might be a consideration for some guests. The weather was extremely hot, but the air-conditioning meant that we were very comfortable. We really appreciated the shaded terrace with its' comfortable furniture and ceiling fan. The pool area was perfect. Having a shady place for the car was also helpful in the heat. We visited Granada, Malaga, Torre del Mar, Nerja and the surrounding white villages. We found Competa particularly charming and discovered several good restaurants there. Be careful driving into the villages as they have extremely narrow, steep roads, with no warning of what's ahead. We soon learned to park at the bottom of each village and walk up instead. If you hire a car try and get something with bit of power, as a stay at this lovely villa involves a lot of driving along steep, winding roads if you want to get out and about.
