Casa Lillotte: Scenic Hillside Villa with Private Pool and Nearby Beaches

Absolutely wonderful villa!! A real home from home! Spotlessly clean and so well equipped with everything you need. As a foodie and lover of cooking, Katie’s cookbooks, knives, utensils, etc are a real added bonus!! And the outdoor kitchen….heaven!! Beds are all very comfortable, air con is great throughout the villa. It has such a lovely Spanish cottage feel to it. The pool, several terraces and views really make this place…even better than the photos! Katie is a fabulous host and very responsive and helpful to any question or need, as were the property managers that greeted us. We were definitely made to feel very welcome! It’s a lovely spot but you do need a car. However, only being a few minutes drive (max 10-15) from Torrox, Nerja and Frigiliana is great. Malaga and Granada were also very easy to drive to. We also used one of the taxi companies on Katie’s pin board who were then on hand via what’s app whenever we needed them. We’ve stayed in a few villas in this region and would definitely recommend and return to casa lilotte!

What a place! Absolutely fabulous villa - a real home from home. It has everything you need and has a lovely feel to it. The views are incredible and there are plenty of areas to take it all in. The owner was so helpful and responsive - really lovely! Nothing was too much trouble. It’s close to everything but not walkable - you will need a car. We didn’t find taxis to be easy so we just drove. We loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Our stay at the villa was Amazing! Beautiful views, home waa immaculate. Plenty of room for family of 6. Well stocked, excellent communication from the host. Will definitely stay here again when back. Thank you

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house. The house has at least 5 good terraces and nice outdoor areas for both sun and shade and the pool is unbeatable with 32 degrees warm (a little deep) water. We really enjoyed the small bar area outside, where there was both a sink, hotplates and a fridge. There is a beautiful view from everywhere - over the mountains with mango, citrus and avocado plants with the sea in the background. Inside the house was also nice with a slightly small but fully equipped kitchen. We slept well in the good beds and with well-functioning air conditioning in all the rooms. We also enjoyed that there was a bathtub in both bathrooms. We had super nice communication with Katie before and during our stay and Katie had left both wine, water, snacks, cold cuts etc. for us upon arrival. We felt very welcome - almost like visiting old friends. The house was the setting for a really good holiday with both relaxation, where we enjoyed all the house's possibilities and trips to e.g. Alhambra, Caminito del Rey and Rio Chillar

GREAT OUTSIDE AREA, well maintained, plenty of places to sit and always a table in the shade. Four good sun-beds, two large chairs, one parasol.Really lovely pool - quite deep (2m) from the steps and a great temperature in June - 30c. Excellent outside kitchen with fridge, sink, hob and charcoal BBQ.Well equipped laundry room!Slightly disappointing view from the Villa of hillside with derelict buildings and rubbish. INSIDEOne person kitchen, oven, hob, toaster, microwave, fridge freezer etc. Well equipped but too much clutter on work surfaces, cupboards & dresser. Good AC in lounge area.Downstairs double-double room - coolest with AC but no blind so light comes in. Bathroom next door.UPSTAIRS - just incredibly hot!And reached by a wrought iron narrow circular staircase…One master Queen room, one twin and a newly renovated bathroom - however the shower needs a pump as barely able to rinse hair.AC Sensors in both bedrooms which switch off Air Con after 20mins of no movement which makes sleeping unbearable at 28-30c. These sensors need to be removed as the Villa is advertised as having AC. We were advised by Katie to cover the sensors which worked to a certain extent, but the AC STILL switched off during the night. AC in master bedroom needs maintenance as it makes a high pitched whining noise making sleep tricky. WiFi ok -drops in and out. Very good security. An amazing, comprehensive Welcome Pack Many thanks

We had a great time at Katie's place. It was very clean. It's very spacious even and can accommodate a large family. Check in and check out was super easy. I can only recommend it

We had the pleasure of spending a week in Katie's house in April, 2025. The house is well-located, well-equipped and a perfect choice for a nice stay in the area. Everything went smooth and Katie was very precise and responsive in her replies. We can only give this house and Katie our best recommendations. Would love to come back.

We had a fantastic stay, with the property providing everything we needed to relax and entertain the whole family whether playing in the pool, sunbathing or having a quiet game in a cool, shady corner. It was exactly the place that we hoped it would be.

We had a lovely time here - just the two of us to enjoy the property and it’s environs . As has been said , the pool area was lovely- we loved eating on the terrace on an evening . We didn’t venture too far but had a brilliant day at the Alhambra- an easy drive , half a day in the rain in Frigiliana and visited the caves which were stunning. We also went into Nerja. We had one day at the beach which we enjoyed. We didn’t go far , I understand there are prettier beaches more of a drive away but we were happy with the clear water and calm sea locally . There are restaurants locally- of course we tried El Figon - great ! We ate on the square but didn’t rate the pizzeria. The others were really nice . We had a very relaxing holiday and will probably return- reading the visitors book it would appear lots do the same .

This was a new experience for us, hiring a house with a heated pool. The veranda, the pool area, the outdoor kitchen and barbecue area really make this a special place. The views change throughout the day. Always lovely The ability to park, a big vehicle safely was great. Two washing machines, a laundry rack, clothes lines, with pegs made it so easy. Katie is an exceptional host and the kind of person I would choose as a friend. She really cares how you feel, how things are going for you and your family. Katie’s booked us a table at El Figon which we loved. Do go there, but you must book. Excellent food and service. The welcome pack was incredibly generous with sliced Han, cheese, soft drink, bread, chips, wine and cava. There was butter and marmalade and milk, tea, coffee, sugar and breakfast cereal. It was appreciated because virtually nothing is open on Sunday to stock your kitchen. We knew this and so made a beeline for more groceries before closing time on Saturday. Heating the pool was a great idea for May otherwise it would be too cold. Having Wifi and a dishwasher and the mod cons was great. We liked the small villages more than the coast but did enjoy delicious lunches on the beach and visiting nearby villages and coasts. Thank you so much, Katie.
