The villa is very nice andcomfortable, the terrace and the plants are beautiful. The view is spectacular .There are a few things that could be improved. The beds are very small for modern standards. And the sheets are still too small to fit. The duvet were of a proper size The mattress was soso. The instruction for the house was lacking some essential information and was not up to date. No info on shopping options, markets, supermarkets, restaurants, and emergency services. The carekeeper of the house, Pépé, is very friendly and helpful. Do bring a translation app if your Spanish is not fluent.

The Perfect Home Away from Home.

This villa is an undisputed gem. Nestled in breathtaking hills, it offers unparalleled views and peace. My family of four plus our dog stayed for a month and felt instantly at home. Every amenity you could wish for is at your fingertips. Location: It's remotely situated, which only adds to its allure. Lush gardens with mango and olive trees offer various spots to enjoy awe-inspiring sunsets. Daily needs are a mere 25-minute drive away, and in just 30 minutes, you can be in the vibrant town of Torre Del Mar with its fantastic beach and dining options. A quick 8-minute drive leads to Arenas, an idyllic Spanish town with a charming supermarket. We had no issues with insects. House: It boasts three luxurious bedrooms and equally grand bathrooms. The pool is its crown jewel, maintained diligently by Pepe, the owner. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze, especially with a handy outdoor BBQ and tap. The Wi-Fi is superb—zero disruptions even though I worked throughout our stay. The house is so well-designed that we rarely needed air conditioning. Gardens: A true oasis filled with amazing plants, cacti, herbs, and fruits. My kids loved watering them, witnessing their growth over our stay. It's clear that these gardens have been lovingly tended for years. Experience: Simply put, it's the Spanish retreat we've always dreamt of. We were heartbroken to leave but eager to return. This property is a treasure.

Villa Maripossa - Cortijo del abuelo

Very pleasant stay in a beautiful and authentic house in the rural hills near Arenas. Nice and big pool and a great terrace, where we experienced lots of sunsets with a glass of wine. Very friendly and helpful contact with the spanish couple who rent the Villa Mariposa. After a few days we get used to the steep track from the main road to the house.

À la recherche de tranquillité, déconnexion ? Ceci est pour vous.La villa dispose par ailleurs de plusieurs emplacements qui permettent de choisir l'ombre ou le soleil pour siroter son café. Elle offre tout le confort nécessaire. Sa piscine est grande et bien entretenue. Rien à redire.
