About this property

Spanish Villa with Heated Saltwater Pool, Sea Views & Charming Spanish Patio

  • Welcome to Villa la Gitanilla – your Mediterranean escape in Benalmádena.
    This charming Spanish villa combines Mediterranean Sea views, spacious living and exceptional outdoor areas. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the villa sleeps 12 guests comfortably, with additional sleeping arrangements for 2 more guests, plus 2 baby cots.
    Several bedrooms enjoy beautiful sea views, and selected bedrooms have private en-suite bathrooms, giving families and groups both comfort and privacy. Four bedrooms have king-size beds, one has a queen-size bed and one has two single beds.
    At the heart of the villa is the large, fully equipped kitchen, designed for cooking and dining together. With generous preparation space and everything needed to cater for a large group, it is ideal for everything from relaxed breakfasts to preparing dinner for family and friends.
    New for 2027: A number of improvements are being introduced, including a heated private saltwater pool, extending the swimming season into the cooler months.
    Outdoor living is one of the highlights of Villa la Gitanilla. Enjoy the pool, Mediterranean garden and sea views, or relax on the large covered Spanish patio with lounge seating and dining for up to 12 guests. Naturally shaded during the day, it is perfect for long lunches, a siesta and relaxed evenings.
    Another guest favourite is the dedicated outdoor bar & BBQ area, surrounded by bougainvillea and Mediterranean plants – a wonderful gathering place for drinks, cooking and long evenings together.
    The beach, restaurants and supermarkets are all nearby, and free private parking is available.
    Car rental: We recommend Helle Hollis, a reliable and convenient option from Málaga Airport. Book at hellehollis.com and use discount code H13334 to receive 15% off.
    Villa la Gitanilla is made for sharing Mediterranean life with family and friends – with space to be together and space to relax.

Girls trip

We loved everything. The house was amazing. The neighborhood was amazing. The pool was so beautiful with the ocean in the background. There is also a beautiful mountain view. We loved that the location was not too far from the airport. It’s easy to walk into town or drive to nearby cities.

Fantastic Villa

Fantastic villa, everything to hand, fabulous views. We were 7 adults and 6 children ranging from a 1year old to a 10 year old. Plenty of room for everyone. Undercover area was great enabling us all to gather and eat together. Lovely pool enjoyed by everyone. Will definitely look to return in the future.

Family Holiday

We were a family of 11, from a 3 year old to grandparents. The Villa was everything we hoped it would be, absolutely perfect and very well maintained. The salt water pool was brilliant and the kids in particular loved it. Emily was extremely helpful and was very quick to react to any requests we had I would definitely recommend this Villa and Emily to anyone interested.

Wonderful House

We were a family group of 10 including a baby and a 4 yo. The house is just as in the pictures, spacious with lots of comfortable seating in different areas and a lovely, although unheated, pool. There is a huge, well equipped kitchen and excellent built in BBQ at the back. All bedrooms had large comfortable beds and 4 en-suites were a bonus. We hardly left the property except for grocery shopping and very much enjoyed the quiet surroundings. Our only niggle was lack of sunshades near the pool which meant baby and mother were unable to join the group. Highly recommend to other large groups.

Big birthday celebration!

We stayed here on the 3/6/23 for one week The property was as fantastic as the description the bedrooms are all a good size and the kitchen is very modern and well equipped The outside seating/dining area is brilliant. We had one very rainy day and we had great day eating , drinking and playing cards The pool is lovely a great place for sunbathing and cooling off The villa is in a lovely location but just a warning for anyone who struggles walking ( like my wife ) it is on a steep hill which I knew before going but we made use of Uber to get to places which works fantastically well and then taxi back from the seafront or marina Overall a fantastic holiday and villa !!!

Birthday Celebration

Villa Gitanilla was a beautiful property in a quiet neighbourhood. The villa was well equipped and just as pictured on the inside,very clean. Outside areas were great with a beautiful pool area for us all. Emily arranged taxi for us to and from the property from the airport and was there to greet us. We arrived early and were able to change and leave our luggage in the garage before we returned for the 4 o'clock checkin. Restaurants and supermarket under a 10 minute walk, although we did struggle with the hill on the way back. Supermarket great choice and taxis were cheap. We would definitely stay at Villa Gitanilla again if we were to return to Benalmadina. Thank you Alison and family of 6.

The villa was even better than the photos suggested. The kitchen was very well equipped too. First time we had a salt water pool - so gentle on the eyes and skin. Lots of sunbeds Probably the best Villa we have rented for our family of 13.

The villa is amazing. We were a family of 13 mixed generations and when we got to the villa we were blown away. Everything from booking to meeting us at the villa was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble we even looked at booking for next year but unfortunately our dates weren’t available. But we would definitely come back. We loved everything about it xx

Great villa with excellent amenities.Would highly recommend for large families or friends wanting a group getaway.Only issue for us was the road resurfacing which impacted our use of the villa over a couple of days with lots of noise and dust. The owners were quick to send out the pool cleaners again the following day which was greatly appreciated.

One week with family May 6-13

We were 10 adult’s ranging from 24-54 years old. We stayed for 1 week at La Gitanilla. The space was perfect for us. It was nice to prepare our own meals and eat in a few evenings. Emily was wonderful to work with and answered many, many of my questions very quickly. We really enjoyed using the pool and sitting out back in the evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay, good location and lovely villa

We were family of 12 in total, 8 adults and 4 children. Different ages 65 thru to 7 yrs. We went to celebrate my husbands 40th. Villa is massive and plenty of space for all. The bbq area and bar space is really great for the evenings. We all loved the pool and playing basketball / table tennis. We had great weather so even though the pool is cold we were still able to use it. There were a few niggly issues on arrival as not all the beds were made up but this was sorted quickly. The little apartment was absolutely fine and is great for someone wishing to have own privacy. Takes about 10-15 mins to beach downhill. We walked it and usually got a cab back, same with the supermarket. Wonderful stay , thanks Hans for info prior to arrival. Hope to return!
