Perks for the Parents
This heavenly family villa with a heated pool in the Andalusian countryside, 40 minutes from Malaga and 30 minutes from the nearest beach, includes swings, a playhouse and plenty to make all the family feel at home. With sumptuous, relaxing spaces outside and around the pool along with chic decor inside, it is a relaxing rural retreat. Plenty provided for kids of all ages - pack light! The peaceful mountain location makes short hikes easy from the front door. The nearest village is a 10-minute drive away and has a bakery, small supermarket and pretty village square.
Why Kids Love it
The villa and gardens are a paradise for children of all ages. The lovely bedroom for children with its 2 bunk beds are a big hit; there are also lots of games at the house for different ages, toys for 0-5 years old, and a lovely playhouse especially designed for small children so they can enjoy their own little villa under the sun. There is a horse swing toy hanging in an olive tree, plus pool toys. For babies and toddlers, cribs and accessories, a baby bath, high chairs, changing mat, pal game, baby toys and paddling pool are provided.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 1 week in high season, negotiable in low season. Rates listed on the site are based on 4 occupants during winter months only. There is a €100 pp/per week fee for extra occupants. All other months the price listed is for up to 10 occupants. The pool is heated with solar panels so it's usually warm from Spring to Autumn. Crawling babies and toddlers may need a little extra assistance - the pool is ungated and there are some areas/levels in the outdoor space where they could fall. There is a stair gate to the upper floor where the children’s bedroom and 2 other double bedrooms are located. There is high speed WiFi throughout, including around the pool and a reliable cell phone signal. There is a separate charge for AC usage, please contact the host for further details.
About the Location
The villa is in the countryside of Andalusia 40 minutes from Malaga and Malaga airport. Torre del Mar, 30 minutes away, is the closest beach. Granada is about 80 minutes drive, Sevilla 2.5 hours and Cordoba 2 hours. The property is accessed via a 200m private lane up the mountain - a peaceful location where parents and children can easily walk free on the property and around. There is a big market every Saturday in Velez Malaga; Riogordo is the nearest village about 10 minutes drive from the house with a bakery, little square where you can enjoy a coffee with the locals, plus a little supermarket and a butcher. The villa is close to natural parks for walks and horseback riding. Car rental is essential for this rural area. Parking at the property.

Three of the bedrooms, including the children’s room, plus a bathroom are upstairs and 1 bedroom and bathroom are downstairs. Upstairs there is a roof terrace with a beautiful view over the mountains. Downstairs there is a large living and dining area and a typical Andalusian fully equipped kitchen.

The swimming pool is surrounded by large terraces with sunbeds and bean bags under the umbrellas.
Style Notes
Moroccan-Andalusian with a dash of vintage chic. This unique and beautiful villa includes luxurious touches, comfortable spaces and many private areas where you can retreat to read, practise yoga, nap and play. Every room has its own color with a white color base throughout. The children's bedroom is decorated in baby blue and both inside and out, the owners tried to use as many natural materials as possible, all collected from the region. We love the glamorous pool terraces and covered areas, ideal for lounging and outdoor meals, the stunning dining room open to the views and breeze, and the overall relaxing, spoiling and tempting retreat feel throughout.

Comares, Andalusia
Historic and characterful with an exciting zipline
With views of olive trees and almond groves, there is plenty to recommend Comares, one of Andalusia's famous white villages, in the Malaga Province. Perched on a hilltop as one of the highest-sited villages in the area, Comares' streets are as historic and characterful as the location. Spy donkeys nibbling dandelions in the fields, eat ice cream in the main plaza and try the zipline to the neighboring village - it's the longest zip wire in the country.
