Had a great stay, the villa had everything we needed for a long week. Easy check in and out. Communication with Adrian was fantastic before arrival so we were well prepared for our stay.
15-20 mins from the beach and bigger shops. Just what we needed for a relaxed stay

This was my kind of paradise.. it’s so peaceful. You have everything you need at the villa but look in the cupboards before going shopping as lots of the essentials are there and more. It was just like being at home from needle and threads books to everything you would have at home in the kitchen.
The outside wet room is amazing never used the house one although my husband did it was like having his and her bathrooms.
What can I say about the outside but WOW.. the outside and views are beautiful and having a breeze was good . There was a patio around the side with lots of history from ovens to a big stone table perfect for entertaining especially on a hot summers eve.
I’m definitely going back and taking my daughter and partner so they can share this secret paradise.

Very comfortable property and very well equipped. This the owners own holiday home so you can see its very well looked after with everything you need. Although in a rural setting access to the motorway on the coast was quick so great for exploring. Both bedrooms are excellent size so two couples would find the set up great. Highlights for us were the fish restaurants, trip to the Picasso museum (book on line ahead to avoid queuing) and for my wife and daughter the clothes shops!
Alice
What an absolute dream of a house! The surroundings are just unreal. Although the house is tucked away in the mountain (which we absolutely loved!) you don’t feel at all isolated. Iznate just down the road, where you’ll find a couple of shops and bars. Such lovely people as well. The pool was amazing, which is where we spent most of our time. House was fully equipped, and Julian the host was amazing. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.
Thanks again Julian!

Great rural Finca set in the mountains with fantastic views across the countryside to the sea below. We always like to holiday partially isolated for privacy and tranquility. The peace was only broken occasionaly by the neighbour's dog which is common place in Spain. The property is traditionaly Spanish with the usual quirks. The kitchen has loads of utensils, pan, glasses, mugs etc and the hob and cooker made it easy to cater. Didn't bother with the barbecue but there is a choice of two to use. Showers worked perfectly always loads of hot water, and most importantly, the beds were comfortable. We had a small problem with the wifi which was sorted out within 24 hrs, and we had the choice of Netflix, Prime and loads of Brit tv, but didn't watch much. The pool was a very welcoming 28 degrees most days, ideal for cooling off after sun bathing on one of the many available areas. The final approach road is dusty and a bit of a rough steep ride, but it is really worth the trip. The huge Eroski shopping centre is only a 20 minute drive away, then 15 / 20 minutes further on is the choice of Torrox Costa or Torre del Mar etc. Restaurant Magon in Torrox Costa is a must. The lovely Iznate town is only 10 / 15 mins up the road and is also well worth a visit. We ate at The bar Andalucia at the bottom of the town, it was great food and cheap drinks. All together a great holiday experience, excellent communication and support from the owner, a lovely Finca with a nice pool. We definately recommend this place for a holiday. Thank you Julian for your help.

We stayed for a week in June, the Casa is superbly equipped truly short of nothing. Ideally located for exploring the area, a car definitely needed.
Communication with the owner prompt and efficient a true reflection of the villa with a explanation for every aspect.

Private Owner From Ipswich, United Kingdom Member since Aug 2009
The villa is our family holiday home since buying the property in 2001. We then spent 10 years improving it to the standard we would expect, having the pool built etc. but it is not run as a business, just to help us defray some of our costs. The basic rule is there are no rules, just chill out and relax. Hope you enjoy the place as much as we do. We live near Ipswich in the UK, so you will have total access to the entire property. Our nearest neighbours are local Spanish farmers. Lara our local manager, who is fluent in Spanish and English having moved to Iznate aged 11 is always available should you have any issues.
