We rented this oasis in the mountains of Malaga, this past June. The amenities were top notch and the villa was so comfortable to stay at. This property use to be a hotel, so all the rooms have the same amenities (i.e. en suite bathroom, plenty of closet space w/hangers, safes in every room, fans, air conditioning, etc.). The property has an amazing view of Casarabonela township, along with a view of other villages. There is plenty of parking space, a nice pool that can cool you down on a hot summer day, a charming courtyard on side of the house and a beautiful covered patio on the other. Most of the rooms have private balconies, that you can sit out on. There is a fantastic gourmet kitchen, laundry room, huge dining room, beautiful living room, foyer, etc. etc. etc. The owner, Frank and his lovely wife, Isabelle, were a god-sent, as they were so accommodating and helpful before and during our stay. The process to book this villa was easy and convenient. Frank can arrange catering and a wonderful band for your stay, if you so choose. I would recommend a few things:
1. Try to get there during daylight, because the roads are not well signed and it's easy to miss the markers.
2. Be okay with driving through hilly roads, some of which is unpaved.
3. Plan to have groceries for your first night there, as the village grocery store, closes early and there really isn't a 2nd option.
The house has free Wi-Fi that is at a fairly good speed. Bring your cameras, because you will want to take a 1000 pictures from the house, the village and the walking trail on the property of the house.
Overall, we had a very memorable trip. We were able to relax and disengage from the hustle and bustle of our every day lives and Frank and Isabelle catered to our needs, whenever we called on them. Andy, their son, was also quite helpful and made all the pre-reservation activities smooth. We are grateful to the Nuevespigas family.
