Spectacular, 6 bedroom villa with large private pool in Nature Reserve area

The villa at Alcaucin: set in the rolling landscape of the Andalucian hills, within easy reach of the sparkling city of Malaga and the beaches of the Costa del Sol, the villa at Alcaucin is the perfect base for your holiday. Email us for enquires and our website. Whether you want to take your extended family for a bit of fun in the sun or need a spell of rest and recuperation, the villa has a wonderful swimming pool (one of the largest in the area) surrounded by tile and stone, Spanish style, and set in beautifully landscaped gardens. The large, relaxing living room is equipped with a wide screen TV, DVD player and satellite, there’s a well equipped kitchen and dining room if you fancy cooking - with a BBQ located near the kitchen, and with 5 ensuite bedrooms and one additional bedroom not en suite, there’s plenty of room to spread out. So, is it a glass of wine by the pool, or a night out sampling local restaurants and bars. We are now more eco friendly with solar panels providing ample hot water.

Celebrity approval: The villa has been built with a great deal of love and care. Every detail has been designed from scratch and the early photographs show a bare plot of land where we literally built from the ground up-wards.

We hope you'll respect that the villa is a no smoking premises. The pool is the largest private pool in the area and has been designed for exercise swimming as well as recreation. Many celebrity's and professional people have already stayed in the villa and the villa is known locally as 'Villa Grande' - 'The Grand Villa'. There is great privacy!

Amenities: The largest indoor shopping Mall in Southern Spain is only 15 minutes drive away. So, as well as great local shopping, guests can avail themselves of great designer shopping. The mall has one of the largest supermarkets(amazing fish counter) in the area.
The nearest beaches are only 20 minutes drive away. The nearest aqua park is close to the shopping mall. A terrific 18 hole golf course is 20 minutes drive away.

Close by: A drive through the mountains is well worth while and within 90 minutes you can find yourself in the historic and sparkling city of Granada. A further 20 minutes drive and you have the fantastic Ski resort of Sierra Nevada. Many locals make the trip up there for some great 'sunshine' skiing.

Family Holiday
The property was large and accommodated us all easily. The location is perfect with amazing views from all around the property. The swimming pool is large and the terrace big enough to have lots of sunbeds and space. We loved eating on the terrace in the evening watching the sun go down over the mountain and the lights come on in all of the little villages. Check in was easy and the owners were always available via email. We had a wonderful family holiday with 3 generations of our family joining together

Fantastic gataway
Wonderful hosts, had a fantastic week here with friends. The villa is in walking distance of shops. Note that bigger supermarkets are a bit of a drive away (nearer to Malaga) so it might be worth stopping off on your way to the villa if you're coming in from Malaga.

It is a wonderful villa in a spectacular place.
It was such an exciting arrival ! The directions good, the views breathtaking. The layout of garden and pool really beautiful, so marvellous to find loquat and lemons hanging ripe on the trees( and, I think carob? ) . There were 9 of us ranging from 7 to 72. The apportioning of rooms worked out fine. It was great to be able to walk (steep tho it was) into the village and eat out or explore. People were friendly and helpful. Mosquitoes not out in full force and the air felt good , as did the sunshine! We had a couple of trips out ,one to the astonishing Alhambra and also to the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it, many thanks.

Beautiful spot
Not an area of Spain that we'd been to before, and a bit of a hidden gem. Alcaucin is a small and picturesque hilltop village with a decent selection of bars and restaurants. Perfect for a wander in the evening for a bite to eat etc. The villa is set slightly down the hill from the village, meaning a bit of a steepish 10/15 min walk up to the village, but with the resultant benefit of a downhill return home in the evening. There is a small car park at the end of the village for those not wanting to walk. The villa itself and its setting are superb, a great vista from the patio of the surrounding hills and the valley. Olive who takes care of the villa was very friendly and welcoming, and is a mine of information regarding the village and local area. The accommodation is spacious and well finished. We were a party of 11 (6 adults & 5 children), and at no time felt like we were on top of each other.. The pool is large, and was a welcome relief when the temperature started soaring in the early afternoon. All bedrooms had A/C which was a blessing on a couple of very warm nights. There are plenty of poolside sun beds and tables and chairs dotted about the patio area. The shaded wooden veranda beside the pool was a lovely spot to laze and soak in the views. The outdoor BBQ worked well and is conveniently located close to the kitchen. All in all a marvellous location and a great holiday retreat. Many thanks to Catherine and Graeme for a friendly, very efficient rental booking. Would highly recommend.
