About this property
Beautiful location and stunning views. Villa feeling but at apartment prices!
Very spacious and high quality 2 double bedroom/2 bathroom completely independent apartment, recently refurbished master bedroom, located on the entire bottom floor of a large villa with a stunning 1800 square meter garden (ideal playing space for children). The owners live in a separate part of Villa Juana and respect the tenants privacy during their stay (as is confirmed by our reviews). This property is unique as you have the luxury of renting a villa type property at apartment prices! The property also includes a garage, a non-heated swimming pool and barbecue. The apartment, garden, lower balcony, pool and garage (for one car) are not utilised by any other tenants during your stay. The pool is also not utilised by the owners when tenants are at the property. The pool is in use and cleaned from April 1st to October 31st and was retiled in January 2026! Fantastic sea and mountain views. One of the most "rural" areas of the Costa del Sol. The villa is located in an exclusive urbanization with excellent/easy access from the main coast road and is literally a stone's throw from the beach. The property is fully enclosed and safe for children. Very quiet and peaceful area but still only a 10minute drive or easy bus ride to urban centers such as benalmadena costa or fuengirola. The property is located right next to the coast road/beach and is approximately 200m up a steep hill from the n-340.
Is renting a car necessary?: Although a car is recommended for site seeing, it is not required. All the essentials are within a maximum of 15 minutes walk from the villa.
Train station at Torremuelle: 15 minutes good pace yet hilly walk (Malaga to Fuengirola). You need reasonable fitness to complete this walk to the train station but if this is not possible a local taxi ride costs 5-6 euros as of April 2026.
Bus stop: 5 minutes walk (Malaga to Marbella);
Beach: 15 minutes walk;
Supermarket (open 7 days a week): 10 minutes;
Restaurants/bars: 10 minutes;
More information on the local area: The villa is situated in one of the most beautiful, quiet and less urbanized areas of the Costa del Sol. The main street outside the house is a windy and scenic 2km route up to the idyllic Benalmadena Pueblo (local village). If you enjoy walking/hiking, it is a very enjoyable 25-30min walk up to the village. Once in the village, you have panoramic views of the whole area and there are plenty of options for eating, drinking and you can find all the services of a normal town (ie. supermarket, banks, post office). If you walk in the other direction (south), you will find yourself on the beach within 5 minutes. Once on the coast road, you can enjoy a walk either west or east in which you have beach after beach to choose from .
What to do?: When staying at Villa Juana, you can spend your whole time relaxing around your private terrace/balcony/pool and garden. For the more adventurous, there is plenty to see both culturally and nature wise in and around the province of Malaga. If you rent a car, within a one hour drive you can enjoy scenic drives that lead you to beautiful Andalusian mountain village such as Mijas and Ronda. For those who thoroughly enjoy unspoiled/protected beaches, within a 45 minute drive East of Villa Juana are the wonderful beaches of Nerja. For those who are into sporting activities, it is very easy to go hiking around the area as it is surrounding by local mountain and hiking paths. Culturally, an easy/cheap train ride to Malaga centre has a lot to offer: from Moorish ruins, a Roman amphitheatre, a wonderful cathedral, the museum of Picasso. We will always be happy to help our guests in any way for information about the local area, beaches, restaurants. Please email or phone us for any information you might require. Discounts may be discussed for long term tenancy.

Our second stay here. We love the peace and tranquility. A beautiful setting overlooking the Med. The apartment has everything you need. Sonia and Tasir are so friendly and so helpful. We will be back. Exactly what was needed after a busy stressful period at work. The perfect place to unwind, chill and recharge.
The apartment is very spacious and clean with the best equipped kitchen we have ever had at a VRBO rental. The hosts, Taysir and Sonia, were there to help when we needed. We stayed at the property for 3 weeks and it was ideal as home base to explore Andalusia - and with beautiful sunrises over the Mediterranean
Lovely property. You stay downstairs in the villa (about 10 stairs down) Large and roomy. Would reommend a fan for the dining area. Beautiful views from the pool. Beds comfortable. Short distance to beach but you need a car. Would definitely return. Hosts most accommodating
Location is closely located to beach with 10-15 minute walk down the hill however larger beaches with bars / restaurants were bit further away. If you have a car driving up the hill to Benalmádena Pueblo will provide a good selection of restaurants with scenic surroundings.
Bedrooms, lounge & bathrooms are good size however kitchen is quite small but has hob, fridge freezer, microwave & washing machine.
Parking is available off road for one vehicle.
Hosts were very friendly providing full uninterrupted access to pool & grounds.
Property would benefit from a decorative refresh.
PositivesCommunication with Sonia was good through WhatsApp – quick and helpful replies throughout our stay. Sonia even made us a lovely cake.The apartment was well stocked with washing-up liquid, hand soap, and toilet rolls.The kitchen had everything we needed – plenty of crockery, utensils, Comfortable beds had a good night’s sleep.Beautiful views from the poolside – a real highlight of the property.Downsides Towels were limited; we had to wash them daily. There are no separate towels for pool use, and you’re not allowed to take the apartment towels outside. Ants in the kitchen meant we had to be careful not to leave food out.The biggest disappointment was the pool. When we asked Taysir about cleaning and filtering, we were told the filters were on a timer. leaves were in the pool from previous storm, and while we were happy to scoop these out, the real issue was the water quality. It wasn’t clear, and the pool didn’t feel clean. On the third day, the filters were left on overnight with added chemicals, and the improvement was huge – but sadly, it was only temporary. Most of the time, the pool water was not crystal clear. We wouldn’t have let children swim for fear of swallowing the water.The outside shower by the pool didn’t work, which added to the frustration. Also, the electric wire comes from inside the pool and lying on top of the poolside. If the maitance of the pool was addressed daily then this would be a good place to stay.

Lovely villa peaceful location - car advised
The villa was lovely and spacious, if a little dated inside, and the pool area and views were amazing. Sonia was lovely and let us check in early as we had an early flight, she even took us to the Mercadona for our first shop.
The villa had everything we needed (apart from extra pillows for beds) but could have benefitted from a little folder including instructions for using air con etc and rules of the house - we had been up from 2am so was hard to take in verbal instructions.
Villa is situation up a VERY steep hill from the coast which limited our movement while we were there as I couldn't manage the walk up and we relied a lot on taxis after a night out.
Also, as the listing states there is a bus stop down the hill (5/10mins) but this goes to Fuengerola. If you want to go to Benalmadena or Torremolinos as we did it's a 20/25mins walk to the bus stop, part of it up hill.
There is a supermarket 10/15mins walk away but is quite expensive. The Mercadona is a 25/30min walk away.
We were told to have a shower before going in the pool but this stopped working 3 days into the holiday. Also, the water temperature esp in the showers was very tempremetal. The villa does have WiFi but we found this very hit and miss esp in the bedrooms. The male owner was also outside a lot which made us feel a little uncomfortable.
The villa is gorgeous and the location is beautiful and we made use of the pool a lot but a car would definitely be advised as the hill is VERY steep esp with bags
The apartment was lovely. Pervious reviews comment that its a bit tired ,maybe it is a little but honestly it just adds to its charm. We loved it and enjoyed our stay. Much appreciation to Tareq whilst on holiday with his family took us to the supermarket in the most horrendous storm. Sonia was also a superstar xx
A lovely welcome from the hosts after a troubled journey. They were both very helpful in helping us resolve a car hire issue. Quiet area with fantastic views and lots of space for a family of 4. Would absolutely recommend this for a relaxing stay.
I went with my wife and little daughter here and enjoyed every second of it. You have a view to make your eyes water. The Family running this Villa is super sweet, helpful and respectful. I can’t recommend this enough. Worth every dime. I will definitely come back.
This villa is exactly as the photos show. The decor and furniture is a little dated, but the setting is beautiful, steep hills and bendy roads, worth it for the view. Fabulous pool and lovely top garden. Hosts very quiet and helpful. Would visit again.

Wonderful stay at this villa
Just got home from a weeks stay ,Arrived late Saturday evening and Sonia the owner kindly drove my husband to the supermarket for supplys ,Thank you Sonia .The villa was spotlessly clean and the garden and pool were amazing .we did not hire a car and caught the buses into town but next time i would hire a car to get around .I would recommend this villa it was safe ,clean and peaceful and i only wished we had stayed longer,thanks for a lovely stay
Lovely villa, owned by a lovely couple who were very helpful and give you lots of privacy. Bathroom showers were a bit temperamental but we managed to get in and out in record quick time. Villa very quite a steep hill but not a problem to us and the shops/restaurants were nearby. Would definitely recommend. Unfortunately the weather was not the best but nice to get away for the first time in 2 years!
We had a great week staying at this lovely villa. Very peaceful location. The place had everything we needed. The pool was used often especially by my 5 year old daughter. Beach and restaurants a short walk down the hill and then a quick taxi ride to get back up to the Villa cost about €5 from the small supermarket. We took the M-120 bus into Fuengirola and back a couple of times, bus stop at the bottom on the hill. The hosts were absolutely amazing, very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely villa with fantastic views
The Villa is very spacious and has fantastic views over the sea & coast. The swimming pool is great & is a good size. A good 30 minute walk uphill takes you to the lovely Spanish white washed village of Benalmadena Peublo.
The villa was very private and the owners were there if you needed them & respected our privacy.
We would most definitely stay there again.
Thank you. Janet, Paul & Beth

Lovely apartment, lovely location
We stayed in this apartment for one week. It was very comfortable for two couples to stay in this apartment, with plenty of room and plenty of privacy for each couple. It was as nice in "real life" as it is in the pictures. The pool was especially nice after a day of sightseeing. We did not rent a car, and were able to get around well by walking, using the local public bus, and using a near-by train station. It is a peaceful location, away from the hustle-and-bustle of the area. The owners who live on the premises were hospitable and helpful, but very respectful of our privacy. I would highly recommend this rental property!
The villa has everything you need, supermarkets such as Mercadona, are just 5 minutes drive from the house. The garden and pool are simply amazing and Sonia and Taysir gives you total privacy to enjoy them but knowing they are always available in case you need something.
It takes you 5 minutes to drive to Fuengirola beach,a nice beach with all the facilities, restaurants, chiringuitos and shops. You can also drive to Benalmádena beach in just 12 minutes. Also, you can enjoy summer nights at one of the night clubs in just 10 minutes walking.
Thank you so much Taysir and Sonia for being such a lovely hosts. We hope we can come back next year! Love from Sonia, Danny and Scott.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything we needed it was also lovely and cool as we remembered to lower the shutters during the day. Sonia and Tasir were lovely people and so helpful. You wouldn't know they were there (we would actually have like to spend a little time with them) they are so helpful, Tasir even offered to take us to the supermarket but we had already gotten a taxi the day before. The pool and garden area is beautiful. The villa is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood and the views are lovely. We were on a very delayed honeymoon and it was without a doubt the best holiday we've had. A big thank you again to Tareq, Sonia and Tasir for letting us stay at their beautiful villa. We will be saving to get back someday. It's 5 stars from us.

Great view set in beautiful gardens
The outside areas, gardens, pool and view are stunning. You stay in the lower half of the house. The photos do not show how big the sitting room and particularly the main bedroom is. The main sitting room has patio doors onto a small balcony. The area outside the main door has a table & chairs and umbrella and again is bigger than how it looks in photos. It is very clean inside and out. Turn right up the hill and a 2 minute drive takes you to the Colomares Castle which tells the story of Christopher Columbus through the architecture of the castle. Turn right up the hill and a 5 minute drive takes you to Benalmadena old town which has a great authentic atmosphere. In the old town is El Parador, which is a traditional Spanish restaurant with great food and very reasonable. The house is in a great situation but you do need a car. We visited the Benalmadena cable car. Don't miss the Falconery show there. We visited Aqualand, not quite Disney but okay. Very clean, food very expensive and not very good. It is about a 15 minute walk to Torremuelle train station (behind the British School). This line runs from Fuengirola to Malaga town. We moved around and used the train as well as the car. The train also goes directly into Malaga airport. It is easy to use and a great way of seeing other places. We visited Fuengirola, Torreblanca, Benalmadena town (which is different from the old town) and Malaga town from the train. There's a lot to see if you get out and about.
Asunto oli tilava. Lähes kaikki tarpeellinen oli käytettävissä. Astianpesukonetta kaipasi.Netti toimi hyvin ja oli riittävän nopea.Saimme mm. nauttia viikunapuun antimista.Pihalta oli upeat näkymät merelle ja koko rannikkoon.Asunto oli erittäin rauhallinen eikä mitään häiritseviä tekijöitä ollut.Majoittajan vanhemmat, jotka asuivat yläkerrassa olivat todella viehättävä pariskunta. Altaan puhdistusjärjestelmässä oli juuri meidän viikolla ongelmia, ja sen käyttö oli rajallista, valitettavasti. Ongelma saatiin korjattua vasta toiseksi viimeisenä majoituspäivänä. Saimme kuitenkin hyvitystä majoitusmaksuun sitä edes pyytämättä. Tuota arvostan todella paljon.Ja onneksi meri oli vielä miellyttävän lämmin ja sinne oli helppo päästä, koska kohde sijaitsee niin lähellä hyviä rantoja.Vuokra-autollemme oli hyvä pysäköinti kohteessa ja ei tarvinnut koskaan etsiä sille pysäköintipaikkaa.

We hadden echt een fijne ervaring in de Villa. We hebben heerlijk kunnen genieten en de verhuurders waren super vriendelijke mensen. Het was het echt waard en we komen zeker weer een keer langs! Alles was top!
Todo excelente. Ubicación, limpieza, trato con los propietariosSi tuviera que quitar algún punto, sería la falta de un lavavajillas, que no es muy importante, pero no me gusta fregar cuando estoy de vacaciones, las luces de la piscina, que no podíamos encender por la noche y a mis hijas les hubiera gustado.., y un poco más importante sería que no hemos disfrutado de la intimidad total que yo demandaba.En general 8.5 sobre 10. Medio punto por lavavajillas y luces piscina 1 punto por el tema de la intimidad.Hemos estado muy agusto y nos lo hemos pasado genial. Gracias a los propietarios y a Vrbo.
Die Lage ist traumhaft, eigener Pool, die Größe der Wohnung, die Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber sowie der Meerblick überzeugen. Die Wohnung muss regelmäßig gelüftet werden, da es ansonsten bisweilen etwas muffig riecht.
L'appartement est en contrebas de la piscine, il est spacieux et bien équipé. Les indications pour l'arrivée étaient claires. Une voiture est vivement recommandée pour les déplacements.Nous avons passé un agréable sejour.
