Velez-Malaga Hotel Guide - Centro Budista Karma Guen hotels in Velez-Malaga, Spain.

"We have been to this hotel 4 times before and is just as good this time. My only criticism is that every where is so dark the lighten is bad . "

"Stunning property set up in the hills, very peaceful and relaxing location with beautiful views. Pool and patio area is perfect surrounded by plants and with views down the valley. House is very well equipped and nicely decorated and the dart board and pool table are a big added bonus. Drive to property, as has been mentioned, is via windy mountainous roads but it's only the last quarter of a mile that is on a rough track. Small town is about 5 min drive (walking it would be quite a trek) and is a tradition Spanish town with a few good places to eat. The Tapas bar is especially cheap. Would have given 5 stars for everything but there was a slight issue with our booking/arrival and communication was a bit awkward however everything got sorted eventually and the lady who looks after property locally was lovely and super helpful despite language barriers. We actually only booked this property at quite short notice as our original booked villa had to cancel and we are so glad they did as it was absolutely perfect for us. We will certainly be returning."

"Absolutely stunning villa. The drive up is a little scary the first time and the rental car we had was not very good power wise would definitely recommend an automatic. Pool was lovely although it’s smaller than advertised but we made it work. All living areas are great absolutely can not fault it at all. Doris came to clean the pool during our stay she was lovely. You’re very out of the way though so depends what you like to do. For us it was nice and peaceful and we didn’t mind the drive. Loved the outdoor bbq we cooked on that every time we ate. Bedding and towels were all clean as was the whole villa good range of cooking equipment and utensils we found the only thing it lacked was a decent size chopping board which we bought and left. Also would have been nice if there was some beach items to use such as cool bag and blocks, chairs and a brolley because you don’t want to have to buy your own and leave nor do you want to have to pay for the lounges on the beach so that would be a nice touch. We couldn’t find pegs either so bought some and left them for the next people. Overall a fantastic 2 week stay. W head a power cut one morning rang the agent and got in touch with the property manager. Everyone was very helpful in keeping us informed etc. brilliant service. "

" Una estancia encantadora y relajanteNos encantó nuestra estancia en esta casa. El lugar es muy agradable, con una brisa constante que hacía el ambiente aún más placentero. La casa, sencilla pero muy bonita, está bien distribuida y resulta cómoda en todos los sentidos. Se nota que fue pensada para disfrutar sin complicaciones.El exterior es realmente encantador: la piscina está perfecta para refrescarse y relajarse, la mesa exterior invita a largas comidas al aire libre, la barbacoa funciona de maravilla y el espacio chill out es precioso, ideal para desconectar y disfrutar del entorno.Además, tuvimos la suerte de comprar mangos de su propio cultivo, ¡y estamos deseando que maduren para probarlos! Los dueños fueron muy amables, agradables y atentos en todo momento, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más especial.Sin duda, un lugar al que nos encantaría volver. ¡Gracias por todo!"

"Relaxing atmosphere with mountains vistas of olive and avocado tree groves. Great access for “white towns of Andalusia”….. Viñuela, Antequera, Canillas del Aceituno and Riogordo."

"Waking up to the views at this property was the absolute highlight for me. A well equipped clean property. The property owner Sandra was easy to get hold of and responsive. Was willing to be flexible about check in times. We had a lovely time. You definitely need a car at this property to get around. Lots to see and do but all 30-120 min drive away. Just down the road was a gorgeous restaurant- restaurante Gourmet Italia where we had a lovely meal and lovely atmosphere and service."

"We (Elderly parents + adult daughter) stayed at La Loma for 2 weeks in Sep 2024. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and we had a good time with fantastic weather. Good Points: 1. An attractive villa in a great setting; Stunning views and good walks (mostly on the roads). 2. Good hot water. 3. Traffic on the mountain roads always drove slowly (circa 30 KPH) and were always very friendly. 4. Good walking on the local roads and tracks. Less Good Points 1. NO WiFi !! 2. Swimming Pool looks bigger in the photos that it actually is. In addition NOT child friendly as no shallow end and min depth is approx 1.5m. Also very visable to surrounding area due to its height. 3. No Villa File - General Instructions, Emergency contacts, Supermarkets, Areas of Interest, local recommended restaurants, etc. Check in consisted only of unlocking the doors and photographing passports! No advice on rubbish disposal or recycling rules/requirements. No written Instructions on how to get to the villa; Only a google map 'Pin Drop' Whats App Message. Fortunately our daughter (and now I can) was able to sort this! 4. Furnishings limited - no bedroom chairs; one bedroom with 2 x double beds had no furniture at all apart from the beds; bedsite lights very low powered. Fans noisey. Cutlery limited; No coffee or Tea pots. 5, External/Pool furniture very limited for a villa supposedly accomodating 9 people (in reality 7) and loungers very uncomfortable. Also, the flower pots shown in the photos, are no longer ar"
