We loved our stay! Especially the garden and the pool are amazing. We loved the view of the pool and all the great plants and flowers. Contact with the host Andres was really great. He responds really quickly. Only thing is that the interior of the house is a bit outdated, the beds could use an upgrade. But overall: loved it!

Stay
We really enjoyed staying here. The garden and the view makes this place very special. The location is also great, if you want to go to Málaga cityrather go to the beach, it’s both not that far when you have a car. There are beautiful hiking trails in the area if you want to spend some time in the mountains. Besides that the host was very friendly and always available to answer any questions. Definitely recommend going here!

Our second stay and we very much enjoyed our stay
Location is great with easy access to the town and the many restaurants. Also close to golf courses and other towns .
Great building but needs some updating . The bathrooms in particular need modernisation and improved heating for the water. Beds also could be improved.

Villa has beautiful pool and surrounding gardens, loads of internal space, but you must hire a car as there is nothing in walking distance and villa is situated at top of a steep hill with an old single lane road with no walking path and everything must be reached by taxicar, the villa could be doing with a few baking trays only a grill pan for use, Andres the property manager is first class and very helpful if you require anything, this is my sixth villa visit and probably best one outside but a little lower down the rating for inside the villa, could be doing with new mattresses and more kitchen essentials, overall still an nice villa to visit

We had a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend Villa Esmeralda.
Andres was such a superb host, he was brilliant at communicating and so proactive. The villa was immaculate and really comfortable. The great sofa area by the pool was fantastic (this is not in the photos at the present time so a great surprise). There is a short drive to the local town which has a lovely selection of restaurants and a couple of supermarkets.

We had a great stay in the villa, which offers the perfect opportunity for relaxation. The garden is beautiful with plenty of shade on the porch. It was also nice that we could play football and badminton. We spent a week with three teenagers and everyone had a great time. Andres was extremely helpful and friendly. Cheers, Christian

Wonderful house with a great outdoor area
The house is a beautiful villa with a magnificent pool area and a large garden. We had a lot of fun at the pool. The house is located in a quiet location. Andres is a great host. He was always there to help and advise us and was a great help. The check in and check out including deposit went smoothly.
