Fantastic Villa

We have just got back from our say at Casa Alex and what a wonderful few days we had. It was easy to find and just a short drive from Malaga Airport. The photos really don't do the villa justice. It was very clean and tidy with everything you needed for a home away from home. The views from the pool side are surreal. We would definitely recommend this villa and we would most certainly return

Third time and hopefully not the last.

A group of 4 adults, this was our third time staying at Casa Alex. Communication for the booking was great. The villa and views are as amazing as ever, especially as The Lake was as full as we have seen it in a very long time. We ticked The Alhambra (Granada) and a tour of the Malaga Bullring off of our bucket list. Many thanks to Colin for always being there when needed and for being very responsive. We are hoping to be again in 2026.

A stunning villa with amazing views

The villa is very easy to access and has truly stunning views over lake Vinuela and the surrounding mountains. It is a relatively short drive to the restaurant/bars and supermarkets in the area. The villa is very well presented with everything you could possibly need to a fun and relaxing holiday (Pool, Hot tub, Pool heater, BBQ, good WiFi, international TV channels) and has plenty or areas where you can relax outside away from the sun. We will defiantly be returning.

Perfect!

I dont know how highly to praise the villa, the location, the owner, the property managers and the overall experience. Everything was wonderful. Villa had everything necessary and the pool was fantastic. The views over the lake and mountains were spectacular! Just 25 minutes to Torre del mar with all the amenities you could wish for. A car is essential. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and private. The views over the mountains and lake are breathtaking, especially at sunrise. Watching the light come over the mountains in the morning was truly special and set the tone for each day.The outdoor space really stood out. The pool area is spacious and perfect for relaxing, and the hot tub in the evening with a glass of wine was unforgettable. It feels secluded and tranquil, yet still within easy reach of the coast.The house itself was comfortable, clean and well equipped, making it easy to settle in straight away. It’s ideal for families, with plenty of space inside and out.The hosts were exceptional. They were just a phone call away, always responsive, responsible and genuinely caring. The welcome gift of champagne and a box of chocolates was a thoughtful touch that made us feel instantly at home.What stood out most was the atmosphere – calm, scenic and genuinely restorative. We would absolutely return.Thank you

Great Villa

We were a family of 8 that stayed in Amandas beautiful villa for 2 weeks in October 2024 The Villa is great. It is spacious, has nice interior and lovely outside area. It had everything we were looking for. The view from the tresace is magnificent. The heated pool and the hot tub was an absolute joy especially for the kids. The villa is situated in the mountains so the weather is a little cooler which was nice. Only a 20min drive to the coast and shopping centers The local hosts Colin and Karen were great and helped out when needed All in all I cannot reccommend this Villa enough. If we return to this area Amandas Villa will be on the top of our list

Spectacular Views

Chris and Karen met us at the villa and couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a few issues with the electricity but once shown how to reset this all was good. The beds were extremely comfortable and the outside area was a delight with the pool set at a very comfortable heat. You will need a car as there are not any shops within walking distance. The welcome pack was very much appreciated, especially as we arrived on a day when all the shops were shut for a festival!

Fantastic location

The villa is in a wonderful position in the hills above Lake Viñuela. The views of the mountains are unforgettable and the villa is very peaceful and relaxing. Despite being away from it all, it is an easy drive on a good road down to the coast where there all the shopping facilities you could want. The bedrooms are spacious and well-furnished and it is a positive that they are all en-suite. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding high quality. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are three comfortable sofas in the lounge area. Outside, there are different seating areas as well as the hot tub and pool which were both beautifully warm. Colin and Karen were lovely managers, very helpful and responsive.

Lovely villa with amazing views

We were two couples and this was our second time staying at Casa Alex. The villa and view are just as amazing as two years ago - this time with new owners and new management team. There were a few ‘typically Spanish’ glitches but Amanda and Colin were great - good communication and understanding. They were very responsive and, more importantly, kept us informed. The heated pool is very welcome addition for the shorter, cooler October days - as is the brand new hot tub. Thank you for the welcome pack. We hope to be back again in 2025.

Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Man hat sich sofort willkommen gefühlt.Die Villa selbst ist ein echtes Juwel – geschmackvoll eingerichtet, top gepflegt und in einer traumhaften Lage.
