About this property
La Peruela. A Spacious 4 Bed Rural Villa with private pool and stunning views
Welcome to our holiday home La Peruela. So called as it is right on the border of the Periana and Vinuela provinces. Positioned on a rocky promontory it is the last house on a no-through track and has fabulous 300 degree views of fields, olive groves, valleys, lakes and the Sierra Nevaha mountains beyond. This really is a very special place and ideal for those who want to get away from the standard without stepping right off the edge. Surrounded by rocks and trees it’s a mecca for birds and there’s nothing like sitting on the roof terrace in the evening watching hundreds of birds swooping around you. With over 300 degrees of uninterrupted views you get the feeling of being in the sticks while still having the security of several neighbours close to you and being only 20mins from the beach and 40 mins from Malaga Airport.
This is our second home and is fully decked out with everything you need. Not some stripped-down rental property with only 8 knives and forks in the draw. This means it's a home-from-home for guests and we have several who return year after year as it's like them owning a holiday home without all the investment and admin. Please respect it if you want to stay and have a wonderful break from the world.
La Peruela is perfect for the following: 2 x Families of 4 to share a villa 1 x Large Family with or without help People who want to chill out , enjoy nature and relax Walkers,mountain bikers, bird watchers and photographers Yoga Retreats
It is not perfect for: Party People People who want everything on the doorstep People who don't have their own transport / hire car
Features
4 Double Bedrooms. Each floor has it’s own Master with Ensuite and kingsize bed and a second twin bedroom, ideal for children or another couple if you put the beds together
3 Bathrooms 2 Ensuite and one family bathroom with bath.
Large first floor Dining Room With a solid wood table for 8 and a terrace to the front and back
Modern Kitchen Also on the first floor with Gas Hob, Fan assisted oven and grill, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave with combi oven, double sink and marble work tops.
Very large ground-floor living room With horseshoe sofa seating for at least 10 people around a large smart television and wood-burning stove. The other end of the room can be left open or you can unfold a full-size table tennis table or 6ft pool / snooker table for hours of entertainment. There is also an air hockey table that plugs in. `
Private Pool Area With a 7.5m by 4.5m metal sided above ground pool which is great for a cooling dip and even a bit of a swim. Being 1.3 metres deep it’s also more child friendly than normal sunken pools as it’s very hard for a young child to climb in, especially if you remove the ladder. The end of the pool looks over the fields towards the mountains and it’s a wonderful place to relax.
4 x terraces Large roof terrace with 360 degree views, perfect for a sundowner and a wonderful place to do yoga or just soak up the sun and the stars at night.
Extremely Large (16m +) Rear Roof Terrace which makes a great safe play area for children to play close to the house and an alternative shady place to dine under the pagoda should you not fancy the front Breakfast Terrace.
Dining Room Breakfast Terrace Straight off the dining room and next to the kitchen this south facing terrace has panoramic views of the valley and lake.
Master Bedroom Terrace Overlooking the pool it gets the morning sun and is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee.
2 x Porches / Verandas One off the ground floorLiving Room with a Hammock and the other poolside off the Downstairs Master Bed.

Really good stay with lots of thoughtful touches left by Tobyn. Tobyn was super helpful with questions and directions and house were just as expected.
Thanks for the stay.
The villa is well equipped for a family holiday. With no air con it was hot & humid the majority of the time but it was August so that was expected and the beautiful private pool helped to cool us down.
A fantastic house, in a place with beautiful views. Spacious, and with many toys and activities to do inside the house, and of course a huge pool that everyone will love. Many terraces with sun and shade at different times of the day, to be able to have breakfast, lunch and dinner on them. We will be back.

We are so glad you loved your stay and look forward to you coming back!!
Stay safe.
It is a beautiful villa with stunning views from the roof terrace. There was a very well stocked kitchen with all the items you could want. There were enough large pans/plates/cutlery that we could easily cater for a party of 8. The rooms were large enough that we never felt on top of each other.The pool is very clean and well maintained. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The host always replied promptly to any queries we had
The house has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped. Is comfortable and lots of games to play and don’t get bored. Perfect for families with small and big kids. Tobyn is very kind and has ready a complete guide of how everything works and what you can find in the surroundings, very helpful guide.
Pete taking care of the pool and maintenance of the house also very kind and helpful.

Hello. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come again someday. Cheers Tobyn
The villa is great, theres enough balconies/terraces that you could choose to remain in the sun/shade all day. The pool was great to cool down in. The only issue is we searched for villas with Air Conditioning and this villa came up on the search even though its doesn't have air conditioning.
cooling down in. The only issue was we seat
Perfect location for peaceful break. Stunning views and well appointed Villa. All the family particularly enjoyed the Table Tennis & Pool table in the evenings as break form the swimming pool. Everything was provided including euro plug adaptors etc enabling us to travel light. Sitting on the rooftop terrace with a glass of wine enjoying the 360 panoramic was magical. Great base for travelling to local scenic spots, beeches, villages and Malaga which has a vibrant shopping centre. The owners provided a very helpful guide to local amenities. We can also highly recommend the following: Kayaking in Playa Burriana near Nerja (45 min drive). Excellent classy beachside refreshment & excellent cuisine at Rincon Del Sol. Hotel Vinuela (10 min drive), is a lovely setting for a special treat.

Es war ein toller,toller Urlaub. Mit guter Unterstützung vor Ort und per Mail. Die Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. An manchen Stellen etwas viel und etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aber uns mangelte an nichts und der Vermieter ist super nett!!
Nous avons passé 3 belles semaines dans cette maison! Cuisine bien équipée, barbecue au top, grande piscine, la maison est propre, lit confortable, de beau espace de vie. Super belle vue sur le lac et entourée des montagnes.Bien suivre les indications de l’hôte (dans le livret de la maison) pour arriver jusqu’à la maison, ces indications sont très précises et indispensables pour y arriver. A 20 25 mins de la plage de Torre del Marre. Hôte réactif en cas de besoin. Nous recommandons !!!

Hello Myriam.
So glad you had a wonderful time at our house and thanks for the glowing review!
Here it is in English for future guests to see.
We spent 3 wonderful weeks in this house! Well-equipped kitchen, great barbecue, large pool, the house is clean, comfortable bed, beautiful living space. Super beautiful view of the lake and surrounded by mountains. Follow the host's instructions (in the house booklet) carefully to get to the house, these instructions are very precise and essential to get there. 20-25 minutes from Torre del Marre beach. Responsive host when needed. We recommend!!!
Casa en medio de la montaña, acceso a traves de camino de tierra bien habilitado... si lo que quieres es tranquilidad en medio de la naturaleza, con vistas increibles a la montaña, olivares y un embalse, esta es tu casa. En media hora estas en la playa o en los pueblos blancos de la costa o de la montaña, de modo que tienes lo mejor de los dos mundos.
La casa esta bien cuidada, tal y como se describe, ademas con entretenimiento de sobra como para no querer salir de ahi!! Tanto nos gusta que es el 4to verano que nos hospedamos aquí! Tobyn es un excelente anfitrion, no me queda mas que agradecer su amabilidad y buena disposicion!
Hasta la pr óxima!!

Hello Karen
Thanks again for your glowing review and we love the fact you have picked our home in the hills as your annual get away. Hope to see you again next year!

Die Finca ist, bis auf Klimaanlagen, voll ausgestattet. In den Schlafzimmern befinden sich jedoch Ventilatoren. Teilweise ist das Mobiliar in die Jahre gekommen, allerdings hält man sich sowieso eher auf einer der vielen Terrassen auf. Besonders die Dachterrasse bietet einen grandiosen Ausblick. Der Pool ist groß und gepflegt, allerdings ist die Poolleiter etwas wackelig. Wir haben am Strand von Nerja zwei neue Sonnenschirme gekauft und diese im Haus gelassen. Die nächsten Gäste können nun zwei Schirme mit an den Strand nehmen. Sie stehen am oberen Eingang hinter der Eingangstür. Insgesamt ein super Preis- Leistungsverhältnis und wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen.
Agréablement surpris par l'endroit qui est juste magnifique. La maison offre tout le confort afin de passer un bon séjour. Le seul point négatif est la climatisation qui est plus appréciable par des températures souvent élevées en été. l'hôte a répondu à toutes nos questions et a été d'une clarté efficace.
Je pense revenir dans cette propriété pour mes vacances de printemps, ce fut une belle expérience.
Merci Tobyn

Hello Aymane and thanks for your glowing review. I take on board your comment about air conditioning but we decided against it as the house is at the end of the line and doesn't get enough electricity to run it. We've always found it ok with all the windows open and the fans running at night. We do hope you consider coming back for your spring break as the heat will not be the same as mid-summer. Cheers Tobyn
Nous avons séjourné 2 semaines dans la propriété de Tobyn à la Vinuela. Nous recherchions une maison calme et nous permettant de loger 4 adultes et 2 enfants.
Cette maison était parfaite pour nos besoins. La piscine, une obligation sous le soleil estival, nous a bien rendu service! La maison est bien organisée et très propre. L'équipement laissé par le propriétaire permet d'occuper jeunes et moins jeunes pour tous types de temps.
Enfin, elle est très bien située, près des grandes villes et idéale pour des expéditions partout en Andalousie.
Nous recommandons chaudement!!
Merci encore!

Nos ha gustado mucho, casa cómoda y muy familiar. Dispone de todo tipo de entretenimiento. Cerca de playas, paisaje muy bonito. Piscina mejorable, principalmente el acceso por la escalera que está roto. Algunas bicicletas tienen las ruedas pinchadas. De resto todo bien.

Hello and thanks for staying. I'm aware of the problems with the pool and am sorting that out over the winter (when I can actually get there after nearly 2 years...)
The bikes were not part of the rental and just something I offered on top as they are there for my family. Sorry they had flat tyres but again 2 years of not being there has a lot to do with it..)
Thanks for the positive review and hope you stay again.
Cheers
Tobyn
Nous avons bien été accueillit dans la villa
Tobyn a respecter notre intimités tout était impeccable
Si je devrais dire un petit point cest que la piscine nest pas adapter au personnes âgées car les escaliers ne sont pas très stables . Sinon tout était top
Casa en zona rural, en la que encontraras todo lo que describe el anuncio y mucho más! Mesa de ping-pong, hockey, mini pool, juguetes para niños, TV por cable, peliculas, consola de videojuegos y videojuegos, piscina, vistas increíbles, posibilidad de bicicletas, patinetes, hasta un pequeño telescopio! Tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar, está muy bien equipada. En verano hace mucho calor en la zona, en la casa hay ventiladores y corre la brisa pero hubo momentos en que solo en la piscina estábamos a gusto (muy a gusto ;) ). El acceso es por un camino de tierra, realmente es imprescindible tener un coche para llegar y para moverse por la zona, que tiene muchas cosas chulas para hacer. La comunicación siempre apropiada (en inglés). Recomendable 100%, volvería sin duda!
Si lo que se esta buscando es tranquilidad es un sitio ideal. La casa ofrece todas las comodidades para un par de familias con niños. Unas vistas maravillosas al pantano.

Hello and so glad you loved your time at our house. I'm assuming you liked the views of the lake but for some reason Google Translate says you liked the views of the "swamp"? Hope you come again.
We really enjoyed the villa, it's in a great rural location with stunning views. It was well equipped with lots of nice outdoor seating and great for children with lots of toys etc. David the key holder was very helpful too. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fantastic location, well appointed villa. Home from home.
We stayed at La Peruela in August 2018 for two weeks. The villa is everything you might imagine from the pictures and videos and more. After two wonderful weeks, our family were very sad to leave!
The villa is well furnished with everything you need to either have a fantastically-located base within the Andalucia region (e.g. Granada a simple day trip away), or a relaxing retreat with everything you need on site, and just a short drive down to the coast.
With all the facilities provided at the villa, even entertainment-demanding children are well-catered for, and contact and services from the owner were great throughout the process and stay (especial thanks to neighbour David for co-ordinating on arrival and being on hand during the stay!).
I would thoroughly recommend a stay at La Peruela for anyone looking to stay with a family in the region just a little away from the bustle of the coastal resorts.

Great location with beautiful views.
We had a great holiday. The house was comfortable for the 9 of us. Fortunately we were able to fix the pool, which had a leak, so we were able to have a great time in the water too! The property is great for the price we paid. The description on the website was really accurate and we were not disappointed at all. The house was clean and we had great contact with the owner who really quickly answered a couple of questions we had. I would recommend this property. We ate out at a restaurant in Los Romanos called El Charco and the food was good with a local touch and view was spectacular.

About the host
Hosted by Tobyn
We're a family of 4 and work in the Glamping Industry. We're flat out with work throughout the summer and can only go to the house on half terms and Easter and Christmas holidays so we've decided to let other people enjoy our house when we're not there.
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location. La Peruela is in a wonderful spot and being the last house down a no through track you feel like your on the edge of civilisation without stepping off. It's 1.5km from a fast road to the coast and you can be on the beach in 20 mins and at Malaga Airport in 40 mins. You have wonderful uninterrupted views that include everything from olive groves to rolling fields, Lake Vinuela and the mountains beyond. The house itself is very spacious with 4 proper double bedrooms, a very substantial first-floor dining room with a modern kitchen off it and an even larger living room with large TV and U shaped seating and the option of snooker / pool or table tennis.
What makes this property unique
The house was built around two decades ago and was originally designed as two flats before it was knocked through into a two-story house. The upshot of this is lots of space, two bedrooms on each floor (making it perfect for two families to share), four terraces with different aspects and two verandas. This means you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sitting out and can move around as the sun moves across the sky. The house had sat empty for several years and has now been totally redecorated and updated so it’s clean and fresh with loads of quality imported furniture so it really feels like a home from home.
