Villa with Magnificent views of the Mediterranean sea-own private Pool.
The Villa Verman (important new information, The road to the Villa from Los Romanes has now been concreted so access in now perfect) The Villa is situated 1.5 kms from the village of Los Romanes in the hills above the coastal towns of Velez Malaga and Torre del Mar and only 45 minutes from Malaga Airport. All modern facilities are there, including free WIFI internet access, satellite TV, plunge pool and air conditioning and ceiling fans. The 3000 litre concrete built plunge pool is totally secluded and is raised off the ground for safety reasons. Being only 14 years old the property is in immaculate condition inside and out. The South facing Property is fenced around the villa itself, and so is ideal for small children to wander around in complete safety and also for your pets.
In the Village of Los Romanes 6 mins away by car, are two shops to provide your everyday needs, two Restaurants -both of which we would recommend (maybe you would like to Google "Venta El Charco"), and a couple of small spanish bars. Further down on the banks of lake Vinuela are two further Restaurants, which again, we would recommend, and if you were to continue on further there is the village of puente don manuel with 2 English supermarkets, garages,banks,hairdressers,dentists and excellent health centre, All 10 minutes from the Villa.
You are not alone,-- unless you prefer to be? Our villa is only 100 meters away--although due to the topography,there is no direct line of sight,so your privacy is secured We can help you with all the local information you require and be at hand should you require assistance of any kind
Things to do. The list is endless depending on the type of holiday you want, but I will name a few. wind surfing,kyaking,sailing,water parks,go karting,Quad bike riding,4x4 tours,horse riding,birdwatching,walking,cycling,fishing,swimming, diving,scuber diving, and doing absolutely nothing?
The local area This is the "real Spain"--not a concrete jungle as you will find further afield along the coast. The Majority of the surrounding land is used for the production of Grapes,Olives,Avocados and Mangos. With the Villa being 450 metres above sea level, on the south facing side of a hill called el tinaou, on the outskirts of Los Romanes, above lake Vinuela, --the views to the Mediterranean sea and nearby towns of Velez- Malaga and Torre del Mar are incredible night or day. (Both Velez malaga and Torre del mar are only 20 mins away by Car.)
A little more information...
Velez Malaga-- is the capital of the region of the Axarquia on the "sun and avacado route" which runs for 75 kms along the coast. With a population of 77,000 inhabitants it is a vibrant Town and only 1 km from the coast. During the 800 year rule of the Moorish occupation, it was known as the fortress of Malaga-much of this still exists today.
Torre del Mar is basically between Velez Malaga and the Mediterranean--again a vibrant Town with a population of 22,000, one of its main industries is tourism, every activity you would expect is here!! -but without the crime sometimes associated with some of the bigger tourist cities to the west.
I dont think I can say much more, but should you contact us, much more detailed information is available.
We hope to hear from you soon, and be assured of a warm and friendly welcome,- Summer or winter
Best Regards
Paul and Gabrielle

Hello Annette, sorry for the late reply, thankyou for your review, it was nice to meet you, hopefully we will meet again sometime. Best regards Paul and Gabrielle
We certainly found the jewel in the crown of Andalucía here.
The views are as the reviews said, amazing.
The Villa was imaculate on arrival, and everything we required was provided for us.
I think we only saw 10% of the places we wanted to visit, so we extended our stay and will also rebook for this year.
A big thank you to our hosts for looking after us during our stay.
We would definitely recommend Villa Verman for privacy, peace and quiet, our 2 dogs enjoyed their endless walks in the countryside.

over winter
This is the ideal place to overwinter if you are not one for crowds and night life. Miles of tracks to walk from the front door, two national parks to explore just a short drive away and beautiful mountain villages to be visited when you need a rest from all the walking! The bird life is amazing and the wild flowers beautiful. Caleta de Valez is about 8 miles away and has an incredibly clean 'promenade' all the way to Torre del Mar which makes for a lovely walk by the sea. Paul and Gabriella and their two sons are extremely helpful and friendly too!

With you coming from the most northern point in Scotland, in Winter, we were not surprised you decided to head for "warmer climes".
We watched the Storms in Scotland wreaking havoc on the internet !!
And you both went back with a tan!
It was great to have you stay and you really seemed to settle into life here.
You left the Villa in immaculate condition, and we thank-you for that--
Maybe next year you could consider a summer break?

Immaculate villa in a stunning location
The villa is like a Tardis........it has the largest bed I have ever seen and a bathroom you could party in !
the quality is everywhere you look.We were only a few minutes to the lovely white village of Los Romanes with its restaurants,bars,mini markets and fantastic lake.Within 30 minutes we were at the seaside,and all around us were the famous white villages of the region.The area is a lot greener than we were expecting, with goats,sheep,horses and donkeys amongst the olive groves and almond trees.......A sky full of stars,views to remember and lots of places to visit,definitely coming back.

Thankyou for your review Rob and Margaret--we certainly enjoyed you being here, -you certainly seemed to have enjoyed your 3 month stay, and I think it fair to say we became friends.
You are most welcome to return.
See you soon--hopefully
We realise that we lost a review point because of the small water supply problem we had--we obtain our water from our well, and although its 1200 metres deep, some times these problems occur--but we can assure you this is sorted out now.

Great Villa,fabulous scenery,good location.
The Villa is outstanding immaculately clean and very well presented,with a huge comfy bed,plus stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Mediterranean Sea. We had a restful,relaxing holiday staying for 10 wonderful weeks. (3 months are booked for 2017).
There are many interesting and historic places to visit locally,and if you require some extra excitement,Paul and Gabrielle the owners provide Quadbike safaris,which our 2 grandsons sampled. They said it was the best day of their holiday.
The local restaurant El Charco,a few minutes drive away provides exceptional food, and excellent service.
Special thanks to Paul, Gabrielle and family who made us feel very welcome and gave us help and advice during our holiday.

We really enjoyed having you both stay at our Villa- It was great fun!!
A real pleasure to wander down for a chat .
Your handmade brick BBQ (as you designed) is being built as I type, ready for lots of alfresco dining next to the Pool, we have inserted a fountain in the pool so can only hope this does not put your Barby out!!
So glad you grand sons enjoyed their Quad safari--ended up being 5 hours of off road fun-
We are looking forward to seeing you next year for your 3 month visit.
Best regards Paul and Gabrielle.

The villa is in a beautiful position, very clean and well equipped, private but not isolated
This was our first visit to Spain and we could not have had such a great environment to experience the country. Paul & Gabrielle were fantastic hosts giving us tips and direction but from a professional distance. They helped us feel at home in the villa and completely free to ask for help if needed. They are fun to be around.
From the villa we managed to visit and enjoy Granada, Cordoba, Torr Del Mar and the wonderful countryside. The plunge pool gave a very welcome break from the heat. The odd visit from Marley and Perry were a delight. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at the villa and intend to spend more time in the coming years there.
Booking this villa will never disappoint. Fantatic - great value.

Thankyou so much for your review--do you remember that afternoon we had fun devising a method to hoist Rob into the pool (including the wheelchair)-we are pleased to announce this is now possible!!
we will no doubt have more fun trying it out.
It was great to meet you both--and hopefully we will meet again.
Very best wishes---Paul and Gabrielle x
I needed a week off from people, and tried to find a quiet place where I could use my time on myself, and concentrate on my creative work. Boy, did I find the right place!
Communication with the owner and the man (Jan) who was my contact when I was there was excellent. And when there was a problem, it got fixed. Great hosting all over! Kitchen was well equipped, same with the bathroom and everything else.
Driving from the meeting point in Los Romanes to the house was... interesting. The gravel roads are narrow and bumpy, and not for novice drivers or cars with automatic transmission. Add the insanely beautiful views of the landscape that you have to force yourself not to look at when you're driving because the road need 100% attention, and you're in for an interesting driving experience. Wonderful!
I'd recommend this place for anyone who needs a vacation without distractions. Alone or with someone special. This spot is definitely on my list should I need another creative vacation.

Perfect peaceful getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa has everything you need and is clean and well kept. The views are spectacular from both the terrace and plunge pool and it was nice to take a walk around the surrounding area in the evening as the views are spectacular wherever you walk. Super comfy sunloungers (very important for a sun worshiper like me). Peaceful and totally private but if you want to socialise then it's just a 5 minute drive to the village which has a great restaurant, couple of bars and a couple of shops. Or in 25 minutes you can be on the beach at Torre del Mar which I liked as it wasn't full of the usual posers that can overun some resorts. We also took a trip to Granada which is a beautiful place. Paul and Gabrielle are lovely people who respected our privacy but were there if we needed anything. Loved it so much we want to go back next year. We did a big shop in Velez Malaga before driving to the villa and I would recommend this. The supermarket has special carrier bags for frozen stuff and we bought ice-cream and ice there and it was still frozen when we got to the villa. The fridge freezer is large so can accommodate a big shop. If you like a relaxing holiday away from it all then this is the place for you. Thankyou Paul and Gabrielle

I have marked your dates for next year as tentatively booked so you can adjust them if you wish.
We certainly look forward to seeing you both again.

Communications with host was excellent, we ended up arriving over an hour late and Paul was great. Met us at a local bar to guide us in to our accommodation.
Total, privacy no-one overlooking, the plunge pool is to the side in wonderful shade by 3:30 (end of July). From mid-day the sun was too intense for us so the outdoor shaded terrace was a godsend.
Lovely to have a good sized TV, we took our FireStick with us and had no problem streaming netflix in the evenings. Grab the pillows off your bed for some extra sofa bed comfort on the couch and the portable air-con in the bedroom, while loud was very welcome at night leading to height of summer temperatures.
The star of the show though has to go to ‘Sparky’ the most delightfully friendly black & white dog. She is an absolute darling, please give her cuddles and treats. She bounds in with an energetic smile, and spinning greeting; 10 mins of fuss and then she’ll find a cool spot and sleep for the rest of the day and doesn’t beg for food but welcomes treats gently.
We were in desperate need of secluded peace and quiet to recharge our batteries as hectic key workers and this did the trick perfectly. Thank you for our stay and lovely to meet you Paul, all the best Donna & Simon x

Außergewöhnlich
Wir haben Ruhe gesucht und hier auch gefunden.
Das war genauso wie wir es uns gewünscht haben. Leider ist das Haus sehr verwohnt und das Bad sehr schmutzig. Hier muss dringend renoviert werden.
Hemos encontrado la tranquilidad que deseábamos.
La casa está genial, situada en un sitio encantador y el propietario muy amable.
La recomiendo para todos los que les gusta la naturaleza.
Pasamos unos días alejados del bullicio de la ciudad con nuestros 2 gatos.
Repetiremos seguro.
El lugar es perfecto para disfrutar de la tranquilidad con la familia y perros, donde también puedes disfrutar de su piscina para refrescarte. La casa es acogedora y muy fresca, las camas son cómodas donde dormíamos bien junto con el aire acondicionado.
El dueño nos acompañó y nos explicó todo perfectamente y muy amable. No nos faltó de nada para estar una semana, y los perros disfrutaron mucho.
Sin duda, repetiremos en otro momento!
Hemos estados unos días y ha sido perfecto, hemos ido una pareja con un perro y no podíamos haber elegido mejor casa.
Desde el primer momento Paul nos guío hasta la casa que se encuentra en el monte, en un lugar precioso, las vistas son inmejorables, se ve el valle y el mar al fondo. La casa está impecable, la limpieza es al detalle. La casa es grande, es muy espaciosa y fresca, lo cual se agradece en verano, además tiene aire. El jardín está cuidado y tiene varias zonas para estar tranquilamente, con su mobiliario correspondiente. La piscina está muy bien para refrescarte y está bien cuidada, como toda la casa.
El jardín está vallado en mi caso iba con perro y me vino genial para poder estar relajado sin preocuparme, igualmente la casa esta alejada de otras viviendas y para pasear o dejarle un rato por ahí es genial no molesta ni le molestan.
Paul el dueño de la casa de 10, muy simpático y agradable. Y siempre dispuesto si surge cualquier cosa.
En resumen, si buscas una casa para relajarte, tranquilidad, privacidad y aire puro es tu casa.

Marvelous
We have been a few days and it has been perfect, we have been a couple with a dog and we could not have chosen a better house. From the first moment Paul guided us to the house that is located on the mountain, in a beautiful place, the views are unbeatable, you can see the valley and the sea in the background. The house is impeccable, cleaning is in detail. The house is large, it is very spacious and fresh, which is appreciated in summer, it also has air. The garden is well cared for and has several areas to be quietly, with its corresponding furniture. The pool is very good to cool off and is well maintained, like the whole house. The garden is fenced in my case I went with a dog and it was great for me to be able to relax without worrying, the house is also far from other houses and to walk or leave it for a while it is great it does not bother or bother it. Paul the owner of the house of 10, very nice and pleasant. And always ready if anything comes up. In short, if you are looking for a house to relax, tranquility, privacy and fresh air, this is your home.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de Paul au sein de la montagne. Tout le confort est présent. A noter la superbe vue depuis la piscine. Nous remercions Paul pour son accueil.

Stunning views of sea and mountains from a lovely villa!
We stayed here for 5 nights in November. This one bed villa is located 10 minutes away from Lake Vinuella up a windy dirt track road behind the village of Los Romanes. We met our lovely host Paul who showed us the way to the villa. We drove there in a mini convertible. The villa can be found high up on the hillside with fantastic views of the mountains and sea. We chose it for the views and to get away for some peace and quiet. You don't have any neighbours directly. Paul and Gabrielle's villa is located on a nearby hill. If we had any concerns Paul was quick to assist. There is a covered sun terrace at the front with nice deckchairs and tables. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a long stay including a microwave and gas heated oven. There is a local shop in the village which is useful for supplies. It can get a bit cold in the evenings in the winter but there are radiators as well as air conditioning. All of the rooms are large. The bedroom has a big bed and two mattresses. The bathroom has a washing machine which was useful for us. There is good internet. We enjoyed many beautiful sunsets at the villa.

Bien, mais...
Au moment de notre arrivée nous avons été accueillie par Paul, très gentil , avenant, malgrès le fait de ne pas parler la même langue ,nous nous sommes néanmoins compris.
Le trajet vers la location est assez endommagé (cailloux pointus, chemin de terre en pente, route étroite) nous aurions aimés une meilleur description vers le logement, prévoyez une bonne voiture et de bons pneus.
Conservant la location, l'emplacement est sans vis a vis avec une vue magnifique, dégagée le matin comme le soir, seul bémol présence possible d'un chenil a 150m de la location, la maison typique andalouse est bien équipé, il est précisé un sèche-linge qui n'est pas présent ,peut être une erreur de traduction?...
Dans les petites suggestions, peut-être une nouvelle literie car on sent que celle ci est en fin de vie.
La piscine est bien, par contre même si celle ci ressemble, ce n'est pas celle présente sur la photo de l'annonce de location.
A part cela de bonne vacance et de bonnes visites, la villa est bien située pour les différentes visites a faire.
PS: sparky et le très gros chien de Paul sont très gentils.

Thankyou for leaving a review Nicolas..overall you said your experience was good.....we were hoping for very good.
The Bed is Handmade out of olive wood, and we would expect it to last 100 years, not... at the end of its life.....cost 900 euros.
Regarding the pool photo being different, the Builder built 2 of these for us, one for the Villa and one for us, and being exactly the same, with the same view, we diddnt think it mattered..we will change this.
Due to Covid 19 the council diddnt maintain the road as well as they normally do, to the various villas in our area....but one of our neighbours uses a ford fiesta 1000cc, and she buzzes up and down.
Due to us welcoming guests from all over the world, we have just bought an instant voice translater for use in 70 languages..should be fun and more accurate than Google translate. Thankyou again.
Thank you Paul and Gabrielle for our stay at "Villa Verman". We really enjoyed our stay, the peace and quiet along with the spectacular views were amazing. Great base for exploring the surrounding area. As Paul told us you really do need to have a hire car that is powerful enough to make the trip up the "country road" from Los Ramones to the villa. Having said that the trip was well worth it when you arrived at the villa.
Thanks once again and we hope that we may return in the future.

Hi Janet and Chris-
Thankyou for your review, -the day after you left I fitted a nice shiny towel rail next to the shower as you suggested--you have to come back now to inspect my workmanship?
All is well here with temps hovering about 34c in the sun, summer hasnt finished yet.
Our new guests are buzzing around in a 1200cc hire car, no problems at all.
We do hope you return-it was fun.
All the best
Paul and Gabrielle
Outstanding hosts and property.
Villa is very private with stunning views across mountains and valleys with views of the Med in the distance.
Paul & Gabrielle are great hosts and provided excellent information in advance and help/hospitality when required during the stay.
Lots of amenities within a 15 minute drive and well located for sightseeing further afield.
We just shopped and then locked ourselves away for the week in the perfect isolation the property offers.
This property is definitely recommended if you want tranquility, privacy in a stunning environment, we will be back just as soon as possible.

Thankyou for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and we are certainly looking forward to you both returning.
The Villa was left in immaculate condition and we also thankyou for that.
2 days after you left the local council repaired the road.
Hopefully next time you visit we will be able to offer a car for you to use, saving all the hassle of hiring a car.-keep in touch and we can give you more details.
The temperatures are still in the mid thirties so the pool is still operating just in case you wanted to turn around and come back?

I booked Villa Verman for a complete chilled getaway and that is exactly what I got, the villa is comfortable, clean and the views are spectacular. Paul and Gabrielle are wonderful hosts who made me feel so welcome and were always on hand if I needed anything which was really appreciated seeing as I was a lone traveller. The village is lovely and everyone you meet will make you feel so welcome too.
Just a word of advice, if hiring a car from the airport, make sure it’s durable to drive up gravel hill sides!
Again the views you have from the villa are better than you can imagine.
Will be back soon!

Hello Becky, it was nice to meet you, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and all your expectations were met.
When I met you at the Restaurant to show you the way to the Villa I noticed your little (tiny) city car may have problems with the road up the hill, in fact as you said, this was too small even for normal use.
I would agree with you that I would advise Guests not to rent "mini city" cars for use in the countryside.
We do hope that we see you again soon-you would be more than welcome

About the host
Hosted by Paul Dobson
Having served in the Royal Marines for 12 Years, and during this time travelled all over the World, I decided on a new life in a warmer climate. I ran a few successful small businesses in England but wanted to slow down-life was going too fast for me-and work was all my life. Having found this area, life is a lot slower--we get things done, but at a much more relaxed pace. During the first Years it was so frustrating not to get a delivery, for example, on time, now I expect it to be late. Between the afternoon siestas (excuse for a sleep or a brandy in the local bar)--romerias, fiestas and every other excuse to slow down even more, it suprises me we get anything done--but we do.
Why they chose this property
I bought a House in the same area when I first Moved to Spain in 1996, My Wife and I thought we would have a Villa built for us as an investement and hopefully as an income stream. The Villa is nestled amongst the Olive Groves of Andalusia Southern Spain. With views of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Sierra Nevada Mountains north, these views at 450 mtrs above sea level are awe inspiring--forget the postcards you can buy on the Coast--you are actually here! If your wish is to experience life in the true Spain, and involve yourselves in the local culture including local fiestas and romerias you will be made most welcome. Just walking through the villages you will be greeted with an OLA!--(HELLO) from a total stranger-where they speaking to me? Yes they were! try it and see?
What makes this property unique
We have our own Property 100 metres away further up the Hill, although we do not have a direct view of the rental property, so your privacy is secure. 5 minutes away is the Village of Los Romanes, a white washed Village undiscovered by most--with small " local" priced shops, and restaurants-why pay tourist prices? Also the community outside pool in the village is huge, and always kept in immaculate condition--open all summer You truly need to visit this special place--you will never forget it--and you will return again and again. Because we are nearby-we can offer you our support and knowledge of the entire area if you need it. We can organise trips of any kind for you, & point you in the right direction for anything you need
