Very Rural
The villa was excellent as well as the host, David. I have to say the views were magnificent! Great stay but was terrified of the spiral roads and heights was an issue for me. I wish i had know earlier as to how remote we were, i probably would not have picked the villa for just 1 week as it was a bit of a long trek from airport. But hindsight is a wonderful thing. I would definitely pick another one of David's villa in future. Thank you for your generous hospitality.

Nice and relaxing
The villa is as in the listings, not really modern but matching the full vibe of the area. The AC works wonders and my dad was in love with the bbq mechanism. An AC unit on the living room would be a really nice addition. The views are amazing, and it’s really quite. The access is a bit complicated. David was an incredible host, keeping in touch during the full stay and checking with us on regular basis. If you are looking for peace, quite and nature Villa Carolina is a good choice.

Perfect place to relax
Villa Carolina was the perfect place to unwind. It is so peaceful, nestled on the side of the hill that you can just let the world pass you by. Just what we needed! The villa is well equipped and we definitely needed the air con and the pool to break the heat. We did a few trips out to stock up and explore the area: Comares is lovely and only 10min away and has some good restaurants; the coast is about 30min away as are the larger hypermarkets in Velez Malaga. Great base, great place.

Amazing holiday place.
We were absolutely enjoying our stay at Villa Carolina, everything as it was described. Amazing views, relaxing atmosphere, already planing to go there next year. Just one thing, singn at the turn to villa could be bigger and more visible but rest was absolutely great. Thanks to the owner and the managers.

Stunning
We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at Villa Carolina even with a 4 month old!! The views did not disappoint and the accomodation was spotless. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the local farmer walk his herd of goats across the hills in the evening whilst enjoying a few cold beverages on the balcony! Carl was very informative and it was reassuring to know that he was reachable should we have required him for anything given the remote location. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place for you. Next time we intend to bring family members to make the most of the space available.

Just got back from a lovely relaxing week in this villa. Don’t be fooled by the location marked on the map to where the villa is.. follow the directions carefully that are provided after booking! The villa was clean and well maintained and the swimming pool also! This is the perfect place to go for a private, relaxing holiday enjoying the beautiful scenery. Already looking forward to booking another trip soon!

Quiet setting with beautiful view
The villa is set in a really beautiful location. Perfect if you love a beautiful view, peace and quiet and clear skies at night for star gazing. The villa itself was a little old fashioned and in need of some TLC, the sofa has definitely seen better days. The downstairs windows were a concern as they didn’t lock. Saying all that, it’s pretty remote so we never felt unsafe, the location was really quite beautiful and the view is breathtaking,. The villa was very clean, it was well equipped and the added bonus of WiFi was a huge bonus for the kids. We really did enjoy our stay, it was possibly a little more remote than we expected but it was perfect for us and if you have a car then it’s not an issue. The winding roads made it an adventure and Comares town itself is possibly one of the most beautiful Spanish towns we’ve visited. Having the pool was a blessing, it was cleaned and well looked after by Trevor, any issues were dealt with straight away. Carl the manager was very welcoming and easy to contact, he addressed any issues and gave us lots of info about the area, restaurants etc which was really useful. If you want uninterrupted peace and a place to switch off, this is the perfect place to stay, we managed it even with 3 kids in tow.

Just got home, fab time
Just got back from Villa Carolina a couple days ago from a family holiday. The villa had everything we needed and the pool was nice with an amazing view, we travel all around Costa Del Sol and are used to the mountains so we love it, if you want peace and quiet and to recharge the batteries we highly recommend it. Carl was also on location and very friendly and helpful.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay.Carl and his wife made sure we had a splendid time.the private pool was the centre of it all...with the hot weather we spent most time in the pool.the view is magnificent,the cool breeze the the evening,the birds and sound of the crickets,the beds were Soo comfortable.i also enjoyed cooking in the kitchen as it has everything u need. The drive to and out of the villa is a bit challenging but after a couple drives you get used to it. Over all we loved it so much we will be coming back.

We enjoyed it, but ...
We came expecting a honeymoon rather than the initiation ceremony we received. That drive! I am comfortable driving a 7.5 tonne truck, but not this! Many times I wanted to shout "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" but alas I am not a celebrity. Let me tell you it doesn't get any easier as the week goes on. Going out after dark was never an option. Then there was the power cut, the ant invasion - by land and air. We even put our croissants in the microwave for safekeeping only to open it the following morning to watch the pastries march out on their own. The villa is a little tired with light bulbs out, exposed wires and a severely limited choice of TV channels ... But, as we were told "it is on the market and the owner doesn't want to spend any money on it". The pool cleaner, when he paid his much awaited visit, was delighted to show us the "actual tarantula" he had scooped out of the pool. Plus points - Malaga is lovely with lots to see. The caves at Nerja are simply stunning. Eating out was generally inexpensive and the food delicious.

Sehr zu empfehlen
Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Von der Terrasse aus hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf die beeindruckende Landschaft. David war ein toller Gastgeber, der mit seinen genauen Instruktionen die Anreise stark erleichtert hat. Wir wurden herzlich willkommen geheißen. Wer das ländliche Andalusien etwas fernab des Trubels erleben möchte, ist hier genau richtig.

Super locatie, waar je ook bent, meestal hoor je wel ergens een snelweg in de verte, hier helemaal niets, af en toe een kudde schapen maar dat vindt ik ook rustgevend. Zijn bijna elke dag naar de kust gereden, na de 2e keer ging het steeds vlotter. Prima vakantie gehad.

Buena experiencia en este alojamiento!
Una casa acogedora, muy limpia, en un entorno muy tranquilo y con buenas vistas. Acceso un poco complicado y alejado de poblaciones. La casa y la piscina estaban muy bien. Algún pequeño detalle a mejorar: echamos en falta un mantel para la mesa, más pinzas para tender la ropa , exprimidor y algún armario más y perchas en las habitaciones. En general, una estancia muy agradable. Muy recomendable!

Das Haus ist wunderbar zum entspannen. Sehr abgelegen in den schönen Bergen von Andalucía, diese Ruhe lädt zu herrlichem Yoga ein. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man im Alltag benötigt. Die Kinder hatten einen riesen Spaß mit dem Pool. Maria und Carl waren super nett und sehr aufmerksam. Wir empfehlen das Haus gerne weiter, an die Urlauber, die weit außerhalb vom Trubel sich eine Auszeit gönnen möchten.
