The house and the location were, as described, exceptional, in a positive sense. During the 2 weeks we were able to enjoy the house to the fullest and there are many beautiful places on the property that invite you to linger. We would have liked to have stayed longer. The view from the very well-maintained garden invites you to dream. Seen from the coast: even if the little paradise is a bit remote and difficult to reach, it's worth it. The two mountain villages opposite can be reached quickly and offer everything you need, including beautiful cultural and culinary offerings, which we were always happy to take advantage of. Contact with Annemarie Heidenhain was good and helpful when necessary. Thank you very much for the many tips and the easy accessibility. Our vacation in this place was very successful. Thank you very much for this beautiful place and greetings again

If you've found your way to this listing, you're likely looking for a villa in the mountains of Andalucia and not a city or oceanfront hotel. You can't go wrong with any of those options, but for my husband and I and our teenage kids, this is as idyllic as it gets--both the location (up roads that curve high above the white villages) and the villa itself. We stayed here eight years ago, after our first visit to the area fifteen years before that. We have just come home from our third trip, a week in June (sunny days; high of 80s, a sweet warmth at night). Obviously it is a special place for us. There are dozens of rentals you can choose from, but we will keep coming back to Las Mañanitas as long as it's available. It is even lovelier than the pictures show. Plenty to do all around....you can take days trips to the beach or Granada/Sevilla/Ronda etc....or you can just stay in this beloved mountain home, hike, explore, and pop fifteen minutes down to Competa for tapas. Everything is immaculate: there's a pretty pool, two modest bedrooms, a charming kitchen & living area & sunroom, but what really makes this villa stand out is the attention to detail in its decor, especially outdoors: potted plants and trees, Moroccan lamps and silver trays, Spanish tiles and twinkling lights...sit in the hammock or in the sun looking out to sea or down some secretive steps to a tiny courtyard among the almond trees...The owners love their home and want to share it! We'll be back soon!

The property and views are simply amazing. The contact with Annemarie was excellent and the information provided for the area was superb. It’s hard to add to the comments that others have already made - you will never get tired of the views! The house was spotlessly clean and is amazing inside and out. Such a quiet location you can properly relax and get away from it all.

This place is really special. The house is very comfortable and clean. The garden is spectacular with wonderful views of the valley and mountains and out to sea on clear days; we loved spending time on the veranda and in the pool. The kitchen is better stocked than any other rental property I’ve been in and it was a pleasure to make our meals there. Both bedrooms are lovely and of equal size. The house is tucked away and felt really isolated. You need to be a confident driver for the roads around there but it didn’t detract from the experience. We absolutely loved our stay, were very sad to leave and will certainly return.
