Villa was nice but the location for us wasn’t what we expected, beautiful views and very peaceful but the road to it is very narrow and we didn’t venture out at night due to this as it’s quite scary in daylight so we chose not to do it in the dark! Oven was broken on arrival but it’s got new one fitted within couple days thankfully! Pool is good all shoulder depth for me 5ft 3 nice relaxed week for us

We have hired villas many times on Costa del Sol but Casa Joya was definitely the best. The villa itself had everything we could have wanted and was in beautiful condition. The pool was excellent and a good size for a swim. The additional advantage is the location. About 45 mins from Malaga airport and only around 15 mins to the sea. What could be better? Peace and tranquility around the pool with great views and easy to go to the sea if you feel the need. Reaching the villa was quite straight forward and the drive was similar to other rural villas we have visited. In the hills you should expect narrow windy roads and we had no problems even at night. Uta, the owner was easy to contact which made us feel even more relaxed. I would very highly recommend this villa.

We have spent restful holidays : the villa is nice and confortable, the kitchen fully equipped, the surrounding are quiet, the pool is perfect and the view lovely. But there are some points to note : there is a nice dog (barkling some nights) into the villa in the garden except at weekends but we have to water it, and that was disturbing especially because pets were not allowed and we had to pay expensive charges to keep our own dog in France... The last 10 minutes driving path to arrive at the villa is frightening : mind your car !, but we get used to it, at last. The garden needs refreshment and care.The biggest bathroom has a shower without shower curtain nor screen the floor is entirely wet and that is unsafe and dangerous with electric devices. The drains of all showers are very bad. To get hot water the water broiler is erratic, a solar water heating system would be more appropriate. Sun umbrellas are old and some lounge chairs too. The person in charge of the villa was attentive and helpful.

Had a lovely relaxing week, views were great, however property was tired and is in need of tlc. Bedroom fan and fridge were dirty, fridge could of been the last rental but the fan hadn’t been cleaned for months, we dare not use it as it would of been snowing inside! Hot water for the showers was non existent, luckily it was hot so cold showers were refreshing. Outside chairs were great to sit and have a coffee in the mornings or a drink or two in the evening and the fairy lights were a nice touch. Spent most of the week outside using the pool which was great but again the shower was very dirty and everything needed a good sweep. It wouldn’t take much to get it back to how it looks in the photos, repairing broken tiles around the pool and a good tidy up. Nothing was a major issue and as we were only there for a week we made the most of relaxing in the sun and going out. The local square was lovely and well worth a visit, Gareth’s bar / cafe is excellent.
