Amazing villa, superb views, close to village, private pool

The house is within walking distance of the picturesque village of Canillas de Aceituno. The village has a good variety of shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities. It is one of the most beautiful villages in the region. More shops and restaurants can be found in the nearby village of Vinuela.

This was a late booking and communication with the owners was great from the start. The instructions were faultless and help was given on a hire car.The property is in the mountains and the drive to the property has great views and was easy (around one hour to Malaga airport). The villa, gardens and pool area were great. The villa is very well equipped and is like a home from home. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, lovely modern kitchen and every utensil you would ever need. Furniture, furnishings and decor were perfect. It is by far the best villa we have stayed at over the years. We spent most of our time round the pool area - with spectacular views over the “campo”.We stocked up with food at a big supermarket then drove int9 the village every other day to top up. The butcher’s shop was good but the highlight was the bakery - El_Soyuco - gorgeous pistachio croissants and cheesecakes. Do not miss out on that shop. We also had a lovely meal at The Secret Garden.We had a day in Malaga, a trip to Antequera and a trip to Nerja caves. Temperatures were around 29 degrees all the time.All in all a great holiday for our family of three (all adults). Many thanks to everyone - owners and greeters.

Fantastic, the views from villa amores were stunning and the actual property was outstanding. If I was to give it a negative it would be the initial drive up to villa but once you got used to the roads it was ok.

Return to Villa Amores

We had two weeks of rest and relaxation in this wonderful villa. Our second visit and the changes made by the new owners have made the experience more enjoyable (electric barbecue is excellent and overcomes local fire restrictions). We will never tire of the peace and tranquility plus wonderful views across the mountains to the sea.

Great villa - great view

The villa is very well equipped (especially the kitchen) and the internal space is very comfortable. The terrace and pool area is ideal for a family group, with a good outdoor dining space and fantastic panoramic views over the surrounding hills. The villa's orientation makes it great for enjoying the sunset from the terrace. The garden is also lovely and well maintained (albeit on a steep slope). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Perfection!!

Our stay was nothing short of perfect!! We played in the pool like small kids (we are 3 generations of women), slept like babies in the rural quiet and made lovely dinners from local ingredients from the village. The tiny town the villa is a part of is something out of a movie, the mountains -marvelous and the ease of travel in and around the area -incredible. We can’t say enough positive things about the place!!

Fantastic villa in a stunning location.

The property was excellent. The location was stunning and was a great base for visiting other tourist areas. The beds were super comfy and we loved that there were essentials provided such as toilet roll, kitchen roll, washing up liquid and cloths, dishwasher tablets cling film, salt, pepper, oil etc. The pool was great for cooling off. The small road leading up to the villa was a little terrifying as I don't like heights, but my husband, who was driving, said it was fine. The rooms were hot at night, despite the aircon, but then Spain was experiencing a heat wave at the time of our stay. The villa was a real home from home and beautifully decorated with locely finishing touches. The brand new bathrooms were fantastic! We would definitely recommend.

Off the beaten track........ but wow

The villa itself is very well presented with 3 spacious bedrooms, nice open living / dining and kitchen area and a great outdoors communal area for eating, relaxing, topped off with a fair sized pool. The upstairs bedrooms share a large balcony and the nightsky view from there is spectacular. It is a tricky drive initially to get there but you do get used to this and when you arrive you are met with spectacular scenery making it very worthwhile! Just ensure you hire an adequate car. There is a nice village 5 min drive away, with a few bars and restaurants but plan ahead and get your bulk provisions on route as the village only has a very limited selection. Don't worry all of this information is made clear by the owners if you book including good directions on how to get there and where the nearest supermarket is on route etc. In summary this is not a beach location and beaches are around 45 mins drive. But it is a tranquil, resplendent setting that makes this space a little more special, a great find.

Very enjoyable - traditional build but all mod cons

Loved our stay at Villa Amores - the views from the balcony, crystal clear water from the pool and nicely laid gardens. The house itself looks like it has been there more than 100 years but George, the owner, told me the house was only built 20 years ago - all facilities including dishwasher were available (but not visible) - super!

Wonderful holiday at Villa Amores!

This was our second family holiday at Villa Amores. And it was even better than the first. The villa is very well appointed and is quite spacious. We took advantage of all the villa had to offer - morning coffee on the upstairs patio over looking the sea and long family dinners on the lower terrace. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

Lovely Villa & Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed the stunning views and the facilities at the Villa Amores. The local guide information pack prepared by George & Daniel was invaluable allowing us lots of ideas for places to visit and local restaurants. The pool had most of the sun all day and it was a great experience eating outside too. The kitchen was well equipped and the Villa was spotless. We had a hire car and was a bit apprehensive getting to it as we had to drive over a bump - I felt a car with a higher wheel coverage would be more suitable rather than a sports car or a car with a lower profile - something we would consider in the future ( crossover car or a 4x4). We found the owners very pleasant, organised and very helpful in assisting us with queries before and during the stay. We enjoyed the recommendations of Restaurant Sociadad in Aceituno and the lovely secluded beach near Nerja. We also walked around the lake and found a British Fish & Chip restaurant called the Town Frier which was excellent. Thankyou for a lovely relaxing holiday and we would recommend Villa Amores for a relaxing, lovely holiday with splendid views across the mountains but not too far away from the coast.

Just Perfect!

We stayed at Villa Amores for 2 weeks from 18th August 2018. I'll start by saying how effortless the booking and communication was with George the owner. Always a prompt reply. We have stayed in maybe 4 or 5 houses of a similar size in this area over the years and this is by far and away the best. From aircon that works and is quiet, the perfect large pool, beautiful furnishings and the best equipped kitchen we've ever had. Its also the quietest house we've stayed in and the views are just amazing.! If you want peace and tranquility, beautiful views and a comfortable secure house then this is the one. Its only 1km from the village and if you enjoy driving then the road down the mountain to the main road is great fun. We had the pleasure of 2 small stray dogs who visited us and although my 9 year old has a general fear of dogs these 2 were just lovely. Very timid and shy and they didnt bark or jump up. We also watched 2 chameleons change colour in the vines outside. The garden is lovely and a walk down the steps gives lovely views. This whole area is great for walking and I'd highly recommend the "Saltillo" walk from the village. I did it on a tuesday morning and didn't see a single person. Perfect! It's very rare to find a house that ticks all the boxes but this one did for us. You wont be disappointed.

Amazing villa with stunning views

We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Amores, it is definitely one of the best houses that we have ever stayed at. The villa was as fantastic as the other reviewers have said, perched on the hillside you get amazing views and the sunsets are spectacular. The villa is immaculate and beautifully decorated, the outdoor spaces are superbly maintained and the pool was a firm favourite with the family. The walk to the nearest restaurant in the village took us about 25 minutes with the family, the drive down to the closest beach was about 30, which was quiet and there were plenty of bars and a few restaurants. George was very responsive in all of his communications and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We would highly recommend this villa and we’re looking forward to going back. Thank you George and Daniel!

Wonderful villa in a beautiful location

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Amores and had a most relaxing holiday. It is located in a very picturesque area and is surrounded by hills and breathtaking scenery. On an evening, as we ate our barbecue, we could hear the bells of the goats on the hillside. The villa is well equipped and comfortable. We had everything that we needed to ensure that our holiday was a success. George was extremely helpful and communication was second to none. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday.

Outstanding property, owners & views. Highly recommended.

Excellent holiday for two weeks in this outstanding property. High spec villa but feels homely, stunning views and outdoor areas for sunbathing and al fresco dining. The village is charming and lots of options for tapas, a drink and a meal. The local beach town is just 30 mins away and is excellent, Spanish resort - no yobs just families enjoying a lovely beach town. I travel widely and I have to say this is now a firm favourite and we plan to return next year.

We highly recommend Villa Amores, the owners have thought of everything and the views are amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Amores! The villa was set along a track completely hidden from the road. The first thing that struck us all were the views, oh my goodness they were amazing! It was so quite, birds and the tinkling of the goats bells are the only things you really hear! We have stayed in many villas, however, this is by far the best, everything you could possibly need and more is provided! The bottle of Champagne was a lovely welcome and surprise. The village of Canillas de Aceituno was within walking distance and we enjoyed eating in the restaurants, great food and reasonable prices. We shall be back!
