Cottage holiday rentals in Vélez-Málaga

Peaceful stay for a week. Beautiful elevated location with panoramic views. Rocabella restaurant at the bottom of the track was great if you dont feel like venturing out far, with a varied menu from light bites to main dishes with burgers, steaks and fish.. My advice would would be to grab some basic groceries from a supermarket prior to going up to the house i.e coffee, bread eggs , drinks etc. I travelled with my ederly mother and the accomodation was suitable for our needs as she is unable to manage steps. There is one twin room downstairs with a bathroom and walk in shower which is next to the kitchen , lounge and outside patio so easy access for her with limited mobility. its would not be suitable for a wheelchair however. Upstairs there is a double bedroom with doors opening onto a patio with table and chairs, perfect for your morning coffee to relish the sun rise and sunsets, and also affording privacy if travelling with others in your group. I throughly enjoyed my stay. 😊

At Casa Lopez, we stayed for 1.5 months as 5 adults, a child, and a dog. Occasionally, we were up to 10 people, but space was never an issue. The villa is beautiful with stunning views of the mountains and surroundings. The mountain road to the villa adds charm, and the place feels comfortable and safe—even accessible with a Fiat 500. The villa is more spacious than the photos suggest. Rafael, the host, showed us all the amenities: pool, Jacuzzi, and game room—all in perfect order. We also worked from the villa using the internet without any issues. The area is picturesque, close to beaches, mountains, and towns, with plenty to do. The hosts are very kind and helpful, even recommending a mechanic when needed. After 1.5 months, we still felt their warmth and friendliness. Leaving Casa Lopez was emotional for us. So, I recommend the villa for vacations, as well as a place where after work you can open some wine and jump into the pool. I wish everyone an equally wonderful stay.

We had a really great time in Madre Tierra. Rafa welcomed us and was really helpful for any request we had. The house is comfy, calm and with a great view, close to nice mountain paths. Totally recommended. Thanks again Rafa!

We had a fantastic weekend in Monte Naturivo! The accommodation is surrounded by beautiful nature and is the perfect place to relax. Everything was absolutely clean and very well maintained - you can see how much love is put into every detail here. We were particularly enthusiastic about the great pool, the relaxing hammam and the beautiful yoga room - ideal for switching off and feeling good. The hostess was incredibly friendly and warm, we felt welcome from the first moment. Monte Naturivo is truly a special place that we can highly recommend to everyone.

Just retuned from a 1 week stay at the Cassita! Lovely and peaceful with beautiful surroundings and plenty to do if you’re happy to drive. Our two children loved the pool too. Kila was very responsive and friendly and we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Thanks again.

The perfect stay at Cristina’s beautiful house in Pampaneira! The town was gorgeous and we felt right at home! Cristina’s instructions were easy to follow and the house had everything you needed and more. Also provided flexible check out times which was a bonus! Will definitely be visiting again :)

We stayed here for 4 weeks (family of 3) and it was the most wonderful holiday! So peaceful and quiet, well equipped house and a lovely pool. The beds are really comfortable and the aircon in the bedrooms was brilliant. Cómpeta is a beautiful town and worth a visit. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

This cottage with swimming pool (and jacuzzi!) on top of the mountain in Coín is really a paradise. Ideal for a relaxing family vacation. The road to it is spicy, but once you are, this is the perfect base for trips to Malaga, Ronda, Marbella, Granada,...

I cannot rate this place high enough. It’s a slice of heaven and a place of dreams. If you want to get away from the world but be close enough to be in Malaga within 15 minutes, I don’t think you can do better. The work and effort that Juan and Ana have put into this place is outstanding. It’s secluded, it’s peaceful, it’s surrounded by beautiful vistas. It’s only 15 minutes from the outskirts of Malaga, but you feel in your own, private world. From here I visited Malaga, Ronda, Cordoba and Granada. I also spent days doing nothing at all, just laying by the pool or swimming, relaxing in peace and reading. It’s such a wonderful place. May I please say a particular thanks to Juan, who is the most charming and friendly host you can hope to meet. The pride and passion he has for the home and the area is incredible. He was an absolute pleasure. Kind hearted and patient while I practiced my terrible Spanish on him. I look forward to returning and miss being there already.

The stay at Angel's accommodation "Las Lavaderas" was excellent. The quiet and private atmosphere allowed us to recover well. A perfect place to relax. The house is equipped with everything you need. Communication with Angel worked perfectly, friendly and always prompt.

This was one of the best holidays we have had. The mountains are incredibly beautiful, the town is not too far away, Malaga is great for beaches, town, restaurants, shopping and history! Juan is very friendly and happy to help and manager Jenni is always on hand to answer questions and visit to make sure that everything is going smoothly. The pool is compact but still wonderful for a dip at any time. It is clean and very well maintained. The terrace is beautiful to sit at all times. This is a wonderful place. Thank you for our stay!

José was an amazing host, always responsive and the villa was unbelievable. The views were incredible and everything matched the pictures so perfectly but was even more spacious than we thought. Would come back again and recommend to anyone 100%

We had a wonderful stay. The place was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The views were lovely, and we especially enjoyed the outdoor seating and BBQ area (only issue was that it was too windy to use the parasol so no shade). The nearby town was really beautiful and quaint too. Eyal and his family were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and great to communicate with.

We had an amazing time at the airbnb 😀 Very nice house, garden en swimmingpool. The views from the pool were beautiful and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. we definately recommend this place

I was a guest of Rosa Maria's with my 17-year-old dog. It was a great time for us. The house is quite secluded, and difficult to reach without a car, but we enjoyed the peace and idyll very much. In the morning at breakfast the beautiful view of the sea , and in the evening with a glass of red wine unbeatable sunsets. It was just the thing for us🤗!

Had a lovely quiet stay, Valentina is a friendly host and gives you clear and convenient instructions. Granada can be reached at a good distance by car, definitely an accommodation I can recommend!

Pablo is a good host, very friendly and responsive. Our coffee pot broke the first day and he came by within 20 minutes to replace it. The house is basic but comfortable and has everything you need. Location and views amazing! Didn’t find the road up as scary as other reviews and it was a quick 10 min ride to the beautiful village of Frigiliana. All the restaurants we dined at were fabulous! Very nice place if you want peace & privacy. Our dogs loved it!

I cannot recommend Catalina as a host, highly enough. Her place is spotless, beautifully, decorated, and practical. It has everything you could possibly need from the kitchen to the bathroom to the living room , to the bedroom. It is a peaceful, beautiful, serene place to stay So much so that I often did not want to leave it. Catalina is extremely responsive as a host and anticipates all of your needs. As a host myself, I appreciate all of her efforts and recommend her place very highly.

A wonderful villa in a wonderful location. So tranquil and relaxing. No road noise, not overlooked and beautiful views. Everything jn the house is of high quality, particularly the kitchen. So much space, we loved it. We were there in April and the weather was a bit hit and miss. The pool was a bit chilly, but we still went in every day.

Elena is very friendly and helpful. She also gave us good tips, for example how to park for free in Málaga. We enjoyed staying in their apartment very much. It is very quiet and a little further away from the town of Cártama. It is small, as described, but completely sufficient. We loved the garden in the evening at sunset and in the morning at breakfast. Thanks for the time!

Really lovely spot with amazing, large pool, that you can actually swim in, even with a group of eight, outdoor seating to relax and enjoy views. Our group appreciated all the separate bathrooms and cooking indoors and out and eating on the balcony. Host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! Malaga, Marbella, and Granada are all about an hour to an hour and a half away. El Torcal ( remarkable rock formations on a hike) is only 1 hour. Walkable little market for beer/wine. We came by car, so not sure about public transportation. Do be aware that there is no dishwasher, but the lovely unique dishes are great. Occasionally you hear neighboring dogs , but the road is quiet. I especially recommend going to Museo Etnológico de Riogordo a little local museum about Andalusian culture/ historical life it is a gem off the tourist beaten path. Enjoy! Our Family loved our time:)

Just arrived back from a wonderful week at Steph and Terry's home. The weather was amazing so we took full advantage of the beautiful pool in the most fabulous location. The property is set amongst the mountains and whilst remote it's not too far from the main road for visiting the surrounding area. For myself and my partner it ticked all the boxes as we love nature, watching the wildlife and the quiet of the mountains where we could relax away from our busy lives. Steph and Terry were always there to answer any questions and give recommendations. The Al In Carhire company recommended by them was extremely easy and value for money. Thank you to Steph and Terry for making our holiday special.

We extremely enjoyed staying at Elina's place. The view was great and the private pool lovely. The place was very clean and everything you need was provided. The mattress of the bed can be a little more modern. The owners of the airBNB were very friendly and helpful, nice people to stay with!

We really enjoyed our stay with Maria and Oliver. They are friendly, welcoming and very helpful, and have good tips for restaurants and excursions. The apartment is nicely decorated, with a nice kitchen, a BBQ and good beds. There was even fresh fruit (partly from your own garden) and a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival! A nice surprise. The private terrace has a fantastic view and there is a clean and nice swimming pool to cool off in. You can use the beautiful garden, which was now (early May) beautifully in bloom (olive, avocado, lemon and orange trees, flowers…). We visited Granada for a day from the apartment, which is easy to drive to. We also walked and visited the beautiful mountain villages of the Alpajurra, and swam in the Mediterranean Sea. We really enjoyed our stay in this little paradise last week, and would love to come back again.
