"Had a fantastic family getaway in Villa Camaleon 27th Dec 2024-1st Jan 2025. The villa is up on a hill overlooking the coast, well situated with pretty Italian Cypress trees along the driveway. Completely private, feels remote but has a nice little neighbourhood on the hillside which feels safe. Pack a torch for evening walks. The road up is a single track with pull in areas, we enjoyed the track up and down for the views, if you're an experienced driver no issue, if less so, just take it steady. The villa is clean and tidy with eveything you will need for your stay, washing machine, kettle, hair dryer, plenty of towels, entertainment etc. The pool was great, with coloured lights. Pretty gardens. The best supermarket to stock up - El Ingenio, Velez-Malaga,there is a fuel station and mall type convenience. During our stay we visited Caminito del Rey & El Gaitanejo, the well photographed narrow gorge walkway, we had encounters with goats, found fossils and loved watching the train pass through the gorge, a marvel of engineering. We had a great day out at Cueva De Nerja which is a stunning cave with spectacular formations, there was also a VR experience which sent my brain into a tizzy about simulation theory and some really pleasant botanical gardens. We took quite a hike one day and visited Bajada al Canuelo a lesser trodden, clean, beautiful beach, steep way down from the car park through the woods & back up the road. Lots more to see and do! James, thank you for having us! "

"A beautiful, well equipped villa in a great area for walking. Quiet and relaxing location. Excellent communication with the host."

"A lovely well appointed villa with spectacular views and a lovely swimming pool. The sunsets were epic, and we had a great time as a family. My only slight negative would be the drive up being on windy roads meaning we didnt venture out for dinner due to not wanting to do the drive in the dark. Otherwise, we had a great week. "

"Excellent view, tranquil, 10mins drive from a nice quite beach. Ideal for families. Fast wifi, fresh water swimming pool. Safe area in the mountains. Host was perfect with quick responses."

"We had a fabulous 12 night stay in early August. The Villa was very much as described with 4 large twin rooms all en-suite. Aircon was great in all the bedrooms. The spectacular views stretching past Malaga to the West and across the Med were only beaten by the stars at night. The drive to the Villa is steep for short time and your own car is very much a necessity but this was well flagged by the owner and the payoff with views more than compensates. We found the easiest access was from Arenas coming from the West. The Villa could benefit from some outside sofas in the shade, but you can’t have everything. Great Villa for multi family groups, or extended family, especially in conjunction with the nearby sister villa (50m away) which is larger and has a tennis court as well. The hosts were very very helpful and attentive and contactable on Whatsapp. Thank you Rosana. "

"The drive to the house was terrifying, we had people cancel day trips and plans because they didn’t want to drive the road to the house. One of my family refused to go in the car to Sayalonga and walked to the town every single time to avoid the scary drive. We were unable to use both pools on any of the days, it was one or the other and they were cloudy for most if not all of our stay. Not enough washing machines, refrigerator space, beds were uncomfortable, no a/c in the house, we had to buy about 20 fans so people could sleep. It was a nightmare and has tarnished VRBO for me personally. I have lost trust in your site. Shocking really"

"Spacious and comfortable Finca with the most amazing views! Fully equipped with everything you would need during your stay. The location is very rural, so consider this before booking, for us it was perfect, we got to completely relax and switch off for the whole 2 weeks. The gardens are well maintained and very pretty. The hosts were lovely, came to clean the pool and water the plants a few times during our stay but always informed us when they were coming and went about their business without impossing at all. Highlight of the holiday for my daughter was Heinz taking her out on one of his horses, so thank you again for that Heinz, it was a great experience for her, one she really enjoyed. If we ever decide to visit Andalucia again, this will be the first place we look for accomodation, the only dissapointment of the holiday was having to leave."
