We loved our stay! Especially the garden and the pool are amazing. We loved the view of the pool and all the great plants and flowers. Contact with the host Andres was really great. He responds really quickly. Only thing is that the interior of the house is a bit outdated, the beds could use an upgrade. But overall: loved it!

Good communication with owner prior to visit. Beautiful spacious villa, well equipped, secure and clean. Need car but ideal location, 30 minutes to coast. Can walk into town but a little hilly. Would visit again.

We had a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend Villa Esmeralda.

Andres was such a superb host, he was brilliant at communicating and so proactive. The villa was immaculate and really comfortable. The great sofa area by the pool was fantastic (this is not in the photos at the present time so a great surprise). There is a short drive to the local town which has a lovely selection of restaurants and a couple of supermarkets.

Villa has beautiful pool and surrounding gardens, loads of internal space, but you must hire a car as there is nothing in walking distance and villa is situated at top of a steep hill with an old single lane road with no walking path and everything must be reached by taxi or car, the villa could be doing with a few baking trays only a grill pan for use, Andres the property manager is first class and very helpful if you require anything, this is my sixth villa visit and probably best one outside but a little lower down the rating for inside the villa, could be doing with new mattresses and more kitchen essentials, overall still an nice villa to visit

This was our fifth time to visit Alhaurin el Grande and we have now found the perfect location and house to stay. We had a wonderful 8 days at Villa Esmeralda. We especially loved the gated pool which made it extra safe for my little boy, and the beautiful garden which is so nicely kept. We also had some lovely walks around the area which has such stunning views. In the daytimes we loved to use the pool and the terraced area around it and the evening sun gets the front of the house where we could sit and enjoy a book overlooking the view. Andres was a fantastic host, we ran out of hot water one day and he replied instantly and was with us within an hour. We cannot wait to return!

Fabulous Villa both inside and outside

Fabulous Villa both inside and outside. Very clean and the outdoor seating area on the veranda was fabulous. Barbeque area was covered but could be retracted if sun was not too hot which gave great flexibility to dine outside no matter time of dayevening. Andres was very welcoming and communicated routinely via whatsapp during the week. Location and views are stunting and still only 25-30 minutes drive to the main resorts of Malaga/Torremillos etc. Pool was perfect as the 1.5 meter max depth allowed safe swimming area for our son and was relaxing for us to have that freedom. Highly recommend this villa.

Perfect holiday with friends

The property was perfect. We were two families of 3, we had more than enough room for us all, a bathroom for each family as well as outside bathroom facilities, shower &, toilet. The pool was lovely, very clean and just deep enough for the two boys. The garden is stunning and is very well looked after. Andres was a lovely host, showed us around the property on arrival, and kindly collected us from town after we had done our shopping as we were quite early. The property had everything we needed and was just like being at home, every kitchen utensil you needed, a BBQ which was used every day and so much seating we were spoilt for choice. Really lovely holiday, we will definitely be back and will highly recommend.

Excellent holiday stay

Excellent holiday stay. Andres met us at the villa and explained everything to us really well. He was always contactable for any questions during our stay. The villa was extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped. The private pool was lovely and also well kept. The pool is gated so very safe for little ones. The gardens are beautiful as are the views. I would suggest a car for your stay as the villa is a short distance away from the main town Alhaurín el Grande. The town is great with plenty of choice of restaurants, bars and shops. Apparently walkable but we didn’t try as we had a two year old with us. I would definitely recommend and we will certainly book again in the future.

Everything from start to finish was superb

Everything from start to finish was superb. Andres, the owner, was easy to speak to, organised, and accomodating. We found the area to be peaceful with lovely views and close enough to the airport to make driving easy. There was a good selection of local restuarants and bars, without it being too busy and they were a good price.The Villa was really nice. The outside area, pool and gardens were really well maintained and kept very clean. Our family loved spending all day in the pool, and the air conditioning in the villa was a nice break for our baby every so often. The villa had everything you could hope for and we intend on returnig for sure. Thanks, Andrew

Andres (owner) was great, excellent communication and just a really decent guy. Villa was beautiful and so quiet. We didn't bother hiring a car and instead relied on taxi's when we wanted to venture out, but mostly we wanted to relax within the villa. Villa was great and spacious which was just what we wanted as we took the grandparents along. We didn't feel like we were on top of each other at all. So much space outside. Love that the pool is gated as was very handy with a 2 year old.

Couldn’t ask for anything better

The garden and pool are outstanding. The best we’ve ever seen. The house is wonderful and clean. Andres was wonderful and so communicative and helpful. Stock the kitchen a little more with things like a sieve, grater, more chopping boards, Tupperware etc. It would have been perfect if the pool was heated but understand that’s expensive

We really enjoyed staying here. The garden and the view makes this place very special. The location is also great, if you want to go to Málaga cityrather go to the beach, it’s both not that far when you have a car. There are beautiful hiking trails in the area if you want to spend some time in the mountains. Besides that the host was very friendly and always available to answer any questions. Definitely recommend going here!

We loved Villa Esmeralda

Villa Esmeralda was absolutely stunning and superbly presented. Everything was clean, easy to access and explained by the host upon arrival (he even got the travel cot out super quickly as he hadn't been informed of our request, but it was no hassle at all for him). The host was very friendly and communicated easily via WhatsApp if we needed him! We stayed during mid July when it was super hot, the AC in every room was perfect and worked flawlessly, essential when it's nearly 35+ deg C each day with kids. The villa was suitable for us with a 1 year old and 4 year old, the gated pool an absolute bonus. The garden was stunning too and offered loads of entertainment for the littles ones. The living area was lovely and comfy and kitchen well equipped. In the evenings we could sit outside, with loads of seating options, we enjoyed sitting around the pool with our feet up! It was quiet and very private! Access up the property is easy, a hire car is essential, and we visited loads of places in under an hours drive including Aquamijas water park (excellent for little ones as well as old ones), Mijas Pueblo, Pueblo Banus and Selwo Aventura. We loved Alhaurin el Grande too, plenty of street parking if you want to go to a coffee shop or for ice cream (heladaria El Mori). Plenty of supermarkets too, the best one for variety is Mercadona with an indoor carpark (very tight though!) Overall we loved our stay, our children loved it, The only issue we had was upon arrival, Cubos hasn't passed the message on to the host that we needed a cot and highchair, so that wasn't set up when we arrived, so he had to rush to get that set up for us. Also Cubos told me that I'd need to bring our own cot sheet and gave me dimensions, which was wrong as we didn't need to bring a cot sheet, and the dimensions were wrong for the cot provided. So really just the communication from Cubos needs improving.

Wonderful house with a great outdoor area

The house is a beautiful villa with a magnificent pool area and a large garden. We had a lot of fun at the pool. The house is located in a quiet location. Andres is a great host. He was always there to help and advise us and was a great help. The check in and check out including deposit went smoothly.

Wonderful, relaxing holiday

Five of us stayed for one week. The villa is located in an area with other villas, you don't notice the neighbours as the villa is private but you are not in the middle of nowhere. Short drive to a large mercadona supermarket. The town of Alhaurin el Grande is bustling and has plenty of shops, restaurants etc. The garden is beautiful well maintained, pretty and large with enough space to find your own little private space. The pool was just the right size for a dip/short swim and the villa has everything you need. Andres is the owner who communicated with us before we arrived and also met us at the villa - he is lovely friendly, accommodating and efficient in replying to messages - thank you!!. We gave him 500 euros deposit cash on arrival, he signed a receipt for payment and arranged to give us back the cash before we left the villa once it had been checked over. We had a lovely time. Thank you.
