About this villa rental
"Villa Zalia", Andalusia, is part of a small collection of stylish holiday homes of the Zalia Retreats' portfolio.
This private pool villa above the white village of Alcaucín, in the hills of Málaga province, is hard to leave. It suits couples after a peaceful Andalucian escape and families who want a pool, space and plenty to do nearby. Sleeps 4.
It's cool in summer thanks to air conditioning and cosy in winter with heating and a wood-burning stove, so it's a year-round holiday home. The living space is light and airy, opening onto a sunny terrace set for outdoor meals and sunbathing and offering some of the best sunsets I have seen.
For families
Large private pool, with space for lengths or a relaxed float
Alcaucín's play area and basketball court are close by
El Ingenio shopping centre, with a cinema and the Aqua Vélis water park, is 20 minutes away
Free Wi-Fi throughout the villa and by the pool
Beaches with full facilities 20 minutes by car, with quieter coves further along the coast
For couples
Terrace dining with hillside views, in a peaceful rural setting
Wander Alcaucín's narrow streets for local bars, restaurants and small shops
Day trips to Granada and the Alhambra, Málaga and the Museo Picasso, and Ronda above its spectacular gorge
Ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon: the Sierra Nevada, mainland Europe's most southerly ski centre, is two hours away
Bedrooms
Double with ensuite wet room
Twin (or double) with a second large wet-room
Setting
The hillside is landscaped with local cacti, poppies and boulders. Málaga Airport is about an hour's drive.
Tourist registration number: VTAR/MA/02408

What an amazing villa, awesome location and stunning views, simply incredible
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
The villa is located in the mountains and is extremely private and remote. The villa is well equipped and Frank is an excellent house manager, nothing is too much trouble.
The views are amazing across the valley.
The kitchen and lounge area are spacious and the bedrooms very comfortable with good linen and king size beds.
I would advise renting a 4x4 to get to the villa as the last section is on unmade roads and very set to hills with a drop either side.
Nothing is particularly close which is the charm of this place so stock up at Eroski hyper market before you get there.
We would definitely come again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
The villa is great, lot of attention to detail, if you would like to rest or disconnect this is your place.Being on the top of a mountain means that you will need to drive up, access is ok but on windy gravel roads, as a improvement note instructions on how to get there are missing on the welcome pack. Big thanks to Frank for his warm welcome and being so nice and always available.

Villa de rêve, confortable, spacieuse, propre, superbes vues ... rien à redire pour cela.
Mais l'accès est très difficile et dangereux.
