Fantastic Half Term Week
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.

The Pictures Don't Lie...
Just left Marc and Pippa’s place after an 11 night stay with my wife and father-in-law. Everything was exactly as described and communication with Marc was excellent. The road up, as mentioned in a couple reviews, is somewhat daunting the first time, but you do get used to it. And it really is the only way you'd get to experience the incredible views the villa provides. The villa itself is wonderfully outfitted, very spacious and the pool is spectacular. We did a couple of day trips down to Malaga and Algarrobbo and had a couple of dinners in Sayalonga, but basically spent the bulk of our time just hanging out by the pool not wanting to go anywhere... Thanks again for everything Marc!

Really well presented and the house has basically everything you could need The view is as good as all of the previous reviews claim and the pool area is perfect The road up is a bit tricky at first (to navigate) but once you’ve been up once it’s fine Communication with first class Would happily recommend Would recommend taking a decent quality mosquito repellent (to the area in general not just the house)

Fabulous Family holiday
WOW breathtaking views. Villa delivered on all aspects. You will find yourself never wanting to leave, already planning your return. We loved the outdoor dinning, watching the spectacular sunsets. Great place, great nearby activities,great host. Fabulous holiday!! its so much more than you think it will be. We particularly enjoyed morning’s round the pool, afternoons on the beach, evening’s around the villa. Amenities - Lidl supermarket a short drive away, but try the fabulous local butcher next door for your BBQ. Out and about you are just spoilt for choices of what to do during your stay from beach to exploring mountain villages. My children aged 14,16 and 18 enjoyed the kayaking on Nerja beach. Activity floats on the sea in Torre de Mar. Sayalonga Village has a lovely atmosphere. Restaurant,Bakery,pharmacy and small shop. However - I can’t say enough!! nothing beats just been at the villa, enjoying at nature at its best with your family. Thank you for a wonderful stay. See you again. Note: we arrive in the dark, map was easy to follow. Completed no problems.

Superb villa with stunning views
We are a family of 5 adults and had a wonderful 8 nights in this beautiful villa. It was wonderfully clean and fully equipped and furnished to a very high standard. The pool was a good size and there was a selection of shaded areas to relax and take in the stunning views of both coast and mountains. So tranquil yet only a short drive to beach/supermarket. Just be aware the road up to the villa is not for the faint hearted but you get used to it! Hire a car with a bit of oomph and not too low a suspension! Communication with the owner was excellent with very fast response times. Can highly recommend.

Great Villa
We stayed in The Villa for 10 days and we really didn't want to leave. It was very well stocked, and a real bonus to have some essentials ready for us when we arrived. The pool was the best we've had for a long time clean and decent length. The villa was clean spacious and with some amazing views all the way to the coast. Our host was to notch and always answered quickly. There are lots of areas to relax in and outside, so even with 3 kids it was a chilled holiday. All round beautiful villa with great pool.

Heavenly villa
Villa was just amazing. Views for miles. Pool area was a fantastic sun trap. House was clean and well supplied. Excellent welcome folder with information. Was travelling with parents and three children, plenty of space for everyone, multiple seating areas inside and out. Village at bottom of the hill was lovely. Great food, friendly people. Mountains were beautiful and nice to drive around. Villa just 15 min from ocean and Lidl. Drive up the hill was daunting the first time but once we knew the way was easy. We hired a polo and got up no problems. Absolutely recommend this villa, hope to go back again in the future.

Serenity uncovered
We had booked the Villa some 10 months ago and have been really looking forward to it. Communication with the host was fantastic - little pointers to make the holiday even better. Read some of the comments about the drive up to the Villa, having now done it, wouldn't worry about it. Once you get to the Villa you just enjoy the house, the grounds the pool. On many occassions we spoke about how quiet it was, hearing a dog bark on one of the other hills just helped with the serenity of the place. Would we go back, absolutely. Thank you for making a one week holiday feel a lot longer...

Outstanding property, excellent views, fantastic management
From initial enquiry through to checking out at the end of our week it’s been a pleasure to deal with Marc and stay at the Casa. The photographs do not do the space and view justice, it’s just wonderful. Marc was a pleasure to deal with, easy to contact (not that we needed to), and the villa itself was spotlessly clean, and a real gem. The location is fantastic, it is up in the hills with superb views, wonderfully peaceful, and a lovely pool terrace to while away the days. The location to amenities is great - 20 mins to Lidl and the beach, 30 mins to the water park and a big Eroski, 40 mins to Nerja, and 50 mins from Malaga airport. Heartily and truly recommended.

Left Villa halfway through stay
Amazing Views, Great pool. However! Road up to the Villa is truly awful. Have been renting in Sayalonga/Competa area for last ten years, this is the worst road up to a Villa I have experienced. Advice would be Rent a 4x4, do not arrive in the dark and make as few trips as possible up and down the hill. The lack of Insect screens on windows (only three in the whole Villa, all broken) and no Insect curtains on the doors made getting air into the house challenging during both daytime and evening. Due to the absence of Insect screens we did not want to open the shutters and doors, so the house was very dark and very hot, daytime and evenings. Considering there is no air con, the fans in the Villa were inadequate. Ceiling fans in two of the bedrooms did not work. One bedroom did not have one. Desk fans were provided, but were dirty and not big enough. Insect nets over the beds, were dirty and worn with holes and rips. So were ineffective. We do not usually have a problem with the bugs in Spain, but in the evenings outside the Villa the bugs were a problem for all. A few plumbing issues, a leaking toilet and poor drainage in main en-suite. Downstairs en-suite had problem with drains, omitting awful smell which made bathroom unusable and bedroom very unpleasant to sleep in. As a family of five, for us the lack of effective shaded areas around the Villa was a problem. Making it difficult to take refuge from the sun outside in the daytime. We were due to stay for two weeks but left after one week. Based on our experience we would not recommend the Villa

Amazing Views
Stunning location but road up was very scary. I got used to it in the end but my advice would be get all provisions for your stay before heading up the hill. I was very disappointed with the lack of air con - my bad for not reading particulars and I feel that did not give us the full enjoyment of the house because we did not want to open the shutters because of the heat so the house was very dark. Unfortunately the fans were just not up to scratch - in the evenings it was cooler outside than in but the problem was bugs - they love our skin. Was not aware of plumbing issues not come across this in Spain for a long time but it is what it is. The accommodation was lovely both in and out. The loungers at pool could do with replacing - couple broken but that easily fixed along with parasol. Kitchen had everything you need for your stay. Pool was great and we spent most of our days there playing, swimming and soaking up the sun.

We loved this little slice of heaven. The climate did not cooperate with our plans, however the house was a wonderful oasis. The road is quite treacherous coming in tired and late at night, however so worth it when you make it to the top. The views are phenomenal. Marc went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Mesón Morisco Was wonderful for a birthday meal as well, if you like steak!

Outstanding views from beautiful villa
We stayed in this beautiful villa in November. Generally the house was amazing and well appointed. We had some rainy days as can be expected in this time of year. The heating is only provide for the living room. Road up to the villa remains a challenge but is acceptable with a good quality car. We rented a BMW X1 (not a 4 wheel drive) that did the job just fine. Nice walking route from Sayalonga. The location is very good: right in the middle of national park near Cómpeta( nice village!) as well as the coast region (Nerja, Torrox, Malaga).

This is our third stay at Casa Los Picos. The villa is beautifully appointed with a new kitchen and outside dining and sitting area with beautiful views! 2 bedrooms now have en-suites. It is a wonderful family villa with privacy, peace and tranquility. The owners have made many special touches in all the rooms and this makes the stay so enjoyable and ‘home from home’. There are lovely restaurants in the village and everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend this villa - thank you so much to the owners for enabling another fantastic holiday!

Fabulous family Easter break
We have just returned from a week at Marcus and Pippa’s villa - myself, my husband and 2 girls aged 4 and 5. The house is fantastic and has everything you need. The swimming pool was a big highlight, with our girls using it almost every day (be warned, it takes some courage to get in at first as it was pretty chilly!) The location is beautiful, and designed to keep the house cool even on hot days. This meant that on cooler days we had log fires going in the evening, which was lovely and cosy. The beach and supermarkets are about 25 mins away, but to be honest we spent most of our time at the villa, with one or two trips out to explore. Marcus was a lovely host and kept in touch well throughout the week. We’ve already discussed returning. Thank you!

Our stay in Cas Los Picos
This is a lovely holiday home my Grand Children would say the pool was the high light . We arrived in a VW caravel van and the drive up from Sayalonga was guite an experience and a bit hair raising . The temperature for the whole week was 30 c + and sleeping at nights was difficult with the lack of air con . We loved staying hear the views are stunning and the property was well equipped for all our needs. It took us a while before we started to beat the ants in the kitchen,. I would recommend this villa and I understand it is constantly being upgraded. Thank you Marcus and Pippa from all my family for a great week

Beautiful relaxing stunning Villa set within wonderful private grounds.
Sayalonga and surrounding area, wow utterly stunning. We arrived in the car park in the village of Sayalonga and studied the map again before we set off on phase 2 of the journey. The instructions read `keep going up, if at any time you go down you have gone wrong` this is all the info you need, you keep going up the mountain for 6 – 7 minutes and the road stops outside Casa Los Picos. We could see the villa and some of the gardens through the wrought iron gates and it looked amazing. We let ourselves into the villa where an unexpected and fabulous large welcome bowl of fresh local produce including wine and water was prepared for us, great start we thought. The rooms were spotlessly clean, homely and welcoming. All the facilities you need are in the property if you want cook there is good cooker/oven and hob. A washing machine, dishwasher large fridge and separate large freezer etc... TV, dozens of DVD`s, Wi-Fi and sky TV. Very tasteful decor with lots of attention to detail. A gas powered BBQ and solid fuel BBQ are found outside. We finished exploring the inside of the house and headed out to discover the fantastic gardens, patios and pool area. We enjoyed our stay at this villa so very much, and just loved the peaceful surroundings, the total quiet at night, the views, the amazing views and sunsets at 648m above sea level are second to none. The wonderful large pool and sunbathing area is private and perfectly fit for purpose and is complemented with exquisite outdoor eating area. Although the Bedrooms do not have Air Conditioning they do have ceiling fans which work well but I guess at the height of the summer months AC would be a welcome addition to a perfect retreat. We will definitely go back and explore more of those beautiful surrounding mountains and valleys, with their little villages and fabulous country restaurants. Shaun & Bridget

The villa has amazing views, very well equipped, clean and a fantastic pool.

Erholsamer Urlaub in spektakulärer Kulisse
Das Ferienhaus hatte alles was man braucht, genügend Platz drinnen und draußen. Es ist mir sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet undman kann viel entdecken. Man findet auch immer ein schattiges Plätzchen, wo angenehm der Wind weht und man hat immer einen fantastischen Blick entweder auf das Mittelmeer oder die umliegenden Berge. Der Poolbereich ist mega!!! Wir haben abends viel gegrillt (man hat die Wahl: Holzkohle oder Gas) und haben es sehr genossen draußen zu sitzen. Ob der Blick zum Meer oder über die Berge, es war einfach toll. Wenn man den Weg nach oben einmal gefahren ist, hat man sich auch daran gewöhnt. So schlimm wie manche es beschrieben haben, ist es nicht. Man soolte nur keinen tiefergelegten Sportwagen ausleihen. ("Abenteuerlich" beginnt doch erst, wenn Allrad erforderlich ist, oder?). Uns hat es auch nicht gestört, dass es keine Klimaanlage gab (wir haten bis zu 36 Grad). Über die Ventilatoren wurde es auch sehr angenehm. Insgesamt hatten wir sehr erholsame und tolle Tage. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen. wie manche es

Das Haus ist einfach ein Traum. So viele liebevolle Details und der Ausblick, der Pool lassen diesen Urlaub einfach unvergesslich werden. Abgesehen von der doch ziemlich abenteuerlichen Auffahrt war der komplette Aufenthalt einfach bombastisch. Man könnte sicherlich auch negative Sachen finden Aber gibt es das nicht überall. Ein Problem in Spanien ist die Wassernot. Auch Insekten sind nicht zu verachten. Dies alles ist aber zu vernachlässigen, bei diesem Aufenthalt in dem tollen Haus. Wir werden wiederkommen.
