There are restaurants, tapas and coffee bars, and wonderful views of the mountains surrounding the most beautiful part of the Guadalhorce Valley green all year round with orange and lemon trees. It also enjoys an excellent rail link to Malaga, Cordoba, Sevilla etc. and good motorway links to inland towns of Antequerra, Ronda, and Granada. The historic old town of Málaga is worth a day trip by train, the beaches along the Costa del Sol and the mountains and climbing at El Chorro are all within easy reach by road.

The house has been built to wheelchair standard and wheelchair users are very welcome. The house is in the grounds of the farmhouse where we can offer additional accommodation (with/without breakfast) for larger groups. Or you can rent both houses, giving accommodation for up to 12 people. The ground floor of the farmhouse is also wheelchair friendly. (rates on application). Casa Los Olivos has its own private garden and BBQ area with fabulous views across the valley to the mountains of El Chorro, & large terrace facing the pool area which is now gated for child safety.

We had a fantastic time here so much so that we have been twice and will no doubt return again. Everything is perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. Its in a great spot, being convenient for the town and for the hills and all the walks/climbs. Its everything the ad says but better and I especially love the walk in shower. Our hosts made us feel very welcome, it was home from home but with lovely weather.

We have stayed at Casa Los Olivos twice. This is an excellent property, much better equiped than the information on your website would suggest. A lovely spot, with most helpful and welcoming owners. We cant wait to come back and would not hesitate to reccomend it to all, it is perfect for couples, families with small children, disabled and anyone who wants comfort in a beautiful setting.

Review Submitted: February 6, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
We visited Casa Los Olivos last May in dire need of a holiday. With two small children the word 'holiday' has taken on a new meaning - but I can honestly say we truly relaxed during our stay. The hosts couldn't have done more to make us welcome, already having the 'baby stuff' we needed so we didn't have to lug travel cot etc from England. The accomodation is spotless, and being on one level ideal for small children (the pool is very well secured with a locked gate for which we had a key - so no fears with the kids there). It is very comfortable with proper size beds and no cheap towels or linen!
We enjoyed some fantastic meals cooked by our hosts and they had the great skill of just being around enough, but also giving us a sense of privacy. The villa and its grounds are very spacious - its great having more than one bathroom. The surrounding area is delightful and we enjoyed some good meals in the local town as well as the beach restaurants.
Highly recommended.

Eine unserer schönsten Reisen. Ein toller Ausgangspunkt, um viele Ziele in Andalusien zu erreichen. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und bietet viel Ruhe und Erholung. In der nahen Umgebung großartige Wandermöglichkeiten. Helen und Alan sind sehr nett und immer hilfsbereit. Und Prinzessin Lola nicht wegzudenken!
Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Domizil, wunderschön gelegen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
Thanks a lot for all!!
