Villa with Sea and Mountain Views, Private Pool, Games Shack

The Villa Dama De La Sierra is set in a stunning position overlooking some of the prettiest whitewashed villages in Andalusia. Having spectacular views of the mountains and the coast from Malaga Bay in the West to Nerja in the East. As the sun begins to set, you will start to feel the fresher cooler mountain air and as the shadows lengthen, then give way to truly breath-taking sunsets. The villa is situated on the hillside in the National Park on the footpath to La Maroma, at 2069m (6,828ft) the highest peak of the Sierra Tejeda-Almijaral mountain range which towers over the villa. The setting is beautiful, very quiet with no background noise from any roads and is located by the side of a private lane. An ideal base from which to explore the area, go to the beach, walk-in the hills, or just relax by the private pool. Get the barbie on and have a glass of chilled wine with friends and family, you have found paradise.

Lovely Villa with glorious views

We loved our stay in the villa, perfect for a complete wind down with stunning views. The owners have thought of everything and the villa does really feel like a home away from home. Top tip .. due to the villa’s location make sure you hire a car with a decent engine size , our first hire car couldn’t make the final bit of the climb and we ended up going back into Malaga to upgrade it.

Tranquility

The views and area around are what makes this villa a special place, actually breathtaking. Wonderful place to recharge your batteries. We were met in the local village by Simon who we followed to the Villa. I doubt we would have found it otherwise. He will meet you day or night which is a bonus and communicated promptly with us. The roads are a little narrow for the last kilometre or so but you soon get used to it although we didn’t venture out at night. There is a taxi service in the local village which is good for evenings out and a couple of restaurants. Competa isn’t too far, 20-30 minutes and reasonable supermarkets. Best to get your main supplies on the coast before you head up. The villa is well equipped, spacious and clean. It was quite dark inside but ideal in the summer heat I expect and it’s a little tired in parts but that certainly didn’t detract from us enjoying our stay.

Peaceful, well-equipped villa with fantastic views

Quite remote but worth the extra distance. A comfortable, clean and spacious villa with door-step access to the Natural Park. Excellent WiFi coverage and big screen tv for the cooler evenings (with Nexflix). Very prompt and clear communication throughout the booking process, a straightforward meet and greet with Vikki and Simon (who were helpful and responsive throughout) and the bonus of also meeting Anthony and Andrea. For those who enjoy poolside and patio lounging, a suggestion would be to have some slightly more comfortable (i.e. softer) furniture, but not an issue. Highly recommended for an away from it all escape.

Prachtige villa maar soms wat minder weer

De villa zelf zag er uitstekend uit en exact zoals op de foto's. De locatie is echt iets minder prettig, de villa ligt boven op een berg wat betekend dat je elke keer 20 minuten nodig hebt om beneden te komen en waardoor we een aantal dagen bewolking hebben gehad. Verder hebben wij een dag extreme regenval gehad waardoor de waterpomp het niet meer deed. Hierdoor hebben wij een volledige dag geen water gehad en heeft het water het de rest van de dagen af en aan nog gedaan. Onze contactpersoon was hierover moeilijk te bereiken

Magnificant stay

We stayed at the villa for two weeks. It was splendid. The villa has everything you expect (and more). We enjoyed ourselves playing pool, games or swimming and sunbathing. An occasional hike in the backyard is a nice way to be a little active if you would like to be active. The views never stop to amaze and the sunset in the mountains is fabulous. This was one of out best holidays ever.

Pure Bliss

This is the first time I've used homeaway and was originally nervous about whether the property would be as shown. I had no reason to have been worried as it was perfect! Anthony has an amazing piece of Andalucia in Dana De La Sierra 😍 The contact from both Anthony and Vikki (our host in Spain) before we arrived was excellent. They ensured we knew all the plans and had everything we might need. The recommendation to shop before reaching the villa was definitely welcome as we just wanted to relax once we arrived. I honestly can't describe how wonderful this place is, with views you just wouldn't get tired of. We would absolutely recommend this villa especially if you love trail/mountain walks or running. Being on the edge of the national park we got lost for hours exploring. Thank you so much - highly recommended and would return.

Views to die for, roads to die on...

Excellent villa, everything hoped for and more. Pool and table tennis tables well used. Access roads are tough, but it is more the distance to a local shop that makes you careful to make sure you have the essentials. Overall though it is an excellent villa and facilities and beautiful surroundings.

A gem in the mountains

This was a fantastic villa. So spacious with lots of different areas to relax and enjoy the amazing views. The villa was really well equipped - beach towels, shampoo and even suncream. The kitchen was spacious and also really equipped with things like jars of spices and herbs. Really enjoyed doing lots of cooking - the gas bar b q was great too. There were loads of games for the teenagers - badminton, football, basketball. There was a great pool table but we didn’t use it much because it was so hot in the fames shack. WiFi was excellent and we made great use of Netflix. I totally recommend this villa to anyone.

Beautiful villa in the most beautiful location.

From booking to leaving at the end of our stay, I cannot fault this villa. We had the most restful, glorious, joyful time. The days just disappeared in a haze of not doing very much really! This area of Spain, once you get away from the built up coastal areas is truly awesome. We loved the local villages, especially Competa for eating out and morning coffee! The villa is situated a long way up but it took us a matter of days to get familiar with the mountain roads. It was too hot to walk much but I should imagine it is a great walking area. As the villa is secluded it is important to have all you need and this one has it all! From toiletries to cooking staples to games room to every channel you need on the tv! The WiFi was excellent. The pool was cooling. The views never failed to amaze. Thank you Dama de la Sierra we had a ball!

Idylic

My family stayed here for a fabulous week. Yes the drive there was hairy the first time, partly due to a faulty hire car! (Do take out the extra insurance as someone dented our second car with their car door!) When you arrive at the villa you just wanted to stand and look at the amazing scenery. The villa is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Having a 20 year old & 15 year old the all important WiFi was great, better than at home. We brought some dvd’s with us but didn’t use them as Netflix was a great hit in the evenings after some board games. Vikki & Simon who took us to the villa were lovely and full of ideas of where to go and where to eat. They recommended the steakhouse in Archez which was great and also visiting Malaga old town. We loved Frigiliana which is very pretty and we ate lunch listening to a brass band. We loved the peace and quiet and the amazing views and were very sad to be going home, there is something special about sitting on the patio just taking in the scenery. Thank you for having us, I have already recommended the villa to friends and family and we hope to return soon.

Lovely villa and pool

We have had a fantastic week in this lovely villa. Waking up every morning to the beautiful mountains and sea views was a perfect start to the day ! There is plenty to do a great pool and we had lots of fun playing table tennis and pool in the games shack. There are some great restaurants nearby in Canillas de Albaida, Competa and Sayalonga Highly recommend this place!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen und die tolle Umgebung der Finca fĂŒr AusflĂŒge genutzt. Die Finca ist gut ausgestattet und bietet guten Komfort. Der mMn einzige Nachteil der Finca ist die recht lange Anfahrt von der Autobahn. Man muss bei AusflĂŒgen ca. 35min bis zur Autobahn einplanen.

A beautiful well equipped house with spectacular views

The house was wonderful if a little more remote than I had realized. The first car trip out from the house was a little hair raising but we soon got used to the steep winding roads. Our party of 7 adults ranging from 27-62 years made full use of the pool and table tennis as well as strolls in the spectacular national park and exploring local villages . A day also spent on Maro beach and a trip to Granada.. A wonderful time had by all

The villa is superb, lovely views and everything has been thought of to make the stay memorable

Great views, clean and well thought out. The pool was brilliant. Everything in the villa has been though about and it made the stay relaxing and enjoyable. The road up to the Villa seemed a bit of a journey, especially on the dirt track, but once we’d done it once it was fine and gave us the opportunity to enjoy the view as we descended into the local town. The villa was clean and well maintained. The communication not only with Anthony, but with the local lady was superb and made everything from directions to collecting the key and arrival seem effortless.

Perfectly appointed villa with spectacular star gazing

After meeting Vikki and Simon to collect the house keys in nearby Competa, we travelled high up the winding hill side to the most wonderful villa with spectacular views towards the sea and the coast of Morocco. On the edge of the National Park, we enjoyed early morning walks along the easy pathways outside the villa, again taking in beautiful views of the surrounding mountain range. The nearby towns of Archez and Canillas de Albaida had a few lovely restaurants and bars where we ate tapas lunches and steak dinners on a few occasions. Many of our best meals however were spent on the beautiful terrace overlooking the countryside and towns below, watching the spectacular sunsets. The very well equipped kitchen and cooking facility made catering for our party of 9 very easy. The villa and surrounding pool area and gardens are spacious and immaculately maintained. We had great fun with table tennis tournaments and games in the pool. The villa has everything you’d need for a restful and chilled out break. If you are feeling more adventurous, some of our party tried the horse trek from nearby Canillas de Albaida and couldn’t praise it highly enough. Without doubt the highlight of our stay was our nightly viewing of the stars above. We would turn every light in the house off and lie gazing up at the sky for hours at a time...In awe of how clear and spectacular the shooting stars and Milky Way appeared. Communicating with the villa owner Anthony was easy and helpful as were the management company of Vikki and Simon who were a real pleasure to deal with, arranging airport transfers, giving great tips for things to do and keeping the villa looking immaculate. We had the most amazing family holiday with fantastic memories made all the more special by the spectacular location and perfectly appointed villa.

Stunning

As a party of four adults, and three teenagers, we visit this area of Spain every Easter. This was our first stay at this villa and it exceeded all our expectations. It's further up the mountain than we normally go, but we are used to the windy roads and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Located on the very edge of the national park the surrounding scenery is stunning. There are numerous well marked walking routes connecting the numerous tiny villages nestled in the valleys. Apart from the occasional goat bells the location is as peaceful as you can get, a real gem of a place to get away from it all. The surrounding villages all offer restaurants serving fabulous food at incredibly reasonable prices (we did a huge amount of eating out). The villa itself was immaculate and, I feel larger than the photos suggest, there was plenty of room for two families. It was spotless and very well appointed. If we hadn't eaten out so much we would have found everything we needed in the kitchen and all of the little touches inside made it feel like home. The games shack was a huge hit with the kids as was the table tennis table that was in constant use. The villa was the best we have stayed in in all our travels in Spain. It was a pleasure to liaise with Anthony, the owner, who made the stay and arrival at the villa very smooth. The welcoming jug of sangria went down very well. There is no negative criticism I can give to the villa or it's location, it made for the perfect holiday, we had a fabulous time and can't wait to return.
