Family holiday

We all really enjoyed our stay. There were 7 adults and 3 children aged 5,4 & 3. The villa was spotlessly clean and well equipped mostly few niggles - there are 8 pool towels and there were 10 of us. Vrbo states plug adaptors are available, but there were none there, so we ended up sharing which was not ideal. It was very difficult to do the expected cleaning before leaving when you have an early flight. The hosts are exceptional and communication was brilliant. Overall it was a fab holiday and I would recommend.

Amazing place to stay

If you are looking for relaxing holiday in a very well equipped villa then this is the place to stay. It had everything you could possibly want especially for children. We took our 15 month grandson and he had a great time. It was so secure for him and we never had to worry about the pool or him escaping! Hosts communications were excellent with all the information and directions we needed. Cannot recommend enough.

A piece of heaven

Previous reviews did not exaggerate how idillic villa Amarilla is. It definitely is a very difficult task to explain in words. Good value for money doesn’t describe it, Brilliant, attentive and caring hosts falls short of a decent description. Do get a 4x4 as the last 15 seconds of your journey do definitely demand it. And Comares, well, it is right out of a south Spanish fairytale, the locals, the food, the scenery… I am definitely coming back, with friends this time, too greedy to want it all to myself. Too beautiful not to share.

Best First holiday

The villa was amazing and Samantha and Frederick were very helpful. They set up the stair gates ready for our arrival. The whole villa is very child friendly, with a gate to the pool and gate to the little shaded play area. They even had a little cupboard with toys for my 2 and 4 year old boys to play with. It was super clean and tidy when we arrived. And we loved cooking in the outdoor kitchen. It was also super quiet in the mountains and the view was spectacular. Such a great first family holiday 😍 thank you. Lisa and Simon (stayed in first week of may)

Perfect cottage for children and family groups

I could not believe how well equipped for children this cottage was. It just had everything you needed and made packing so much easier as we barely needed to take anything! The outside area was just incredible and it was nice to be able to just let the kids play outside and relax knowing they were safe. The communication from the hosts was brilliant nothing was too much trouble. The only thing I would say was that it was a bit more remote than we were expecting, perfect for a complete break from people though. The weather sadly wasn't that kind to us at first (great place for watching thunderstorms though) which meant we couldn't just let the kids roam outside and play and we had to leave the villa to find things to keep them entertained and most places for kids are on average an hour or more drive away down very windy mountain roads. So a lot of time was spent in the car for us although our kids sleep as soon as we go in the car so not a huge issue. But worth knowing if you are wanting to go off places rather than stay at the villa for the whole week. Also do not use Google maps when driving it sends you down some awful 'roads', I would recommend using Waze app. Must better routes provided and more accurate! All in all a very relaxing holiday and thank you so much Samantha and Fred.

Perfect family holiday location - couldn't ask for more!

It's always really hard picking a destination for a family holiday but from the outset, this property looked and felt special. As a family of four (two children 12 and 10) we were very excited to arrive at the villa. Samantha's correspondence the week before and up to the point of checking in, couldn't have been any more informative or helpful; always a huge bonus when you're putting your trust in someone ultimately to provide a family holiday experience. The property was so much more than we could have asked for. It was clean, spacious, thought-out and the complimenting outdoor areas were the cherry on top. The outdoor kitchen area with gas-plancha provided the ultimate culinary experience for my husband who loved cooking both breakfast and evening meals on it for the family. The outdoor bar area and seating area allowed us to feel like we were in a fun family restaurant but without the crowds or the wait for the drinks and great food to keep coming! Meanwhile the two covered areas (ground and first-floor level) provided calmer, covered spaces for time out of the sun in the mid-day heat or for adult drinks within ear shot of the kids settling down for the night. Even though we were a family of four, the space felt perfect and comfortable for us to enjoy and there is no doubt a larger group/family staying here would feel as comfortable. Every part of this property/holiday destination has been well considered and it made our holiday so much more relaxed and enjoyable as a result. The outdoor shower was a lovely bonus as was the outdoor laundry space/toilet (what parent/adult doesn't love a 14 minute washing setting so you can wash towels and swimming costumes and have them dry within half an hour in the hot Spanish sun, ready to go again?!). The seating areas, play areas (for smaller children ) and garden space were all maintained and allowed for our children to safely go and have 'time out' without us worrying about their safety, such was the layout, gates and tasteful security/design of the property's garden/exterior (again, key for any parent and their peace of mind). The bedrooms and bathroom spaces were all clean and easy to use/settle into; the kitchen had everything with great utensils for dining in and out and the living/dining space allowed for comfortable and 'homely' downtime in the evening. Family holiday homes like Villa Amarilla are rare but incredibly special and as such we have already booked again for next year!

Beautiful location and great villa with all you need for great holidays! Great for children.

Our stay at the villa was amazin, children very happy as a lot to do for them - shady areas, swimming pool, toys and games! Absolutely beautiful mountain view 360 degrees. Swimming pool not heated but still very nice refreshing water in hot days. We have paid for pool and tennis table, used pool table but tennis table not really recommended as not in good condition and location. The biggest disappointment for the BBQ, we love to have BBQ on holidays but this one was very small, charcoal and dirty, needed to purchase special trays to put on top and used it only once. Apart from that all was great!

Wonderful villa with amazing views!

We stayed here for 2 weeks with 5 adults and 2 children (2 year old and 4 month old). The villa is in a lovely peaceful setting with amazing views over the surrounding mountains. The best part for us was all the child friendly features, activities and toys provided which kept our 2 year old safe and entertained. Samantha’s communication before the holiday was great and John the greeter was very helpful and friendly. It is quite a remote location (which we loved)?however not too far away from Comares to get to the local shop and a few bars and restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely recommend this villa and would love to return in the future! Thanks

Fantastic villa up in the hills. Everything was absolutely brilliant. Great pool, beautiful surroundings, if you want a quiet peaceful get away then you won’t beat this villa. bedrooms get quite hot apart from the one with full air conditioning, the other upstairs bed room just have ceiling fans but even so not too bad. The living room and kitchen downstairs has full air con. Kitchen is well stocked with pot, pans plates and glasses and with a massive fridge. Outside the pool is great with plenty of sun beds but no umbrellas. I highly recommend this VIlla and would return in a heartbeat

Great family holiday.

We rented this property for a family week away for 9 of us - 7 adults and 2 children. Correspondence with Samantha prior to our arrival was always prompt and very helpful. Directions were spot on. We stopped at El Ingenio shopping centre on the way to stock up on groceries. Last part of journey was very scenic and glad we did it in daylight not only to appreciate the views but also to negotiate the steep windy road! Nowhere near as bad though as some other reviews have suggested. The road down to the villa could certainly do with improving as surface is very uneven with deep potholes. Driveway is fine just quite a tight bend. We had 2 cars and managed no problem at all. Villa was extremely clean on arrival and certainly had the wow factor. Views are amazing and grounds are very well kept with lots of different areas to relax. Plenty of toys for children and very safe for them with pool area and play area fenced off. Sun beds weren’t the most comfortable and a couple of them had broken slats and recliners. We improvised however with towels and cushions! BBQ and bar area is fab as is the outside lighting. Loved the balcony from the master bedroom. Great for watching the sun rise with a coffee and for cooling off in the evening as most nights there was a very welcoming slight breeze. Indoors all facilities are of high standard. Plenty communal space and a well equipped kitchen. Only downside internally is the lack of air conditioning in 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Master was perfect but the other 3 rooms were hot at night despite following all the recommendations. The local bar/restaurant El Molino is great value for money and only a short walk away. We drove to Comares every morning for fresh bread and to stock up on food and drink. Shop is like an Aladdin’s cave and excellent quality. We walked to Comares a couple of nights for dinner. Took about 25 mins and there was no guilt about eating pudding! We had a fabulous break and thoroughly recommend this villa to families who want to get away from the hussle, bussle of busy resorts.

Loved it !!!

From the moment the booking was taken , Samantha (owner) could not have been more helpful or responsive ! No question or query was too trivial and she went out of her way to provide us with local taxi numbers and additional info . On arrival , we were met by John the greeter who again, was super friendly and helpful . The villa was beautiful - bigger and better than the photos portray and the view was to die for ! It was also spotlessly clean .... I can genuinely say there are no faults with this villa . If you like rural locations that are not touristy at all , then this is a must ! I was one of a party of five and we all fell in love with Comares .... one supermarket (small) one tobacconist and a restaurant and a couple of pubs and that’s it ! The friendliest people .... the supermarket staff phoned taxis for us and then pushed our trollies out the back for us so we could be picked up as well ! We walked to Comares from the villa one day and it did take around 20 minutes , but definitely didn’t take as long as we were expecting . I would recommend this villa to all - you seriously will not be disappointed and I would not hesitate to rebook !!!

Outstanding villa in a beautiful mountain location

The villa was well equipped for our group of 7 adults and a toddler. Safety gates in all the important places. Outstanding location for a peaceful holiday, quite remote however of you are after something more lively, there were couple of restaurants in short driving distance. Excellent pool with outstanding views. Organisation and communication with the owner Samantha was very straightforward and always prompt. Highly recommended for a family holiday

Why they chose this property

Our land was purchased by my Husband and I with the intention of building (together) our very own Spanish villa in this beautiful unspoiled part of Spain.

We spent just under a year lovingly building our villa, it took lots of blood, sweat, tears and a strong marriage and friendship to make Villa Amarilla what it is today.

My husband has been building for over 50 years and I have spent a good 30 years learning the trade whether I wanted to or not, as it happens, I loved it!

We pride ourselves on keeping the villa to a high standard thus making sure that every one of our guests has the same experience during their stay at Villa Amarilla.

Come enjoy, and relax, Villa Amarilla awaits you!

What makes this property unique

The villa we built together can now be enjoyed by not just ourselves but anyone who would like to get away from it all to relax, having special moments with family and friends. More now than ever!!

We hope that if you decide to stay at the villa that you will enjoy the fantastic, beautiful un-spoilt surroundings with unbelievable, uninterrupted panoramic views, The nearest village to the villa is Comares which is very pretty and steeped in history, well worth a visit and is less than a 4-minute drive from the villa, the people there are friendly and very welcoming.

Guests can enjoy the villa inside and outside and all that the villa's facilities have to offer them during their stay.

We think that the villa is an excellent getaway for everyone, including families with children and the villas decor gives a feeling of homeliness’ with a bit of luxury and comfort, including your own private swimming pool it would be a great holiday experience for anyone looking for a holiday villa in this part of sunny Spain.

Villa Amarilla awaits you!
