Beautiful rural villa with charm, character, incredible views and stunning pool

This beautiful, rural villa is situated inland, in the Axarquia area of Malaga province, Andalucia. Casa Belmonte has been renovated imaginatively in a rustic yet modern style with plenty of attention to detail. The property faces south and sits in a commanding position overlooking Lake Vinuela. The tranquil location features a fabulous 9m x 4m private salt-water pool with a large sunbathing area, open views and a shaded summer terrace with dining for 11 guests & a built in BBQ . There are other terraces too - a vine covered terrace by the kitchen/diner, a Spanish style walled patio that leads to a roof terrace (perfect for star gazing! ) are amongst some of the outdoor areas.
The cool, light, spacious house has 5 double bedrooms and 4 lovely shower rooms. All full of character. The 5 bedrooms are air conditioned for extra comfort in the summer months. A beautiful home from home for up to 11 guests. There is a large family kitchen/diner and a luxurious sitting room with satellite TV and south facing views. The mature gardens and vine covered terraces that surround the property offer many places to relax and unwind in or out of the sun. Play table tennis, darts or boules.

We were a party of 8 including 3 of my four children aged 19 to 26 years old and girlfriends. The property was absolutely stunning and far more spacious than the pictures indicate! My eldest arrived first. We got lost arriving in the middle of the night but that is the beauty of the place - remote, yet accessible to villages with well stocked supermarkets and even walking distance to a bar/restaurant. He took me on a tour of the property and we had to go around 3 times to take in all the rooms, terraces and seating areas to take in the enormity of the property. All of the rooms were air- conditioned which was brilliant and 2 have their own en-suites. The kitchen was so well equipped that we cooked and ate in every night, enjoying the different terraces to watch the sunset or admire the pool. The pool was perfect and simply the best with its sloping sides. The owners have worked hard to create a perfect outdoor setting including a beer fridge, and beautiful planting - admired by my architect son. If you are reading this and looking for a spacious place with room for lots of family and add ins don’t hesitate to book - you won’t be disappointed.

Casa Belmonte is a secluded and charming home-from-home, situated in a delightful garden with stunning views. We, a group of nine ranging from 6 to 73, spent a lovely fortnight here and were very sad to leave. The photographs of the property don't fully capture quite how lovely the grounds of the property are, nor how stunning the views are. Each of the bedrooms is decorated in an individual and quirky style, and there was quite a lot of competition among our group to secure our personal favourites! The rooms really suited our group, but it's worth knowing that the room with the double and single bed is separated from the kitchen by curtains rather than a door, which may be an issue if there are a combination of early risers and light sleepers in the group. The villa is wonderfully quiet and isolated, but is only a 15-minute drive from a well-stocked supermarket, bakery, and cafe-bars. We found the villa well situated for excursions to Ronda, Granada, Nerja, Antequera, El Torcal, and other destinations. We were virtually untroubled by mosquitos, which was a big bonus, but the rural setting does mean there are some fascinating animals and insects to see (including a scorpion, centipede, geckos, and chameleons, not to mention the villa's resident cats). Hilary and Rob were perfect and accommodating hosts and it was a real pleasure to spend two very memorable weeks in their beautiful property. There are some adults' and childrens' books in English, and a selection of games in the villa, that kept us happily entertained when not cooling off in the pool or out exploring the region.

Hilary’s place is absolutely incredible - surrounded by the most beautiful views. Hilary was always available to answer any queries and the villa was filled with all the best amenities. Highly recommend and would love to go back!

We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in het huis in Alcaucin. Het ligt prachtig in de bergen maar niet te eenzaam. Leuke dorpjes in de buurt en ook het strand is heel goed te doen voor een dagje. Prachtige wandeling (Sedella) hebben we gemaakt en op een enorme hangbrug gestaan!! Aanrader. Het huis heeft allerlei plekjes om te zitten, je kan de zon op zoeken maar ook de schaduw. IJskastje en bbq bij het zwembad, heel gezellig. Na het eten sprongen de jongens (17,17,16,14,14 jaar) het zwembad nog even in. Binnen ook alles goed verzorgd en ruime keuken. En de poesjes die we mochten verzorgen! Zo lief zijn ze. De pingpong tafel is ook goed gebruikt, erg leuk al die extra's. Onze enige persoonlijke noot zijn de bedden. We lezen er niets over in andere reviews dus het kan heel verschillend zijn voor mensen. Wij vinden 1.40 m breed geen tweepersoons bedden. En de lengte van 1.90 is ook niet zo royaal voor mannen/jongens van 1.85 m en langer. Als de bedden gewoon 1.80x2.00 zouden zijn, is het een 5 sterren plus huis.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe our holiday! We have never stayed in such a perfect house in such a perfect location. We had a number of mishaps en route (lost ID card, stolen driving licence etc!) and found ourselves without a hire car for our 2 weeks holiday. This could have ended up in disaster, but thanks to Hilary and Rob's help we found a great local taxi (a big thanks to Eve ) and spent a wonderful 2 weeks just relaxing in their beautiful house, admiring the views...and what views. The house is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures and we spent 2 weeks soaking in the sun and admiring the great attention to detail in both the house and garden. The pool was perfect, the dart board and ping pong table meant we all had loads of fun and the shaded terrace meant we could read peacefully whilst profiting from the views. Even my 15 year old son said he'd never had so much fun on holiday! The local village Puente, 10 minutes drive away in the valley, has everything you need food-wise and a great shop selling all sorts of bits and bobs for amusement. There are a couple of very nice local restaurants to give you a break from cooking every night. We cannot wait to come again to explore what we missed this time! A huge thank you to Hilary and Rob.

We had a wonderful two week stay in Rob and Hilarys' beautiful home up on the mountainside. The views were stunning, the villa was perfect for our family holiday with 10 month granddaughter. Very spacious and thoughtfully decorated, comfortable and extremely relaxing. Lovely to feed the chickens and collect eggs, the pool was gorgeous and relaxing to swim and look out over the valley. The rooftop was a little oasis to watch the sun come up or view the stars and the courtyard was abundant in jasmine and the smell just intoxicating. We had a really good time, thank you.

We (10 friends) stayed in casa belmonte for 1 week in June. The house was spacious, and had everything we could possibly need - everything from cooking equipment to games (particularly enjoyed twister). The pool was lovely and views from the terrace and all round the house were spectacular, looking over the nearby hills of the national park, the lake and the sea in the distance. Fantastic star gazing at night. Hilary and Rob were very helpful in meeting us on arrival, and were easily contactable. It was a fantastic place to relax with friends. The area is very remote, up on a hill with incredible views. We hired cars and drove from Malaga airport which was a straightforward drive (until the very last bit where Hilary met us to show us to the house). It was so lovely exploring the local area - we visited a few small villages as well as the very beautiful national park for a walk. It's also only 35mins drive to the coast if you fancy a beach day. We cannot recommend this property enough, it is such a beautiful place to stay!
