Romantic, Private, Peaceful Villa in Gaucin With Breathtaking Views To Morocco
Villa Djebel Musa is a romantic, well maintained, architect-designed villa with an infinity pool. The garden is a mixture of mature exotic palms amongst the rocks as well as wild olives and carobs filled with songbirds on top of a hillside at the southern edge of the pretty 'white village' of Gaucin.
"The best view we have seen in Spain" said one travel company. "A truly stunning property with 'wow factor'!"
Gaucin is 600 metres (2000 ft) above sea level and the secluded villa and pool afford spectacular open views down the Genal River valley to the Mediterranean and North Africa beyond. The altitude moderates temperatures in the summer compared to the coast or inland Spain. There are 3 'fine-dining' restaurants with a walk of less than 10 minutes and several good tapas bars and other restaurants.
The villa has a double-height open-plan living room with a minstrels' gallery leading to a large covered veranda. Through an archway there is dining room which leads to its own covered, outdoor dining terrace.
4 of the 5 bedrooms and the main living rooms have French windows onto their own terrace or balcony and there are other terraces around the garden.
If your dates are not available, we also manage the neighbouring villa which has the same views and an infinity pool. On the VRBO website it is titled "Luxurious, Private, Villa in Gaucin".
A few extra notes: - A gardener visits very early morning in hot weather to water pots, a daily pool-cleaner, a multilingual House Manager and two lovely cleaners. - It has secure off-street parking for 2 cars. Further cars can be easily parked nearby. - The base price indicated per night or week is based on 6 people staying. For each additional person up to a max of 10 there is an extra charge to cover laundry and cleaning. The "Host Fee" in your quote is the final cleaning charge. - Flat screen TV with Internet television & collection of Blu Ray films. - The village centre is only a few minutes walk for tapas, restaurants, shops. - Children are welcome but parents must consider that there are stairs down to the swimming pool and steep drops below the pool so young children will need constant supervision.

Just returned from a wonderful relaxing holiday in this beautiful villa. We were charmed by the village of Gaucín and its fabulous range of bars and restaurants. The villa itself its outstanding with so many different areas in which to sit back and soak in the amazing views. Extremely well maintained and equipped, we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Our hosts Mark and Star were incredibly helpful and kind enough to invite us for drinks in their nearby property, also gorgeous!
Breathtaking views and pure escapism at Villa Djebel Musa
Villa Djebel Musa is a wonderful property and Mark could not have been more helpful with information about the property and Gaucin, prior to and during our stay. We would highly recommend this wonderful villa which offers total escapism and breathtaking views! A wonderful 5* stay.
We had a great week staying at the villa. The views are amazing and we had everything we needed for our holiday. I'd advise any guests with a large car to avoid driving through the village - you can park near the bus stop on the main road and it's less than a 10 min walk.
We had a wonderful time at the house. It is a beautiful location and property. Really stunning and full of personality. Be aware, there are a lot of stairs in the property but we have that at our own home so our young girls weren’t phased and Mark had warned us when booking. Mark was a brilliant host and full of knowledge of the local birds. We have planned a return visit next year!
We loved Christmas 2024 in Gaucin at this lovely home. The property is just sublime, with views that take your breath away.Mark and Star, the owners, were incredibly helpful and thoughtful with their communication - which made our trip to Spain unforgettable. We highly recommend Maria, a personal chef, who is able to prepare special meals at this property.
Gorgeous Spanish style villa, beautifully decorated, very spacious, with a fabulous outdoor dining area and a terrace where you can enjoy the most breath-taking views of the countryside, Gibraltar and Morocco - they are truly stunning. Super pool area and well established gardens ensure you can find sun or shade. The kitchen is to benefit from a refresh this coming Oct/Nov.
Helpful and perfect hosts and housekeeper, thank you Mark, Star and Esther for a wonderful, memorable stay.
Beautiful spanish property stylishly perched on the side of the hill to make the most of the stunning views down to the coast with Morocco beyond. Plenty of space for a group of family and or friends. Wonderful pool also taking advantage of the amazing views. Loved the village and local walks. Thanks Mark & Star
What a lovely villa and surrounding area! Gaucin was the perfect village for our group - within walking distant and a number of fabulous restaurants to choose from with breathtaking views. But I also would have been content to never leave the grounds. Views are stunning and the pool provided a deep, refreshing respite from the summer heat. Mark was a fantastic host and met our every need. I would go back in a heartbeat!
We were very happy to be staying in such a lovely location We all loved the village of Gauchin and the small supermarkets met all our requirements. We drove down to the coast twice to swim in the sea and enjoy the beaches and even got up early to catch a ferry to spend the day in Tangier. As for the house it lived up to all our expectations and the infinity pool was just lovely with lots of shade/sunny spots around the pool. The well stocked garden was a joy to walk around and was tended by a gardener.We would love to come back one day. Thank you Mark for being the perfect host.
We had a magical stay at Mark and Star’s Villa in Gaucin. The pictures do not do the location and views justice, a truly stunning place.
There was ample room for the 8 guests with various spaces to relax, eat and sunbathe, and we particularly enjoyed eating as the sun set on the terrace.
Gaucin is a great place with lots of restaurants and groceries available and we were lucky enough to be at the first food festival held over the weekend.
As with other reviews the are a few things in the villa that could be updated, but this did not deter from the stay.
I really didn’t want leave and to me that says everything about the villa and hosts
Beautiful villa in wonderful mountain village location with stunning views.
We were not disappointed when arriving at the villa. The property is amazing - spacious and beautifully decorated. As a multi-generational family of 9, we had all we could possibly need. Space, great weather - the grandchildren fully enjoyed the pool, wonderful walks and the most breathtaking and stunning views. When not in the water, the children spent their time vulture spotting. Mark is a superb host and helped us source medical care for a family emergency. He responded quickly to emails and was only a phone call away if needed. We certainly all fell in love with the village and I would highly recommend a stay there.
We spent two weeks in October/November 23 in this very beautiful house with view to the coast and on clear days till Marocco and enjoyed our time there very much!! we were a bit unlucky with the wheather (deperately needed rain) but enjoyed the open fire place and the well equipped kitchen; the terrace, the view and the pool on sunny days are just breathtaking. The area is beautiful. If you are up for driving, you can go on stunning excursions - to Grazalema, Zahara, Sétenil, Ronda, the Caminito del Rey and take great walks in the Sierra de Grazalema. Because we liked this mountain area very much, we didn't much go to the coast (just once in two weeks) but rather enjoyed the sunny days by the house.
Both Mark and Esther (the house manager) were very helpful whenever we had questions or needed help with some house management.
Thanks for offering this villa maravilloso up for rent, our group of eight (between 13 and 82) spent happy times here (and there is enough space and privacy for everyone)!!! Gaucín is also a lot of fun to explore, there are many restaurants and tapas bar, even livelier in summer but also in October there were enough opportunities do dine out.
Amazing property in a beautiful spanish mountain village. Both the owners and the property manager were extrmemly reliable. Our messages were answered promptly and any concerns were addressed. The pool and the gardens are stunning! The amount of effort that goes into the upkeep of this property is incredible.
The only downside of the property really is the wifi. The wifi was really only available in the living room, kitchen and balcony adjacent to the dining area. Both bedrooms in the main house were dead zones and the Master bedroom was only a faint signal that kept cutting out. I realize there was a booster but I would highly recommend adding another or reconfiguring the wifi to expand the coverage. If you want to take your property experience next level I would explore options that allow lodgers to access it poolside. I had work emails to respond to and it would ha e been amazing if wifi available by the pool. The only other suggestion would be more lighting by the pool for ambiance. (Consider maybe investing in some solar lights) We added some to my folks backyard and it made all the difference.
With all that said I would still rate the whole experience 4.75 / 5 !
If you want a relaxing experience with an amazing view this property does not disappoint!
The setting, views , terraces and garden are absolutely wonderful and the house very comfortable. Having all of this and being in the village is a real bonus.
Perfect location, fabulous views, well equipped and great support from Mark. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa and recommend it to families looking for a relaxed stay in a Wonderfull village.
Absolutely lovely week in a superb location!The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped … and who wouldn’t to cook and eat in a kitchen diner with that view!Gaucin is peaceful and beautiful village and we visited a couple of excellent restaurants. We enjoyed the location so much that we only ventured out of Gaucin twice! Would absolutely recommend!
Check in was easy. Kitchen facilities were very good and well equipped However some areas of the villa were looking tired and needed freshening up. Bed linen and pillows definitely needs to be renewed
This is a fabulous house with a view to die for. We never go to anywhere twice but have made an exception here. Mark is an incredibly helpful host and Esther, a very responsive house keeper. Gaucin is a perfect town with lovely restaurants and bars. We loved it. It sounds gushing but it really was that good!
Beautiful villa in a beautiful pueblo blanco. A group of 8 of us stayed for four wonderful nights in Gaucin. A perfect reprieve from the world. Everything was perfect: the views, the house, the pool. Thank you
