About this house rental
Our family resides on the same property, in the main house.
We have two houses for rent in this agricultural property, each one totally independent and with its own large private terrace.
The swimming pool and the tennis court are shared by those who occupy these two houses, but all the other equipment is totally individual.
It would be interesting to rent both houses by the same family or group of friends if you want to have exclusive use of the pool or the tennis court.
This is a peaceful and quiet place, away from the noise of the city, but only five to ten minutes from one of the main arteries of Malaga, close to the beaches which have places where you can play beach volleyball and football, as well as an area of typical fish restaurants.Only 15 minutes from the historical, commercial and cultural centre of the city. The city of Malaga is an outbreak of colour, light, music and joy when their celebrations of Carnivals, Holy Week, Festivity of San Juan, Festivity of Our Lady Virgen del Carmen, Malaga Fair, City's Patron Saints' Days, Christmas are celebrated. And in where their folkloric gastronomy (tapas), customs and traditions like the flamenco one can be known first hand.
A fast and easy access to the Barcelona-Cadiz freeway, which allows you to visit the surrounding villages of our province (Ronda, Nerja, Marbella, Antequera, etc.) and also Granada, Córdoba, Sevilla and Cádiz.

Traditional house with superb amenities and very helpful hosts
4.9
We had a wonderful time at Finca Santa Matilde. The house is situated on a hill surrounded by Mango trees with a beautiful view. The owners were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. A special thank you to Matilde who speaks very good english and gave us so many good ideas of where to go to learn more about Malagas history. We stayed for a whole month and enjoyed every minute.

We spent a week at Finca Santa Matilde in September with our young children and their grandparents. The reception from Juan Carlos was fantastic, he met us at the local supermarket to make sure we would find the house and access it properly. Around a 20 minute drive from Malaga city, you will need a car to get about (I wouldn’t fancy walking the hill to the local Aldi!!) but the distance means you get a location that is an absolute antidote to the stress and bustle of city living. The space is fantastic, with large terraces, a swimming pool and a tennis court. The houses are well equipped- we rented both together and moved between the two via a joined terrace. It was beautiful watching the sun go down over the hills with a glass of wine. Our 3 year old loved the pool, the swing, seeing the ducks (and the neighbours escaped pig!). The grandparents spotted wild pigs and we saw lots of bats in the evening. As a location for a holiday where you want to relax, not worry about ‘doing things’ or use as a base for walks around the Malaga mountain range Finca Santa Matilde would be perfect. The hosts are brilliant and as an example, we left an item at the house which Matilde has now posted to our current location (we stayed as part of a longer Spanish road trip). We all thoroughly recommend the property and the hosts.

Great views from relaxing house
Spent a lovely week here, enjoying the beautiful views from the shaded terrace. Everything was very clean. Matilde was really helpful, always on hand to ask if we needed anything, and providing information and advice. It was great having a pool in such hot weather. It's 2m deep, but our 9 yr old made the best of it. We took the bus into Centro a couple of times, which was easy and took about 20 min. Juan Carlos met us to guide us to the house for the last leg which was welcome as I think we might have struggled as the surrounding area is very steep, narrow and winding roads. The road up to the house is also slightly tricky to navigate.

The property was beautiful and private w/just a short ride to town but the road in was a little hard to traverse. We enjoyed the pool and patio and all the beautiful flowers. The owners were very responsive and kind.

This is a wonderful property. It’s well maintained and super clean. There is huge private terrace providing sun all day if required but there is also a shady pergola. We didn’t use the swimming pool but it looked very inviting and well maintained. There are plenty of sun beds available. All necessary equipment was provided in the house.
Although it is only 15 minutes from Malaga city we found it very useful to have hired a car as the property is in the hills. Juan Carlos kindly guided us to it on arrival..
Juan Carlos and Matilde were ever present via WhatsApp for any requirement or advice.

The owners of the property are the best hosts we’ve ever had, genuinely kind and incredible people who answered any questions we had as a young family and helped us a lot when we needed it. The house was a perfect location for a quiet space, with lots great views. Definitely recommend renting a car if you’re staying as the hill is steep to get there but it’s necessary as I said as the views are great. Everything was in good working order and perfect for a simple stay.

Great quiet getaway not too far from Malaga city
The property is a beautiful Spanish farmhouse set in 7 hectares of Avocado and Mango plantations. The neighbourhood is quiet and set in a valley just 15 or so minutes by car to Malaga city. There is also a regular bus to and from the city which stops just a few minutes walk from the gate at the bottom of the property.
Overall we found the stay very good, and Juan Carlos and Matilde were very helpful and welcoming. Thank you both!

Nuestra familia pasó 6 días en esta casa y nos sorprendió lo bien que estaba todo. El sitio, el jardín y la piscina, la proximidad a Malaga y sus playas… Los propietarios se encargaron que todo estuviese perfecto y estaban a 100% disponibles para cualquier duda. Volveremos si tenemos la oportunidad!

The house is surrounded by mountains. You have easy access to the beach, the city and nature park for hiking. Here you can relax and enjoy the spanish weather away from the normal tourist life. You feel to stay in Spain and not only to be part of all this main tourism.

WOW! Prepared to be amazed!
We originally were looking to book in Malaga city centre but then came across this property! All i can say is WOW! The views from the property were absolutely amazing. The property itself was well maintained and had everything we needed as a young family. Our hosts Juan Carlos & Matilde were amazing throughout our stay. They were always on hand if we needed anything via Whatsapp. We even exchanged some food on Christmas day! We really enjoyed meeting the whole family, they were all lovely!
Only negative was the location in Malaga itself, it was quite a challenge initially getting to and from the house however after a few days this became much easier. We would definately recommend getting a car if your staying at this property (if not, be prepared to walk down from the property to the bus stop at the bottom of the village - approx 10 mins)
We will definitely be back, thank you once again!

Just what we wanted
We had just finished walking the Camino de Santiago. We wanted peace quiet and comfort in the sun. We found it.
We are grateful to our pleasant and generous hosts who were helpful, considerate and unobtrusive.
We had the best mango ever from their Finca

Truly the perfect villa for our first taste of Southern Spain.
An idyllic setting with beautiful 360 views from the terrace of the surrounding mountains and the sea. A peaceful, rural and relaxing villa but only minutes from the A7 motorway along the Costa Del Sol and straight down under the motorway to the Malaga coast. Shops and supermarkets in easy reach.
We loved taking the 1 Eoro 30 bus ride from the bottom of the private road to the property , along the coast and into Malaga centre and port , hopping on and off at beaches along the way !
Matilde and family are the perfect hosts, meeting us just off the motorway to guide us through the narrow Spanish village streets and up to the villa itself. Communication was made easy through a WhatsApp family chat group both before and during our stay so that any questions were quickly answered and we were provided with helpful suggestions and advice throughout.
All in all we loved our stay at Finca Santa Matilde ,enjoying trips to Granada and La Alhambra , up into the picturesque Andalucian 'white villages' in the mountains and exploring Malaga but returning to the spacious terraces and facilities at the villa for a refreshing dip in the lovely pool,and a gentle sea breeze at the end of the day.

Wonderful week with the kids!
Beautiful secluded property in the hills with stunning views, and surrounded by mango and avocado trees. Ample outdoor space with fences all around so safe for my 2 and 4 year old to play. Pool and tennis court. Well-equipped kitchen. Very clean!
The hosts were friendly and very helpful.
The only negative (which isn't the fault of the owners at all!) is that there are lots of dogs in the village below the villa who all decide to bark at the same time in the middle of the night. But it's amazing how we got used to it after a few days! But only a small complaint, and everything else more than made up for it. We would love to go back.

Gorgeous home
Beautiful home and really helpful and friendly owners. The house was very clean as was the pool area. Food, drink or music is not allowed at the pool and should really be stated on the listing of the property. The house was a bit out of the way of things and would require a car to stay here. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone who loves peace and quiet.

The property was exactly as described with additional bonus of a tennis court available. Owner was friendly and welcoming.

Weak
I was looking forward to a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of Malaga city centre, in a beautiful mountainous setting. Much to my surprise, I was asked by the owner to leave her property a mere 12 hours into my holiday, and “to never come back.” But then my amigo sorted us out with a belter appartment and we had a fantastic time, what about it.

Peaceful Refuge in Gloriously Beautiful Country Setting
This property was perfect for our extended family of six (grandparents, parents, and two teenage sons). Ideal combination of delightful spaces both inside and out, tastefully appointed with traditional Andalusian decor. Amenities abound, including tennis court and pool. Property is surrounded by expansive gardens and orchards of oranges, avocados, persimmons, olives, and many more. Jasmine and bougainvillea surround the large patio. It is a peaceful refuge from the city, which is only a short drive away. Easy access to major autovias and autopistas, ideal for day trips to Gibraltar, Ronda, and beyond.
Perhaps the most appealing and appreciated aspect of this property are the wonderfully gracious hosts that welcome you there. Matilde Maria and Juan Carlos could not have done more to make our visit as special as it could be. They made sure that our stay in Malaga was extraordinary in every way.

Lovely property in convenient location
The house is really lovely and well equipped. The location is ideal not too far from the motorway to explore the surrounding area.
Matilde and Juan Carlos could not have been more kind and went to extraordinary lengths to ensure we had everything we needed.
We enjoyed evenings on the huge enclosed terrace which was a safe environment for a toddler to play.
Couldn't recommend this too highly if you want somewhere in the country but accessible to all amenities.
Thank you Matilde and Juan Carlos

Fantastic welcoming hosts in a very private location
A comfortable property with all the essentials for a pleasnt stay. Matilde and Juan Carlos were such accommodating hosts - nothing was too much trouble but totally discreet. We felt at home and no intrusions from the other residents. The pool and surrounds were really well maintained and the gardens were delightful. The finca is close to the village but up a very steep unmade up track - ok for keen walkers otherwise a car is essential.

Great house for a relaxing family holiday
We had a lovely stay at the sailor house. The house is very spacious and clean and the air conditioning and large shady terrace were very welcome in the hot weather. The location was great: closed to Malaga, beaches and the motorway to visit places but in a quiet location . Beautiful garden, tennis court and nice swimming pool. Although there are two other holiday houses on the site, our house was very private .
Great wifi meant that our teenage daughter was happy too!
Matilde and Juan Carlos very very friendly and discreet hosts . Our flight was very late on Saturday and Matilde offered to buy supplies for us for the next day as supermarkets are closed on Sundays and Juan Carlos came to meet us ( the access to the house is quite complicated via a small streets and steep dirt road ).
Cleaning was also included which meant that you truly make the most of your stay!!
Highlights apart from the house were.
- dolphin trip in Benalmadena
- Nerja beach and Frigiliana
- beautiful reservoir near Ardales
Highly recommended

Great Family Holiday in Malaga
Irish Family with 4 young children had a wonderful holiday at this property, we would recommend this property to stay in Malaga especially if your not into the touristy apartment block/bar scene and would prefer a private, quiet, spacious, clean and well furnished property in the country but still within 10 minutes drive from the centre of Malaga and a few minutes spin to the closest beach. The kids especially loved the swimming pool, tennis court and all the space around the property. We stayed 10 days and we wished we could have stayed longer. What great hosts Juan Carlos, Matilda and Family are, they were very accommodating to our late arrival and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely return as soon as we possibly can.
Thank you Juan Carlos, Matilda and Family. 5 Stars *****

A FANTASTIC HOLIDAY
Friends at work strongly recommended this house for a vacation with kids if we were going to Andalusia. They could not have been more right. Property was the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the sports with the kids. Country walks, tennis, and long hours sunbathing at the terrace close the BBQ. Malaga city is very welcoming and nice, and very close! There's always a good atmosphere in the streets. Their villages have amazing views and landscapes, great food, friendly people and the wines!! The property was gorgeous and more than we could have hoped for. Mathilde & Juan Carlo were hospitable, generous and extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
