Thank you for a great week in perfect location. The house and outdoor area really was like the pictures and descriptions. We loved the silence and feeling of country in the area. We will be back :) Thanks to Roy and the nice welcome to us.

Stunning Villa with excellent facilities. Pool is fantastic, and also had many on evening enjoying the views from the terrace after bbqs. Off the beaten track, but in many ways that’s a good thing. Very peaceful, and actually not difficult to get to the coast/ beaches, great local Mercadona supermarket and great places to visits like Ronda, Caminito Del Rey, etc. Also some excellent road cycling to be had from the Villa. Kamagabikes.com in Marbella excellent for road and mountain bike hire. Would recommend rides to Mijas and Aloizana.

Was a great place for two weeks. We were a family of 9 and had some beautiful BBQs and sunsets! The pool area is a nice place for relaxing and cooling down! Any problem with the house, was directly solved by the housekeeper. It‘s really recommended to visit that mansion! Thanks to Louisa and John

We stayed in La Huerta VIeja for 6 nights in total. Upon arrival (although we got there late), we were met by Roy who is a lovely person and very willing to help and make your stay special. The property is in a very quaint area of the outskirts of Alhaurin el Grande which was perfect for us. All rooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable (including nice mattresses on the beds). The outside areas of this villa are spectacular and there is plenty of outside seating area. The barbecue area is located next to the pool which is very convenient for lunch. All in all a wonderful experience and highly recommended.

This was a perfect setting for my first retreat, the space and flow of energy worked perfectly. The villa creates a sense of purse escapism and luxury. The communication between the property owner and manager was amazing.

This villa is really awesome. Fantastic beds, perfect equipped kitchen, famous outside area, excellent sound systems incl. Sonos and Bose inside and outside. And the communication with the agent was very friendly. It was a perfect stay.

This villa is outstanding and was in a perfect location for our group of six adults and two children aged three and five. The villa is everything we hoped it would be and more, would without doubt return again in the future.

This is our 3rd visit to Villa and as always we found the property absolutely beautiful it caters for your every need to enjoy a thoroughly relaxing time away from it all. The villa and gardens are pristine and the views stunning. We will be back !! Thank you once again from the Blackwell’s.

Just spent a joyous week there as a group of 4 adults and 2 children. It’s the most stunning place and now perfect for even bigger families or groups of friends with the accompanying property, La Casita. Such a beautiful place and close enough to ‘things to do and places to go’ if you fancy it, but also wonderfully secluded if you don’t.

We stayed at this villa the week before our wedding and all I can say is we were blown away, the attention to detail in the property was brilliant would definitely recommend and will definitely be staying again!

We had a real great/ fantastic holiday at La Huerta Vieja. (september 2018) From the minute we came undtil we should leave, we have enjoyed it. All 10 of us, two parents, the childeren and their partners and their children. We where svimming, playing table tennis and mini golf, have relaxed, read books, made food in the nice kitchen (where everything was, that we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner), listened to "our" music from the Sonos speakers and where just having a great time. We didn't want to leave the place, and had only one time dinner in the town. Two of us, where shopping everyday, at the nice supermarket in town, where you could buy everything you needed. You could stay in the sun or find shadow, just what you wanted was possible to find around the house. There are lots of different areas you can choose to be, if you want some time on your own. For us was it the perfect place to have our family holiday :-) and if we take a new family holiday next year, I know hwere it will be: HER ;-) Thanks for "borrowing" your fantastic house to us. "Hakuna Matata" :-) Lia ( and family de Sain).

I had the pleasure of holidaying in this beautiful villa which is set in such a picturesque location. The villa has been finished to the highest standard, everything has been thought of to give you the most perfect holiday. From lazing around the pool listening to music with the stunning mountain views to a cosy gathering around the log burner in the evening, all I can say is it was perfect. I can not describe the gorgeous smell that you are surrounded by from the orange & lemon groves- out of this world! I would recommend hiring a car to give you the option of visting the local town or travelling a little bit further (only half an hour) to the buzzing centre of Malaga. Thank you John & Louisa, your holiday home is fantastic!

From the moment you arrive, the aroma of the orange blossom fills your senses and immediately transports you to a place of relaxation. The peace and tranquillity of the villa perfectly matches the backdrop of endless country and mountain views. Of a day time, the pool area is fantastic and really private. When nighttime comes, you can either relax on the very comfy patio area with a bottle of local wine or if it’s chilly, head inside to light a fire and snuggle down on the many sofas. The villa is very well equipped and a real home from home. We can’t wait to head back.

Fantastic relaxing retreat in the Spanish countryside, great views and superb facilities at this villa.

Wow, what a place. Great for family and friends, with all the bells and whistles you could imagine. A real dream pad.

Great family villa with fantastic facilities. All you need and more from the living space to the pool. Great place to relax but not too far from reality. Would highly recommend this beautiful villa

The moment the gates opened we were welcomed warmly by Roy, manager of the property. Roy’s team had prepared the villa immaculately, indeed luxury hotel standard. After a tour and chat with Roy we headed up to Alhaurín el Grande and the local supermarket for supplies. Fridge and ‘larder’ stocked we easily settled in to our home for the week. Each room was spacious and has its own spectacular vistas. Air conditioning though out the villa was great for the kids on the hottest days too. The photos describing the property are accurate, but still they just cannot highlight the privacy and seclusion we enjoyed. You really can chill around the pool, pop the tunes on the Sonos and soak up the views of the Sierra de Mijas. Added bonus was the Golden Eagle soaring high above the valley. Our party consisted of four adults and two children. After asking the kids what their favourite part of the holiday was there were memorable answers…. Logan (5 ½ years) – “Pool party, golf, table tennis, tennis and football with Daddy.” Yes, he’s a sporty lad. Florence (3 ½ years) – “Mermaid Bay!” Which translates to the semi-circle shallow part of the pool Florence ruled for the week. We would recommend a hire car at the ready. It’s a nice trip up to town for an ice cream in the afternoon, Heladería "La Chacha", top up supplies or to head out for dinner in the evening. The owners sent us a great recommendation list when we booked. We’ll be booking again without doubt. I’ll also be talking to the cycling club to use as a base for the next Malaga-Andalucía trip as the mountain routes are spectacular and challenging. #britishcycling #HomeAway #rspb

Had another fabulous time at the villa! Our second stay! This time joined by another family and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time😁 the kids love the pool, the netflix, the wifi, the sonos system, the ping pong, the list goes on! We visited malaga, fungerola , mijas, the lakes, alhaurin de grande, Ronda! We had Barbeques at the villa and chilled also. Best of both worlds! 😎😁👍

A lovely spacious family villa with beautiful surroundings, the smell of the orange groves was divine. The pool was so tempting too. Although the villa is in a rural location it’s very close to local amenities also only a 20 minute drive to Malaga. I had a fabulous time there.

When we (Family of 10) arrived at the Villa and the gates opened we couldn't believe how amazing the villa looked with so much space, and great views of the mountains. Plus it had plenty of places for everyone to find there own little spot to sit and chill. The Villa had everything you could want for a perfect relaxing holiday, we all loved sitting by the pool and enjoyed the BBQ area most nights. I made the mistake of not hiring a car so would recommend getting one for a few days as the Supermarkets are around a 10 minute drive away. The Weather was great and we couldn't have asked for a better Holiday and have no negative comments to make, so many thanks to John the Owner, the whole family loved it.

We shared the villa with our Canadian relatives, there were 3 couples, but ample space for us all. We spent our time there, in and out of the lovely pool, playing table tennis and enjoying drinks and lovely food cooked on the barbe-cue.There was a susperb choice of sunbeds loungers and even a couple of hammocks to soak up the rays. With fantastic entertainment inside, we could watch, tv, films and listen to our favourite music in the evenings. With the town only a 10 minute drive away we were never short of supplies or restaurants and bars. The villa is also ideally situated for day trips. With Gibraltar less than 2 hours away by car we spent a day there with very excited Canadians. We also took in the sights and charm of Mijas and Puerto Benus and the resorts of Benalmadena and Torremolinas.However the favourite part of our stay was relaxing in peace and quiet by the pool with cold drinks and warm sunshine.Just heaven!

This is a beautiful villa in a very private country location . We loved the silent times of day. Waking in the morning to the wonderful views. Everything is as described so no disappointments. Quality furnishings, good beds, well equipped. Everything you could want. We loved every day and would highly recommend it for couples or families. Worth mentioning, if you want to explore the area car hire is essential. Excellent outdoor BBQ area and pool we used it a lot, only ate out occasionally.

WOW,! We had a wonderful time at the villa, great location just a short taxi to the centre of Alhurin El Grande with its bustling bars and restaurants. Very well catered for in terms of amenities, big swimming pool, table tennis, pitch and put , many sun beds and hammocks and huge BBQ outside. Inside each bedroom had a view and most had access to large balcony, good AC and en suites and bathrooms. Well catered for kitchen, all IT mod cons, we can't wait to return! Many thanks!

Hey John & Louisa, Sorry for the later responds. We all had a fantastic time everything was perfect ☺ We are all gathering photo to upload all our memories on to your Facebook page. We will definitely be planning our next stay at your villa. Thank you so much for everything.

Stunning villa! Everything we were looking for in a villa! Very clean, everything top notch and totally secure. Electric gates to enter and fenced all around so totally secure for the children! Shutters ond doors and windows which were very re assuring and alarmed! Plenty of towels and also beach towels, saved on the extra kg on the flight! Sonos surround sound system, just down load the app so easy and it was great! Netflix and dvd player for the children they were in their glory! Plus the table tennis,swimming pool and golf! Totally fantastic holiday in a stunning villa and have already pre-booked for next year 👍 Great communication with John and the management Danny who we didnt need to contact because everything was just great but he was on call if we needed him!
