Lovely spot
Posted Aug. 7, 2024 on HomeAwayA good value villa in a lovely spot. Remote location which is great as you dont have to worry about any neighbours but still not far from shop / bars and restaurants.

A truly wonderful spot
Posted Jul. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayWe travelled as 2 families, 5 adults 2 teens and a 5 yr old and there was more than enough space to accommodate us comfortably.
All rooms were clean and of a very good size, master bedroom was huge, kitchen was great, very big with all mod cons. But it was the pool that took top honours, we had 8 in the pool at one time and it didn't feel a squeeze.
I spent ages looking for the right pool as my daughter loves the water but is severely disabled but the stairs into pool made it easy for me to support her in and out. The other kids just loved it and literally they were in there at every opportunity 10/10
The location is very rural and in the 36°c heat just walking to the bin 70m away up the hill was challenging, so any idea we had about walking to the nearest cafe/shop was out, but having said that it didnt spoil our stay, we were 20 mins from the stunning Comares, 55mins from Nerja, 35 mins from Vélez-Málaga and 1hr from Benalmadena, given just how good villa was this was a drive i was willing to make, infact were already planning to come back.
Honestly this was one of the best trips we've had, Carl was a very good host, with good communication and a very friendly laid back attitude.

Brilliant villa
Posted Jul. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayBrilliant villa, well equipped and scenery out of this world. We made use of the pizza oven and BBQ and the kids loved every minute of it.

Rest/Relax/Recharge
Posted May 31, 2024 on HomeAwayWe stayed at Villa Romo for 10 days. The perfect place to get away and appreciate a slower pace and Spanish way of life. Carl & Maria were attentive throughout. Only snag was getting to the house on day one, as we were driving from Toledo. Managed to find the house before dark; a plus! The home is quite remote and it took us about 30 minutes to get there from the small town of Rio Gordo. (My advice is to buy groceries before you arrive.) We were very happy to get 'home' and unwind and not have to brave the roads again after dark. With that being said, after day 2 we became quite comfortable navigating the mountain roads and enjoyed the sweeping views and beautiful wild flowers around every bend! Who needs Ronda when you have the mountains of Axarquia? Didn't take as many day trips as planned, due to the location, about 4 days on, 5 days at home/local. May was the perfect time to visit; not too hot, and the spring fairs and festivals are still going on! The house is well appointed, with just about everything you need to cook a good meal and relax with your group around the pool. Loved the outdoor grill as well (sadly did not get the chance to use the wood-fired pizza oven).The water got very hot and the waterfall shower heads are wonderful. There are plenty of linens, towels, and patio chair pillows to go around. Fans in every bedroom, although this time of year we did not really need them. Carl was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the local goings on. Thank you!

Wonderful
Posted Aug. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayStayed for a week in July , we were a group of 8 with a young child . Villa was very clean and very well kept , with really comfy beds. The surroundings are very peaceful with beautiful sceneries , a place to disconnect from it all. Hosts Carl and Maria are really helpful too and respond quickly to any queries. Totally recommendable would definitely repeat the experience . Thank you , we had a wonderful time 😀.

Peaceful and tranquil villa near Comares
Posted Jul. 16, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is a lovely, spacious villa near Comares. The villa is well equipped and has a delightful pool and terrace area which are very well laid out. Carl and Maria are great hosts and very supportive and responsive. The villa represents very good value in rental terms.
The roads can be a challenge if you are not used to them and you need to be organised on food shopping since the nearest good supernarket is 50 minutes round trip.
The location is really peaceful and serene and we had a great 2 weeks enjoying the countryside and had lazy days by the pool as well as trips to Cordoba and Antequera (the latter only 50 minutes away). It takes about 50 minutes to get to Torre del Mar which is a great beach resort.
During our stay, there was no hot water in the kitchen which it was not possible to fix whilst we were there, which was a bit inconvenient but overall, we had a great stay. Air con in master bedroom only and some of the bedroom fans could do with a bit of a clean.
Our family had some great hikes nearby.
Would thoroughly recommend to those wishing to see a different part of Andalucia, away from the crowds on the coast. Good restaurants nearby. Very accessible from Malaga airport.

Relaxing and tranquil week away
Posted Oct. 17, 2022 on HomeAwayLovely spacious traditional villa which had everything you needed for a relaxing week away. Bedrooms were spacious and massive family bath. Well equipped kitchen and good sized pool. 48 minutes to the beech and Comares 15 mins by car (7k). Couple of nice bars and restaurants serving good food in Ventorro, really friendly and only 10 mins away. Typical windy roads however the views and scenery are spectacular, make sure you have sat nav. Carl was a great host and special thanks

Beautiful villa, wonderful views!
Posted Nov. 12, 2021 on HomeAwayWe were looking for a quiet spot where we could enjoy our natural surroundings and Villa Romo provided just that! The villa was reasonably close to the lovely village of Comares, with several appealing restaurants. Maria is a gracious hostess and a wonderful guide to the area. Thank you for sharing your villa with us!
