Villa Montana

MeganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wow what can we say about our stay at villa Montana - we had such a beautiful time celebrating my friend’s hen do! The villa itself is stunning - pictures do not do it justice, it is huge! The main highlight for us was Jane though, the commitment she had to making our stay 10/10 was incredible. I’d highly recommend doing one of her catered nights - we had delicious paella and much better than going out! She organised taxis, boat trips and gave us all the recommendations we needed. Thanks so much!

Andalusian Villa / Private Heated Pool / Sea Views

MomenaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Thanks to Eva and her husband, we had a very comfortable and well-equipped stay. The house was stocked with an ample supply of cleaning and cooking supplies, which is often overlooked in other properties. The location was also fantastic and ideal for day trips to Marbella, Malaga and Mijas Pueblo which was fun. The pool area was a definite highlight, and having it heated during the day made evening swims more enjoyable, especially in April where we experienced both rain and shine. The sofas were incredibly comfortable, and there were plenty of relaxing spots throughout the house to take in the views outside. Eva was always just a message away, replying almost instantly and helping us arrange activities. Public transport, as well as Uber and Bolt, were easy to access, though walking anywhere was a bit challenging - just make sure to use the villa name with the address provided on airbnb as this made it easier for taxi drop offs. Overall a 5 star stay.

Luxury villa: great views, BBQ, pool & outdoor bar

Johannes TheodorusRating, 5 stars1 month ago
we were allowed because we landed earlier and that was great. Friendly welcome from Tania, who went through all the rooms and explained instructions well. It's a beautiful and large house with a very large bedroom upstairs. Each room had a bath and toilet. It looked neat. The kitchen contained everything and glasses and plates etc. There were plenty of them.

Apartment near Torrequebrada beach

ToveRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A very cozy apartment with everything you could possibly need for a holiday stay. Even umbrellas to lend. Short distance to restaurants, and bus to Malaga city center only 300 meters away. There is no terrace here, but with the beach 300 meters away, it was not something we missed. Charming Benalmadena Pueblo with all its eateries is a 30-40 minute walk away (a bit steep). There is also a bus to beautiful Mijas. Very nice host who responded quickly. Definitely recommend.

We are particularly grateful to Franck as host, for accommodating our unexpected early arrival, his recommendations and directions for local restaurants and amenities and for dropping by during our stay, he was an excellent host. Thank you.

"Relax y Golf" Apartment

JouniRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had the pleasure of spending 10 winter weeks in Bárbara's pleasantly bright and warm apartment. The apartment is just as nice as described here. Something that is missing here, however, is the area's "Zona Verde" with hiking trails that wind through the Mijas Golf Urbanizacion. Walking through these green zones became a daily event that my wife and I, along with our big dog, really appreciated. Bárbara is a friendly and helpful host and all communication with her was quick and smooth. We highly recommend Bárbara's apartment.

Your guide to Málaga

All About Málaga

Located in Andalusia on the Costa del Sol, Málaga is Spain’s busiest port city, boasting iconic museums, gorgeous Mediterranean beaches, and a popular film festival that has transformed the city into a cultural hotspot. As one of the oldest cities in Spain, Málaga’s cobblestone streets in its historic center are wonderful to explore. Discover tapas bars and restaurants, eclectic shops and cafés, and even a Moorish-style traditional hammam spa. There’s a modern, edgy side to Málaga in the Soho arts district, home to funky bars and innovative street murals. Visitors flock here to enjoy Málaga’s dark sand beaches and cool blue waters; rent a beach chair and dine at a seaside café for the optimal Costa del Sol experience.

You’ll find the Museo Picasso Málaga here as the city is the birthplace of the legendary Spanish artist. The space houses more than 200 of his artworks. You’ll also find museums of contemporary artists, automobiles, and ethnography here, as well as a museum of glass and crystal.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Málaga

Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, there’s no bad time to rent an apartment in Málaga. Because the coastline of Andalusia is protected by mountains, the area has its own microclimate. If you love the beach and the sun, the summer months of June through August are the most desirable, as the temperatures are balmy and enjoyable. There are also some popular events here too, including the week-long Málaga Fair in August, with live music, fireworks, and a funfair. Fall brings cooler yet moderate temperatures. In September, the Luna Mora Festival, celebrates Andalusian culture and food. Winter temperatures in Málaga are cool and brisk, so don’t forget to pack warm layers. In February, the entire city comes out to celebrate Carnival. Spring offers warmer temperatures, and April sees La Semana Santa (Holy Week), celebrated with a number of elaborate religious processions throughout the city.


Top things to do in Málaga

Málaga Cathedral

This Roman Catholic cathedral was constructed between 1528 and 1782 but never completed. The second tower on this imposing Renaissance and baroque-style cathedral was never built, leading to it often being referenced as the “one-armed lady.” You can go inside and explore the lavishly decorated building’s 131-foot ceiling and two organs with more than 4,000 pipes.

Centre Pompidou Málaga

Málaga is packed with cultural venues. An offshoot of the famous Pompidou Center in Paris, Centre Pompidou Málaga opened in 2015. Located in the port and housed under an enormous colorful glass cube, the museum features works and rotating exhibitions drawn from the Pompidou’s modern and contemporary art collections.

Castillo de Gibralfaro

This giant 14th-century castle sprawls across the hillside over Málaga, offering panoramic views over the city. You can take a bus or hike up the winding path to the castle, where you can walk around the ramparts. Inside, explore several courtyards and buildings, including a mini military room.
