A quiet house above Marbella.

Five bedrooms, a heated pool and the sea in view. Run by the family who owns it.

  • Sleeps 10
  • 5 bedrooms, all en suite
  • 10 minutes to the beach

The photos were better than the house.

Most holiday rentals look perfect online. Then you arrive. The pool is smaller. The view is a car park. And the owner takes two days to answer a message.

Villa Maria is our family's house. Every photo on this page is the house as it is. When you message us, we answer the same day.

Room for everyone. Space to be alone.

A 12-metre heated pool facing south. Shade by noon, sun until it sets. Loungers for ten and a table that seats twelve.

The kitchen

Built for people who actually cook. A long island, a proper oven and a door straight out to the terrace.

Five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Two are on the ground floor, for grandparents or anyone who would rather skip the stairs.

  • 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms
  • Heated pool
  • Sea views
  • Air conditioning throughout
  • Parking for 3 cars
  • 45 minutes from Málaga airport

Twenty minutes into the hills. A village known for long Sunday lunches.

Close to everything. Far enough from all of it.
