STEER CLEAR!! Dirty oven with congealed grease & food debris on oven tray. Mouse jumped out of kitchen drawer when we opened it. Kitchen pedal bin lid broken. Mouse dropping in cutlery drawer. The inside of the villa appeared to be very cluttered and with worry & concerns of what we might find next we decided we couldn’t stay. Swimming pool was murky. Outdoor space consisted of two old garden tables pushed together in veranda. BBQ and pizza oven to the side of drive with an old wooden picnic table. The pool was situated at the top of the driveway (we could not see the advertised garden area) cushions and outdoor chair/sofa cushions badly stained. The photos on website are definitely not a true reflection of what the villa looks like now. We suspect photos were taken a number of years ago. Owner ‘sniggered’ on the phone when we said we were sleeping in the car that night. Owner finally turned up at 10.20 the following morning with no offer of a professional deep clean or pest control.

Beautiful views all around the property. The pool is a great size and perfect for the kids. The outdoor cooking space is great. The kitchen is well stocked and also has great views. The property could benefit from a/c in all rooms and a smart TV. The local roads are narrow and I would recommend arriving during the daylight hours. All-round, a great family villa for a stay in a beautiful part of Spain.

A truly wonderful spot
We 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.

Rest/Relax/Recharge
We 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!

Peaceful and tranquil villa near Comares
This 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.

Lovely 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

Perfect getaway for relaxed holiday
This villa is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle. Rural and remote , the real Andulusia. Large, well equipped house, fabulous pool and stunning vistas. Perfect place to do nothing but also a great base to explore the stunning mountains above Malaga. The roads are daunting at first but worth it. Owner is very friendly, meeting us at the Villa and showed us around. If you are after the Costa del Sol experience this is not for you. If you are after a real experience of Spain then you will not be disappointed in Comares and the surrounding area. The nearest bar is a good hike up the hill but worth the effort and you will need to drive to eat outaking a car essential. Overall an excellent experience and we will be back.

Although the roads to the villa are daunting at first, you soon get used to them. The Villa itself is beautiful and has all you need for a complete holiday with everything in the kitchen and living room you could possibly want. Carl came over 2 or 3 times to check everything and to ensure the pool was clean. He was very helpful with regard to local attractions and amenities. The views from the terrace and pool were amazing, the sun was over the terrace all day. All in all a fantastic holiday. Thank you Carl, Regards from Chris, Sue, Jenny, Ena and Simon.

Nobody ever gets a 10 but Villa Romo is close.
Beautiful rural location. Well appointed property with plenty of space. The pool is well maintained and although a tad cool at the time of year we were there (mid Oct) - VERY refreshing!
If you like comfort, peace and quiet, stunning views, this is the place.
Plan your fuel top ups and shopping trips as the nearest garage and supermarket is 20 minutes drive (Benamargosa) although Comares does have a limited shopping. There is plenty of fridge and freezer space so's not to make it a daily requirement. Overall we had a fabulous holiday exploring the area and were sad to leave.

Super relaxing holiday in great villa.
My wife and I stayed at the villa at the end of September for a week. We arrived late on a Saturday so the complimentary welcome pack was indeed welcome. The road can appear challenging but that a price worth paying for the location, tranquillity and views.
The villa was very comfortable and we are breakfast on the terrace each morning. We travelled to the local town with a slightly larger supermarket and found everything we needed. We also visited Velez Malaga for both shopping and beaches.
On our last day we went to nerja and a town called frigiliana which were both really interesting and worth a second visit.
The villa was very well equipped and had all the facilities we required . Carl was very helpful and gave us some useful pointers for restaurants etc.
We would definitely recommend this villa and will be back again.

An amazing property
We have stayed in the Axarquia region five times now and Villa Romo is one of the best we have stayed in. With 5 adults in the group, there was plenty of room and places to escape to if you needed alone time. The outlook is amazing and waking up to birdsong, goat bells and donkeys (and the usual dogs and cockerels) was wonderful. The Villa was very well appointed, Mum especially loved the Kitchen. Carl was attentive when required, but otherwise left us to enjoy our holiday. I would certainly encourage anyone who wants wonderful views in a very comfortable, peaceful and private setting to seriously look at this Villa. Thank you Carl and Maria for the welcome pack and all that you did for us.
