Top Hotels Near El Alcazar Recreationa in Alcaucin from NZ$108

"This was a late booking and communication with the owners was great from the start. The instructions were faultless and help was given on a hire car.The property is in the mountains and the drive to the property has great views and was easy (around one hour to Malaga airport). The villa, gardens and pool area were great. The villa is very well equipped and is like a home from home. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, lovely modern kitchen and every utensil you would ever need. Furniture, furnishings and decor were perfect. It is by far the best villa we have stayed at over the years. We spent most of our time round the pool area - with spectacular views over the “campo”.We stocked up with food at a big supermarket then drove int9 the village every other day to top up. The butcher’s shop was good but the highlight was the bakery - El_Soyuco - gorgeous pistachio croissants and cheesecakes. Do not miss out on that shop. We also had a lovely meal at The Secret Garden.We had a day in Malaga, a trip to Antequera and a trip to Nerja caves. Temperatures were around 29 degrees all the time.All in all a great holiday for our family of three (all adults). Many thanks to everyone - owners and greeters. "

"Stunning property set up in the hills, very peaceful and relaxing location with beautiful views. Pool and patio area is perfect surrounded by plants and with views down the valley. House is very well equipped and nicely decorated and the dart board and pool table are a big added bonus. Drive to property, as has been mentioned, is via windy mountainous roads but it's only the last quarter of a mile that is on a rough track. Small town is about 5 min drive (walking it would be quite a trek) and is a tradition Spanish town with a few good places to eat. The Tapas bar is especially cheap. Would have given 5 stars for everything but there was a slight issue with our booking/arrival and communication was a bit awkward however everything got sorted eventually and the lady who looks after property locally was lovely and super helpful despite language barriers. We actually only booked this property at quite short notice as our original booked villa had to cancel and we are so glad they did as it was absolutely perfect for us. We will certainly be returning."

"What an awesome Villa. Fully equipped with EVERYTHING you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The Villa was spotless with three good sized bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen,a lovely living room all with good air con and 2 bathrooms with very good showers. It’s set in a beautiful valley with stunning views, it has two lovely balconies one small just off the upstairs bedroom the other has a table and 6 chairs where you can sit and enjoy the sun coming up whilst having breakfast or having a glass of your favourite tipple whilst watching the sun going down, It’s a beautiful suntrap which has a retractable canopy if it gets too hot.The pool is beautiful so refreshing and we were in it from 9am to 9pm most days and even though it was 35-38 degrees every day we had it heated, it’s just something we prefer. Nearest shops, restaurants etc are 3-4 mins away in the car but I’d suggest calling to Lidl in Vallez Malaga, it’s just as you get off the motorway and not out of your way, it also has the best butchers you’ll find for BBQing. Don’t go to Arkwrights shop which is close to the Villa, there’s a lot of British food there but way overpriced. Iv stayed in few villas mostly in the Comares area where you won’t get better views they are spectacular but this villa beats them all for everything else and I’m already looking to book here again for next year….

"Everything and more in the kitchen, wi-fi is great. The house is laid out well so everyone can enjoy time together and still have areas where you can escape to have some me time. Pool is fantastic for adults and children and good parking in the property grounds. A car is recommended, you can walk to the village which has a selection of bars and restaurants. 3 local mini markets are in the village however it is hilly and a good strong heart and legs would be a big advantage. Fantastic views from all directions around the property and a great place to switch off and relax."

"Fabulous location, very kind, friendly and talented hosts. Rooms were perfect and cool, very cosy with comfortable beds."
