Casa Jacaranda

Just home after 2,5 weeks in Casa Jacaranda. We were looking for a peaceful place to relax on our own, and that’s exactly what we found!
The beautiful views and friendly neighbours and the support you always have from David and Jacqui are just some of the reasons for choosing this place.
We are considering coming back again.

Just returned from a wonderful two weeks holiday at Casa Jacaranda. Originally booked to go to Maderia but after the owners decided to sell the villa and cancel our booking we were left with no holiday, we have been to Spain numerous times but not Costa Del Sol, after some searching came across Vine Ridge Retreats.David and Jacqui were so helpful, did everything they could to find a villa that met our family needs. Recommended Casa Jacaranda and I am so glad they did! What an amazing Villa, since the pictures have been taken some work has been done on the outside area and this had opened the whole area up and created some magnificent views. The Villa was very spacious for our family of 4 and also very well equipped. David and Jacqui were very responsive to any questions or issues we had. We did have an issue with fridge not working, David responded to my email immediately and within the hour the owner Araceli was at the house and had an engineer on site an hour later. Araceli took all my frozen goods and stored them in her freezer at home until it was fixed. The owners are a lovely couple, all though they don't speak any English, luckily for us we had our 17 year old son who has quite a good understanding of the language and Google Translator. We will definitely look at returning to the area and will book through Vine Ridge Retreats. Would recommend them and this Villa to anyone.

Après une semaine passée à la villa jacaranda, nous recommandons fortement cette location.
Le descriptif et les photographies du site correspondent en tous points à la réalité.
Dès la réservation, le contact avec David et Jacqui a été très convivial et très réactif (en Français et en Anglais !); le propriétaire est également très sympathique (en Espagnol !).
La villa offre suffisamment d'espace, est bien entretenue et très propre. La piscine et la terrasse sont bien situés; le jardin est bien agréable (les agrumes et avocats...) et l'accès facile. Le petit chemin d'accès ne pose aucun problème en belle saison.
L'équipement est moderne (wifi, electro-ménager ok), la vaisselle également. La literie et le linge de maison fourni sont de belle qualité.
La situation nous convenait parfaitement; un peu isolé pour la tranquillité et la vue superbe au coucher de soleil et en même temps à peu de distance de nos buts de visite (voiture obligatoire).
Comarès est un village très pittoresque et authentique à 4 km.
Le loueur de voiture conseillé par David est tout à fait correct, parle Français et les prix correspondent au devis !
Bref, d'excellentes vacances dans une très belle région Andalouse, nous reviendrons !

Just back from a lovely restful week at Casa Jacaranda - the villa is the third of Vine Ridge Retreats' we have booked, we have loved them all for different reasons but Casa Jacaranda is just out in front for ease of access. It is a hop and a skip from the main road up to Comares (and down to Benamargosa) for shopping or eating out - self catering is easy due to a well equiped kitchen although, as other reviewers have mentioned, a few more items could to be added such as a few more casserole type dishes ( oven to table). We choose the villa to sit back, read, relax and enjoy the view and what a view it is - now that the conifers have been cut down from the poolside, you can see for miles, and there is always something to drag you away from your books, including the eagles which we were lucky enough to see fly overhead - in Sept/Oct I imagine it will be perfect to watch the bird migration. Always have some binoculars to hand. We booked Jacaranda because it had air-con and June can be scorching. David has always told us that on the mountain its not always necessary and here it's true - the mountain breeze keeps it comfortable, however, as the Campo dogs bark across the valleysat night, having the option to close the window and put on the air-con is a welcome bonus. We will definately be booking again and recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful relaxing away from it all kind of holiday. Thank you David & Jacqui for all your help and many kindnesses. - Yvonne & Nick

We has just spent a month at casa Jacaranda.
It is a lovely villa with stunning views across the mountains to Torre del mar. As there were only two of us we had more than enough room to wander around the villa was lovely and clean, with plenty of towels and bed linen.Also the kitchen was also well equipped, although a few more saucepan would be handy.
This villa is ideal for people who want to relax and do very little ,as we did as we know the area well.
David and Jacqui are always there to solve any problems that occur and are a very friendly couple. We have no hesitation in recommending this villa for a holiday.

The views from the villa are fantastic - the drive up the windy road is definitely worthwhile. The villa was clean and spacious, with several places to sit and eat depending on the heat and time of day. Plenty of towels were provided both for the bathrooms and for use by the pool. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Local restaurants are just a short drive away in Comares.

This villa certainly lives up to expectation it is delightful. The view from the terrace is amazing all the way out to sea and across the valley we really enjoyed sitting here.

The villa is well equipped with plenty of kitchen equipment, coffee maker and plenty of space if you enjoy cooking. The villa is very spacious and everything provided was new, bedding and towels.

The pool is great fun and we did use the waterfall at times it is great to cool off in the heat. and there is plenty of outdoor space, three areas with tables and chairs and sun loungers.

The internet is good quality to use throughout the villa and outside on the terraces and by the pool. There was a DVD player and large screen in the lounge area.
