Villa Carolina

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Carolina. A super well-equipped house, located in a splendid setting that changes every hour of the day. However, it is 5 minutes from Comares and 15 minutes from Benarmagosa for facilities (bars, restaurants, shops). And what can we say about the kindness, benevolence and discretion of David, a truly remarkable owner. We will come back to it very soon.

Our holiday in Andalucia (17-31 July 2024) was our third time in Comares and in properties managed by David and his brother and the reason we keep coming back is simple - fantastic properties with all you could want, in quiet locations but within easy reach of Comares and its friendly folk, and well located to visit the gems of Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Ronda, Malaga and towns on the coast, awesome caves at Nerja .... there is much to see but comfortable enough to enjoy quieter days around the pool. (We tend to alternate between busy and quiet days, but its entirely up to you.) One thing I would say is, treat Google SatNav directions with a pinch of salt. On one occasion it sent us down a known dead-end (Google knew it was a dead-end) only to direct us to turn around and go back to the road we had just left!
David was very helpful with suggestions, local knowledge, and assisting with small issues when asked. Nothing was too much trouble.
We have no hesitation to recommend this villa to anyone considering Andalucia as a holiday destination and we hope to return again (for a fourth time) in the future.
P.S. Recently diagnosed as a Celiac I was at first worried about availability of gluten-free groceries and eating out at restaurants. No problem - Spain seems to have embraced the needs of Celiac sufferers better than the UK has. I recommend the supermarket chain "Mercadona" and most restaurants are well prepared to provide suitable dishes.

Ww stayed at this fabulous property with our 3 kids for 8 nights and it was a truly wonderful experience. The house itself was lovely, roomy and well-equipped with modern air conditioning in all the bedrooms and the pool outside was fantastic and kept the kids and us entertained on a daily basis. There are beautiful views of the valley and hills with day-long sunshine - this place is genuinely a paradise! David was friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The surrounding area is gorgeous and we would recommend Bar le Pepa in Comares, a 10 minute drive, for churros and tapas. A fantastic holiday property! It goes without saying that a car is recommended due to the rural nature of this mountainous region.

Beautiful week with my family at Villa Carolina.
Everything was exactly as I expected it to be. Lovely pool,
Basic but well equipped villa and views of the countryside.
It was the perfect get away and I really did NOT want to leave.
Gave 4 stars as I found the bed too soft but that come down to personal preference and nothing against this lovely villa.

Nous avons bien profité de la villa Carolina, situee dans un magnifique environnement. L'arrivée y a été un peu compliquée par
ce petit chemin de terre...quand nous avons compris que nous serions obligee de prendre la voiture pour toute sortie, balades,courses... La tranquillite de l'espace nous a détendues (😉)des le lendemain matin. La possibilite de se baigner dès le lever nous a enchantées. Nous partions à la journee pour visiter les nombreux sites extraordinaires de cette region andalouse et meme 2 jours pour visiter Cadix....magnifique! Nous avons participé a une fete de village La Rosaria,nous avons sympathisé le temps dun repas avec nos voisines de table dans un.petit restaurant de campagne,et avons leme chanté et dansé avec elles...Nous avons rencontré des Abdalous(es) fort sympathiques, partout,à l'image de David toujours prêt à rendre service....La villa présente tout ce que nous attendions litspour 5 personnes, excepté dans la cuisine manquent epluche legumes et essoreuse à salade...David a changé des
poêles rapidement pour que nous puissions cuisiner correctement
Cependant les 2 salles de bains tres grandes ne possedent aucund étagères, nos trousses de toilettes sont posées par terre.
Le dernier "petit" probleme fut l'invasion de
moustiques....en soiree et nuit...surtout en fin de sejour...peut etre due a la montee de la temperature exterieure? Dans l'ensemble ,nous avonw passé un bon sejour,LAndalousie est une region remarquable, Nous avons suivi les conseils de David pour les restaurants
et bars Nous avons bien fait.Le petit hotel restaurant
de la place de Comares excellent avec meme une participation a und emission de tele Valando Voy lors de notre presence,le restaurant Mirador ,tout a fait correct et laissez vous surprendre par les petits restaurants de villages où les prix et la gentillesse nont rien à voir avec la France!Merci David pour votre accueil, ce fut une sympathique
experience d'organisation de se trouver aussi isolées...

We had a lovely holiday at villa Carolina! The accommodation was clean and spacious. The surroundings are breathtaking.
We made good use of the pool and barbecue. The villa is set in a quiet area, delightful!
David was very attentive and friendly.
We found the beds a bit on the hard side, but that doesn't have to apply to everyone.
We made trips to Comares, Malaga, Seville and Granada. This was fine to do.
Thank you!

Just had our second holiday at Villa Carolina and had another fab time. Great views and cooling breeze whilst sat around the pool. Made friends with a little kitten who visited on a regular basis. Another fab holiday and looking forward to June's holiday already. Thanks Jacqui and David see you soon.

This was our first trip to this area and we were not disappointed! Lovely villa (air con was a real plus!) everything you need in the villa to cater to your needs. Pool lovely temp, great views and very comfortable. Sure, it's not the most modern villa but when you're outside all day it doesn't really matter. Sunshine all day, wonderful views (including the goat watching!) Jacqui and David were very accommodating - we're looking at coming back next year! One thing to note, if you follow the directions and just spend 5 minutes beforehand locating the villa on google maps, it really is easy to find, don't let the winding roads put you off, it's worth the trip.

After some issues finding the Villa David arranged for one of his friends to show us the way. Villa was worth the trip.
Set on its own grounds and only a few other villas scattered nearby.
Well equiped kitchen with everything you need. Nice comfortable beds and aircon. The pool was fantastic and great to get out the midday heat. The villa is quite rural but just what I wanted. You will need a car as its off the beaten track.. I recommend stopping at sipermarket on way to the villa and stock up as nearest local one is 20 minutes by car. I would definitely return.

Stayed in the villa at the beginning of June'23 and again David & Jacqui you have recommended another great villa. Great views and and the goats going past at night are funny to watch. Peaceful and quiet just off the main road, and had a wonderful time. See you both soon as we are back in September.
