It is a well designed open plan living space with the following zones.
A double bedroom area which has plenty of storage and a lovely shower room leading from this area which gives the feeling of an en-suite and spoils you with a large walk in mosaic tiled shower plus of course WC and basin. It is curtained off from the living area.
There is a cleverly planned Spanish influenced kitchen with a fridge freezer, 4 ring gas hob, microwave and plenty of cooking utensils and crockery. It also allows you to cook a paella, drink a glass of vino and gaze across to the sierras with the minimum of effort.
The sofa itself is opposite the satellite television with some English channels and DVD player, but often the 2 metre windows will focus your eyes towards the living picture beyond, especially if the eagles are floating on the thermals.
There is also a table in front of the patio doors which tends to be mainly used when alfresco living becomes less appetising in winter. Wi-fi is available.
The aim of our studio as with all of our rentals is to give functional and comfortable environment for you to relax in whilst on holiday.
Outside of the studio are tables and chairs in your own area and rustic stairs leading up to the pool terrace.
We have added a Jacuzzi for use in the Autumn/Winter months.

Our 3rd vist to Vine Ridge and it just gets better each time we come.David and Jacqui are the perfect hosts along with the dogs,Chico,Bruno and Charlie.the views are breathtaking and this being our 3rd visit we are still transfixed by the beauty.the rooms are well equipped for self catering and are very clean with brilliant poolside views.getting about in the car was easy and trips upto the local village of Comares takes just 5 mins.for us its the ultimate chillout location and seeing rural spain at its finest.we met some lovely people at the poolside and can't wait to go back.
We have been visiting Vine Ridge Retreats since 2015, staying at both the Vine Ridge and Poolside Studios. Our latest stay in the last week of June only reminded us of why we keep coming back! -The breath taking natural views from the studio and Poolside, the hospitality of our hosts David, Jacqui and the dogs, Chico, Bruno & Charlie!, relaxing days spent by the pool, long Sunny days ☀️, evening BBQ's, days out at the beach in Nerja & Torre De Mar, eating great tapas and drinking wine, exploring Velez Malaga old town & the hilltop village of Comares. Vine Ridge is simply the most tranquil and restorative place to relax and recharge the batteries and we'll be returning very soon!
I am losing count of the times I have returned to this Axarquia idyll - I think it's about five! Initially the stunning views and the natural peaceful environment provided the lure but it is also the warm welcome from our hosts, David & Jacqui, as well as the breakfast visits from 'The Boys' - the dogs Charlie, Cheeko and Bruno who are fantastic company. It's a beautiful drive either up to the Moorish hilltop town of Comares or to the friendly resort of Torre del Mar. I have got into the habit of hiring a road bike from Biciterraneo in Torre at least for one day to explore the quiet hill roads within a few kilometres of the coast for a very reasonable cost. It was so refreshing to wake up to the pleasantly warm Spring sunshine streaming in through the large patio windows of the Studio and to know that everything was on hand for a comfortable stay - including a couple of cold San Miguel beers in the fridge! Freesat TV also works well and the shower is always good and hot. See you again very soon David & Jacqui. David
Vine Ridge is indeed a retreat. Hidden in the Axarquia hills near to Comares, it provided everything I could possibly need for a 'get away from it all' break. The studio is great and contained every mod con to make me feel comfortable and at home. It is an easy drive from there to Comares, a gorgeous village nearby, perched on top of the mountain. Or else, if I had felt energetic, I believe that the walk over the hills to Comares is only about 30 minutes. I was an almost daily visitor to the village; I loved to explore there, climb through the streets, visit the landmarks and take in the stunning views. The people are very friendly and helpful, particularly in the cafe in the village square. I enjoyed sitting there in the sunshine watching the life of the village pass by.
David and Jacqui are excellent hosts. I highly recommend Vine Ridge Retreats!
Got back yesterday from what i can only describe as heaven, we've had an amazing 9 days at vine ridge studio. The views are fantastical, the hosts an absolute pleasure, and the three friendly little dog's just completed our holiday. Can highly recommend this.
Our second visit to Vine Ridge, and we weren't dissapointed, The Welcome, both human an canine was just as warm as our first visit. We hired a car with a little more power so it was easy to get up to vine ridge. Booking is easy with David and Jacqui and we can see a third visit when we want to recharge our batteries again.
this is a review i have been meaning to do since we were there in june 2016, now feb 17.
From booking to arrival went as smooth as silk with David & Jacqui, the girls and of course the wonderful dogs. Its a fun drive up to vine ridge, but when you arrive the view is Jaw dropping, and we sat there day or night drinking something soft, and something stronger sometimes just admiring the views. we just wanted to rest, but on the times we went out we found no problem getting good food. it was so relaxing we felt fully recharged to face the world again after 2 weeks there. when we want a similar break we wouldnt hesitate to go back to vine ridge
What a delightful place for our December escape! The location is idyllic- quiet with amazing views of mountains and sea, a perfect place for those who love both. Comares is an utterly charming village with very interesting history. It’s a very nice walk up the hill from Vine Ridge. The studio apartment was lovely and comfortable with internet and all we needed to cook.
David and Jacqui were very kind and full of useful information about the area and activities. The dogs really helped make us feel at home. Despite the chilly mornings the pool was great for a refreshing dip, followed by a warming soak in the jacuzzi.
Many thanks to our wonderful hosts, we hope to return soon!
We spent a wonderful week at Vine Ridge. Before we even arrived we knew it was going to be special. The drive up the mountain is an adventure and certainly exhilerating as we drove higher and higher. What a wonderful reward arriving at Vine Ridge. The views are spectacular and right there outside our studio ! Wonderful to wake up to each morning . David and Jaqui are brilliant hosts, so helpful and informative and very welcoming. Charlie, Bruno and Chico are a delight, greeting us each morning, although the doggie biscuits may have helped. The pool area is really lovely and you can float about and still take in the view or catch an eagle on the thermals. I love the bed by the pool, great idea. We laid on it at night to watch the stars and saw two shooting stars one night. The studio are bright modern spotlessly clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We are not surprised that folk return here all the time it is so lovely and relaxing. Vine Ridge is a wonderful place to spend time and we highly recommend it
