About this property

Beautiful location and stunning views. Villa feeling but at apartment prices!

Very spacious and high quality 2 double bedroom/2 bathroom completely independent apartment, recently refurbished master bedroom, located on the entire bottom floor of a large villa with a stunning 1800 square meter garden (ideal playing space for children). The owners live in a separate part of Villa Juana and respect the tenants privacy during their stay (as is confirmed by our reviews). This property is unique as you have the luxury of renting a villa type property at apartment prices! The property also includes a garage, a swimming pool and barbecue. The apartment, garden, lower balcony, pool and garage (for one car) are not utilised by any other tenants during your stay. The pool is also not utilised by the owners when tenants are at the property.
Fantastic sea and mountain views. One of the most "rural" areas of the Costa del Sol. The villa is located in an exclusive urbanization with excellent/easy access from the main coast road and is literally a stone's throw from the beach. The property is fully enclosed and safe for children. Very quiet and peaceful area but still only a 10minute drive or easy bus ride to urban centers such as benalmadena costa or fuengirola. The property is located right next to the coast road/beach and is approximately 200m up a steep hill from the n-340.


Is renting a car necessary?: Although a car is recommended for site seeing, it is not required. All the essentials are within a maximum of 15 minutes walk from the villa.

Train station: 15 minutes walk (Malaga to Fuengirola);

Bus stop: 5 minutes walk (Malaga to Marbella);

Beach: 15 minutes walk;

Supermarket (open 7 days a week): 10 minutes;

Restaurants/bars: 10 minutes;

More information on the local area: The villa is situated in one of the most beautiful, quiet and less urbanized areas of the Costa del Sol. The main street outside the house is a windy and scenic 2km route up to the idyllic Benalmadena Pueblo (local village). If you enjoy walking/hiking, it is a very enjoyable 25-30min walk up to the village. Once in the village, you have panoramic views of the whole area and there are plenty of options for eating, drinking and you can find all the services of a normal town (ie. supermarket, banks, post office).
If you walk in the other direction (south), you will find yourself on the beach within 5 minutes. Once on the coast road, you can enjoy a walk either west or east in which you have beach after beach to choose from .

What to do?: When staying at Villa Juana, you can spend your whole time relaxing around your private terrace/balcony/pool and garden. For the more adventurous, there is plenty to see both culturally and nature wise in and around the province of Malaga.
If you rent a car, within a one hour drive you can enjoy scenic drives that lead you to beautiful Andalusian mountain village such as Mijas and Ronda. For those who thoroughly enjoy unspoiled/protected beaches, within a 45 minute drive East of Villa Juana are the wonderful beaches of Nerja.
For those who are into sporting activities, it is very easy to go hiking around the area as it is surrounding by local mountain and hiking paths.
Culturally, an easy/cheap train ride to Malaga centre has a lot to offer: from Moorish ruins, a Roman amphitheatre, a wonderful cathedral, the museum of Picasso.
We will always be happy to help our guests in any way for information about the local area, beaches, restaurants. Please email or phone us for any information you might require.
Discounts may be discussed for long term tenancy.

Die Lage ist traumhaft, eigener Pool, die Größe der Wohnung, die Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber sowie der Meerblick überzeugen. Die Wohnung muss regelmäßig gelüftet werden, da es ansonsten bisweilen etwas muffig riecht.

Todo excelente. Ubicación, limpieza, trato con los propietariosSi tuviera que quitar algún punto, sería la falta de un lavavajillas, que no es muy importante, pero no me gusta fregar cuando estoy de vacaciones, las luces de la piscina, que no podíamos encender por la noche y a mis hijas les hubiera gustado.., y un poco más importante sería que no hemos disfrutado de la intimidad total que yo demandaba.En general 8.5 sobre 10. Medio punto por lavavajillas y luces piscina 1 punto por el tema de la intimidad.Hemos estado muy agusto y nos lo hemos pasado genial. Gracias a los propietarios y a Vrbo.

PositivesCommunication with Sonia was good through WhatsApp – quick and helpful replies throughout our stay. Sonia even made us a lovely cake.The apartment was well stocked with washing-up liquid, hand soap, and toilet rolls.The kitchen had everything we needed – plenty of crockery, utensils, Comfortable beds had a good night’s sleep.Beautiful views from the poolside – a real highlight of the property.Downsides Towels were limited; we had to wash them daily. There are no separate towels for pool use, and you’re not allowed to take the apartment towels outside. Ants in the kitchen meant we had to be careful not to leave food out.The biggest disappointment was the pool. When we asked Taysir about cleaning and filtering, we were told the filters were on a timer. leaves were in the pool from previous storm, and while we were happy to scoop these out, the real issue was the water quality. It wasn’t clear, and the pool didn’t feel clean. On the third day, the filters were left on overnight with added chemicals, and the improvement was huge – but sadly, it was only temporary. Most of the time, the pool water was not crystal clear. We wouldn’t have let children swim for fear of swallowing the water.The outside shower by the pool didn’t work, which added to the frustration. Also, the electric wire comes from inside the pool and lying on top of the poolside. If the maitance of the pool was addressed daily then this would be a good place to stay.

Benalmadena villa

The apartment is very spacious and clean with the best equipped kitchen we have ever had at a VRBO rental. The hosts, Taysir and Sonia, were there to help when we needed. We stayed at the property for 3 weeks and it was ideal as home base to explore Andalusia - and with beautiful sunrises over the Mediterranean

Secluded but accessible.

This villa is exactly as the photos show. The decor and furniture is a little dated, but the setting is beautiful, steep hills and bendy roads, worth it for the view. Fabulous pool and lovely top garden. Hosts very quiet and helpful. Would visit again.

Relaxing retreat

We’ve had a fabulous 2 week stay at this peaceful retreat. My husband had just come out of hospital so it was perfect for him to recuperate. Sonia and Taysil are just lovely people, very unobtrusive but very helpful when required! The villa is situated on a hill so it’s a walk to everywhere but we used taxis a lot as that was our preference. Lovely holiday

Great stay

We had a great week staying at this lovely villa. Very peaceful location. The place had everything we needed. The pool was used often especially by my 5 year old daughter. Beach and restaurants a short walk down the hill and then a quick taxi ride to get back up to the Villa cost about €5 from the small supermarket. We took the M-120 bus into Fuengirola and back a couple of times, bus stop at the bottom on the hill. The hosts were absolutely amazing, very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Amplio y bien equipado

La vivienda es muy amplia para 2 dormitorios. La cocina está muy bien equipada, muy completa, no echamos nada de menos. El jardín no podía regarse este año por sequía por lo que el césped estaba seco. Tiene un buena piscina. Los propietarios muy amables intentaron resolver los pequeños problemas que suegian. Tan solo destacar que alguna cosa estaba algo deteriorada por el tiempo (o alguna avería); p.ej. aire acondicionado de un dormitorio perdia agua

Close proximity to beach & good size

Location is closely located to beach with 10-15 minute walk down the hill however larger beaches with bars / restaurants were bit further away. If you have a car driving up the hill to Benalmádena Pueblo will provide a good selection of restaurants with scenic surroundings. Bedrooms, lounge & bathrooms are good size however kitchen is quite small but has hob, fridge freezer, microwave & washing machine. Parking is available off road for one vehicle. Hosts were very friendly providing full uninterrupted access to pool & grounds. Property would benefit from a decorative refresh.

Vacances reposantes

Les photos sont identiques à la réalité. Spacieux appartement bien équipé. Jolie piscine. Litterie confortable. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et surtout très discrets. L'emplacement est intéressant. Au calme mais proche de tout en voiture. Cependant. Mieux vaut avoir une voiture pour se déplacer. Il y a un garage. Quelques points à améliorer : - couteaux pour cuisiner qui ne coupent pas du tout - odeur de renfermé dans les armoirs - une bouteille d'eau ou quelque chose à l'arrivée aurait été la bienvenue

Holidays at Villa Juana

The villa has everything you need, supermarkets such as Mercadona, are just 5 minutes drive from the house. The garden and pool are simply amazing and Sonia and Taysir gives you total privacy to enjoy them but knowing they are always available in case you need something. It takes you 5 minutes to drive to Fuengirola beach,a nice beach with all the facilities, restaurants, chiringuitos and shops. You can also drive to Benalmádena beach in just 12 minutes. Also, you can enjoy summer nights at one of the night clubs in just 10 minutes walking. Thank you so much Taysir and Sonia for being such a lovely hosts. We hope we can come back next year! Love from Sonia, Danny and Scott.

What a fantastic stay

The apartment was spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything we needed it was also lovely and cool as we remembered to lower the shutters during the day. Sonia and Tasir were lovely people and so helpful. You wouldn't know they were there (we would actually have like to spend a little time with them) they are so helpful, Tasir even offered to take us to the supermarket but we had already gotten a taxi the day before. The pool and garden area is beautiful. The villa is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood and the views are lovely. We were on a very delayed honeymoon and it was without a doubt the best holiday we've had. A big thank you again to Tareq, Sonia and Tasir for letting us stay at their beautiful villa. We will be saving to get back someday. It's 5 stars from us.

Lovely villa peaceful location - car advised

The villa was lovely and spacious, if a little dated inside, and the pool area and views were amazing. Sonia was lovely and let us check in early as we had an early flight, she even took us to the Mercadona for our first shop. The villa had everything we needed (apart from extra pillows for beds) but could have benefitted from a little folder including instructions for using air con etc and rules of the house - we had been up from 2am so was hard to take in verbal instructions. Villa is situation up a VERY steep hill from the coast which limited our movement while we were there as I couldn't manage the walk up and we relied a lot on taxis after a night out. Also, as the listing states there is a bus stop down the hill (5/10mins) but this goes to Fuengerola. If you want to go to Benalmadena or Torremolinos as we did it's a 20/25mins walk to the bus stop, part of it up hill. There is a supermarket 10/15mins walk away but is quite expensive. The Mercadona is a 25/30min walk away. We were told to have a shower before going in the pool but this stopped working 3 days into the holiday. Also, the water temperature esp in the showers was very tempremetal. The villa does have WiFi but we found this very hit and miss esp in the bedrooms. The male owner was also outside a lot which made us feel a little uncomfortable. The villa is gorgeous and the location is beautiful and we made use of the pool a lot but a car would definitely be advised as the hill is VERY steep esp with bags
