The garden is a mixture of mature exotic palms amongst the rocks as well as wild olives and carobs filled with songbirds on top of a hillside at the southern edge of the pretty 'white village' of Gaucin. "The best view we have seen in Spain" said one travel company. "A truly stunning property with 'wow factor'!" Gaucin is 600 metres (2000 ft) above sea level and the secluded villa and pool afford spectacular open views down the Genal River valley to the Mediterranean and North Africa beyond. The altitude moderates temperatures in the summer compared to the coast or inland Spain. There are 3 'fine-dining' restaurants with a walk of less than 10 minutes and several good tapas bars and other restaurants. The villa has a double-height open-plan living room with a minstrels' gallery leading to a large covered veranda. Through an archway there is dining room which leads to its own covered, outdoor dining terrace. 4 of the 5 bedrooms and the main living rooms have French windows onto their own terrace or balcony and there are other terraces around the garden. Terracotta floors, bright rugs, Moroccan pots, comfortable seating inside and out, Satellite TV, WiFi, flowers, views, birds, sunshine! If your dates are not available, we also manage the neighbouring villa which has the same views and an infinity pool. On the VRBO website it is titled "Luxurious, Private, Villa in Gaucin". A few extra notes: \- A gardener visits very early morning in hot weather to water pots, a daily pool-cleaner, a multilingual House Manager and two lovely cleaners. \- It has secure off-street parking for 2 cars. Further cars can be easily parked nearby. \- The base price indicated per night or week is based on 6 people staying. For each additional person up to a max of 10 there is an extra charge to cover laundry and cleaning. The "Host Fee" in your quote is the final cleaning charge. \- Flat screen TV with Internet television & collection of Blu Ray films. \- The village centre is only a few minutes walk for tapas, restaurants, shops. \- Children are welcome but parents must consider that there are stairs down to the swimming pool and steep drops below the pool so young children will need constant supervision. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 6 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in room - No elevator - Tile flooring in public areas - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking is only allowed outside, not in the house ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Golf - Snow sports gear - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Solar energy - Unit size: 2,153 square feet ## Similar properties ![Indoor pool, 3 outdoor pools, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/990000/984100/984004/5aa1744d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marriott's Playa Andaluza New Golden Mile - Pool - Spa - Kids pool - Waterslide 9.4 Exceptional 288 reviews CA $260 CA $286 total includes taxes & fees Mar 17 - Mar 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=984004&PinnedHotelID=984004&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 indoor pools, 3 outdoor pools, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/910000/903200/903183/w4000h2662x0y0-397e2f21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort Marbella - Pool - Hot tub - Spa - Kids pool 9.2 Wonderful 605 reviews CA $365 CA $401 total includes taxes & fees Mar 1 - Mar 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=903183&PinnedHotelID=903183&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool, 3 outdoor pools, pool umbrellas, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1090000/1089100/1089089/eab3bd8a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel Riu Costa del Sol - All Inclusive Torremolinos - Pool - Breakfast included - All-inclusive - Spa 8.6 Excellent 1,001 reviews CA $243 CA $267 total includes taxes & fees Mar 1 - Mar 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=1089089&PinnedHotelID=1089089&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 outdoor pools, pool umbrellas, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1770000/1765400/1765313/f7b9accb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol Benalmádena - Pool - Hot tub - All-inclusive - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 633 reviews CA $134 CA $147 total includes taxes & fees Mar 2 - Mar 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-02&endDate=2026-03-03&selected=1765313&PinnedHotelID=1765313&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 restaurants, breakfast, lunch, dinner served;

We drove down to the coast twice to swim in the sea and enjoy the beaches and even got up early to catch a ferry to spend the day in Tangier. As for the house it lived up to all our expectations and the infinity pool was just lovely with lots of shade/sunny spots around the pool. The well stocked garden was a joy to walk around and was tended by a gardener.We would love to come back one day. Thank you Mark for being the perfect host. ##### Petra Jill A.

The pictures do not do the location and views justice, a truly stunning place. There was ample room for the 8 guests with various spaces to relax, eat and sunbathe, and we particularly enjoyed eating as the sun set on the terrace. Gaucin is a great place with lots of restaurants and groceries available and we were lucky enough to be at the first food festival held over the weekend. As with other reviews the are a few things in the villa that could be updated, but this did not deter from the stay. I really didn’t want leave and to me that says everything about the villa and hosts ##### Joanna G.

We were not disappointed when arriving at the villa. The property is amazing - spacious and beautifully decorated. As a multi-generational family of 9, we had all we could possibly need. Space, great weather - the grandchildren fully enjoyed the pool, wonderful walks and the most breathtaking and stunning views. When not in the water, the children spent their time vulture spotting. Mark is a superb host and helped us source medical care for a family emergency. He responded quickly to emails and was only a phone call away if needed. We certainly all fell in love with the village and I would highly recommend a stay there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gesine T. Nov 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### beautiful house, beautiful view We spent two weeks in October/November 23 in this very beautiful house with view to the coast and on clear days till Marocco and enjoyed our time there very much!! we were a bit unlucky with the wheather (deperately needed rain) but enjoyed the open fire place and the well equipped kitchen; the terrace, the view and the pool on sunny days are just breathtaking. The area is beautiful. If you are up for driving, you can go on stunning excursions - to Grazalema, Zahara, Sétenil, Ronda, the Caminito del Rey and take great walks in the Sierra de Grazalema. Because we liked this mountain area very much, we didn't much go to the coast (just once in two weeks) but rather enjoyed the sunny days by the house. Both Mark and Esther (the house manager) were very helpful whenever we had questions or needed help with some house management. Thanks for offering this villa maravilloso up for rent, our group of eight (between 13 and 82) spent happy times here (and there is enough space and privacy for everyone)!!! Gaucín is also a lot of fun to explore, there are many restaurants and tapas bar, even livelier in summer but also in October there were enough opportunities do dine out. ##### Gesine T. Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derrick L. Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Short Stay In Gaucin Amazing property in a beautiful spanish mountain village. Both the owners and the property manager were extrmemly reliable. Our messages were answered promptly and any concerns were addressed. The pool and the gardens are stunning! The amount of effort that goes into the upkeep of this property is incredible. The only downside of the property really is the wifi. The wifi was really only available in the living room, kitchen and balcony adjacent to the dining area. Both bedrooms in the main house were dead zones and the Master bedroom was only a faint signal that kept cutting out. I realize there was a booster but I would highly recommend adding another or reconfiguring the wifi to expand the coverage. If you want to take your property experience next level I would explore options that allow lodgers to access it poolside. I had work emails to respond to and it would ha e been amazing if wifi available by the pool. The only other suggestion would be more lighting by the pool for ambiance. (Consider maybe investing in some solar lights) We added some to my folks backyard and it made all the difference. With all that said I would still rate the whole experience 4.75 / 5 ! If you want a relaxing experience with an amazing view this property does not disappoint! ##### Derrick L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy A.

Kitchen facilities were very good and well equipped However some areas of the villa were looking tired and needed freshening up. Bed linen and pillows definitely needs to be renewed ##### William O.

A group of 8 of us stayed for four wonderful nights in Gaucin. A perfect reprieve from the world. Everything was perfect: the views, the house, the pool. Thank you ##### Katie R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pierre P. Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Amazing property with spectacular views.Parking for one large vehicle or two smaller ones within the gated parking lot. The four of us stayed in four different bedrooms and found all beds were comfortable.Kitchen was well equipped and the house beautifully decorated. There is no A/C but nights were cool in October and we opened the windows. The only negative was that we could hear dogs barking at a distance in the middle of the night.Gaucin is a very pretty little town out of the very busy tourist area of the coast. We felt safe and the town has some very good restaurants. We would stay there again for sure. ##### Pierre P.
