Cottage holiday rentals in Arenas

Peaceful stay for a week. Beautiful elevated location with panoramic views. Rocabella restaurant at the bottom of the track was great if you dont feel like venturing out far, with a varied menu from light bites to main dishes with burgers, steaks and fish.. My advice would would be to grab some basic groceries from a supermarket prior to going up to the house i.e coffee, bread eggs , drinks etc. I travelled with my ederly mother and the accomodation was suitable for our needs as she is unable to manage steps. There is one twin room downstairs with a bathroom and walk in shower which is next to the kitchen , lounge and outside patio so easy access for her with limited mobility. its would not be suitable for a wheelchair however. Upstairs there is a double bedroom with doors opening onto a patio with table and chairs, perfect for your morning coffee to relish the sun rise and sunsets, and also affording privacy if travelling with others in your group. I throughly enjoyed my stay. 😊

At Casa Lopez, we stayed for 1.5 months as 5 adults, a child, and a dog. Occasionally, we were up to 10 people, but space was never an issue. The villa is beautiful with stunning views of the mountains and surroundings. The mountain road to the villa adds charm, and the place feels comfortable and safe—even accessible with a Fiat 500. The villa is more spacious than the photos suggest. Rafael, the host, showed us all the amenities: pool, Jacuzzi, and game room—all in perfect order. We also worked from the villa using the internet without any issues. The area is picturesque, close to beaches, mountains, and towns, with plenty to do. The hosts are very kind and helpful, even recommending a mechanic when needed. After 1.5 months, we still felt their warmth and friendliness. Leaving Casa Lopez was emotional for us. So, I recommend the villa for vacations, as well as a place where after work you can open some wine and jump into the pool. I wish everyone an equally wonderful stay.

Carmen is heel erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze reageert heel snel op berichten. We kregen een warm welkom met een lekker fruitmandje en uitleg hoe alles werkt. Heerlijk huis om bij te komen en vakantie te vieren en dus zeker een aanrader. Enig minpuntje is slecht wegdek onderweg er naartoe en navigatie geeft eigenlijk andere locatie aan. De weg is denk ik beter begaanbaar met een terrein wagen of auto met 4 wiel aandrijving.

La casa era preciosa tenía todo lo que nos hacía falta zona muy tranquila y José super buen anfitrión recomiendo ir a esta casa 100%

We had a really great time in Madre Tierra. Rafa welcomed us and was really helpful for any request we had. The house is comfy, calm and with a great view, close to nice mountain paths. Totally recommended. Thanks again Rafa!

Casa Anna Maria was the perfect place for us providing peace, tranquility and the most beautiful scenery. The home has everything you could possibly need during your stay. The pictures don’t do it justice, it exceeded all our expectations.

Wir hatten ein traumhaftes Wochenende im Monte Naturivo! Die Unterkunft liegt inmitten wunderschöner Natur und ist der perfekte Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Alles war absolut sauber und sehr gepflegt – man merkt, wie viel Liebe hier in jedes Detail gesteckt wird. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom tollen Pool, dem entspannenden Hamam und dem wunderschönen Yoga-Raum – ideal zum Abschalten und Wohlfühlen. Die Gastgeberin war unglaublich freundlich und herzlich, wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt. Monte Naturivo ist wirklich ein besonderer Ort, den wir jedem wärmstens empfehlen können.

Just retuned from a 1 week stay at the Cassita! Lovely and peaceful with beautiful surroundings and plenty to do if you’re happy to drive. Our two children loved the pool too. Kila was very responsive and friendly and we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Thanks again.

Pablo is a good host, very friendly and responsive. Our coffee pot broke the first day and he came by within 20 minutes to replace it. The house is basic but comfortable and has everything you need. Location and views amazing! Didn’t find the road up as scary as other reviews and it was a quick 10 min ride to the beautiful village of Frigiliana. All the restaurants we dined at were fabulous! Very nice place if you want peace & privacy. Our dogs loved it!

Der Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft "Las Lavaderas" von Angel war hervorragend. Durch die ruhige und private Atmosphäre haben wir uns bestens erholt. Ein perfekter Ort zum Entspannen. Das Haus ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit Angel funktionierte perfekt, freundlich und stets zeitnah.

This was one of the best holidays we have had. The mountains are incredibly beautiful, the town is not too far away, Malaga is great for beaches, town, restaurants, shopping and history! Juan is very friendly and happy to help and manager Jenni is always on hand to answer questions and visit to make sure that everything is going smoothly. The pool is compact but still wonderful for a dip at any time. It is clean and very well maintained. The terrace is beautiful to sit at all times. This is a wonderful place. Thank you for our stay!

Super gezellig knus huisje, met geweldig terras! Het dorp heeft van alles, vooral vriendelijke mensen! Luca is een geweldige host, super goede service! Heel erg bedankt Luca!

Der Aufenthalt war einfach super! Wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Unsere Gastgeber waren stets hilfsbereit und die Lage des Hauses war atemberaubend und sehr ruhig. Die Aussicht war einfach traumhaft egal ob vom Pool aus oder von der Terrasse! Auch die Einrichtung war sehr gut abgestimmt und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Wir haben uns in den 4 Wochen wie zuhause gefühlt und unseren Familienurlaub in der schönen ruhigen Umgebung sehr genossen. Unsere Ausflüge nach Granada, Córdoba, Gibraltar, Malaga und in die nähere Umgebung waren mit dem Auto gut zu machen. Da im Winter weniger Urlauber da sind, konnten wir alle Sehenswürdigkeiten ohne Wartezeiten besuchen! Auto ist ein Muss. Wir haben uns übrigens sehr schnell an die kurvigen Straßen gewöhnt und hatten mit der Anfahrt zum Haus kein Problem. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Vielen Dank :D

Una casa muy bonita, espaciosa para un grupo de amigos para disfrutar de la naturaleza, muy limpia y ordenada.

Really lovely spot with amazing, large pool, that you can actually swim in, even with a group of eight, outdoor seating to relax and enjoy views. Our group appreciated all the separate bathrooms and cooking indoors and out and eating on the balcony. Host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! Malaga, Marbella, and Granada are all about an hour to an hour and a half away. El Torcal ( remarkable rock formations on a hike) is only 1 hour. Walkable little market for beer/wine. We came by car, so not sure about public transportation. Do be aware that there is no dishwasher, but the lovely unique dishes are great. Occasionally you hear neighboring dogs , but the road is quiet. I especially recommend going to Museo Etnológico de Riogordo a little local museum about Andalusian culture/ historical life it is a gem off the tourist beaten path. Enjoy! Our Family loved our time:)

Het is een heel gezellig huisje in een erg mooie omgeving. De ontvangst was erg warm en alles was superproper en goed voorzien (qua keukengerei, handdoeken, beddengoed, ...). Het huisje ligt een beetje afgelegen, maar met een mooi uitzicht en toch ook goed bereikbaar. Een aanrader!

Casa Alicia je idealne ubytovanie pre tych, co maju radi pokoj a krasnu prirodu, ktora je jedinecna hlavne na jar. Zial sme mali v aprili trichu blaznive pocasie, striedalo sa slnecne pocasie s dazdom aj chladom, ale to nie je chyba hostitelky. Toto ubytovanie odporucam pre tych, ktori hladaju ticho a klud.

A wonderful villa in a wonderful location. So tranquil and relaxing. No road noise, not overlooked and beautiful views. Everything jn the house is of high quality, particularly the kitchen. So much space, we loved it. We were there in April and the weather was a bit hit and miss. The pool was a bit chilly, but we still went in every day.

What a fantastic place with amazing surroundings. We loved it so much. The incredible views, the lovely various cosy places to sit outside and chill at the pool or BBQ. Hiking up the mountain behind the house was a surprising lovely walk with a perfect 360 view on top. Amazing mango trees everywhere and lovely flowers all around. We just love this Andalusian hidden gem!

Marcos was and is a fantastic host and the property is situated beautifully if you prefer a quiet and secluded/private holiday. A car is a must if you want to venture out everyday but that’s what we like as a family holiday. The house has everything you need, the views are stunning and the privacy being at the top of the hill means you are not overlooked by neighbours at all. We will definitely come back here and look forward to the next stay.

Ich war mit meiner 17 Jahre alten Hündin, zu Gast bei Rosa Maria. Es war für uns eine tolle Zeit. Das Haus ist zwar recht abgelegen, und ohne Auto schwer zu erreichen , aber wir haben die Ruhe und Idylle sehr genossen. Morgens beim Frühstück der schöne Blick auf das Meer , und am Abend bei einem Glas Rotwein unschlagbare Sonnenuntergänge. Für uns war es genau das Richtige 🤗 !

Vi stannade i 11 dagar och trivdes väldigt bra. Fridfullt läge med vacker omgivning. Huset var rent och prydligt. Värden var väldigt hjälpsam, trevlig och snabb på att svara på frågor.

My family and I stayed at Antonio’s place the last week of August. It was perfect for our family of 4. 2 adults 2 children (7 & 10). The accommodation was extremely clean and very private, the villa is hidden amongst the vegetation. The pool was such a delight it was so warm the kids spent most of their time here. We did have a small rental car which made getting about easier, most amenities are within a 5/10minute drive. There is a small cafe a short walk downhill away. We would highly recommend this place.
