It has taken us so long to write our review because we went through a phase of coming to grips with the reality of getting back home (cold and rainy England.

Bajo La Maroma is awesome. Our crew comprised of six people (2 families) , that is 4 adults and two children. The villa was very clean and tidy, evrything was in place and ready for use. It was very comfortable and the outdoors was really good. We were there in December so we were warned that weather might not be good (we had no idea what they were on about). The weather was lovely, although in the evening it would get very mild. The mountainous surroundings is very scenic, we went for a drive around and the roads and views are just amazing. 

The locals are very helpful and kind, we made a few friends who hooked us up with firewood and a few other basics. We had a fire every evening and it was really good. In the morning we would wake up to a warm sunrise and we were having breakfast by the poolside. Malaga wasn't very far so we did our shopping there on a couple of occassions (their Lidl I'd very good)

We would definately recommend a visit to the caves in Nerja and also to the gorgeous town of Ronda. For us Bajo La Maroma was a good base for staying even if we had to travel during the day to go and see other places it was always good to know that at the end of the day we were going to chat the night away by the fireplace. 

We didn't get to see the chameleons but all the while I had the feeling that they could see us.

Bajo La Maroma is definitely value for money. I'd want to go back and stay there. Give it a go and you will not be disappointed. 

Bajo La Maroma

Large Group from Wolverhampton, United Kingdom

What a fantastic 9 days we recently spent at Bajo La Maroma, spacious and clean set in an amazing location with mountains as its backdrop. The pictures do not do it justice.  The pool was very welcoming when you needed to have a cool down, we also made use of the barbeque which I have to say cooks very fast.  The villa has ideal seating positions in the porch to sit in the shade when needed , and was a great area when eating your evening meals outside or having an early morning coffee. 
This area of Spain is always a pleasure to visit, Sheila's villa has been our best stay to date. Heather (neighbour) was very helpful, be prepared to say hello to her dogs who she walks everyday and can't resist saying hi . We had an extremely relaxing holiday, all our box's were ticked!  :) 

Family from Swansea, United Kingdom

We had 10 days here in April 16, weather was lovely. The villa has a super location with panoramic views. Quiet location, nearest village was a good 30mins walk up a steep hill but again the views made it worth it. Canillas de Aceituno is a small but fully equipped village with little stores selling all you would need and the numerous bars making sure your never in need of a beer!

Family from Chorley, United Kingdom

We've just arrived back after a perfect week at this villa, beautiful setting, peaceful and private. Very well equipped and spacious, everything our  party needed  (5 guest from age 6 to 82!) A car a must to make the most of the surroundings, friendly restaurant as you enter Canillas de Aceituno approx 5 minutes by car, beach at Torre de mar half an hour away, Alhambra palace Granada 1hr 40  ( not to be missed ) And Ronda 2 hrs ( again not to be missed!) We had the greatest time, Heather and Mike were really helpful,  the kids loved Toby the dog and the chameleons in the carob tree.  A perfect Holiday.  Thank you.  

Family from Sunderland, United Kingdom

We had a lovely holiday in this villa which is set in a beautifull area with stunning mountain views. The small village is lovely with a couple of restaurants and a nice cheap bar in the center, and a small shop which has most things you need. Vllez malaga is a short drive

Family from Llannefydd, United Kingdom

A lovely villa with spectacular views of the bay and everything you could want/need for a great relaxing holiday. A car is a must given the steep climb to the secure compound. The pool area is excellent and right outside the villa (so no long treks for a quick dip). We stayed in September and the rest of the complex was pretty much vacant. We found Almunecar by accident last year and I am personally in live with the place. This villa made our most recent stay all the better. Highly recommended.

La Rijana, sea-view villa

Couple from St Helens, United Kingdom

The villa is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday both inside and outside.  We enjoyed the tranquillity of the mountain location.  The villa was light, airy and roomy inside and the decor and facilities were clean and modern.

We particularly liked the insect screens on the windows so you could let the air in without worrying about the bugs.  We made good use of the CDs and books – particularly the Spanish/English dictionary which was very useful.

The direction instructions were very good and we found the villa with ease, even though it was in a remote location.

Heather was helpful and welcoming.

 From Takeley, United Kingdom

A perfect place for quiet holidays. Very beautiful and convenient house, patio, swimming pool. As well, nice views around. Children were also happy about the house and pool, liked to wait until they heard bells and  watch goats with a shepherd  up in the mountains. I liked that the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, as well nice and new bathrooms.

Lithuania

 From Vilnius, Lithuania

We have recently spent a very pleasant 2 weeks at the charming Vila Bajo La Maroma. Everything its more beautiful than we expected, the well equiped house, the fantastic landscapes, and very enjoyable pool.
The price was decent considering the period. This rustic vila its ideally placed for a peaceful and relaxing holyday in the traditional Andalusian hill with the beautiful surrounding mountains.
Weve already passed the word on to friends about our experience here.

Romania

 From Bucharest, Romania

It was wonderful to feel the heat of the sun from the pool side terrace in the middle of November especially as its so cold back in the UK!

My friend and I have had a comfortable stay in a  lovely spacious villa set high in the mountain hilltop with stunning views.  Its a bit of a scary drive around the hairpin bends!  Its very nippy in the night so extremely thankful for the gas heaters supplied, which kept us nice and toasty in the evenings.

Most of our time was spent driving and sightseeing in Granada, Cordoba, and Mabella as well as checking out the nearby coastal towns.  So it was great to come back to the villa and relax infront of an open fire and a good book. 

All in all a nice holiday and the change of scenary with added sunshine did both of a world of good :-) We would definately consider to come back again in the summer with a group of us to take advantage of the pool and barbeque!

Thank you Shiela and Heather for promptly taking care of our initial problem on arrival.
