Stunning views down to Lake Viñuela and across to Mount Maroma within the Tejada National Park. Our home will appeal to those of you who enjoy the countryside but don't want to feel isolated, who wish to enjoy the real Spain in the nearby local villages.

The Andalucia / Malaga Province region


Mediterranean Sea - Beach closest to home is TORRES DEL MAR, you can be there within 20 minutes.
Nerja within half an hour from the house.
Miles of sundrenched beaches strung with seafood restaurants just great for a leisurely lunch at a Chiringuito restaurant with fresh barbecued Sardines and an ice cold cerveza or vino!
Great for exploring inland rural Andalusia and beautiful whitewashed villages such as COMPETA, SAYALONGA, SEDELLA and COMARES to name but a few.
The Tejeda National Park with Mount Maroma are easily accessed on the other side of the Lake. Organised walks and horse riding days out can be booked during your stay.
NERJA CAVES, FRIGILANA, GRANADA, SEVILLE AND MALAGA, EL TORCA and the FLAMINGO LAKE are all great places to visit from Milagrossa
The Lake Vinuela / Los Romanes area
Los Romanes hosts three main annual, and many smaller, festivals. The first is during the first weekend in May when a romeria, involving a 4 kilometre procession following a scenic route around the lake, takes place. Refreshments and tapas are provided free-of-charge along the way. The three-day event finishes in a picturesque spot beside the lake with camping, BBQs, picnics, beer tents, horse shows and other amusements and attractions.
In June, the next fiesta takes place around the market square when flamenco music and dancing, food and wine are freely provided.
The main town festival takes place in mid-August when again different types of music plus flamenco are performed and huge pans of paella are cooked in the streets.
There is a mini-market and bar in the village as well as four main restaurants around the village, about five minutes at most. It doesn't stop here though as there are many more within a half hour drive. However, on many nights it is great just to get some fresh fish or meat and use the BBQ by the pool as much as you can!

We had a great holiday and thought the house was lovely. Great views of the mountains and lake from the pool area meant we happily spent more time at the house than we had originally planned just having a totally chilled out time. The folder at the house was useful. We thought the beaches from Torrox to Nerja and beyond were the best. Favourite beach Canuelo Playa. Pebbles but plenty of marine life to see when snorkelling, and even two beach side "tavernas". Restaurants in the area meant good food was within easy reach, but most in easy reach by car. The couple looking after the house when called upon were always friendly and helpful. Canuelo Playa was their suggestion. It is a lovely area and was just spot on as far as we were concerned for a holiday |

Wow, stunning views, lovely finca, great company and nothing too much trouble to accomodate from the owners. We went a few years ago now but can't wait to go again. Not too far to get to the supermarket in Torre del Mar and it had EVERYTHING you'd possibly wish for. We had a 10 day stay and although love the beach, we didn't venture there because the villa was just so perfick and relaxing! The pool was gorgeous, evenings were divine, watching the sunset over the lake while eating asparagus or avacado or whatever took our fancy. The pool area had lighting so we had a few evening dips; I really can only say it was bliss! There is nothing NOT to like about this finca; book now xxx |

Ideal for relaxing poolside holiday or for the more adventurous a stepping stone to explore Malaga area. We had a wonderful time in this clean comfortable villa. We went with the idea of hunting out... more |
Guestbook for Casa Milagrossa, Lake Viñuela
We had the most wonderful two weeks and all we can say is ‘WOW’ at your beautiful villa and location! The views were breath taking. Dawn to dusk was just amazing and I would creep outside early some mornings to watch the sun rise! We can’t thank you both enough for opening up your holiday home to us, we truly had the most relaxing holiday and just what the family needed to recharge.
We will definitely be telling family and friends of your lovely villa in the hope that they might book their next holiday with you! Thank you.

Just to let you know that the Hare’s had a great holiday and thought the house was lovely and the views great.
It is a lovely area and was just spot on as far as we were concerned for a holiday. The folder at the house was useful and we thought the beaches from Torrox to Nerja and beyond were the best. Thanks to Carina and Jesper as well, who when called upon were always friendly and helpful. Jesper suggested Canuelo playa and it was a hit.

We had a lovely time at Milagrosa with permanent blue sky and lovely warmth. The house was very well and nicely furnished and very comfortable while the views were as good as we remembered. Our daughter stayed about two weeks in two tranches (camping between!) and our son for four days to recharge before sightseeing in Seville. We had a great holiday and thank you very much for allowing us to use your lovely house.

We had a lovely time at your villa, Linda´s brother and his wife use holiday lettings a lot throughout France and Italy and they thought it was the best villa that they had stayed in, hopefully we have converted them to Spain !! We will be booking for next year and we will put a fantastic comment on the holidayletting site, Once again thank you for everything, the villa and the little village delightful, The lady in the little shop was so lovely and got really upset when we left, possibly because her wine and cave takings will have gone down dramatically.

*Fan-flippin-tastic!! The villa, the views, everything about it. So unpretentious and so homely. We came with the intention of visiting lots of places but ended up chilling and not doing too much! Why go too far when the REAL SPAIN is right here on your doorstep? It really hits the spot. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Second time around- just as amazing! Weather in Britain pouring down all week - here high 30's all week. Couldn't think of a more relaxing place to be than Villa Milagrossa. Thanks again!

*What a beautiful villa and location, well away from the hussle and bustle - bliss! And the sunrises over the mountains-priceless. We've truly had a fantastic time and as countless before us have said - "we'll be back"!
Lucy & Oliver Wheeler,
*A taste of real Spain! Such a beautiful, tranquil setting. It was always a pleasure, after a day out, to "head for the hills". Like others we didn't venture far. We had planned a long restful 'chill-out' holiday and that's exactly what we got.
The Hills, Pedleys, and Banks,
*I wanted to say how much we all enjoyed staying at your lovely villa. We had a fabulous time which was mainly down to the villa and it's stunning location and of course, the wonderful weather. I 've been singing your villa's praises to all of my friends and family and have recommended it highly. I am not the least bit surprised that people return again and again and am looking forward to the day that I can watch the sun come up over the lake and mountains.
Luthwaites,
Arrived hot and tired but soon relaxed in the ideal tranquil setting. the views are magnificient and the silence is golden! Wonderful places to explore and fabulous food waiting for us in the local Restaurants.
