The Costa del Sol/Malaga region

This sun-soaked stretch of the Spanish coastline in the Province of Malaga, bordering on the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Granada is steeped in historic, artistic and natural heritage. Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra de Tejeda under the benign gaze of Mount Maroma the many white villages have been influenced and shaped by their Moorish past. The Cortijo is set amongst a network of Roman roads, which criss-cross this area of rural Spain allowing you to feel part of its history. Discover the magic of the Alhambra in Granada, visit the sensual and faintly decadent city of Seville, gaze into the stunning gorge at Ronda, or look in on the world famous rock apes of Gibraltar.

Velez Malaga / Arenas area

The villa is situated in the mountains of rural Andalucia and is approached from the main Velez Malaga/Arenas road by 1.5 km on the old Roman road network of tracks which criss crosses the entire countryside. A dream for the walker, artist, bird watcher, mountain biker or simply for those who wish to lounge in the sun with nothing more than a pile of books and a glass of wine. There is a large library of books which should suit all tastes. There is also a wide selection of CDs and an iM310 Digital Speaker System for iPod and MP3 players.

The area of Arenas village is home to the densest population of chameleons in Europe and is the mascot of the village. The village church still has its minaret from Moorish times and the ruins of the Castle of Bentomiz, which was one of the last to fall when the Christians invaded, can be seen from the villa. The village itself is a meadering maze of streets which still retains the magic and atmosphere of old Spain. The residents are warm and friendly and ever ready to offer help or advice.

Guestbook for Cortijo Los Pinos

On behalf of all of us who enjoyed your superb villa over the last two weeks I would like to thank you both for the care and attention you showed us during our stay. We all benefited from the peace and tranquility your property provides. From my initial enquiry to Carole, back in October, to the meal prepared by Tricia on Friday your service and attention to the details that matter has been exceptional.

The one word I would chose to describe everything about this holiday from the initial enquiry to the meal cooked for us on our last night is QUALITY ~ all the way through. No air brushing of photos with this one!! What you see is definitely what you get. Thank you Carole and Patricia for a superior vacation.

A rare find, a villa with nooks and crannies for everyone allowing lots of privacy or interaction. The house had everything we could want, books, games and wonderful extras for our baby daughter Grace. Amazing views and wonderful tranquility. May all your guests be as contented as we are!

Thank you for making our holiday perfect, it will always be special, a beautiful villa, stunning views, a lovely, lovely romantic setting.

This has been one of the best holidays we have ever had. The villa is perfect, the views breathtaking and the boys just did not want to leave the pool. A wonderful, peaceful, relaxed holiday. The early morning stillness, the views, the bee eaters, will live with us for a long time.
