About the home

El Pilar is a stunning traditional style Spanish villa has been refurbished to an extremely high standard. It has stunning sea coastal views and views of the olive and mango groves strewn across the valley below. Set in a superb location this beautiful villa not only offers you privacy, but also has everything you need for a relaxing holiday in the sun. Enjoy the complimentary welcome pack and bask in the Spanish sun all day whilst the kids splash about in the pool. Come evening, fire up the barbie to a few glasses of sangria. Once dinner is taken care of why not relax in the hot tub and watch the sun set over the sea.

The nightlife of Velez Malaga and Torre Del Mar is only 10 - 15 minutes away giving you the best of both worlds. There are also many and varied activities and sights to explore in the region beginning with the beaches and flurry of the resort town of Torre Del Mar. At El Pilar you can have the best of both worlds with the stunning views and remoteness of a mountain villa, and a short drive to bustling beaches and shopping centres. El Pilar is ideal for those planning a holiday with friends or extended family.

So why not get the whole gang together on one big holiday where everyone can enjoy a relaxing sun filled holiday and warm summer nights around the BBQ.... make it a home away from home ....... Set in the mountains above Velez Malaga and Torre Del Mar is ideal for those who enjoy walking and hiking whereas golfers can enjoy a round at Bavaria Golf course, a short drive away.

Further details

- For each full week you have booked at the villa you will receive a weekly maid cleaning service and linen service. This will already have been done prior to your initial arrival. Complimentary Maid service is restricted to once per FULL WEEK booked. A full week consists of 7 days or nights. If you have booked a few days extra beyond your initial week eg. 9-10 days, and not a full week extra you will not be entitled to a complimentary extra maid service.

Extra maid services can however be ordered if you have booked a few extra days, or if you just wish to have maid service more frequently. Extra maid service includes cleaning and laundry changes and costs £250 per service. These services must be pre ordered and pre paid for prior to arrival, you can book and pay for these services at any time prior to your arrival so long as you allow time for payment clearance.

- Please make sure you have travel insurance, we will not be liable for inadequate insurance coverage, flight delays or flight cancellations.

- We do have a water limit of 10,000 litres per week, as water is a very precious and expensive commodity in this part of the world. Our limit should be more than plenty for you but to ensure that water is not wasted we do charge a £50 fee per 1000 litres used over the basic limit. We also have a limit on the electricity, your limit will be 650 kWh per week and will also be more than adequate for a weekly usage but to discourage leaving lights on needlessly (especially the swimming pool) , should the limit be exceeded extra cost will be incurred at £30 per 50 kWh .

The gas hob in the BBQ house comes with a gas bottle ready to use but we do only provide you with one bottle per week, which should be more than adequate if the hob is turned off properly when not used, any further bottles used will incur a fee of £35. But if you are sensible there is no reason for any of these fees to be incurred. You can enjoy the facilities and so long as you are mindful of wastage then the fees will not apply.

- Nursery packs are available on request for a supplementary fee of £35 per week per pack. One nursery pack includes travel cot, cot bedding and highchair. Children's' plastic plates, bowls, cups, knives, forks and spoons are also provided complimentary at the villa.

- The villa can cater for 12 people on beds but as the 2 extra beds and the campbeds are extra beds which need to be set up, there is a linen and set up charge of £15 per bed or per campbed, per week, that applies should you wish to utilize these.

- Guests are reminded they are booking a self catering villa therefore are expected to keep the villa in good clean order, should excessive cleaning be required it will incur extra fees.

- Guests are also reminded that no breakables or glassware is allowed around the pool, as broken glass possibly falling in the pool is a serious health and safety issue and will result in the pool being drained and refilled, a cost you would therefore be liable for.

Conditions

- A 40% NON refundable deposit is required on booking
- The remaining 60% balance is due 10 weeks before departure to the villa.
- A fully refundable (subject to satisfactory property inspection and inventory check) damages deposit of £700 is required 10 weeks prior to departure to the villa.

The Costa del Sol region

This region enjoys around 330 days of sunshine a year with an average temperature of 22 degrees perfect for that summer holiday. The region has plenty to see and do with golfing, horse riding, shopping and water sports readily available. The spectacular Spanish countryside is well worth driving around for its vast olive groves, mango laden plantations and traditional white villages. With the city of Malaga and the many coastal resorts like Nerja and Torre Del Mar, you will find plenty to do from sunbathing on the beach, to shopping, restaurants and lively nightlife.

The Velez Malaga / Arenas area

The beach town of Torre Del Mar is about 10-15 minutes drive away and has sandy beaches, a waterpark, plenty of shops, restaurants, tapas bars and clubs to keep you occupied. You can also hire cars, mopeds and bicycles and book tours around the area and to Seville, Cordoba, Granada etc. It has many beachside restaurants which serve fantastically fresh seafood. During the summer you will find Torre offers a busy nightlife with a night market and artisans and musicians lining the beachfront, along with summer beach bars and parties.

Torre del Mar has a lot of atmosphere and local flavour with numerous shops, restaurants and bars. A 500 metre seafront stretch, called El Copo, is a continual line of bars and discotheques which are open until 6.00h every morning in the summer and at weekends during the winter. Along an adjoining stretch of the seafront there is a summer night market open until 3.00h every morning. There are wide sandy beaches flanked by a long beachfront promenade with pretty views along the coast and of the hills and mountains behind dotted with white houses and villages. Two kilometres to the east there is a fishing port and beautiful marina at La Caleta de Velez.

Velez Malaga is about 8 minutes drive away and also has an array of shops, restaurants and tapas bars along with local street market stalls. Golfing is readily available. The town lies in the wide valley of the River Vélez from where its main resources are found. Fortaleza - built in the 13th century, the castle stands on top of a hill in the centre of Arrabal de San Sebastián, the oldest district of the town. The 16 metre high tower, built to guard the town, still stands in good repair as a symbol of the Moorish civilisation of Velez-Malaga.
Whatever your interest I'm sure you will find something for everyone in the area.

“Cortijo El Pilar had it all” Cortijo El Pilar had it all. Fantastic pool and spa, magnificent views and many cosy places for relaxing, dining or enjoying a drink with stunning views. We could overlook the pool from most places, which were important to us, due to small children Response: we are so glad that our guests enjoyed the place as much as they did, they were impeccable guests and we pride ourselves on trying as hard as we can to make your holiday as relaxing as possible and we always appreciate their feedback, we have many return guests and they are all more than welcome back anytime! A great guest party is worth its weight in gold and we always try to reward those who return to us. Thank you for your review it means a lot. Regards from El Pilar.

Guestbook for Cortijo El Pilar Luxury Villa

"Absolutely stunning villa! Had an amazing time and I am definitely booking to go again!!
The villa is in an amazing spot, so peaceful with incredible views, it makes you not want to even leave the place! I'd definitely recommend hiring a car as it's worth a drive into the town and also to the other nearby towns. We enjoyed sitting out on the massive terrace in the evenings and having a barbecue, then a dip in the pool or hot tub!
Don't think you'd find a more beautiful villa than this one, it has everything you need and the owners are lovely very accommodating too! We can't wait to go back there!
Thanks" - F. Stephens, Wales.

"Well, pictures could lie, but in this case I must say that the villa is even greater than shown on your web-site! All of us enjoyed the villa and the great facilities and opportunities." - J. Pedersen. DK

"we returned from our holiday at Cortijo El Pilar on Sunday and I can tell you that we had a really good holiday" - M. Brock. UK
