One-Off Feature

A pair of gloriously romantic little cottages tucked away in the hills near the white walled village of Mijas in Andalucia, Spain. The perfect getaway for couples wanting a romantic holiday, or friends and family who want to rent both cottages together. Shared pool and panoramic views.

General Info

Enjoy lazy days round the pool with a good book, surrounded by the beautiful and peaceful Mediterranean garden with its mountain backdrop. The garden is planted with hibiscus, jasmine, giant cacti and terracotta pots bursting with vibrantly coloured geraniums…..and only the sound of the cicadas in the heat of the day. The cottages are situated 40 metres apart from one another and both have uninterrupted panoramic mountain views and amazing sunsets.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

The cottages are only 40 minutes from Malaga and are well located for day trips to the Alhambra at Granada, a visit to the wonderful cities of Seville or Ronda - all on empty, scenic roads. hile the surrounding countryside offers total tranquility, local tapas bars, restaurants, shops and beaches are just 10-15 minutes drive. The smart cosmopolitan restaurants of Marbella, Puerto Banus and Mijas are only a 25 – 35 minute journey by car – or just spend a peaceful evening on the patio dining “al fresco” whilst watching the sun sink slowly behind the mountains!

We stayed in Casa Limones (previously stayed in Casa Los Olivos), for an amazing week of total relaxation, it was bliss to watch the sun rise over the sea, lazy days, plenty of places to sit in the sun and watch the clouds go by and then the sun setting, just wonderful. Perfect spot, we will be back.

We stayed at Los Olivos. Detached from the main house and other cottage by a quiet lane, it provided everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing stay. It offers the most amazing Andalusian Mountain View’s, with swifts and birds of prey flying over head. Maureen the owner was a lovely host, providing local knowledge of where to go and what to see. We found her help invaluable. We hope to return very soon.

A very special place to stay. Comfortable bed and beautiful, peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed barbecues watching the sunsets over the mountains, eating delicious food in nearby
Alhaurín and great walks in the countryside and coastal. Lots to see and do in the area if you can drag yourself away from the lovely pool area or comfy chairs in the shade. Maureen is a great host with good communication and any advise needed. We stayed for a week and wished it had been for a month!

Fabulous accommodation in a peaceful location but within easy reach of the coast and airport. Lots to see and do in the area as well as supermarkets and restaurants a short distance away. Loved the cottage and particularly the outdoor sitting area. The cottage is very well equipped with lots of thoughtful extras thanks to Maureen. The perfect holiday for relaxation and views whilst enjoying a glass or two of Cava. Will definitely return and recommend.

A truly "Special Place to Stay" Casa Limones is a gem of a place! We loved the stunning views, the traditional simple style of the cottage and the refreshing swimming pool set amidst lovely planting made for a perfect visit. Maureen had thought of everything to make our stay easy and comfortable and we appreciated the welcome pack of wine and essentials to get us started with our self catering. She was also very helpful when we sought advice. The location is great for the tranquility but also not too far for trips out. We hope to return one day!
