We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful villa. It’s a little piece of heaven with everything one needs. The pool is lovely and the outdoor space & views are exceptional. Close enough to Nerja & Cómpeta, there are a huge variety of excellent eateries to choose from, and the food we ordered from Keri was sublime! A little piece of paradise that I’d highly recommend.

Fabulous family holiday
We had a really great family week at Villa Carlota - it was very relaxing and we all enjoyed the gorgeous weather, the pool and the beautiful views and going into Competa … and not much else, though we braved the slightly hairy drive to the Lost Village & had a delicious meal at Canillas de Albaida and El Cortijo in Competa ! The Villa is very well equipped with everything you need and comfortable - it was all very easy - highly recommend and thank you Liz and Ceri! Hasta luego!

Room with a View
An out of the way location which suited us perfectly. Nearby villages and attractions within easy reach. Spectacular views across the mountain range with neighbours a mere dot on the horizon. Access track beyond the villa not for the faint hearted but practice makes perfect. Well equipped Villa but twin bedrooms would benefit from integral air con as fans and stand alone units have little impact...but don't be put off...like us, you'll want to return!

I would go back
The bad first, when they tell you to use there directions they provide do exactly that. We used Google maps and it got us to a different location with an identical pool, where there secret code also worked on the lock of the wrong place. Contact on Virbo is in UK, not local. Local contact can only be reached by WhatsApp. If you do not have WhatsApp, you will need it to communicate with them. Pool was not heated as we paid for in advance but the owner immideatly credited us back when I brought it up. Local contact was extremely nice and helped us get over the initial check in issue but no cell service at location made it challenging. House itself was great. Very clean, also had option of pre buying grocery’s which was a wonderful addition. Overall great place and they were very polite dealing with our frustration upon checking. Follow there driving directions and make sure you have “WhatsApp” for communication and it will go smoothly. Place itself was plenty of room and everything worked. Well stocked kitchen with cooking equipment and being a little out in the country was very peaceful. Just enough of a dirt road to make you appreciate being off the beaten path without any real driving issues. Nice place, I would recommend it.

Villa was wonderful, really clean and spacious. Villa manager was very helpful. Pool was perfect and not overlooked. A very relaxing holiday and the views can't be beaten in this part of Andalucia. Can't recommend Villa Carlota enough. Can't think of one fault. Thank you.

Still perfect!
I stayed at Villa Carlota with the same group of girlfriends around 6 years ago and it was just as, if not more, wonderful as the last time! The Villa is pristine and everything you need is to hand. The pool and views are perfect. Sunrise is a real treat with a morning coffee, and we sat and watched the ISS go over on a coupe of evenings. Competa, which is very pretty, is just a few km's away and has a couple of small supermarkets and a few cafe and a restaurant or two. Liz is lovely to deal with and the villa is obviously a much loved home from home for her family. Can't wait to return again in the not too distant future. Thank you Liz

Cant praise Villa Carlota, owner Liz and villa manager Ceri enough. The villa is absolutely perfect in every way, location, ( walking into the natural park to Acebuchal etc is awesome) view ( from the panoramic windows is stunning), quality of the villa and a fantastic pool everything has been thought of ( even eggcups 😀). Cant recommend this villa enough. Communication with Liz and Ceri has been faultless. Other VRBO owners could learn things from them If ever staying near Competa again, I'll be trying to book Villa Carlota, thats for certain.

Return visit to this beautiful villa in a stunning location, which is still as perfect and relaxing as our first visit 4 years ago! Liz, the host, has thought of everything you could need on holiday, all of which is fantastic quality and I would definitely recommend purchasing the essentials package and also ordering some of Ceri's delicious homemade food.

Beautiful, well presented property with plenty of flexibility for family.
This is our second time renting Carlotta and we are never disappointed. With everything you need for a relaxing stay, the property has a well equipped kitchen complete with all the pots and utensils whether eating in or taking out (I particularly like the sandwich boxes and ice packs). We are a family of 4 and this was the perfect property for us to enjoy family time with the beautiful pool, views and excellent WiFi!! Well located for visiting Competa, Torox, Nerja, Frigliana and the surrounding areas. Brilliant booking experience and check in was seamless with regular contact from both the property owner, Liz and Ceri who looked after us for check in and during our stay. We’ll be back again soon! Thank you for letting us share your beautiful property.

Lovely relaxing stay once again!
Great to return and enjoy the tranquil location and wonderful views at Vila Carlota. The property was immaculately clean, spacious and well equipped. I would definitely recommend the home cooked food ordered for our arrival which was prepared in generous portion sizes. Tempting as it was to stay relaxing at the poolside, we ventured into Competa village for a meal in the square and a visit to the ice cream parlour, which is a must. We also enjoyed the scenery in the local walks of the national park.

Lovely Villa with Lots of Space and Views
Although some way up the hills from the coast this is a lovely restful retreat with some very tranquil touches. The rooms are of good size, cool where necessary. Only minor issues would be if booking this property with small children; the pool is down a garden path and cannot be seen from the main house. The house faces north/east-ish so mid afternoon the sun has disappeared however the views of the National Park are gorgeous. One final frustration was the dust from the track seems to shower everything with a layer of dust. Frustrating as it really is a gorgeous villa.

We really enjoyed our return to Carlota. Despite Covid restrictions for the journey, it was well worth it. It truly is a beautiful location with the views over the National Park. The villa is clean, well equipped and very spacious inside and out with a good size heated pool. The home cooked food we ordered for our arrival was lovely, with generous portion sizes. We would recommend horse riding nearby at Los Olivillos who cater for complete beginners to the more experienced. We also enjoyed visiting Competa Village with its picturesque square and great ice cream parlour, and Nerja for Burriana beach. There is also a short walk to the local pub that was well worth the effort, as they serve great bar meals.

Superb stay in Spain yet again
Fabulous time spent at Villa Carlota again! We keep coming back here because the Villa, pool and grounds are always so clean and well kept. The views are stunning with so many local walks to do - we hiked to the Lost Village and had a delicious long lunch this time. Competa has a great selection of restaurants and bars to suit all and it’s only a short car journey to Nerja and the surrounding beaches. Shout Out to Becy who provided us with a fridge full of supplies and home cooked meals on arrival PLUS an amazing Wedding Anniversary carrot 🎂! Thank you 😊

Peaceful tranquillity
The description states "Charming" which is spot on. Nestled in a beautiful spot in the Andalusian hills this immaculately presented property is a gem amongst gems. Every comfort has been provided by the owners who are always very responsive to any questions which we found very comforting. The property manager was always "on hand" to assist with anything including a comprehensive "home cooked" Spanish menu at very reasonable prices if you didn't feel like cooking in the well equipped modern kitchen or the BBQ perched on the patio edge with glorious views. A car is essential, and the picturesque village of Competa is just 8 kilometres further up the hills. This has a buzzing centre full of cafe's serving traditional tapas and various other dishes but avoid this on Mondays as most are closed. (as we found out). Maria taxi's are very reliable and quite reasonable as suggested by the info pack. We intended to take a few walks in the National Park but the pool was to inviting and spent most of our time in it. We would definitely return as our 10 days was fabulous even with the Covid restrictions it was well worth the bother. ps if you are driving to Malaga airport is it worth leaving extra time as the motorway gets very busy at peak times which can be very stressful when catching a plane ! All in all a fantastic holiday thank you Liz.

Perfect villa
Everything about our holiday was perfect. Liz's communication before we arrived was brilliant, we were met and taken to the villa which was great as finding it for the first time might be tricky, and the welcome pack in the fridge was a real bonus. The villa itself was beautiful, it felt so homely and everything we could have possibly needed was supplied. The view was stunning, and we had the privilege of watching some amazing sunrises. We'd paid for the pool to be heated which was well worth it. It was so warm, so we spent a lot of time in it, it was my daughter's favourite part of the holiday. We didn't venture far as the weather was so amazing that all we wanted to do was relax by the pool, but we had great days out to Nerja and a few trips up to Compete to visit the amazing ice cream parlour! We will definitely return to Villa Carlota if we return to the area.

Villa Carlotta
We spent a week at this delightful house with stunning panoramic views of the mountains. The terrace and pool are delightful. The house is stylish, very well presented and very clean. Importantly the kitchen is particularly well equipped as we ate in most evenings and star gazed on the terrace. Liz was a very efficient host and Christine and Malcom who met us and showed us to the property were very helpful. My only reservation about the property is that there is a very steep driveway at the house and it is best to reverse down unless you want to burn out the clutch on your car. Consequently we parked some distance away but we’re happy to do so. I would highly recommend the villa to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway .
