Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Playa de los Álamos

We booked Penelope’s beautiful villa a year ago, in celebration of Grandad’s big birthday. It was to be the first time we had all had a holiday together, with ages ranging from 70 to 2 years old, and young ones flying in from London and Sweden. The villa and pool were perfect in every way - generously and thoughtfully equipped, from the kitchen utensils to the toys, and the fantastic range of pool and beach games, etc. The furnishings are of a high standard and the villa spotlessly clean, with endless hot water, comfortable beds and other modern conveniences. We were two minutes’ walk from the beach and the main front, with a choice of restaurants and bars if desired. Penelope was close by and on hand to deal with any questions - she was so kind and welcoming throughout our stay. In short, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and cannot thank Penelope enough for her hospitality.

It was literally living in a place close to heaven. It’s not only furnished with so much love, but also the attention to detail made it much more special. We were in awe upon our arrival, and found it hard to leave. We would like to recommend it to everyone, but it is so special, that we just might keep this as our best kept secret! From the moment we booked, our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. They offered excellent recommendations, answered our questions with warmth and patience, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Everything is within walking distance. The way the villa is situated allows you to wake up to the gentle embrace of sunlight streaming through the windows, and ending the day with golden sunsets was pure magic. It is absolutely breathtaking. The thoughtfulness throughout made it easy to settle in and feel completely at ease, as if we were staying with dear friends. A stay so extraordinary, you’ll cherish every moment and never want to leave.

We had a wonderful, short stay at David's beautiful house. Quiet and private we had fantastic views from every room. The gardens and pool were perfect for us. The house was spacious and clean with quality beds and linen and lovely bathrooms. David was so friendly and accommodating, such a generous host. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to re visit.

Thanks Nicole for the amazing service and clear and fast communication. We enjoyed our stay.

This villa is absolutely fantastic, Geert was very attentive in the build up to our stay and once we were there Sonia could not do enough for us from local recommendations for bars and restaurants to answering any questions we had! We will definitely be looking to stay again and have already recommended the place to all of our friends and family!

A superb villa, very spacious and clean. Just a note that it is at the top of a small mountain but wow when you get to the top the views are truly spectacular. A great spot for exploring the area and Ubers are easy to get for trips into Malaga, would highly recommend.

I would just like to say this place is amazing and juan is an amazing guy. He let us stay because we had a late flight and never asked us for a pen anymore. This has got to be by far the best place. I've stayed there on all my trips around Europe staying at Airbnb's. juan was so helpful given us a device where to eat where to go for Days out his place was so clean fresh and just felt like Home I will be definitely coming back to stay here and I would strongly recommend anyone who's thinking in the coming to this part of Spain to stay at this place my wife and kids after 10 days, don't want to go home all I would like to say to juan yes thank you so much and I loved staying at your place. See you soon.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

My host Ana went above and beyond her duties as a host when our transport back to the airport fell short she stepped in and got us their what more could one ask The villa was amazing and Ana was always willing to give advice if needed. All I can say is she was first class 👍

Apartment was indeed amazing! Just like on the photos: all is neat and clean, and the view is splendid with beach only 5 minutes away. There's everything inside that we needed for a perfect vacation stay. Eduardo is a very friendly and helpful host, highly recommend this location!

This is a great apartment in close proximity to many cafes, restaurants, bars, and main attractions. It is clean, spacious, bright and airy. Air conditioning keeps the entire apartment very cool. Lots of towels and beach towels there. Beds are very comfy. No noise at night. Juan left recommendations for many places which was very useful. He responds to questions very quickly and is very helpful and nice. The parking spot was very convenient as we rented a car for a night to go down to coast. We also rented electric bikes overnight which is a great way to get around and could lock them up safely in the garage. For our older teens going out at night it was perfect as it is only approximately a 10 minute walk to get home and it feels very safe. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent location, just a short 3-5 minute walk from main train station direct from airport. Also just next to lift down to the beach. Lovely hosts, extremely accommodating would recommend 😄

The Duck house was an amazing stay. Everything was perfect, our host Andrew was very friendly and a lovely person to talk to. He was always available to help us out if we had any questions and also always asked us if we needed anything. The pool is completely private and secluded and is not visible to anyone around. We felt very comfortable in the Duck house and felt right at home. The history behind the house was also very interesting to hear about from Andrew. He also gave us really good recommendations for gorgeous places around the area. Only thing to keep in mind is you have to be cautious while driving up to the apartment through the dirt road, but this was not really an issue for us. We will definitely be visiting again! We can only recommend this place :)

Fantastic cosy home. Very well equipped with everything we needed. The location is brilliant, very close to the beach and has lots of great bars and restaurants and a big local food market. It is easy to get to the Old Town using buses or metro or walking. Pedro is a great host. He was very quick to respond and was always helpful. This is the place to stay if you want to experience local Malaga life.

Great apartment with a wonderful sea view, centrally located - will stay again.

This place is just gorgeous.I love to be there.Simona is a great host,you can reach her always.She is always nice,always funny and just amazing. It is a quiet place,the view can‘t be better. Will be back!!! Thank You!!!

Very nice apartment with roof top terrace and great views of the sea. The host was very attentive and we even had an early check in which was a real bonus. Apartment was a bit out of the way but bus stop walkable and so easy to use to get to the marina. You need the 110 M which is 1 euro 60. Apartment was spotless, coffee, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel all provided. Plenty of fresh towels and beach towels. The only negative is the fact that there’s building work going on so the roof terrace wasn’t that private unless you put the umbrella up. Overall though we had a great stay and it was very peaceful. Supermarket is at the bottom of the road so very convenient for shopping.

This was our 2nd visit as we loved the villa the first time. Andrew & Karolina are so helpful and always available. Everything was spotless and we felt right at home. Helena who does check in is not only flexible, we asked her to do a little shop for us as we were arriving late. You couldn’t ask for a nicer villa and more fantastic hosts. We will definitely go again.

Nice place with great pool. Perfect for two families!

Tatiana was a great host, always responsive and gave lots of information up front. The villa itself was beautiful- lots of space for a family of 9 and kept in pristine condition. Short walk to the beach and local amenities but set it a lovely private and quiet location

We had a lovely time at the villa! Augusto was very friendly and accommodating.

Aitana was very helpful. She helped us with the booking. I arrived late. She received me with a smile, wine, water, coffee and more. She is young but has compassion of a senior and she gave me a warm welcome. The house has more than I expected. Everything in the house is well thought of. Very tasteful decorated. It feels homey and warm. Nice lighting and furniture. A fireplace. Clean spaces. Soap, shampoo and shower gel. Luxury towels. I enjoy the view from the balcony over the sea. The sunsets are amazing. At night you see a banner of twinkling lights in the distance. The area is quiet. It is in a gated community. We can park the car at street level (upper floor) but we can als park a floor below. Which is unique! Both floors can be run independently from each other. It’s about 10 min by car to the beach. And 5 min buy car to shopping mall. We definitely recommend! Grateful for being here. Grateful for amazing hosts…. Aitana and Gonzalo… thank you!

This is our second time staying in one of Carlos’ villas and it will definitely not be our last. The villa is incredible. We were a group of 12 and there was plenty of room for everyone. All bathrooms were ensuite and the rooms were all great sizes. The house is incredibly well stocked anything at all that you could think of needing it’s there. Carlos is so easy to communicate with and provides great local recommendations. Would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone.

Alfredo and Lydia welcomed us very nicely. Communication was very easy. We will be happy to spend our holidays in this accommodation again.

Beautiful villa with beautiful environments and views of the Mediterranean Sea and the hinterland, very pleasant flower gardens. The villa is very comfortable, including bedding, and very well equipped, especially if you are traveling with children or a baby. José was very welcoming, and very available if needed. Flexible checkout and return for us, which was a real plus compared to our flights. Very beautiful area to discover. Recommended!
