Romantic, Private, Peaceful Villa in Gaucin With Breathtaking Views To Morocco

Villa Djebel Musa is a romantic, beautifully maintained, architect-designed villa with an infinity pool. The garden is a mixture of mature exotic palms amongst the rocks as well as wild olives and carobs filled with many songbirds on a hillside at the southern edge of the pretty 'white village' of Gaucin.

"The best view we have seen in Spain" said one travel company. "A truly stunning property with 'wow factor'!" (If your preferred dates are already booked, we have a new property next door with the same views and an infinity pool - "Villa Estrella Gaucin").

Gaucin is 600 metres (2000 ft) above sea level and the secluded villa and pool afford spectacular open views down the Genal River valley to the Mediterranean and North Africa beyond. It is maintained and equipped to a high standard.

Double-height open-plan living room with minstrels' gallery leads to a large covered veranda. Archway to the large dining room which leads to its own covered dining terrace.

4 of the 5 bedrooms and the main living rooms have French windows onto their own terrace or balcony and there are other terraces around the garden.

Terracotta floors, bright rugs, Moroccan pots, comfortable seating inside and out, Satellite TV, WiFi, flowers, views, birds, sunshine!

If your dates are not available, we also manage the neighbouring villa which is new this year and has the same views and an infinity pool. On the VRBO website it is titled "Luxurious, Private, Villa in Gaucin".

A few extra notes:
- We have a gardener who visits very early morning in hot weather to water pots, a daily pool-cleaner, a multilingual House Manager and two lovely cleaners.
- The villa has secure off-street parking for 2 cars. Further cars can be easily parked nearby.
- The base price indicated per night or week is based on 6 people staying. For each additional person up to a max of 10 there is an extra charge to cover laundry and cleaning. The "Host Fee" in your quote is the final cleaning charge.
- Flat screen TV with Internet television & collection of Blu Ray films.
- The village centre is only a few minutes walk for tapas, restaurants, shops.
- Children are welcome but parents must consider that there are stairs down to the swimming pool and steep drops below the pool so young children will need constant supervision.

Stay at Gaucin
We had a magical stay at Mark and Star’s Villa in Gaucin. The pictures do not do the location and views justice, a truly stunning place. There was ample room for the 8 guests with various spaces to relax, eat and sunbathe, and we particularly enjoyed eating as the sun set on the terrace. Gaucin is a great place with lots of restaurants and groceries available and we were lucky enough to be at the first food festival held over the weekend. As with other reviews the are a few things in the villa that could be updated, but this did not deter from the stay. I really didn’t want leave and to me that says everything about the villa and hosts

Amazing Villa in the white villages of Andalucia
What a lovely villa and surrounding area! Gaucin was the perfect village for our group - within walking distant and a number of fabulous restaurants to choose from with breathtaking views. But I also would have been content to never leave the grounds. Views are stunning and the pool provided a deep, refreshing respite from the summer heat. Mark was a fantastic host and met our every need. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful villa and village
A1 location, incredibly relaxed and great hosts, Mark & Star, who happened to be around and asked us for lovely drinks at their other property. So relaxed in fact, that I read 3+ books in a week. Plenty of great eateries, although we did BBQ twice too.

Amazing location and super house.
Wonderful location, great property, super pool and extremely helpful host. Whilst perfectly serviceable, a couple of the bedrooms and the kitchen would benefit from a refresh.

Incredible views and beautiful villa
The property is very well kept. The views are simply stunning. And is well located on the edge of the village within easy walking distance of amenities, and enough parking space, which isn’t often the case in Gaucin

Le regard par-dessus les montagnes
Cette propriété vous donne l’impression de rêver les yeux ouverts! Nichée dans un petit village dans les montagnes, la localisation de la maison permet de se balader à pied pour visiter tout prêt et aussi de sortir un peu plus loin en voiture pour explorer les alentours. La vue est incroyable et difficile à décrire tellement c’est beau et apaisant. Le jardin est superbe et même si nous étions trop tôt en saison pour profiter de la piscine, nous avons quand même eu l’occasion de nous prélasser sur les patios autour. Nous recommandons sans hésiter!! Excellente communication avec le propriétaire.

A perfect week with astonishing views
The villa and surrounding area is dreamy. We were two families with 5 children between us and our stay was perfect Mark and Esther were on hand to answer any questions and help with anything that we needed. We cannot wait to spend a week in the mountains again.
