Stylish villa, pool, sea view, wifi, aircon, quiet spot, private, Costa del Sol

'Our family loved this fantastic villa in a magical spot. Mum and Dad came out first for week on their own and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Then we arrived with our two children for the second week and the kids were in the pool all day and loving it.

We couldn´t fault the villa, it had absolutely everything we needed and was stylish and comfortable, a home from home. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evenings, having just finished dinner, watching the sunset and looking out at the amazing views down to the sea. We also loved the pool deck which was large and like the villa immaculately clean. We remember the lovely Andalucian details built into the villa, like decorated tiles and ceilings with high beams.

It was also a good base for travelling around. We went to Nerja and Torrox beaches locally and we did day trips to Seville, Ronda and the Alhambra Palace in Granada which were all great. We loved it!'

The coastal town of Torre Del Mar is 15 minutes drive from the villa and has everything you could want on holiday. Banks, restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes, supermarkets, bars, chemists, clothes and shoe shops. Visit the colorful weekly market packed with local fruit, veg, bargain leather goods, clothes, handmade local gifts and much more then stroll along the promenade with tropical gardens alongside the beach.

The nearby historical town of Velez-Malaga also has all amenities but is more traditional, with winding streets, cathedrals, tapas bars, theaters, churches and many examples of typical Andalusian buildings. In between the two towns is a large indoor shopping center with 10 screen cinema, bowling, hypermarket and top stores such as Zara, Mango, Nike etc. Local activities include beach, horse riding, water park, golf, sailing, quad biking, country walks, snorkeling, diving, hang gliding, crocodile park, safari park, zoo, historical buildings, museums, aquarium.

Other Activities: Private yoga lessons

Golf: 18 hole Baviera Golf in Caleta de Velez, 15 minutes drive from the villa. Stunning course with excellent club facilities. Buggy hire optional.

Many other golf courses within 1 hour of the villa.

Ski: Granada ski resort in the Sierra Nevada, two hours drive away, easily reachable for a day´s skiing.

Enjoy visiting the real Spain! Arenas is a short drive away and is a traditional Pueblo Blanco or white village. You´ll fall in love with the tiny winding streets, the quaint village houses and of course the locals who always have a friendly greeting. Tourism hasn’t hit this village yet, and this is reflected in the prices, which are incredibly reasonable. A superb three course lunch can be had in Bar Juani for under 10 Euros, including a drink!
Arenas is famous in Europe for having the largest population of chameleons, whose color changing skills are magical to watch. The area is also famed for romantic historic tales of the clashes between the Christians and the Moors. The ruins of one Moorish castle can be seen from the villa.

The villa is perfectly placed to explore Andalusia.

Seville, Ronda, Marbella and Antequera are all easily reached for day trips. Malaga city is less than an hour away and has much to offer including the port, tropical gardens and historical quarter with the Pablo Picasso museum just one example of places of interest to visit. Granada is home to the famous Alhambra palace, full of Moorish influence and only two hours from the villa.
The well known picturesque town of Nerja is just 20 minutes away, well worth a visit with its internationally renowned caves where live concerts are held, stunning coves and beaches, and all kinds of shops, bars and restaurants. Take a horse drawn carriage tour to see the highlights of the old town.

Car Hire: Group B or above is recommended.

A beautiful place of solitude in the madding crowd
We loved this desperately quiet villa with stunning views not only all the way out to sea but in the other direction- amazing views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. We always had the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets. We did go out to the caves at Nerja , kayaking at Playa de Maro to the water caves and Frigiliana (don’t miss this intensely beautiful small town with the tiniest of streets and little shops- really worth it) and various other places BUT mostly we were happy staying by the pool with the wonderful day bed and hammocks, play area, boules court etc. it was so peaceful laying there high up the hills. James was on hand to sort at out a5 minute job and George the friendly dog came up most evenings to see us. Good bbq, aircon (although we didn’t bother with it as a window open at night was actually nicer)With regard to the barking dogs (a house across the hill)that have been mentioned in a couple of reviews- in all honesty they don’t bark at all at night - they bark at feeding time twice a day about 930 ish and about 630 in the evening but they genuinely didn’t disturb us. The other oft mentioned thing was the drive up to the villa. We hired a Peugeot 2008 and treated ourselves to an automatic to make it easier on steeper roads. It was pretty easy actually- I’ve had far worse. If you want a view you gotta head upwards. There is a couple of short sections of 1in 4 but beyond that it is lovely drive up into the hills. A gorgeous villa to just chill and enjoy the view

Will Definitely Return!
I had been looking forward to a crazy steep hill after reading all the reviews, but in reality, it is not actually all that steep if you are coming from a hilly region such as San Francisco. I don't wish to mislead anyone - it is steep - but not so much so that it should put anyone off. A lovely bottle of wine greeted us and our host could not be more accommodating. The views were spectacular! It's also extremely quiet - there is a kennel nearby and now and then you hear the distant sounds of dogs barking but otherwise its very peaceful. Just the restoration we city dwellers needed! Will definitely return!

A lovely villa in a stunning location
The villa is situated about 10 minutes drive from Velez-Malaga, in the foothills of the Sierra de Tejeda. The drive to the villa is definitely an experience! The views from the roof terrace and pool area are simply stunning. The villa itself is very private, clean and well equipped. The wildlife is varied and plentiful. James and Rafe are excellent hosts. The local beaches are clean and safe, with lots of places to eat. Torre del Mar is great for a walk along the sea front.

This villa has the most spectacular views I have ever had on a holiday. Absolutely incredible. James and Rafa were great hosts sorting out any minor issues in a timely manner. George the dog was also a welcome visitor. Even my dog disliking daughter fell in love with him. Villa is accurately described and is well worth the drive up the hill. Thanks for a great holiday.

Super vacances
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la villa Camaléon, James a été très accueillant. Super piscine et tout confort. Un paysage a coupé le souffle. Pour accéder à la villa, il y a une petite portion de chemin en terre assez chaotique, mais ça le fait ! Le seul bémol pour nous, étant en montagne, c'était l'écho des aboiements des chiens dans une villa plus loin. Sur une note sur 10, je mets 9.5 😀.

Super relaxing and secluded villa in a beautiful setting
The villa is in an absolutely beautiful setting with views of mountains, white villages and the sea. The pool area is perfect with relaxing shady areas as well as being able to catch the sun until about 6.30pm all with a backdrop of colourful flowers. There are also two outside bench tables to eat at and we had our own rooftop bar by taking chairs and drinks up to watch the sunsetting, The villa is completely private and quiet which was perfect for what we wanted. The owner lives in the property slightly downhill from the villa and, whilst giving us complete privacy, he or especially his son were always very quick to respond to any queries we had. As other reviews have stated, the uphill drive to the villa is initially tricky, We had booked a Category B car as suggested but our little Citroen C3 hire car could not make it up the hill with both passengers, cases and shopping. We offloaded cases and myself into James' car on that occasion and he gave us the invaluable advice to turn off the aircon and fan just for the steepest parts. After that we were able to get up to the villa independently each time so we would definitely suggest a more powerful car and to use the aircon off tip! We would very much recommend this villa if you want a relaxing holiday in a beautiful, secluded setting. Thank you.

Choose carefully
Anyone interested in going to this property should be sure that they understand the location. I admit to not doing my “homework” before booking Villa Camaleon and did not realize that there are a few drawbacks. The road to the property is very steep and narrow; one would probably get used to it but I felt quite daunted by it. It is not possible to walk into town or anywhere else for that matter. The view is marvelous and if one simply wants a few days of complete rest and relaxation this would be a good choice. The housekeeping leaves a bit to be desired although James is very responsive to needs. We found the place cold and were unable to adequately warm it up with the heaters, for which we had to pay by inserting coins into a meter! We did enjoy the company of the two dogs who are as charming as James and his son, Rafa, but eventually decided that the location was a mistake for our needs.

Cosy villa in a pretty location. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Owner was helpful and easy to get hold of. Directions to the property were good, including finding my way after the sun had gone down. Only downside is sometimes when I'm scan reading amenities on HomeAway it's easy to miss that Wifi and AC have an extra charge. But it is covered in the details so fair enough. Would stay again.

Our Perfect holiday
We have had such a fantastic holiday! We have family just down the road in Benajarafe so a great location to be close to them. This villa has a unique character a little gem hidden in the mountains. We managed to pack a lot into our week´s holiday including a day trip to Gibraltar which was amazing! The nature reserve and seeing the monkeys is a must! We also went to Marbella and Mijas which the children found fascinating. There is so much I could write about our holiday but to sum it up little James gave it a BIG thumbs up. Thank-you Nina and James for the beautiful flowers I have taken some pictures so I will always remember how beautiful the colours were. We will definitely be recommending Villa Camaleon to our family and friends and we hope to come back ourselves! Thank-you again. Lisa, Jamie, Josh, Scarlett and James

Lovely Villa, lovely view, lovely owners
I gave Villa Camaleón a 5 star review as it warranted only that! The Villa was fabulous, spotless, had everything we needed. The owners were exceptional. We wanted for nothing. You could do as much as you want or as little. It depended on your mood of the day. Day trips to Seville, Rhonda, Malaga are possible. We even did supper trips to Torre del Mar, Cadiz and Malaga. Sitting on the veranda you could watch freighters in the Mediterranean. We had a wonderful time and even had visits from George and Milli ( the family pets). A wonderful place which I would recommend to anyone planning to visit the area.

Most Peaceful and Relaxing Holiday Stay Ever
We wanted a totally relaxing holiday where we did not have to go far and just enjoy the place. This was it; it had everything we needed and more. We made full use of the facilities every day which included, swimming in the large pool, sun bathing on the sun loungers, siestas in the hammocks, regular BBQ's and games of Table Tennis all overlooking the beautiful views of the mountains and hills down to the sea. There is a large Hypermarket only 15 minutes drive away down in Velez Malaga which had everything that you could possibly need. Nina and James were lovely and it was good to know there were close by for peace of mind if needed and they had 2 friendly well behaved dogs called George and Minnie who came over to see us from time to time to say hello. We will definitely be back. Wendy & Edd.

Amazing location & breathtaking views. Perfect for a relaxing holiday!
We had an amazing two week stay at Villa Camaleon! It’s location is amazing, and although the short drive up the mountain was hair-raising to begin with (we didn’t arrive until midnight), we soon got used it. The views are unlike anything else and the fact it’s remote means we really had chance to switch off and relax during our stay. The nearest town is only a short 10-15 minute drive away, which is great when you need to get food shopping, visit the beach or go for a nice meal (thoroughly recommend Safari Loung in Torre Del Mar). A little further is Nerja, which is only 40 minutes away, which has beaches, shops, markets and tourist attractions like the Caves. The villa itself is clean, well equipped and clearly well maintained with the added bonus of excellent WiFi! There was 6 adults in our party and plenty of room for all of us. We spent most of our time in the pool area, which looks out onto incredible views of the mountains and coastline. The hammocks and day bed were also a big hit with us and perfect for getting a bit of shade after a day in the sun. It was a novelty to be able to sit on the terrace/porch area in the evening and enjoy a BBQ and a few drinks. More often than not we were joined by James and Nina’s two dogs, Mini and George, who were great company for us (they don’t come inside the villa). James and Nina were the perfect hosts and really made our stay! They live just underneath the villa, but you would never know they were there. They were really helpful, friendly and attentive throughout our stay, giving us tips of things to do and places to visit - for example, walking to the top of the mountain where the villa is situated, where the views are out of this world! If you’re looking for a chilled out, relaxing break in the sun then I would thoroughly recommend staying at villa Camaleon. We’ll definitely be returning very soon!

Perfect for a relaxing holiday
We selected this villa for its remote location, beautiful website photos and great reviews. On arrival, we were NOT disappointed. The villa is clean and well maintained, adequately equipped and set in beautifully maintained grounds. The pool area is gorgeous, and any stress brought from home and work, soon evaporated through relaxing by the pool and taking in the mountain and sea views which are ever changing throughout the day. The property is very private with James and Nina on hand if required but always respecting our privacy. The house and pool area we felt were safe for our adventurous 5-year-old girl whose swimming improved no end during our stay and she loved the daily visits from George and Minnie the dogs, who were very friendly and never a nuisance. The location is remote, but easily accessible with a half decent hire car and Nina’s concise instructions, and despite its location, a quick trip into Velez-Malaga for the daily loaf is a breeze. When we could tear ourselves away from the Villa, Granada was within easy reach for a bit of culture, but other than a bit off shopping to stock up on supplies, we were very happy to pass a very enjoyable week at Villa Camaleon. Highly recommended!

Glorious location with incredible views.
We had a fantastic stay at the villa. The location is incredibly peaceful and the views are stunning. Our daughter (and we) loved the two dogs and feeding the pigs down the hill. When it got a bit chilly at night the wood-burning stove was just the job. The picturesque location of the pool was breathtaking, as was the temperature of the water (we were here in April)!

Fabulously relaxing villa with stunning views
This villa is an absolute gem in the most stunning location. The first drive up the mountain (following Nina) in the dark was a hair-raising experience.But when we awoke the next day to the breath-taking view it made it well worth it. During the rest of the week the drive up & down was a source of amusement in the car more than a problem. The Villa was spotlessly clean & had everything you could possibly need for the week (and a few others things that I found on the last day when I was clearing everything up). In fact it was much better equipped than most villas I have stayed in. Quick tip :- check ALL the wardrobe cupboards as there are some helpful items in them. The pool area was lovely with the most spectacular view. The pool isn't heated & it took a bit of getting used to when you first get in but it really isn't an issue, we spent many hours playing about in the pool. An added bonus for the week were Georgie & Minnie (Nina & James' 2 dogs). They were clearly quite good at working our meal times & popped up for breakfast lunch & dinner most days. They even had a little sing & dance with us one night. Both very well behaved though & do not enter the house. They also have a couple of pigs which welcome any left over food you may have. Exploring the local area from here was easy. once you tackle the 10 min drive down the mountain you are very close to the main road. From here you can reach several of the local areas within 30 mins. We visited Nerja, Torrox, Torre Del Mar and I also did a few magical mystery tours which is a favourite pastime of mine and my sons. (drive and see where you end up). If we had been here for longer I would have travelled further but the main point of this holiday was too relax & we certainly achieved that. There were 4 members of my group myself, my 12 year old son & some friends (a couple). The layout of the villa gave us all some privacy if we needed it & you could sit on the terrace (dining area) with a glass of wine & not be overlooking the pool area. So on some days we were able to do our own thing here very easily & never felt on top of each other. Nina was very helpful although not intrusive & although their villa is just below the pool area you could easily forget they were there. Book this villa and you will marvel at every sunrise and sunset and have the most relaxing holiday you can imagine and I would recommend it without question. Thanks Nina for all your help and I hope to return on day
