Better than expected
We stayed at Casa Victoria with our extended family of 5 adults and 4 children aged 2-4. It was exactly as beautiful as in the photos and is one of the best equipped villas we have stayed in, with everything from high chairs to air fryers. Maria, our host was excellent in communicating with us and showing us around when we arrived. She had personalised the sheets and towels for the kids and gave us excellent advice for our day trips as we were unsure about travelling and parking during Semana Santa. You need a car as there is no footpath on the road but it is only 20 minutes up the hill from Puerto Banus. We also did day trips to Ronda, Marbella and Malaga. We had the most wonderful stay at Casa Victoria with the setting and gardens making us never want to leave! We will hopefully be returning again in the future.

A wonderful holiday in a beautiful Villa
The Villa is superbly located with great views. It is right in the hills with a view over Istan to one side and the lake to the other. It is large, there were 6 of us staying but it could of easily accommodated more. The outside area is great for eating and the pool was amazing! The owners were easy to contact and gave us clear, timely and helpful instructions on how to get to the property and access it. We had a great time and would definitely recommend

Perfect Paradise
After searching for our perfect place to spend for a special family reunion, we discovered Victoria's Villa. It lived up to all our expectations, and more. The house is on one level, with lots of spaces to relax, and eat. The rooms all spacious, especially the kitchen. And the outdoor bar/kitchen area by the pool perfect for all day dining. Lots of outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the stunning view. The house is very private and yet close enough to walk to the pretty village of Istan. Lots of local walks for those who like to exercise. Victoria and Maria were very helpful and available if needed. Everything you need is thought of. It was the perfect place for us and we were all very sad to leave.

Beautiful, 5-star family rental
We rented this house as a getaway for us and our daughter's family (two kids, 5 and 2). Out of the many rental properties we have visited, this tops the list. Just WOW! Communication with the owners was consistent and amiable. The house is immaculate. Victoria herself gave us our orientation tour upon arrival, providing us with fresh oranges, lemons and avocadoes from her orchard (!!!), as well as a few items to get us through breakfast the next day (coffee pods, coffee cake, milk, cold bottled water). Our grandsons lived in the pool which was kept clean by Antonio. Our favorite spot to eat dinner was at the outside table next to the built-in grill, but there were 4 other tables to choose from! Cannot recommend this house highly enough. As grandson5 says, "I want to come back next year."

A wonderful escape from reality
This is our second stay at Casa Victoria and our second stay was just as relaxing as the first. Maria and Victoria have gone to great lengths to update the property and also to ensure it was C19 safe. We felt relaxed, comfortable and safe. The new bathroom, outside upgrades and super king sized beds were a welcome addition.

Absolutely Amazing
Casa Victoria far exceeded all our expectations for our 2 week stay in August 2019. The Villa was exceptionally clean and there are many small touches that the owner has made that make it feel like home from home. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of plates, mugs, glasses, cutlery and cookware for the 9 of us. The decor in each of the bedrooms was individual and welcoming. There is ample seating & eating areas in and around the villa & grounds with the added benefit of plenty of opportunity for shade. The swimming pool was a huge hit with all ages and is cleaned every day. There are ample sun loungers and beach towels to use as well as play equipment & toys for children (& adults). There is a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron & ironing board in the villa to use and air conditioning throughout. The outside bar provides an additional area to store and prepare food & drink next to the BBQ area. The owner, Victoria, was very helpful and welcoming and shared fruit and eggs with us during our stay as well as offering advice regarding the local area and facilities. There is a 15 minute drive down to Marbella & Puerto Banus where you will find supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars and lovely beaches. The villa is about 1km from the village of Istan which has a small selection of bars/restaurants serving typical spanish food, a bakery, small convenience store & bank. It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk into Istan, although I would recommend using a torch/phone if you are returning to the villa in the dark. Overall, Casa Victoria provides an excellent base for exploring this area of Spain. The villa is of a very high standard in terms of cleanliness and facilities and I would certainly recommend it as a holiday base. Gracias Victoria por toda su ayuda y amabilidad durante nuestras vacaciones en su encantadora villa.

Fabulous villa in Istan
We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful property. Everything was just as described on the website. Spotlessly clean house with 5 good sized bedrooms & very comfortable beds. Great clean pool area and gardens. Weather very hot in July but cool mountain breezes were welcomed. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to go back. Istan itself is a lovely little village, a little quiet as you would expect. On our last night there a number of restaurants were closed (a Tuesday night). But we found a lovely restaurant 25 mins away in Marbella (El Carnicero 2) which was just perfect. Hotel nearest the house doesn't operate a restaurant which was a little disappointing. All in all though a great holiday villa & area.

Stunning villa in a superb location
We had an absolutely brilliant time at casa Victoria. The photos don't really show how good it is. Victoria and her daughter Maria were really helpful whenever we needed anything. Short walk into Istan an a quiet road (watch out for cyclists) and lively bar and good restaurant. 20 mins down to the coast on a great road if you don't mind hairpins. Overall an excellent villa in a great location.

Peace in a lovely, comfortable home
Everyone in the family enjoyed our stay in Casa Victoria. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The generous outside space allowed us many places to go for a quiet moment and to enjoy the lovely views. Victoria herself couldn't have been more kind and helpful which we really appreciated. No one could be unhappy in this setting and with Victoria always ready to help.

10 stars out of 5!
Eleven of us stayed at Casa Victoria at the end of July. The villa exceeded all our expectations, which were quite high to begin with. Everything was in pristine condition and we had all the facilities we needed at hand for a comfortable stay. The majestic view, lovely house and lush gardens (complete with grapes and fruit we could pick off trees) are even more beautiful than the photos imply. There was plenty of space for all of us and several cozy corners to sit together and enjoy the warm evenings. The host family were wonderful and took each of our questions and requests very seriously. They were quick, efficient and patient in helping us with whatever we needed. The pool was perfect for all of us: the children, who barely got out of the water, could splash around, and those of us who appreciate a bit of swimming and diving could occupy the deep end. There was an abundance of pool toys and inflatables to entertain ourselves with. The water felt cool when first getting in, but offered relief from the hot sun and became comfortable once you had spent a minute in it. The 15-minute drive along the curvy hillside road to the villa left everyone with lasting impressions. Coming from flat country, it took some getting used to at first and (depending on the driver's ability to contain his zeal) made one or two of us a bit seasick from time to time. The views it offered were stunning, however, and most of us found it positively thrilling. The remote location also means you get to relax in a secluded and peaceful environment, with only a few neighbors - who include ducks, chickens and peacocks. If we felt rested enough, however, we could venture out to Malaga, Gibraltar, Tarifa and other points of interest which were all a short drive away. Istan's restaurants and quaint narrow streets were also just a few bends from the casa. We couldn't have made a better choice for our stay!

Beautiful house in stunning surroundings
We stayed 2 weeks in September. Stunning place, plenty of room, great facilities and Victoria and Maria were extremely receptive and attentive whenever we needed for anything. Victoria even took my 3 year old to see her ducks! The pool is pretty cold (I like it that way but it was too cold for others in our party) and the road up from the coast (shops and beaches) is pretty long and windy - but I guess that's what you have to put up with to get such amazing views. Istan is a great little quintessential Spanish village too. If we can - we will be back!!

Holiday of a lifetime
We were lucky enough to stay at Casa Victoria for 4 weeks this summer. We were a large party of 4 adults and 5 children of varying ages from 6 months to 5 years. Firstly the host family are awesome, nothing is too much trouble and they really care that your holiday is the best it can be, often Victoria would bring us figs, avocados and eggs in the morning, fresh from the garden. On that note the gardens are tremendous, they are so beautiful and there is an abundance of avocados and oranges as well as grapes, pears and pomegranates, to name a few. The fresh herbs and flowers have even inspired me to be more green fingered on my return home to England. The house is a home, there was nothing we needed that wasn't provided and there is air con in every room. The wifi was reliable and the beds comfy and clean. One of the best bits is the pool house, it's awesome!! It has a fridge and freeer and we had great times in the evening making cocktails and cooking on the BBQ. There are plenty of places to eat around the villa as well, a choice of 5!! The view is pretty special and one evening when eating dinner we could see the coast of Morocco. The pool area is also very secure and having the baby pool made it really easy to enjoy the outside area with children. The grounds are very secure and safe with 2 lots of security gates and fencing were appropriate. There is also a small kids play area which is undercover so nice and cool. The local area is beautiful and Istan is very traditional and welcoming, just don't attempt to drive through it. We recommend a visit to the local pool, it's really peaceful and there is a great restaurant next to it called H2O. Other local attractions which we enjoyed were Aqualand (pick up a discount leaflet from the airport), Red Tide fishing trips from Puerto Banus and a day out to Gibraltar (about an hour away). One of our best experiences was when Victoria and her cousin came to the villa to cook traditional Andalusian food for us. It was really something special and delicious. This villa is a gem! I could of stayed forever!!

A genuinely beautiful villa, well maintained, tasteful in every way and equipped with everything you need for a superb vacation. Stunning views and close to a lovely town, Istan. Victoria and her family are extremely helpful and accommodating, as were the people at Hotel Los Jarales where you can take a short walk for a well deserved beer. Many thanks to Victoria and her daughter for your help in making this a fantastic holiday for our family.

excellent villa and very helpful owner
We couldn't fault the villa it was perfect for our family and parents, with the age range from 5 years old to 80s we all loved staying at the villa. As it was October the pool was a little cold but fine for me and the kids. Victoria was very helpful, always on hand when needed. It might help if there was a folder explaining some of the do's and donts at the villa, where lights are, etc. Also a list of supermarkets and facilities in Istan, but we found it all out anyway. I would recommend to anyone with large groups.

Wunderbarer Urlaub
Wir waren für 3 Wochen im Casa Victoria. 'Nur' 2 Erwachsene, für die das Haus fast überdimensioniert ist. Aber wir wollten Platz und unserer Ruhe und das hatten wir zur Genüge. Ein Auto wird dringend benötigt, da es von der Küste aus (Puerto Banus) ca. 12km Serpentinen den Berg rauf sind. Die Zufahrt nach dem Haupttor an der Strasse ist für Wohnmobile oder Kleinbusse nicht zu machen. Victoria und Tochter Maria waren hervorragende Gastgeber. Leider kann nur Maria Englisch, mit Victoria geht es nur in Spanisch. Bei Problemen ist Maria stets zu erreichen und Victoria kommt ca. jeden 2. Tag früh morgens (vor 8:00) vorbei um den üppigen Garten zu pflegen. Die Aussicht auf den Stausee und bis hinunter zum Meer ist hervorragend und es geht immer eine leichte Brise, die die Temparturen erträglich macht. Die Villa war sehr sauber und Maria hatte uns ein Willkommenspaket mit Obst und Kuchen bereitgestellt. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist perfekt und wir haben viel selber gekocht. Zum Essen haben wir den Wintergarten mit Ausblick bevorzugt. In allen Zimmern ist eine individuell einstellbare Klimaanlage vorhanden. Alles im Haus ist sehr liebevoll dekoriert. Von den Wänden bis zu den Solarlampen war es sehr gemütlich. Auch um den Pool herum ist es abends und nachts immer dezent beleuchtet. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen, aber unsere Zukunftspläne gehen in eine andere Richtung.
