Cubo's Villa Ruiz

Alhaurín el Grande - Villa

A big villa, with a beautiful garden, overlooking the mountains. A stunning view from the good sized pool, which is right of the overroofed terrace of the house. Good privacy and security, the whole of the terrain is fenced in. Very nice owner, who came almost immeadatly, when there was a very slight problem with the airconditioning. Nice TV and good WIFI, although the range of the WIFE might be a bit better. (good on the terrace, further down in the garden at the end of the pool sometimes disconnecting). The owner doesn't speak English, but with all the translating apps nowadays, and a son who does speak it, this should not be a problem, it wasn't for us. Everything is provided for, towels, sheets, good kitchen aquipment. When driving the road to the villa is small, but no problem, we managed with a big stationcar. Definetly a place to come back to, I would certainly recommand. Also the personal of Cubo's, the rental office in Alhaurin, was very friendly, helpfull and they spoke several languages.

" El hijo del dueño fue muy amable. La casa tenía una vista y probablemente no era tan vieja. Todo estaba muy bien cuidado. El jardín estaba muy bien distribuido. Desafortunadamente, las naranjas y los limones aún no estaban maduros. Puedes probar un higo. Estábamos en otoño y como estaba en las montañas, las nubes colgaban un poco (lo que hacía que fuera un poco más fresco), pero también tuvimos algunos días de buen tiempo. Había un montón de toallas y toallas de baño disponibles. Fue una super casa !!"

What a lovely Villa. The extensive garden area,with several choices of sitting/dining and the pool, were stunning. The view too was superb as was the location. Very secure and peaceful and not overlooked. We were met by the owner and his son and they were very friendly and helpful.There are plenty of places to eat and drink in Alhaurín el Grande which is a few minutes drive away. Also suggest a visit to beautiful Ronda which is about an hours scenic drive away. All in all, highly recommend. We loved it!!

Where to begin? The photos on home away gave the impression of a secluded villa on an urbanisation. On driving through the gates the photos didn’t do Ruiz justice at all, we’ll get back to the outside. With it previously being a finca it’s quite dark inside and you have everything you need for your vacation . There’s loads of storage in the bedrooms. The bathroom is large and has a fantastic rain shower but you don’t go on holiday to sit inside. Back to outside, when you stand on the terrace the views are absolutely stunning, the vista of the mountains anytime of day is eye catching and the sunsets are every bit as good as anywhere. The gardens have been landscaped in a way that you have the impression that the garden and mountains are all yours . The gardens are beautifully tended, there are lemon and orange trees to pick from. There are 4 separate dining areas depending on the views you want. The pool is one of the biggest we’ve used , with it’s built in jacuzzi and is spotlessly clean. You can sunbathe all day, in fact until the sun sets. There was nothing better for us than sitting on the terrace with a drink just watching the sunset and watching the parrots and eagles flying. Juan the owner is a really nice guy, we met at a nearby hotel and accompanied us the villa, we were only there for a week but he came every 3rd day to clean the pool and water and tend the gardens so it’s kept immaculate. If you’re experienced in renting villasinexperienced then look no further villa Ruiz. You’ll have total seclusion then you’re only 5 minutes drive from Alhaurin for supermarkets and lovely eateries. In conclusion this is the best villa we’ve stayed in for almost the total package. It’s certainly hard to beat Maureen and Richie.

Una villa preciosa. Mucho gusto en los detalles de la villa (piscina, jardín, porche, etc....) Vistas increíbles. Y el trato con el propietario excelente.

We have stayed several times in Alhaurin el Grande area and Villa Ruiz is clearly the best villa we have stayed in. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. The villa itself is spacious and beautiful and it's really clean. There is everything you need to have for a perfect holiday. Pool area is amazing, it's like in a hotel! Also the view from the pool and from the dining area is breathtaking. You can just sit there and admire the scenery. We enjoyed also the hiking trails just next to the villa in the Sierra de Mijas. Perfect place to have your morning walk. The villa is also very near to the city, it takes less than 30 mins to walk there or 5 mins by car.
There is nothing else we could ask for a holiday. We will definitely return. Muchas gracias to our wonderful property owner Juan, You made our stay just perfect!

Thank you Juan.
It was three very nice weeks at Villa Ruiz.
The villa, the location, the cleanliness, the feel-good factor, the landlord, everything is great! I recommend a car, the supermarket in the next village is a stone's throw away, but also Malaga for shopping, or Torremolino for swimming by the sea can be reached in 30 minutes.
But you can also enjoy nature without a car and the hiking trails that start directly above Villa Ruiz.
One thing is clear, we will be back.
Note on the Covid 19 situation in May 2021. If you adhere to the applicable hygiene measures (mask required), there are currently practically no restrictions, everything is open. PCR test for entry into Spain (we drove by car) was mandatory but not checked.

Lovely villa with a beautiful view and a beautiful garden. Stayed for two weeks, the location is very central so we have visited many places in Andalucia. Had a great holiday.

"La casa, el jardín y la piscina, todo estaba muy bien. La casa estaba muy limpia. Juan nuestro propietario fue muy servicial y amable.

This is a lovely villa with a great pool and garden - one of the best we have stayed in. There are lots of places to sit in sunshade. It was very clean and well equipped - everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. Cubos were a pleasure to deal with, we went to the office in Alhaurin and followed them to the villa, electric gates and not overlooked at all, great views of the mountains from the terrace. Juan was very helpful and we were impressed with his phone app which made communication with him very easy!

Superbe villa, spacieuse et avec une vue magnifique. Nous avons apprécié la dimension de la piscine et les aménagements extérieurs. Nous y étions au calme, à l'abri des regards. C était très reposant. Nous avons également apprécié l entretien régulier de la piscine et le changement du linge de lit et des serviettes une fois par semaine. Service impeccable!
J en profite pour remercier le propriétaire pour sa disponibilité et ses très bons conseils de restaurants. Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour.
Cette villa a répondu pleinement à nos attentes et nous serions ravis d y retourner!

The villa leaves nothing to be desired. In the accommodation you can have a great time. On arrival the apartment was clean and the rest of the service was perfect.

“Fantastic house and swimming pool in a beautiful location! Great view, really enjoy. Half an hour from Malaga, Marbella and the beach! Absolutely great"

“The property is great and it was very good. The location was ideal for us, 5 minutes from the town, but a very quiet private location. There are some noisy dogs nearby, but it didn’t bother us. The pool was bitingly cold, but we arrived in March, so hardly surprising. I would go back, which is saying something because I’ve never returned anywhere Good for kids (we have a 3yo and a baby), but not toddlers because there are a lot of steps and open access to the pool.

“Perfect location if you want peace and quiet which we did. Town with amenities not too far away. Villa was spotless. Easy drive from Malaga airport.”

The pool the views the quietness and the helpfulness of the owners

The outdoor space and location was wonderful and couldn’t be faulted. Pool is a great size for a family.

Great villa with amazing pool and beautiful mountain view. Arrive and departure was without any problem. The house is big, ideal for 6 people stay. Very good barbecue area. For stay in this Villa car is necessary. We are very happy, that we choose Villa Ruiz.

"Nach dem Treffen mit dem Hauseigentümer in Alhaurin el Grande (übrigens ein sehr nettes Städtchen mit kleinen Gassen, Häusern im andalusischen Stil und Restaurants und Bars wir waren positiv überrascht), hat er uns zum Haus begleitet und alles gezeigt. Das Haus war in einem perfekten Zustand. Alles sehr sauber! Der Eigentümer war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Hat uns sogar Mandarinen von den Bäumen hinter dem Haus geschenkt (sehr lecker). Das Haus liegt an einem Hang mit einem grandiosen Fernblick auf das Tal. Die Poollandschaft ist sehr schön, überall tolle und sehr gepflegte Pflanzen, Palmen und Hecken. Auf der überdachten Terrasse steht ein Tisch mit 6 Stühlen, der perfekte Sitz für einen wundervollen Ausblick zum Genießen. Auch im Haus war alles TipTop! Sehr gepflegte Betten und ausreichend Handtücher und Badetücher. Wir haben uns superwohl gefühlt und können dieses Haus nur weiterempfehlen. "
