    The comfortable and spacious accommodation (101m²) comprises:
    • Spacious living room with open kitchen
    • Kitchen with ceramic hob, microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer and small kitchen appliances
    • 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin)

    The lounge opens directly onto the pergola covered dining area. The terrace also includes an outdoor kitchen with a brick built BBQ. Adjacent to the private swimming pool there is a cosy gazebo where you can relax in the shade. The garden is terraced and has a selection of Mediterranean plants and palms.

    Casa Pura Vida is located 2 km off the Torrox - Competa road (A7207) and is accessible via a paved small mountain road.
    The drive from Malaga Airport takes approximately an hour.
    A (rental) car is required!

    The holiday villa is ideally located for exploring the 'pueblos blancos', the charming whitewashed Andalusian villages along the 'Ruta del Vino y Sol'.
    Torrox Pueblo, with its narrow alleys and cozy village square is a 15-minute drive. The beach of Torrox Costa with its numerous and nice terraces is a 20-minute drive.
    The Autovía del Mediterráneo passes both villages. Charming villages (such as Frigiliana) and beautiful coastal towns (such as Nerja) are easily accessible via this highway.
    The beautiful and cultural city of Malaga is only a 50 minute drive and within 1,5 hour is the historic city of Granada, with its beautiful Alhambra palace and Moorish gardens.

The property overall was in good condition, however there was some crumbling concrete around the pool that needs attention as its very sharp underfoot if not noticed. The views were great and the outdoor area was really nice, this is a very important consideration for my wife and I when booking our annual holiday in Spain, the drive from the main road to the Villa was well signposted and as we often find, the tracks are single file only and can be scary for first time visitors. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and unfortunately were too late to book again for 2026 ! we will definitely consider this property in the future and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family

Exceeded expectations

The villa’s position is second to none, stunning. The drive off the main road is a little daunting but you soon get use to it. The owners were very quick to respond with any queries and Kevin was very helpful as well. The villa itself is well equipped and all essentials were there from cooking oil to washing up liquid. The views from the pool area are breathtaking with the sun being there all day. We will definitely be back! Thank you very much.

A lovely and quiet location in the hills

We had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable time at this villa, the location was wonderful and just what we were looking for as a place to relax for a week. It was well equipped and clean and the pool/outside areas were spacious and ideal for chilling either during the day or in the evening. The property manager, Kevin, was friendly and most helpful both on our arrival and on the one time we had a question for him during our stay. Finding the villa was a little tricky, but that was because we chose to try and find it ourselves rather than take up the offer of being met by Kevin at a local fuel station. The drive down from the main road can be a little bumpy, so care is required but this short drive down if definitely worth it and we would definitely visit again.

The perfect place to relax and unwind

If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, then Casa Pura Vida fits the bill. Set in the heart of a valley, the villa offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and mountains in the distance. The villa itself is beautifully well presented and extremely well equipped- one of the best I have ever seen. Here you can enjoy all the delights of outdoor living with a good sized sheltered terrace (seats 6) and also a delightful gazebo/ pergola complete with comfy seating, cushions and screens if you need to create some shade. There is also a good sized pool- perfect for cooling off, if you need to. If you wish to explore the surrounding area, the villa is within easy driving distance of many attractive white villages. It is also an hour’s drive on the autovía to Málaga,where you can explore this wonderful city as well as board a train to visit Córdoba, Sevilla and Granada. All in all, this is an excellent villa with all the comforts of home while also a great base from which to explore so much of wonderful Andalucīa. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I do hope to return in the future.

A perfect retreat in the Andalucian hillside

We stayed in Casa Pura Vida for a week at the beginning of June and it truly is a home from home. We were met at the top of the access track by Daniella & Magnel (the housekeepers) who were excellent and spoke perfect english. They escorted us on the 10 minute drive down to the villa and although it is an unmade track for the first part, it does then change to a better 'road'. However, in our experience this is normal with most villas in Andalucia. The villa is accessed by lockable gates and was immaculately clean and beautifully presented throughout. The furniture, fixtures and fittings within the villa were of a high standard. Likewise, the pool area is extensive and very well maintained with excellent sunbeds / cushions. The pool area was in the sun from around 9am through to 8:30pm at the time we were there. We cooked at the villa every night, twice using the excellent brick-built BBQ (remember to pick up your charcoal and firelighters before you go to the villa!) and the sheltered dining area outside is perfect for enjoying dinner as the sun goes down. Overall, we had a totally relaxing stay at Casa Pura Vida. It is peaceful and in a very beautiful setting. We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa and hope to return again at some point. Gary & Kim, UK

Lovely villa and outside space.

It was unfortunate that it was raining when we arrived in Spain but this was not so depressing when we arrived at the villa. It had a lovely lounge with gorgeous views all round. The electric radiators and air con provided much needed warmth. Luckily by the following day the weather perked up so we could enjoy the outdoor space. The outdoor kitchen and bbq was wonderful with much needed shade whilst cooking. And we loved the pagoda seating area with 360 degree views. Sun or shade depending where you sat anytime of day. Wonderful! The pool is just a nice size for a swim or cool down. The kitchen is well equipped with a modern hob and oven. A King size bed would be a nice addition to the bedroom. Plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. My only grumble would be the bathroom. That shower curtain and me did battled everyday. A shower cubicle would be better. I dislike stepping in and out a bath although I appreciate some people like baths. Just my personal opinion. The road leading to the villa by Andalusia standards is pretty good. It’s mostly made up, not too narrow or steep. Once you’ve done it once or twice it isn’t too bad, especially when you see how steep or narrow some of the roads are nearby. Competa and Torrox towns are about 15/20 minutes drive as too to Torrox beach for shops and restaurants. I would say if you plan on doing more cooking than eating out then stop at a Carefour on the way from the airport to the villa as shops nearby aren’t huge. Co-Op size.

Schönes Haus an schöner Lage

Leider ist der Text verschwunden! Dann Schreiben wir es halt nochmals. Danke an die Hausbesitzer, es hat alles bestens geklappt. Die Zufahrt ist sehr speziell, aber mit dem richtigen Auto, wir hatten einen JEEP, kein Problem. Die Hausübergabe war "kurz und schmerzlos", das war es dann auch schon mit dem Service. Besten Dank für den "Notvorrat"! Das Haus und das Grundstück sind toll, schnell hatten wir mit der gedeckten Lounge unseren Lieblingsplatz. Das Haus ist nicht neu aber gepflegt, der Wasserhahn in der Küche sollte jedoch dringend gemacht werden. Auch die Brause an der Aussendusche könnte ersetzt werden. Wir haben uns erlaubt, den Duschvorhang zu ersetzten, der alte Vorhang war nicht sehr appetitlich. Das Bett dürfte 20-40cm breiter sein, aber wir waren ja nur zu zweit und hatten Ausweichmöglichkeiten. Wir können das Haus empfehlen für Leute, die auch mal zuhause bleiben wollen. Die Aussicht und die Ruhe laden dazu ein. Unser Andalusien-Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Atemberaubende Villa

Eine atemberaubende Villa in exponierter Lage. Umgeben von einer malerischen Kulisse. Die Inneneinrichtung und Außenanlagen sind sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet und gepflegt. Der Pool war für unsere dreiköpfige Familie neben der Terrasse der Schauplatz unseres Aufenthaltes. Die Fahrt entlang der Berge ist mit einem Kleinwagen bei umsichtigen Fahren gut zu bewältigen. Allerdings waren wir das bereits von anderen Andalusien Reisen gewohnt. Jedoch sollte man etwas Zeit bis Torrox Costa (ca. 30 Minuten) oder Nerja (ca. 45 Minuten) einplanen. Über einen vorherigen Kommentar bezüglich des Flugzeuglärms kann ich nur den Kopf schütteln. Natürlich hört man gelegentlich mal entfernt ein Flugzeug. Ich tippe mal, die meisten sind in solch einem an und abgereist, oder? Einen besonderen Dank möchten wir an dieser Stelle noch einmal Kevin aussprechen. Ein herzlicher und zuvorkommender Mensch, auf den jederzeit Verlass war. So einen Ansprechpartner vor Ort zu haben trug wesentlich zu unserem erholsamen und entspannten Urlaub bei. Der Kontakt mit der Gastgeberfamilie Lammens war durchgehend angenehm und freundlich! Wir freuen uns wiederkommen zu dürfen!
