The excellent configuration of the bedrooms provides perfect accommodation for 2 families of four [extra bed available as well as 2 cots and a highchair, all of which can be hired] One bedroom with an en-suite is located on one side of the house and the other en-suite double room is on the other side of the one storey house.

Beautiful villa very close to the town with fab golf near by. I went with a family of 8. Plenty of room for us all the location is the best ive ever had out of the many villa holidays we've taken 15min walk to town. The pool area is outstanding with a great outdoor kitchen area we loved the bbq. There is a bakery 2 mins walk to the left of the villa its a big building that supplies all the cafes in the area with bread and pasties we went every morning for fresh bread and cakes it was amazing very cheap as well. Couple of small issues that you expect in a villa holiday which were correct immediately by our fab hosts. Best holiday yet loved the golf with my 2 son in laws 2 year old loved it by the pool my wife and daughters loved the whole stay. The town is fabulous buzzing with Spanish life and fantastic bars and restaurants. Thank you and we hope to return soon. Peter

We have just returned after a fantastic family holiday at El Jardin Secreto. The Villa was perfect for our family of 8, which included grandparents and 4 teenagers. It had everything we needed and the pool and outside bar/bbq was amazing. Inside the bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage, kitchen well equipped and the A/C was very welcome! We made use of the washing machine and washing lines too.We didn't hire a car, but it was very easy to get around town using taxis and the local taxi company had no difficulty finding the villa (we've had problems with this before at other locations). The villa is a 5 minute walk from Lidl and Aldi which was very handy.Amanda was very easy to contact and quickly responded to any queries.All in all it was a great holiday and we hope to be back.

Lovely villa close to Nerja
El Jardin Secreto is set in lovely gardens and is perfect for a party of up to eight people. The pool area has plenty of sun loungers and the tiki bar with BBQ is perfect for evening drinks and eats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay although the walk back from Nerja is uphill and may not be suitable for elderly or disabled guests. Taxis are cheap and available from the taxi ranks in Nerja as an alternative. The hosts were very helpful and easy to contact if needed. Highly recommend this villa!

Wonderful pool and great view of the mountains
We were a large family group of 9, including 3 grandchildren, 11 months, 4 and 7 years. We all spent alot of time in the big pool which was in the sunshine all day, and we had all of our meals outside cooking on the bbq and 2 rings.
The beautiful gardens were very well kept and the kids loved picking up the lemons.
I loved seeing the mountains from the pool and from the back bedroom. A nearby new build has partially blocked the view of the sea and Nerja.
It was so handy having Lidl so close for supplies and choice of products.
We all enjoyed our holiday at the villa and might even return again one day.
The only thing missing from the description was any handwash in any bathroom, and it would have been good to have a scourer or dishcloth in the kitchen on arrival.
Some of the younger members of the family walked into Nerja - and also crazily walked back! Not me!

Amazing villa, fabulous holiday
The villa is fantastic, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, ample space for 7 ladies. Kitchen supplied with a vast array of utensils, crockery etc. Added bonus of dishwasher and washing machine. The jewel in the crown is the outside Tiki bar with sink, fridge, gass bbq and outside hob, also a shaded outside seating area as well as comfortable sun lounges and seating.
The villa is about a 30 minute walk into town, we jumped a cab in most nights for €7 but walked in during the day if we could drag ourselves away from the fabulous pool.
Villas spotlessly clean on arrival and pool maintenance comes twice a week and tends the beautiful garden also.
Had the best week in an amazing villa a d fabulous hosts, always quick to respond to any questions i had regarding the booking both before and during the holiday, can highly recommend!

Perfect family villa
We were a group of 2 parents and 4 young adults and we found the villa to be absolutely perfect for us. The pool area and outdoor cooking and seating facilities were the best that we have enjoyed at a villa. Plenty of space for everyone and an extremely private setting, perfect for late night music and drinks. The bedroom layout suited us perfectly as 3 couples, but would also easily accomodate 2 families comfortably. There is absolutely everything that you would need in this villa, including a pantry of basics that is very handy. The proximity to Nerja is easily walkable for the physically fit or 7/8 euro for a taxi. The lidl is a 5 minute walk and more than caters for all your self catering needs. Remember to bring tea bags and squash with you!! We enjoyed a vip kayaking tour from Maro beach with David from localexperiencesandadventures. (He also picked us up from the villa as we discovered that we were neighbours!) Maro beach is tricky to get to, only licenced vehicles are allowed. Burriana beach is a lovely day out, plenty of sunbeds and water activities, lined with restaurants and good toilet facilities, walkable in around 30 mins from the villa. We also went to Aquavelis waterpark for the day, taxi transport there was expensive as we were 6 people but if you have a car its a 30 minute drive. You have to buy sunbeds but there is nothing stopping you from laying down towels instead, there was plenty of space when we went, also its worth paying to hire the rubber rings.

8 of us went away for a friends 60th birthday. This was absolutely the perfect place to celebrate and enjoy ourselves without any worries. Been to Nerja before so knew the location and its perfect. 5 minute walk to lidl 20 minutes to town. The villa had everything you could possibly think of a proper home from home. The outside bar area was just perfection to us as we could keep food and drink separate. I would recommend this villa to anyone famoly and friends. If i had 1 minor criticism it would be do away with the sunken bath 😆 not my bag. Fabulous holiday had by all

Have just returned home after a fantastic week at this villa. Stayed with 5 friends who travel for a week of sun every year in Nerja. This has been the BEST villa experience so far 🙂 The villa was spotlessly clean and very well equiped. The outdoor space was superb, with a fantastic outdoor cooking area. Very large pool with comfy loungers. I would highly recommend and will return again in 2024 😎

Wonderful holiday at a lovely villa
We are so sad to leave this lovely villa and beautiful Nerja. We have had the most fabulous time. The villa is approx 25 min walk in to Nerja and there is a bus stop nearby on the main road to Nerja or into Frigiliana, which is the most beautiful little town. We most often called a cab to get in to the centre though. In August it is very busy late afternoon into night time in Nerja but early morning to afternoon is great to take in the beautiful setting. My husband and I even walked in early one morning and watched the sun rise on the balcon de Europa. Canyoning on the Rio Verde (with local experiences.es) was magnificent and we would use them again to do kayaking next time.
The pool at the villa is immaculate and the house is so well equipped with utensils etc. Amanda is so quick to respond to any questions or queries. We felt so at home and the kids had a wonderful time with all the space outdoors and in. The outdoor kitchen is a great feature. We have already said we intend to return to this villa in the near future 🤗
