Holiday villa · Coín, Málaga, Spain
Your private villa above Coín
Three bedrooms, a 10 × 5 m heated pool and views across the mountains of Andalucía. Half an hour from the Costa del Sol, a world away from it.
A home from home in the hills
A family villa with a heated pool near Málaga, set high above the Guadalhorce valley.
Villa Madrid is a traditional whitewashed Andalusian villa on its own hilltop, 2.9 km from Coín, a proper market town that hasn't been taken over by tourism. Electric gates open onto a private plot with views in every direction, so you can watch the sun come up over the town and go down behind the mountains.
The heated pool is the heart of the place: 10 × 5 m, 1.1 to 1.8 m deep, with sunbeds, balls, toys and lilos, and it can be fenced off from the garden for little ones. Around it are front and rear terraces for eating outside, a covered porch, a built-in barbecue, a pool table and darts.
Inside you'll find high beamed ceilings, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning that also heats, an authentic Spanish lounge with a log fire for winter, a smart TV with soundbar and Xbox, and a fully equipped kitchen and utility room. We leave a welcome pack for your arrival.

CroesoWelcomeBienvenidosMeet Trefor & Amanda
We're a Welsh family, and Villa Madrid is our home in Spain. We fell for this quiet corner of Andalucía, with its whitewashed villages, orange groves and mountain views, and we love sharing it with guests who come back year after year.
Trefor looks after every booking himself, from your first question to directions on the day, and our friendly caretakers live just five minutes from the villa if you need anything while you're here.
We hope you can stay with us very soon.
Tref, Amanda & family
Location
Where we are
In the hills above Coín, inland from the Costa del Sol, between Málaga and Marbella.
Villa Madrid sits on a quiet hillside 2.9 km from the centre of Coín, in Málaga province. You're close enough to pop into town for tapas, and far enough away for total peace.

Coín, your local town
Coín is a real working Andalusian town rather than a resort: whitewashed streets, tiled fountains, shaded plazas full of cafés, and the historic church of San Juan Bautista. The town is ringed by orange groves, and the Río Grande nearby is lovely for a riverside walk.

The pool is the best we’ve ever had in a villa, and there are lots of activities for the kids (and adults).
Loved the remote location and views. Lots of bonus activities, especially the pool table. All rooms clean, comfortable and well equipped.
Views to die for, and a large well heated pool. Plenty of loungers and plenty of space to lounge in. We’ve never stayed anywhere like it.
The views are wonderful and the sunrise is worth getting up early for. Trefor was very quick to respond to any questions I had before the trip and whilst we were there.
This place is perfect for families and has everything you could ever need! Great pool, great location and very private! We love this so much we have booked again!
Trefor and Amanda have catered for all your needs… I can not recommend Villa Madrid enough, 5 stars.

Good to know
Planning your stay
Quick answers to the questions guests ask us most.
How far is Villa Madrid from Málaga airport?
About 35 to 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic. The roads are easy, and the last stretch up to the villa is a steep private drive.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is included throughout the villa.
Is the pool heated?
Yes. The private pool is 10 × 5 m, 1.1 to 1.8 m deep and heated, so it's warm enough for spring and autumn swims. Heating is included at no extra charge. The pool area can be fenced off from the garden for young children.
Is there air-conditioning?
Yes. All three bedrooms and the lounge have air-conditioning, and the same units heat as well, so the villa stays warm in winter too.
Do I need a car?
Yes, we recommend one. Coín is 2.9 km away (a 20 to 25 minute walk into town), but the walk back up is steep, and the beaches, golf courses and Málaga are all a short drive. There's free private parking behind the electric gates.
How far is the beach?
The nearest beaches at Fuengirola and Mijas Costa are around 30 minutes' drive. Marbella and Puerto Banús are about 40 minutes.
What is there to do nearby?
Coín has plazas, cafés and tapas bars, and walks along the Río Grande. Alhaurín Golf is 16 minutes away and Lauro Golf 19 minutes. Mijas, Marbella and Málaga are easy drives, and guests have enjoyed day trips to Ronda, Gibraltar, Seville, Granada and Córdoba.
Where are the nearest shops and restaurants?
Coín has large supermarkets, shops and plenty of restaurants a few minutes' drive from the villa. Many local restaurants close on Mondays, so it's worth checking before you head out.
Is Villa Madrid good for families?
Very. There are pool toys and inflatables, board games, books and a games console, and the pool area can be fenced off. It sleeps up to 6 in three bedrooms.
Can you provide a cot or high chair?
Yes. We have a travel cot and a high chair. Just mention them in your booking request and we'll have them ready.
Are bed linen and towels provided?
Yes. Beds are made up for your arrival, and we provide bath towels plus beach and pool towels.
Is there a washing machine?
Yes. The utility room has a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 11am. If your flights don't fit, ask us and we'll help where we can.
Is the villa private and secure?
Yes. Villa Madrid stands on its own hilltop plot behind electric gates, with no neighbours overlooking the pool or terraces.
Is Villa Madrid good for a winter stay?
Yes. Winters on the Costa del Sol are mild and sunny, the air-conditioning in every bedroom and the lounge also heats, and the lounge has a log fire for cooler evenings.
Who do I contact during my stay?
Trefor looks after every booking himself and replies quickly, and our caretakers live five minutes from the villa if you need help in person.
Can I bring my dog?
Sorry, pets aren't allowed at Villa Madrid.
