Luxurious Villa, with gorgeous heatable saltwater pool and superb privacy. | Villa in Cerros del Aguila

‘Golden Springs’ is a very pretty Andalusian Villa, with an unusually quiet and secluded garden, ideal for couples or 4 adults, being set in a well-established residential area. Situated at the very end of a cul-de-sac is a big bonus, adding to the feel of a getaway from the madding crowd. It has been described by guests as "a gem".
The living area has a wonderful feel about it, being open and bright. All the large veranda doors in the living room and master bedroom have been replaced with top-quality high-security doors, which do not have the ugly iron bars, often (appropriately) known as “wreckers”.
The villa is effectively a bungalow, being built on one level and the only significant steps are to reach the entrance. Once inside, the living area is all on one level, making it easy for elderly people to safely enjoy. There are only four steps leading down to the pool and garden.
The substantial garden and terrace as well as the pool are exceptionally secluded and include lawns and beautiful mature bushes and flowering plants. Built in traditional Andalusian style, we have upgraded many areas (it now has a large shaded veranda with dining table and chairs, leading onto a large terrace with panoramic views. This gives a choice of either indoor or outdoor dining, both accessible directly from the kitchen. The garden has a rustic thatched pergola with lounge style seating and large screen TV. Perfect for enjoying your favourite programmes and situated next to the BBQ area, in harmony with the exotic garden planting.
LOCATION
Being at the end of a cul-de-sac affords ‘Golden Springs’ exceptional peace and privacy. One rare feature is that despite the convenient location, there's an almost complete absence of traffic noise from either of the motorways. This is due to the privileged location, nestled in a valley running east-west, but which still allows full morning sun and almost all of the evening sun too. Go to sleep and wake up in complete silence, or if you prefer to have the windows open, you can hear the wind rustling the palm trees on the hillside and song from the abundant wild birds, for which the area is noted.
SWIMMING POOL, TERRACES & GARDENS
The Villa benefits from its own private swimming pool, WHICH CAN BE HEATED UPON REQUEST at an extra charge of €30 per day. Both the large terrace and the roof-top solarium boast panoramic mountain, campo and sea views.
There are many mature flowering plants as well as a pergola and adjoining BBQ area.
One of the best features of both the pool and garden is that because of a cliff which forms part of the property, they are not overlooked at all, except from remote campo as the photos show, giving seclusion and complete privacy.
INTERIOR
‘Golden Springs’ is finished to a high standard of luxury and has unlimited high-speed fibre Wi-Fi access for all the family. There is a 65-inch Smart TV fed by an IPTV system which has an enormous selection of HD channels, as well as catch-up and hundreds of HD play-on-demand movies, all of which are free to view. Top quality Bluetooth speaker for either indoor or outdoor use is available.
The accommodation is spacious throughout, with three double bedrooms. The Master Bedroom has a supremely comfortable double bed and the other two bedrooms both have high-quality single beds, which can be moved around to allow for different configurations.
All bedrooms are equipped with brand-new air conditioners. The master bedroom also has a ceiling fan – preferred by many over air conditioning – and the other two bedrooms have standard fans. The living/dining room has two ceiling fans and also a brand-new air-conditioner if you should need it.
For the winter months, all four of the air-conditioners are reverse-cycle and are able to heat. There are also electric radiators in all bedrooms as well as the living room and there are fan heaters in both bathrooms. The living room has a newly installed in 2023 rustic style wood burner, generating a magnificent amount of heat.
Both bathrooms have good-quality showers and the master bathroom is particularly large and has a bath. Water is provided by a gas heater and water pressure is very good, making your showers an invigorating experience! There is an additional outdoor shower to enjoy poolside, solar heated.
The spacious kitchen is fully fitted and new, with high quality oven, hob, grill, convection microwave/grill, dishwasher, washing machine, American style fridge, enough storage for the whole of Spain and all the other items you would usually expect from a luxury accommodation. The kitchen gives out on to the dining, or directly to the veranda with its stunning views, giving a choice of dining areas.
Furniture is new and of high quality, with leather lounge set and proper wooden tables.
SAFE
Key can be obtained from the Management Agent at the time of checking in.
PARKING
There’s private off-road parking for two cars and being at the end of a cul-de-sac, there’s no passing traffic.
LOCAL AMENITIES
Although we consider a car to be an advantage, it’s by no means essential all the time, since within 5-6 minutes’ walk to the bottom of the hill, there’s the heart of Cerros del Aguila, with 3 restaurants and bars and a small but well-stocked supermarket. Apart from the villa’s private and very secluded pool, if you’re a keen swimmer, the community has one of the best community pools we have seen, located next to an excellent restaurant serving both Spanish and Western cuisine at most reasonable prices.
NEAREST TOWNS
We chose this house partly for the ability to be able to reach all destinations on good roads, without resorting to motorway driving - which we don’t enjoy much. So, all the driving times given here are on pleasant roads and can be shortened if you’re happy to go on the motorway. ‘Golden Springs’ is located exactly mid-way between our two favourite towns on the coast – La Cala and Fuengirola.
Eight minutes’ drive to the coast in the Westerly direction lies the former fishing village of La Cala, which is one of the most popular and up-and-coming villages on the whole Coast. La Cala market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays, with lots of fun and tremendous bargains to be had. There’s a new wooden walkway linking La Cala to other coastal villages and we recommend the lovely 15 min walk from La Cala, in the direction of Riviera, to the Garden Bar, where the best fish and chips can be had with a lovely sea view thrown in.
If you prefer more shopping and night life, 8 minutes’ drive to the coast in the Easterly direction lies the town of Fuengirola, which has every amenity, even a quaint theatre, which is very well worth visiting.
If art and breath-taking scenery is your thing, we recommend a pleasant 15-minute drive inland, where the charming delights of the incomparably picturesque village of Mijas Pueblo await you.
All these towns have numerous fiestas at various times of the year and are highly recommended.
NEAREST BEACHES
The closest beaches are La Cala and Fuengirola, playa del Ejido, playa de Santa Amalia, all about 8 minutes easy drive away. We probably slightly prefer La Cala beaches over Fuengirola, as there are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. If water sports are more your thing, then the 'fun beach' in Marbella is only 10 minutes further (if you take the motorway) where you can make the most of jet skis, water skiing, para sailing, banana boat rides and much more!
AIRPORT
Malaga airport is about 25 minutes away. As we don’t particularly like using the motorway, as an alternative, we prefer to drive to nearby Fuengirola to hand over our car and then take the excellent train service which runs every 15 mins to the heart of the airport.
GOLF & OTHER NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
The most local of the many golf-courses in the area is Golf Cerrado del Aguila, which although only 9 holes, is reputed to be one of the prettiest on the coast and has a well-equipped gym. Or if you prefer 18 holes, we recommend El Chaparral, just 6 minutes’ drive away, which also has a superb and affordable restaurant with excellent sunset views. There are of course so many other golf courses within 10-15 minutes’ pleasant drive – take your pick!
Other attractions include superb country walks right from the back garden, horse-riding a short distance away and tennis is available next to the community pool.
SMOKING
We would appreciate it if you would kindly not smoke inside the villa. Thank you!
SUMMARY
We adore this villa and hope you will feel the same from the moment you step through the door to the moment you leave. It has a wonderful atmosphere and for location and privacy, it’s extremely hard to beat. Diana and Robert wish you a very happy stay!
