Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SayalongaVilla Sayalonga is located practically between the two towns of Sayalonga and Algarrobo, near Malaga. Both are typically Spanish towns, with their narrow winding roads and white-washed walls, but surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills and enjoying plenty of sunshine. If you're visiting in Spring, be sure to head to Sayalonga for the annual Festival of Nisperos (a type of local fruit), which celebrates the rich agricultural industry of this region with festivities, food, music, and activities. Algarrobo is similar, with festivals such as Feria, which fills the town with live music and passionate flamenco dancers during August. Algarrobo is also known for its delicious cakes called Tortas de Algarrobo. Make sure to grab a few of these sweet treats to take back home with you! Both towns are part of the popular 'Route of Sun and Wine', which is a suggested route for visitors to the region wanting to enjoy the Spanish sun and indulge in a glass or two of some local vino.
Malaga is a deeply vibrant and intoxicating region that can be found around an hour away from Villa Sayalonga. This area is teeming with incredibly fascinating historical landmarks such as El Torcal de Antequera, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is bound to impress even the most experienced of travellers. This expansive parkland is teeming with walking trails, giving guests the prime opportunity to bask in a plethora of beautiful natural elements. If you are looking for a much more thrilling experience, you must travel along the Caminito del Rey. This is an impeccable aerial pathway that travels along the walls of a monumental gorge. Thus, this is an ideal attraction to visit if you are looking to observe everything this vivacious region has to offer from a wealth of awe-inspiring perspectives. El Torcal de Antequera can be found around 90 minutes away from the villa.
If you're driving that way, why not stop off in Malaga? Another popular tourist attraction is the Alcazaba of Malaga, an 11th-century fortress that is based just 45 minutes away from Villa Sayalonga. This landmark boasts a very significant and rich history since it was once home to a wealth of acclaimed Moorish royals as well as an array of Catholic monarchs such as King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Guests must explore every aspect of this tremendous monument and deepen their knowledge of Malaga's rich royal history. Once you have explored the interior of this fortress, you are free to take a close look at the outdoor grounds. Here, you will be inundated by a variety of zesty citrus trees and impeccable vines. Guests should also use their time at this attraction to revel in the remarkable panoramic views that surround them.

A majority of these pieces have been donated by friends and family of the artist, creating a more intimate collection for guests to explore.

Stunning mountain retreat
This really is a beautiful villa perched high in the mountains of southern Spain. Tasteful decor, good sized rooms and plenty of outside seating all make for a relaxing stay for 8 of us. There is great attention to detail with a well equipped kitchen, a good selection of store cupboard essentials , fly screens throughout, shutters, aircon etc. The good sized pool looks out onto the most breathtaking views. Mirjam the caretaker is superb, and we enjoyed a couple of nights out in Sayalonga plus a fabulous wine tasting and lunch at Bodega Bentomiz- would thoroughly recommend.

What a top location!
Stayed here for 12 days last fall. In one sentence: what a top location. Great surroundings, top climate and a beautiful location. Were here with a group of several couples, so the guesthouse was absolutely great. Saltwater swimming pool more than fantastic, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning in almost all rooms, terrace very attractively decorated and equipped with several seating areas. The view is great. Contact with the landlords was very pleasant, beautiful walking routes were definitely available. All questions were answered quickly. Location halfway to the mountain top, privacy if you want it, but if you want to visit the villages and conviviality, you can get there in no time. Everything has been thought of in terms of sustainability, our own herb garden, solar panels and the environment have been taken into account, in short, an absolute recommendation and we will definitely book here again.
