Casa Del Rabea

This luxury Andalusian villa occupies a peaceful spot near the Guadalmina River, near the traditional village of Benahavis in southern Spain. This fully-catered villa is ideal for families, with five bedrooms, separate TV and living rooms, and a private swimming pool.

Casa del Rabea is an inviting rural retreat, set amongst 600 acres of woodland in the private ‘Torre de Tramores’ estate. The privacy of the spacious estate, coupled with its proximity to Malaga airport (less than an hour away), makes Casa del Rabea the perfect villa for weddings and large group celebrations. It’s also just a 10-minute drive inland from Benahavis, a bustling, picturesque village known as ‘the dining room of the Costa del Sol’. In the village centre, white-linen tables line the streets and superb traditional Spanish dishes are served as the sun goes down. Once you’ve fully indulged in the local cuisine, the area offers plenty of opportunities to work it off; there are several championship golf courses nearby and a little further inland is Sierra de las Nieves, a stunning nature reserve with woodland and mountains.

The villa has been designed in a traditional Andalusian style; the rooms are bright and colourful, with paintings, ceramics and Moorish touches adding character. There’s a generous master bedroom and en suite on the ground floor, three en suite bedrooms on the first floor and a further bedroom in the attic, which shares an en suite with a first-floor bedroom. The comfortable sitting and dining rooms are perfect for large gatherings and open directly onto the terraces with many shaded areas for dining and relaxing outside. At the front of the house there’s large, manicured lawn, perfect for ball games, and at the back there’s a 12m heated swimming pool lined with sun loungers. For sunbathing with a view, head up to the large roof terrace and admire in the spectacular Spanish countryside.

Casa Del Rabea is fully staffed all season. Six days a week your private chef will serve breakfast and lunch; dinner can also be arranged for an additional cost. Your daily housekeepers will look after all the cleaning, washing up and laundry, and turn down the beds each evening. The villa can be rented on its own or paired with Tramores next door. When rented together the villas can sleep up to 30 guests, creating a wonderful wedding venue.

A holiday at this exclusive villa is a chance to enjoy the finest Spanish cuisine, both in nearby Benahavis and from the privacy of your property, thanks to your personal chef. For a peaceful family holiday, or a large group celebration, Casa Del Rabea offers a warm welcome.
