Entspannung hoch über dem Meer

Der Aufenthalt lohnt sich sehr, wenn man die Ruhe sucht, abends ins jacuzzi gehen möchte und den Sternenhimmel und die Landschaft geniessen möchte. Man sollte bisschen robust sein, was die Anfahrt ( letztes Stück betrifft), was aber durch den Ort der Unterkunft sehr schnell wieder wettgemacht wird. Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen nett und hilfsbereit!

Perfect place.

If you want to visit an authentic part of Spain; look out at stunning, spectacular views every day; go trekking on the mountainside in warm weather (even in winter) or just relax and chill out in an apartment in a fabulous villa with a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, great hosts and unbeatable prices, yet still only 40 minutes from the beaches of Torre del Mar (if you can drag yourself away), then Vine Ridge Retreats near the village of Comares, is the perfect place for you. We have just stayed there for one week and wish it could have been much longer. It was the first time we had stayed in accommodation where the owner was on site and were not sure how it would work out. But it couldn't have been better! David (the owner) was very friendly and welcoming and put us at our ease right away. Throughout our stay he was always there to answer any questions and was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. We were there house hunting and he went out of his way to help. His advice and knowledge were invaluable in pointing us in the right direction for first time buyers in Spain. Although David was always there when he was needed he was also careful to respect our privacy and to give us our own space. In summary; Vine Ridge Retreats is a great place to stay for the reasons mentioned, and many more, but no review would be complete without a mention for David's three little helpers- AKA Bruno, Charlie and Chico – three of the cutest and friendliest dogs you will ever meet. They made an enjoyable experience even more enjoyable. Needless to say: we will be back!

Relax assoluto per riposare e godere di un panorama mozzafiato

Due settimane di relax e tranquillità; proprietari molto disponibili e presenti per ogni richiesta. Abbiamo potuto godere della tranquillità del luogo, unità al lusso di una bella piscina e idro jacuzzi. Il bello di visitare un borgo come Comares con i suoi dintorni e la sera godere di una bella grigliata di verdure, di pesce o carne cucinati sui bbq a disposizione degli ospiti di David e jaqui. Una vacanza così ci voleva, grazie! Andrea e Nataliya

Prachtig appartement met fantastisch uitzicht over de uitlopers van de Narvada.

Studio appartement van alle gemakken voorzien en met een heerlijk zwembad + jacuzzi. Vriendelijke behulpzame eigenaren (Brits) met een aantal leuke hondjes(niet storend). Appartement is tot de laatste 1.5 km goed te vinden en bereikbaar waarna er een smalle stijle gedeeltelijk onverharde weg volgt. Robuste auto is wel handig (zeker als het geregent heeft). Voor minder valide mensen is deze plek niet geschikt.Wij hebben hier een fantastische week vakantie mogen beleven en raden dit zeker aan voor avonturiers.

Wonderful Apartment with amazing views and lovely people

We spend one week at Vine Ridge and want to come back as soon as possible. Every time we have to drive up and down the hill, it was an adventure. For the first time we had some trouble to come up, but after the second time it went great and also was a little bit fun. :) The apartment is homely and comfortabel. The pool is wonderful and the views on the surrounding mountains are amazing! We enjoyed every second at Vine Ridge. David and Jacqui are very very friendly and helped us, if we have some questions or other requests. Thanks again to you both! We are already missing the 3 dogs and the ambiance. La Axarquía is a nice place to spend the holidays. To many sights and lovely spots for a one week stay. I hope we can discover more next year!

Comfy apartment, gorgeous views, lovely owners, sweet dogs

David and Jacqui were incredibly friendly and helpful from the first mail to the last goodbyes. The studio was clean and comfortable, and obviously furnished by people who have stayed in such apartments and thought about what they'd like to have when they travel. The kitchen has everything you need to cook simple meals, there's a little sofa in addition to the table and chairs, there's plenty of storage space and several hangers for clothes. A minor detail (but one we notice, especially when lacking): there are plenty of hooks in the bathroom. The views really are that stunning and more. Though the drive up to the apartment is a bit hairy, it's worth it. We woke every morning to gorgeous sunrises over the mountains, and enjoyed watching the last light fall in the evenings on those same - but ever-changing - mountains. A word to the wise about the location. If you've read more of the reviews of Vine Ridge (we did), this shouldn't come as a surprise (and yet, it did): the spot is more remote than I was expecting. (It was also more peaceful and beautiful than I was expecting, so I'm really not complaining!) If you are visiting Andalusia for the first time and want to see as much as possible, you might want to think about staying someplace less remote, or moving around to a couple of other locations in addition. Wherever you stay: check Google Maps before you go, and pay close attention to the driving *times*, not just the distances. The distances are deceptive, because it's hard to imagine from flatter regions of the world just how twisty, turny, upy-downy those distances are. (On the other hand, that also made all our drives just gorgeous.) If you're looking for a spot with gorgeous views and pretty walks close by, and are planning to spend about half (or more) of your time chilling out at the pool, reading a book in front of the lovely views, and/or petting the dogs, then this is the place for you. Thanks again to David and Jacqui for a wonderful vacation.

Lovely place!

What a delightful place for our December escape! The location is idyllic- quiet with amazing views of mountains and sea, a perfect place for those who love both. Comares is an utterly charming village with interesting history. It’s a nice walk up the hill from Vine Ridge. The studio apartment was lovely and comfortable with internet and all we needed to cook. David and Jacqui were very kind and full of useful information about the area and activities. The dogs really helped make us feel at home. Despite the chilly mornings the pool was great for a refreshing dip, followed by a warming soak in the jacuzzi. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts, we hope to return soon!

Not to be missed

We spent a wonderful week at Vine Ridge. Before we even arrived we knew it would be special.The drive up the mountain was an adventure and quite exhilerating the higher we climbed.wonderful reward arriving at Vine Ridge. The views were spectacular and right in front of our studio. Wonderful to wake up to each morning.David and Jaqui are brilliant hosts so helpful and informative. Charlie, Bruno and Chico are a delight greeting us each morning,although the doggie biscuits may have helped. The pool area is really lovely and you can float about and take in the view or catch an eagle on the thermals. The poolside bed is a great idea. We laid on it at night to watch the stars and saw two shooting stars in one night. The studio was bright,modern and spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We are not surprised folk return all the time Vine Ridge is certainly a wonderful experience and we highly recommend it

Dream holiday location

In thirty years of visiting Spain I haven't stayed anywhere near as good as this break at Vine Studios for the combination of panoramic mountain-to-seaviews from the window; the quiet and privacy; the warmth and attention to detail of David & Jacqui; the scent of almond blossom in the evening (if you are here in Jan/Feb!); birdlife of eagles, warblers and hoopoes and more that even Chris Packham would be happy with; and should you tire of what's on your doorstep then with several big lung-fulls of mountain air you can walk up to the bar in Comares in 20 mins. Also, should you need more than the unbroken view of sunrise to awaken you then the powerful, hot shower and Spanish filter coffee will have bouncing into the morning! Thanks David & Jacqui - I think it hardly needs saying but Hasta Pronto!

Relfections from a Poolside Retreat

Tucked away in the hillsides of Andalucia, the VineRidge Retreat provides the perfect home to explore the beautiful hillsides and landscapes on your doorstep. The view from the pool is breathtaking, and David and Jacqui are hosts par excellence, who could not be more accommodating and helpful, aided by the 3 amigos, Chico, Bruno and Charlie, who became our four-legged friends of the highest order. The apartment was perfectly setup for us and opening the door onto amazing, morning sunshine and sitting outside for breakfast is a experience wish hope to repeat soon, and one I highly recommend. The area is perfect for walks for those sturdy of foot, and the trail up to the beautiful village of Comares is worth it for the view. Great food is on hand at the small bars and restaurants, and the mini mart at the top of the village has all needed for a week self catering. A fantastic holiday and one that will be repeated in the future.

Excellent place and amazing value

I would highly recommend the Cullimore's Vine Ridge for a beautiful,relaxing and fully equipped studio to come and stay. We have stayed there 3 times and are about to book again for next year. The views are stunning, it's quiet and once you've driven the track its no problem. David and Jacqui are perfect hosts, they are there if you need them but not intrusive. Elder daughter Gemma cooks fab homemade pizzas to buy that we can recommend if you fancy a break from cooking or going out. The dogs are so friendly and come for a visit every morning. Vine Ridge is excellent value for money, you will not find better. The outside area is big with plenty of seats and various bbq that we used almost daily on our last holiday. The double bed is lovely for star gazing. What more could you want for a truly relaxing holiday. John and Lynne Poole

Lovely couple, amazing views....loved the dogs!

We were very well looked after by David and Jacqui. Beautiful views from the apartment and we loved the dogs, they made the holiday for our little boy! The apartment was lovely, with pretty much everything we needed. The track up to the apartment was pretty hairy but we got used to it. Comares was very picturesque and we loved the bar in the main square. Our only criticism would be that the outside/communal areas could in our opinion be neatened up a bit with regards to the sunbeds and bbq area. Otherwise we would highly recommend staying at Vineridge and would certainly return!

Wayne C., Caerphilly

Tranquil paradise with internet access.

This is a nice little studio apartment with a view out onto a beautiful valley. As with a lot of inland Spain, the views are stunning. The property is easy to find and the track you traverse, to get to it, is pretty good (easily achievable in a Panda). The pool is lovely, it is very quiet and there is a track that provides a pleasant walk up to Comares, a little village perched right on top of a rocky edifice. For peace and tranquillity, look no further. Relax and chill. I am an explorer, however, so my only minor gripe was that it is quite a long way from anywhere, though the more commercial coast (not really my thing) is not too far away. For the intrepid, there are plenty of mountain roads to explore and even higher villages but I would recommend Antequera's Alcazaba, via El Torcal Natural Park, which is beautiful in June. I also visited Ronda but that's a fair old distance but so worth it. There is a nice lake, to the north, but not much around it. If I was the chilling by the pool type, this would have been 5 stars but I do like the historic architectural side of Spain so the remoteness was a massive plus but also a technical minus. The eating places, in Comares, were also reasonable with the one by the racket courts being the best. Good shower, didn't watch the TV, played CDs on the DVD player. bed was comfortable. Good Wi-Fi.

Great Owners, Superb Views, Very Homely

From the beginning of the booking process David was always at the other end of the email to answer ALL my questions. We arrived at the Villa and David and Jacqui were present to greet us. We have book an apartment and a villa just behind vine ridge (Petes place). The apartment was very homely and had everything you need for a break, welcome pack was provided for a cuppa and the honesty bar came in handy (50c for a beer!) Our friends arrived and had the villa, the villa is all lovely and shiny as you would expect from a new build, the pool and facilities are top class. The drive in is an experience, but gets easier each time you do it. The drive is more than worth the stunning views. I have to mention the dogs, I feel my soft spot was for the chico as he still has the puppy factor! We made da day trip to Marbella and Puerto Banus with ease in the hire cars!

super tucked away gem.

after the most horrendous year we booked this place in the hope of sancturary and we were not dissapointed. david, Jackie, their girls and 'the boys' made sure our stay was welcoming and the best possible experience. our little studio was more than comfortable for ourselves and our 12 year old, it was immaculately kept. the views are STUNNING - i cannot emphasise that enough, so much so that on the 3rd day we set our alarm clock so we could sit out and watch the most amazing sunrise over the mountains.we are not birdwatchers, but can imagine this would be a good spot for those who are - we saw numerous eagles which were beautiful to watch. So, if you want seclusion but near enough to town and coast to get to, if you want the most caring and attentive hosts, a lovely little swiming pool with the added bonus of a fabulous bed on the patio that you can lie and look at the scenery from - this is the place!....we found true peace and calm, and we will be back. many thanks david and gang...your place rocks!!

Brilliant second visit

Our second visit to Vine Ridge was even better than we had remembered. We expected/feared that Comares would have been "discovered" and be full of English bars offering fried breakfasts. Instead, we were delighted to find how little it had changed in four years. From the studio, the views are stunning and the air is almost silent - lying by the pool admiring the view is a perfect way to spend the holiday. Although we hired a car - with good intentions to explore the area - it's extremely difficult to find the motivation to leave the pool. Whereas normally a need for bottled water or desire for wine/ice cream would do it, David and Jacqui have introduced a poolside honesty bar equipped with various drinks and a selection of ice cream. And there are homemade pizzas available to buy for an evening meal. So the hire car had very little mileage on it when we got back to Malaga airport! The studio itself is very clean, very comfortable and perfectly equipped for self-catering. It's full of little homely touches (such as all the little carved wooden games) that go well beyond the usual sparse holiday accommodation. The Sky tv and the Wi-fi provide a link back to the English-speaking world should you need a dose of reality. David and Jacqui are friendly and incredibly helpful hosts. Having arrived on a Sunday (no shops open) before a bank holiday Monday (no shops open), they let us borrow food and toiletries until we could get to a supermarket! Another talent of theirs is the foolproof directions from Malaga airport. We got exactly what we wanted from this holiday - peace, quiet and relaxation. It's not (as my grandmother misheard from "Malaga") Magaluf but it's the perfect place if you want to see a more unspoilt Spain. Thanks to David, Jacqui, the girls and the dogs for another brilliant holiday! Emma and James

About the host

Hosted by David and Jacqui Cullimore

Host profile image
Jacqui and I moved over from Maidstone in Kent , South of England in 2007 to change our direction in life from in my case working for PLC's in the Record and Brewery industry to setting up a business for ourselves in the tourist industry, I guess with my background of sales and marketing and Jacqui's secretarial experience it seemed a good match to work in an industry where you need to want to help people who are often investing in their one of the most important weeks of the year and also the need to be organised in helping with the numerous questions we often get, here at Vine Ridge Retreats we work on repeat business and recommendations and as you can see after 17 years of which we have run the business we are here for the long-term.

The pleasure of seeing guests faces when they witness how majestic the views are from this incredible area of Spain never fades and in an ever changing world Comares due to being build on a mountain does not change and is often a comfort factor for customers coming back.

Why they chose this property

Our decision making in choosing this area was that for only being one hour from Malaga we are in a stunning part of Andalucia with both Moutain Views and Sea Views.
Vine Ridge Retreats and all the properties we manage is located in the real Spain but with added bonus you can be on the beach in around 30 minutes , the lovely city of Malaga in one hour and also Granada in around 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Comares the local village is only a 10 minute drive from us and can be walked to depending on fitness levels in 20 minutes, again this is an authentic village where tourists and locals mix and the views are simply stunning.
