Villa Iris Overview
This contemporary jewel lies in the foothills of Andalucía on the outskirts of the pretty village of Nerja. The brilliant white exterior with slate grey brickwork stands out against a natural backdrop. Cleverly designed in an elevated position, it affords beautiful panoramic views of the coastline.
An aqua-hued swimming pool hugs the front of the property and is perfect for morning laps. Bright poolside lounges and a modern, white outdoor dining table feature too. If you hire a car to explore, there is ample parking in a private bay under the villa.
One of the highlights of Villa Iris is the huge indoor whirlpool, there are also several areas to chill, with modern sofas and also an indoor dining table for six. We loved the contemporary touches in the bedrooms, such as the Japanese-style sliding wardrobe doors and the brilliant white blinds.
A stroll into the centre of Nerja takes just under half an hour. Part of Spain’s Costa Del Sol, Nerja has maintained its authenticity, with narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed houses. The area boasts sixteen kilometres of golden beaches and fantastic water sports such as Scuba diving and sailing.

Villa was nice, very odd layout, Kitchen Island too small cannot put toilet paper down the toilet isn't pleasant at all. Random whirlpool in basement that serves no purpose as restricted on temperature.

Lovely modern villa quite isolated in the hills with a single track leading to it which meant there were no noisy neighbours. Fantastic views of Nerja with lovely infinity pool. Nerja itself is bustling with street entertainment around the Balcon de Europe area. Many shops and restaurants, a lovely place to visit. Biriani beach is a large bay with plenty of room with clean grey grainy sand but not ideal for very young children as there is a shelf on the waters edge and gets deep very quickly. Beautiful and clear.

The villa is located up the mountain in a great position on its own with amazing views over Nerja and towards the sea. You have to be confident driving to get to it as does involved navigating a very narrow farm road/track but only takes 5/10 mins from the main road. Once there, wow! House is amazing with every luxury including an indoor pool/hot tub. We had perfect satellite tv whilst there with amazing HD UK tv for those hours between sun bathing and going out. House is huge and very modern throughout. Easily the best house we’ve had through Solmar (or maybe other villa companies).

Villa Iris provided us with a wonderful base for our return to Nerja after 5 years away. 1st experience with Solmar Villas and were very impressed by the service. Local Solmar representative Noelia Sanchez was excellent and very helpful when we required assistance.

Lovely villa - lots of space and pool was amazing, location fantastic too, amazing views. Probably not for small children as the pool area and indoor stair areas would be a bit of a hazard. But for teenage kids it is perfect. If I had to comment on a couple of things it would be the downstairs jacuzzi (although very clean) was cold and damp/drain smell often wafted upstairs. Not sure it adds much when the pool space outside is so lovely. We love to relax/cook outside in the evening, apart from the dining chairs there was no relaxing outdoor chairs/sofa as is shown in the villa website photos. Some of the cooking utensils need replacing as old and worn out. Nerja itself is really lovely and eating out very reasonable.

The villa has a great view over Nerja and the sea, and is a five minute drive from Burrianna beach, and all the shops you could need. The villa is finished to a very high standard and it's facilities are excellent. The views from the pool are amazing and we will definitely return!

Nerja is a lovely Spanish seaside town - its touristy but still retains a Spanish feel to it, has lots of great restaurants and isnt too spoilt. Beaches are great for the kids. Villa Iris is situated a bit out of the town so is quiet and has the advantage of being much bigger and more modern than many of the villas in the town. Its great to have an indoor pool as well and there was tons of space and storage.

FABULOUS MODERN VILLA Villa Iris is a new fabulous modern villa and we have no real complaints. The villa is very modern and furnished well. There is plenty of space both inside and outside the villa. The pool deck is very spacious with six good quality loungers, there is also an outside dining table with six chairs which is situated under an awning which can be opened and closed depending on whether you want shade or not - very useful. The 'indoor pool' is a nice touch but we thought it wasn't heated enough to want to lounge around in it for very long, if it was heated more we would have made more use of it. The kitchen is well equipped but missing just a few small minor items such as a decent coffee pot (cafetiere), potato peeler, a chopping board, etc.., however this is a small point and as this is a new villa we dare say the owners will correct this as time goes by. The three bathrooms are all modern and very well appointed - two shower rooms and one bathroom with bath, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The outdoor pool is wonderful, it is big with a maximum depth is 1.6M, but it is not heated and this was a problem, we were there in May the weather was wonderful but the pool was much too cold, we feel not installing pool heating is a mistake, we like to swim but we only used it twice during out 10 day stay and this did somewhat spoil the enjoyment. The villa is very secure with shutters and/or grilles on most windows, the villa is walled in on all sides, access is through a lockable gate with a video entry system. The villa is set on a hillside above Nerja, the view is wonderful looking down on the town and sea. The access road up to the villa is one track and more than a bit rough. When we first arrived we wondered how we would manage in the dark, however you do get used to it and it is not a real problem we managed perfectly well in our hired Ford Focus. Luckily we never met anyone going the opposite way to us as passing on most of the track would be difficult. We would not hesitate in recommending this villa to anyone, however we feel we must point out that there is an unguarded drop of approximately 2M off the far side of the outdoor pool which may be dangerous for young children. We had a fabulous holiday the villa, the weather and Nerja were all wonderful.
