Holiday rental managementin Tolox
Tolox
Tolox is a spa village at the foot of the Sierra de las Nieves, recently a national park. The air is the attraction. Homes here suit walkers and anyone who wants August at a lower temperature than the beach.
Letting a house in Tolox
Cooler in August than the beach, and cold at night in spring. The house has to be packed for both.
- Village houses near the baths and the park gates
- Walking season in spring and autumn, families in summer
- A house that is warm at night and simple to lock up
The fee is 20% of the net rent, plus IVA. That is the listing, the messages, check-in, a hotel-grade clean, and someone going to the house when a message will not fix it. You block the weeks you want it yourself. Those weeks are not sold.

Between one guest and the next
01
The way in is written down
Guests driving to Tolox get the route in sentences, including the turn that looks wrong. A pin on a map is not enough when the last turning looks wrong.
02
Guests stay for the week
Most people who book Tolox stay for several nights, not a single night on the way to somewhere else. A quiet week is not priced like a full one in August.
03
The house is checked before they arrive
Heat, water, a light that works, and the pool if the house has one. A fault found in the afternoon is better than one the guest reports.
04
The weeks you want stay blocked
The calendar is held in one place. The weeks you want the house yourself come off before anyone can book them.
Who you talk to
Ivana
Ivana looks after the valley, from the airport towns up to the high villages. She moved to Spain to do this, and she is the person a guest actually reaches.
For a house in Tolox, this is who you talk to. Same phone as the rest of Guadalhorce.

The same answers we give on the phone, for a house in Tolox.
What is the fee, out here in the valley?
20% of the net rent, plus IVA. A house in Tolox is not priced as a favour, and it is not priced as if it were on the Golden Mile. The percentage is the same. The season is not.
We want the pool to ourselves in August.
Block it. Tell Ivana before the calendar opens. Your own weeks and a walker who needs the house the night before a hike are both easy to protect if they are written down, and a mess if they are not.
Do valley houses need a tourist licence too?
Yes. The register applies here the same as on the coast. A guest staying ten nights instead of three is not an exemption. We go through what the house still needs, and we do not advertise past it.
Who is actually nearby?
Ivana. She covers the towns from Alhaurín up into the sierra. She moved to Spain to do this work. The guest is not being talked through a gate code by someone reading a map in another office.
Pools, gates, wifi. Who deals with those?
They are the usual calls, including on a Saturday. Someone who already knows the house goes. You get the cost at the time, not a surprise list in October. We ask before anything that is not straightforward.
Will you pretend the house is on the beach?
No. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and the listing says Tolox: how long it takes to reach Málaga or the coast, and what the house really is. Village houses near the baths and the park gates. We do not borrow a sea view.
What should an owner in Tolox be honest about?
Cooler in August than the beach, and cold at night in spring. The house has to be packed for both. A house that is warm at night and simple to lock up
We live outside Spain.
So do plenty of the owners. Guests driving to Tolox get the route in sentences, including the turn that looks wrong. The key, the arrival note and the person who answers are here.
What is included between one guest and the next?
The house, properly, and on a week-long stay a look at the pool and the garden. Dust from the lane shows in photographs and in reviews. We would rather deal with it than read about it.
What do you need from us at the start?
Where the house is, how a stranger gets in, and which months you want it empty of guests. Call Ivana. Photographs come after that conversation.
Also in Guadalhorce
Ivana looks after the neighbouring towns as well. Same people, same standard, a different road.
