How we work

A short list, chosen slowly.

We visit before we list

Every home on Caminito Stays has been seen in person. If we would not sleep there ourselves, it does not appear here.

You book with the owner

No resellers, no hidden mark-up. You speak directly to the people who look after the house you are staying in.

We live here

Our team is based in inland Málaga. We answer in Dutch, English and Spanish, and we know the roads, the trails and the tickets.

Guest reviews will appear on this site once real guests have stayed and written them. We do not publish anything we cannot stand behind.

Property owners

List your property with the locals who actually live here.

Keep more of every booking. We charge a fairer commission than the global platforms and bring guests who want what your home offers - calm, character, countryside.
