Vacation Rental Description
La Vinuela is a traditionally built Andalusian villa situated on 5000m of terraced land with almond trees, grapevines and fig and loquat trees at about 350m above sea level. It is a lovely quiet place to enjoy nature and to spend your holidays surrounded by spectacular views of the mountains with only the sound of birds and perfect for hikes and walks. The property is situated 9 km from the town of Almuñecar and it takes about 20 minutes by car to cover the distance to your holyday home over a winding asphalted road except for the last 600m which is a concrete road. The house and its surroundings is an oasis of peace and quiet but at the same time you can enjoy the typical Spanish town of Almuñecar with its tapa bars, small winding shopping streets dated from Arabic times, good and reasonable priced restaurants and the typical Spanish atmosphere that is so hard to find these days on the busy Spanish coast. The Costa Tropical earned its name for the great variety of tropical fruit it grows thanks to a special micro climate.
The villa La Vinuela has two terraces, one in the shade at the entrance of the living room with a teak furniture dining table and chairs and the lower terrace with garden furniture shaded by a parasol, a beautiful 4x8 private swimming pool surrounded by gardens, with sun loungers, an outdoor shower and a BBQ. The cosy living room has a comfortable sofa and chairs, DVD, satellite TV with Dutch and English channels and a wood burning heater for chilly nights in winter. The kitchen is completely equipped for 6 persons (gas cooker, toaster, coffee machine, oven, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, hand mixer, juicer, iron with board and washing machine).
The three bedrooms sleep 6 and are arranged as follows, a master bedroom with a double bed, a double bedroom and a room with bunk beds. The bathroom has a shower, sink, bidet and toilet. On one side of the living room next to the kitchen is the dining table but this is rarely used as all meals are usually taken on the terrace while enjoying the beautiful mountain views given that the wheather permits outdoors life almost all year round.
Access: It takes about an hour by car from Malaga airport or Granada to reach Almuñecar. When you arrive in Almuñecar, the caretaker will meet you at the gas station and accompany you the first time to the house.
