Vacation Rental Description
Cortijo Chile, a 200 year old farmhouse, is snugly set within the grounds of Villa Chile (together with an apartment), known affectionately by the Competanians as “The Old Lady of Competa”. Villa Chile is situated in its own grounds just outside Competa offering panoramic views of both The Med and the Axarquia mountain range behind Competa. It is only a 10 minute walk into Cómpeta's main square, the Plaza Almijara, just a 60 minute car journey from Malaga and 20 minutes down to the coast and its multitude of fine beaches.
The cortijo, which is one of the oldest farmhouses in Competa has been recently renovated but retains many of its original features including its fireplace, alcoves, beamed ceilings, tiled floors, a large terrace and a small private garden (both for use of Cortijo Chile only) with an almond tree providing a shady retreat on hot days.There is ample car parking and the grounds offer tranquillity and seclusion.
The cortejo is all on one level and comprises 2 bedrooms (one with double bed and one with twin beds) a fully equipped kitchen, modern bathroom with bath, sitting/dining room. Double doors from the sitting room and twin bedded room lead onto the terrace
There is a large swimming pool, shared with the owners and apartment guests, which provides breathtaking views over Competa and the mountains beyond.
Please note we also offer for rental at Villa Chile a 2 Bedroom 1st Floor Apartment seperately advertised Ref: 42875
This makes Villa Chile the ideal choice for 2 families wanting to enjoy each other's company but residing in 2 very different style of property.We have found this spread of accomodation very popular
The cortejo offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of every day life and is a great place to unwind after walking in the hills, a round of golf, day trips to such places as the Nerja Caves or Granada, or spending the day on one of the many fine beaches. The barbecue in the evening is always popular and whilst your food is cooking enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down!
Nestling in the Axarquia foothills, Cómpeta,with its Moorish roots and its abundance of white washed houses tumbling down the hillside, surrounded by almond and olive groves together with many small vineyards has something very special to offer. A Moorish settlement in origin, Cómpeta, now famous for its sweet wine, gives you a taste of the old Spain'. Competanians are naturally hospitable and kind people who make a special effort to ensure your stay is a memorable one. Providing a mix of different restaurants, cafes, bars and shops Cómpeta is an ideal holiday destination.

Owner Location Comment
Competa is just 14 kilometers inland providing a mountain retreat with its peace and quiet as well as being only a 25 minute drive to the coast and any number of beaches to choose from making the location truly flexible.This allows you to enjoy the diversity of the wonderful countryside on offer together with the hustle and bustle of coastal resorts.The subtle change in the cooking,the variations in the weather patterns and the opputunity to double the sort of activities you might like to experience from scuba diving,horse riding,motor bike mountain rides to the more tranquil pursuits of painting and rambling makes Competa and Villa Chile "must" as a holiday spot for you
