This light and airy 2 bed house has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. It has an a lovely balcony with beautiful mountain and distant sea views. The house is ideal for those seeking a get away in an authentic unspoilt spanish village with attractive white washed houses and narrow winding streets which cling to the hillside. The local area is ideal for walkers but has the advantage that it is only a 35 minute drive to the coast and 1 hour to Malaga.
The house itself is open plan downstairs with the lounge, dining area and kitchen all leading on from one another giving it a very light and airy feel. There are ceiling fans in all rooms and the house has original wooden shutters to keep out the heat of the day. For the cooler months there is a woodburning stove which runs 4 radiators upstairs to provide heat in the bathroom and bedrooms.

Upstairs the family bathroom is fitted with both shower and bath and there is a large king size bedroom and a singel. Downstairs there is a double sofa bed in the lounge which also has a pull out singel so the property can sleep up to 6 people if your all good friends.

Up a further floor at the top of the house there is a large balcony withh great views over the village, countryside and down to the coast. Ideal for relaxing and sunbathing.

The kitchen is made of oak units with natural granite work surfaces and has a gas hob with electric oven for cooking. There is also a Microwave and toaster. In the little cupboard under the stairs is a half size washing machine.
The hotwater is supplied via calor gas and is included in the price as is the electricity.
There is on street parking directly outside the house or if you prefer there is big free car park within 2 minutes walk as the road beyond the house is very narrow and not for the nervous driver.

There is parking in the street outside or there is usually plenty of parking on the road leading to the house which is a level 1 minute walk or the main village car park is 2 minutes walk away. The terrace has two sun loungers where you can catch some rays or just admire the view.

Bavaria Golf is 35 minutes drive away down the hill for those keen golfers and there is a large shopping mall at Torre Del Mar those who like retail therapy.

The location of the village means it is an ideal base for exploring the local area either on foot or by car. There are lots of unspoilt villages within half an hours drive. From the village itself you can either take a stroll or a trek into the mountains as the village is right on the edge of the National Park and the road in fact ends at the village. There are a number of local books detailing suggested walking routes or if you want a more formal tour there are companies providing guided walks in the Spring and the Autumn. There is also a Horse Treking stable within walking distance of the village.
A short drive to the coast and you can stroll along the promenades of Torre del Mar or Nerja within 40 minutes. If you want to explore the cities you can be in Malaga in an hour or Granada in two. Alicante takes arount 3 1/2 hours to drive or Gibralter is 2 1/2 and they all make a great day trip.
The village itself is still unspoilt and a reflection of the true spain. If you are lucky you will see the man with his goats giving them a drink from the spring near St Anna church or hear the clip clop of a mule being led down the street after his day working the land. My favourite thing is sitting on the roof terrace, nice glass of red in hand and watching the sun disappear behind the mountains whilst listening to the sounds of the village.
