Refurbished holiday apartments with large terrace and panoramic view of the lake
Our beautiful rural farmhouse has been reformed and offers you a wonderful break in one of the most peaceful and unique areas in Andalucia next to the lake “Embalse de Guadalhorce” only 45 mins. from Málaga airport. Here you can enjoy the silence or challenge your body in the amazing surroundings. A true paradise for people who enjoy active life.
El Arpa offers holiday apartments for 2 persons in a green area on a 50.000 sqm plot going down to the lake. Here you can enjoy life no matter if you choose to relax in the beautiful surroundings under the southern sun enjoying the peace - or if you prefer to use one of the many activity options that nature offers you and which is just outside the doors of the holiday apartments.
An incredible possibility to experience a unique holiday break in one of the most beautiful areas in the Malaga region.
Come and experience the real Spain, breathing the clear and fresh air in the finest natural surroundings close to delightful small white villages, where time has been standing still for decades and the 'mañana' culture still is ongoing. Friendly people with no stress but still live life to the full.

Alles sehr auffällig sauber und mit Liebe zum Detail hergerichtet. Die Gastgeber haben sich sehr bemüht und haben immer nachgefragt, ob man noch was braucht. Schöne Finca zum erholen aber sehr abseits in der Natur gelegen.
We loved our stay at El Arpa. Enjoyed sitting outside every evening and watching the sunset over the reservoir. Gorgeous property with easy access to El Caminito del Rey.

prachtige locatie
Wij hebben een fantastische week doorgebracht op El Arpa. Wat een prachtige omgeving. Je kan hier heerlijk wandelen( ook voor de niet gevorderde wandelaars). In de omgeving zijn veel activiteiten te doen en mooie steden als Sevilla, Granada en Ronda zijn vanuit hier makkelijk te bereiken. De gastvrouw en gastheer zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. 1 minpuntje van onze studio, bij slecht weer (regen) is er geen ruimte om binnen te zitten behalve op het bed of aan de eetbar.
Prima keuken, badkamer en bed.

L'endroit idéal pour sillonner la région
Cet endroit est un vrai ravissement, en pleine nature ;
et pour rayonner en Andalousie, c'est parfait.
Les propriétaires sont charmants, l'accueil est parfait, ne changez rien
(la date de notre arrivée était en fait en 2012 mais çà ne marche pas le tableau)

. Nous avons recommandé ce lieu de villiègature à un couple d'amis qui en sont revenus enchantés
