About this property

Large Andalucian Farmhouse, stunning views, pool & gardens,close to Natural Park

This impressive Andalucian farmhouse, located in an elevated position, amongst olive and almond groves, has the most stunning views. Overlooking the valley, across white-washed villages, the scenery stretches across to the Tejeda mountain range. The farmhouse has been a family home for many years and in the process, has been lovingly restored yet has retained many of its original features. The rooms all have the traditional beamed ceilings, many with terracotta floor tiles, open fire places/wood burning stoves, decorative wrought iron lights and beautiful wooden doors. 'Modern' and 'comfort' have been sympathetically introduced and the farmhouse is furnished in an ecclectic fashion including antiques along with modern necessities. The large farmhouse kitchen is the core of the house, along with plenty of rooms to relax, watch tv and read. The bedrooms are all prepared with fresh linen and towels, are spacious and airy and again all have spectacular views. The outside of the property is a delight and is an important part of a normal holiday enjoying the pool, gardens and views. The mature gardens with mediterranenan trees, flowers and shrubs is a beautiful feature of the property. There is an outside kitchen with fridge, oven and hob close to the small courtyard area finished in local stone which is cool and shaded. There is also a large gas BBQ. The terraces are extensive, the main one surrounding the pool and has sun beds..Here there is also a gazebo with shaded dining/seating area and also plenty of room for the table tennis table. The other side of the house also has another large enclosed and secure patio ideal for younger children. It has Moorish arches, plenty of shade, seating areas and panoramic views.
The private drive to the property is shared by another private property which is located in the grounds of the farmhouse also with its own private pool and gardens.
Colmenar is the nearest local village approx 4 kms and has good tapas bars, restaurants, local shops, weekly fruit and veg market, banks, butchers, bakeries, chemist, 24 hour medical centre etc.
Our farmhouse is an ideal location if you also intend to explore this beautiful area. The main dual carriageway heading inland or to the coast is only 10 kms away. Historic Granada has the famous Alhambra Palace, Malaga has its Gibalfaro castle, Cathederal, new Muelle Uno marina with great shops and restaurants and the old town has traditional tapas bars. Also a huge selection of restaurants from simple to 1 Michelin Star, Picasso Museum, small boutiques etc. Cosmopolitan Marbella with its beaches and Orange Square, Nerja with its famous Balcon de Europa, Burriana Beach, Ronda with its bullring and gorge, Cordoba with its ancient Mezquita to name but a few. Lots of other beaches and shopping centres are all an easy trip and the airport is approx 30 mins.

Avispas, a granel.
Siento tener que decir que, las avispas arruinaron nuestra estancia. La piscina se llenaba de ellas haciendo imposible baƱarse sin arriesgarse a un aguijonazo. El segundo dĆ­a tuvimos que ir a urgencias con mi madre por dos picaduras de este insecto que le produjeron una hinchazĆ³n horrible. AdemĆ”s, las avispas entraban en las habitaciones por agujeros que tienen los mosquiteros y no digo una avispa, la cantidad era exagerada. Comentamos el problema con la propietaria que quedĆ³ en hablar con quien mantiene la propiedad para poner un producto que las ahuyenta pero, nunca se hizo, por lo que solo podĆ­amos baƱarnos a partir de las seis de la tarde, hora en la que las avispas se iban yendo. Por otro lado, el acceso es de tierra, con pendiente pronunciada y curvas muy cerradas... los coches derrapaban. La zona en la que se encuentra la cama elĆ”stica ("zona de juegos') estĆ” llena de trastos (electrodomĆ©sticos viejos, herramientas de trabajo en el campo, vasijas, etc.) esparcidos por allĆ­, incluso bajo la cama elĆ”stica, con el riesgo que supone si vas con niƱos. La casa, hay que decir, estĆ” bien equipada y las camas no estĆ”n mal, aunque todo estĆ” mĆ”s deteriorado de cĆ³mo aparece en las fotografĆ­as. La zona del patio de acceso a la casa, al igual que la zona de la piscina, estaba llena de hojas secas y restos de confeti de alguna fiesta que, nosotros mismos, limpiamos. En definitiva, no es el lugar para relajarse que esperĆ”bamos y, para colmo, el dĆ­a antes de nuestra salida, mi hijo de 11 aƱos tambiĆ©n se llevĆ³ un picotazo de avispa, por lo que recomiendo llevar vinagre :( Eso sĆ­, salvo caso de ola de calor, la casa es fresca, no hace falta aire acondicionado.

Wonderful stay in a stunning property
We had a wonderful week in this large property with stunning views over the andalusian countryside, only 10 minutes away from the pretty village of Colmenar. How marvelous to sit by the pool and watch the awesome scenery! Inside, the house is full of charming little sitting areas with lots of character in addition to the main sitting room. One week is not enough time to use them all as well as all the outside sitting areas. Angela is a very attentive host that will do everything in her power to make your stay more agreable. From there we went visiting all the main town like Granada, Cordoba, Malaga and Ronda. Plus Comares, closer at hand. We kept Seville for the beginning and end of our stay as it is further away and that was the town of arrival and departure in Spain. We would have loved to stay longer, this was such a lovely place. Thank you Angela.

Ruhiges Haus im Hinterland mit tollem Blick
Die Lage des Hauses und der Blick von der Terasse sind atemberaubend. Hier haben wir uns die meiste Zeit aufgehalten, das Haus wurde fast nur zum Schlafen benutzt. Es gibt einen gut funktionierenden Gasgrill fĆ¼r hƤufige Grillabende. Das Haus ist alt und sehr verwinkelt , sehr charmant. Ich kƶnnte auch nach 10 Tagen den Grundriss kaum aufzeichnen... Es gibt ein groƟes schƶnes DZ mit eigenem Bad im OG, die anderen Zimmer sind einfacher ausgestattet. Viele SchrƤnke, die Tischtennisplatte etc. sind etwas kaputt und wackelig, aber uns war das nicht wichtig. Ich hatte erst Sorge, daƟ der Pool zu flach ist, aber zum baden waren uns die 120 cm auch fĆ¼r Erwachsene vƶllig ausreichend. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder, dabei blieb ein Schlafzimmer sogar Ć¼brig. Die Kinder haben den Pool und das Trampolin geliebt. Wenn man zum Meer will, muss man schon ca 45 min fahren. Die nƤchsten erreichbaren StrƤnde sind in Malaga (Ć¼ber Autobahn erreichbar). Falls jemand die Lage sucht: 36Ā°52'52.0"N 4Ā°17'39.7"W Die StraƟe zum Haus ist wirklich steil, aber das sind viele StraƟen, die wir in Andalusien gefahren sind. Man sollte besser von Colmenar aus (aus Nordwest) kommend hinabfahren, nicht aus Richtung Comares (SĆ¼dost), da es sonst beim Abbiegen initial zu steil ist, und man Gefahr lƤuft aufzusetzen. Die Vermieterin Angela ist sehr herzlich und sehr unkompliziert. Es gab ein kleines BegrĆ¼ĆŸungspaket mit Wein und Essen auf dem KĆ¼chentisch. Vielen Dank! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĆ¼hlt und kƶnnen das Haus wirklich empfehlen!

Colmenar Tranquility
If you want the hustle and bustle of the big city, this is not the place for you. If you are looking to get a taste of rural Spain, then this might just be your oasis. The farmhouse is large and can accommodate a big group. There are multiple areas both indoor and outdoor to congregate. The views from the patio are beautiful at all hours of the day or night. The outside propane grill was a big plus for us. When we ate at the farmhouse, we cooked on the grill and ate at the outdoor dining area. There is a small pool for cooling off and many lounge chairs for relaxing and sunbathing. Our biggest problem was finding the farmhouse upon arriving in Colmenar. The location is 5-10 minutes from the village of Colmenar up the winding and narrow road to Solano (just a side note: if you are unfamiliar with Spain, all the roads in the villages and rural areas are narrow). You will be about an hours drive to Malaga and a little more than an hours drive to the the beaches at Torre Del Mar and Nerja. If you like to sleep in, be forewarned that there are roosters on and about the property. They will let you know when dawn is breaking. All in all, we had a very relaxing stay in Colmenar.

Het huis ligt op 45 minuten vanaf Malaga. Het is ruim en heeft een fraai uitzicht. Het is echter wel aan een flinke op knap beurt toe. Keuken en badkamer zijn gedateerd. Stijle zandweg naar de woning toe.

House was nice, but attached to another property and has a small pool
The positives - the house is nice, has a charming rustic feel, aircon in most bedrooms, in a nice location with good views and Angela was welcoming and helpful when we needed to find a doctor (ear infection). The negatives - the pool is around 4m by 7m, and around 1m deep which was a disappointment for us; we were also surprised to find we couldn't use the patio with the best view as its the roof of the attached properties kitchen; the wifi is out of range from the pool area as the walls of the villa are so think; the access road is not for the faint-hearted and there were a lot of wasps (but Angela organised someone to come and spray towards the end of the week). Overall we still enjoyed our week there, but I felt the price and description of the villa were out of keeping with what we found

Mooi huis op een prachtige plek
We hebben erg genoten van het huis. Mooie authentieke sfeer, een enkele tegel lag los, niet te lang douchen en sommige deuren sloten slecht, maar de totaalindruk was prima (gezin met 3 volwassen kinderen). Angela was een fijne gastvrouw. We denken er over nog eens terug te komen (en dat wil wat zeggen voor onze begrippen)

Stunning views, peaceful and relaxing.
We had a lovely stay here and enjoyed the extra things for the children like the trampoline, tree house, slide, chickens and ping pong table. There was so much space that it was very comfortable for us with four children. The house was very clean and well looked after. The track leading down to the house is not ideal as it is very bumpy and steep but the surroundings made up for it. Would highly recommend and we hope to come back in the near future.

Blissful!
We have just returned from 10 days at this beautiful farmhouse feeling relaxed and refreshed. No one wanted to go home - what a find! We love Andalucia and have visited many times but this has been our favourite place to stay by far! The perfect mix of exploring and relaxing, table tennis and the trampoline were a real hit and the barbecue was fired up most nights as we ate outside admiring the fabulous views. The local village provided ample choice of food and great wine for self catering which meant we ate in every night - it was too good not to! The house itself was large and rambling which provided plenty of space for us all and the reviews are right - very comfy beds. We all loved it! Angela was the perfect hostess - just there when you needed her. Thank you so much for such a lovely holiday.

Fab for families
This is the second time we have stayed at this glorious farmhouse as a family. The children have plenty of things to keep them occupied, chickens, walks, trampoline, tree house, table tennis along with the requisite pool and sunshine! A real home from home and extremely comfortable and a bonus , good quality cotton sheets! I really am transfixed with the views each time we have stayed and the gorgeous countryside. Although located in the countryside, waving to the goat herder each evening and watching the sunrise over the mountains, the village is not too far away. It also has an excellent bakery and butchers along with the normal small supermarkets. A great help was the info. book which gave us new ideas which we would not normally have known about. The Wolf Park near Antequera and the new Marina at Malaga are well recommended and roof top cocktails!...Thank you Angela, a great idea for my sons birthday. Angela was very helpful which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will be booking again next year , probably September this time. Muchas Gracias

An amazing house with fabulous views
We had 7 days of bliss. The house is homely, tastefully furnished with ample space. The house excessed our expectations. With five adults, 3 children and 1 infant their is plenty to do and fun to be had. The kids loved the pool and playing table tennis for hours plus adventuring amongst the olive trees. An excellent and handy location with stunning views. We had the best time and Angela our host was friendly and helpful. Thank you Angela for letting your beautiful farm house to us, we truly had a wonderful Spanish holiday.
