It is to be found in the small village of La Joya. The holiday home is situated at the top of a hill, which adds the last ingredient for lovers of peace and tranquility. It is a relatively new home in which traditional materials like floors of natural stone, wooden beams and wrought iron is nicely combined with more modern elements. Especially the usage of natural stone and wood is typical for Andalusia. The holiday home has a charismatic character and is fully equipped for 4 persons. The holiday home has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds. The open kitchen is equipped with all necessities among which an oven, a blender, a dishwasher et cetera. There is heating through gasoil radiators. The holiday home has a spacious living room with fireplace. It is the ideal venue to enjoy a glass of the local wines during chilly evenings. Warmer night may be well spend outside on the terrace. During summer the evenings on the terrace will be refreshing. If you sit on the terrace during the afternoon you can enjoy a beautiful view over the Serrania de Ronda, the Sierra Nevada and the several villages of the Guadalhorce valley. Furthermore, you will see Malaga and its surrounding mountains like the Sierra Tejeda and the Sierra Almijara. Around the pool are deckchairs. Those among us that enjoy sunbathing will be happy to find out that almost whole Andalusia has about 300 sunny days a year. However, if you prefer to stay in the shade than this is well possible because of the oak trees. If you wish an extra cleaning during your stay, it´s posible for an extra charge of €30,- ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Ook voor a ruim huis met mooie verzorgde tuin en zwembad. Sleutel afhalen in het nabijgelegen hotel. Ook voor andere vragen kan je daar terecht. Een heel wijds uitzicht midden in de bergen, bij helder weer zie je de zee! Volledige privacy. Bakker in het dorpje op 2 km, supermarkt in Villanueva de la Conception of Antequera. Op 18km van Antequera waar de autosnelwegen zijn en vanwaar je vlot naar de culturele steden kan rijden. Mooie wandelingen in de buurt. We hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad, een echte aanrader!

Het was een tussendoor vakantie om het koude weer in België te ontvluchte Onze vakantie is geslaagd. Het was een tussendoor vakantie om het koude weer in België te ontvluchten. Niet tegenstaande we in de bergen verbleven viel het weer redelijk mee. Het zwembad hebben we echter niet kunnen gebruiken, daarvoor was het te koud. Het huisje zelf viel redelijk goed mee en als je niet op echte luxe gesteld bent. De rit naar het huisje was een avontuurlijke onderneming, een degelijke auto is aan te raden.
