This precious wooden house is located 50 km from Malaga, near the Gaitanes Gorge and in a strategic position to walk the Caminito del Rey footpath. This is the perfect accommodation for a family holiday and for discovering the inland part of the province of Malaga. The house sleeps 7; it's provided with three bedrooms and one bathroom with a whirlpool shower, laid out on a single floor. Its peculiar style makes the property an extremely welcoming accommodation. The indoor area is decorated with light-colour wooden details and a rustic style that perfectly mixes with the house's most modern comforts. This way, you and your family will enjoy the holidays you deserve. Out of the three bedrooms, two are equipped with one double bed, and one features two twin beds. The double-height dining-living room is very luminous, thanks to the wide windows that let the light flood in. The kitchenette is fully equipped, and it's separated from the living space by a small wooden bar. The living room is provided with warm/cool air-con, whereas the bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans. All the rooms are furnished with oil radiators. The dining-living room opens onto the lovely garden, where a coquettish wooden pergola lets the whole family rejoice in their meals in the shadow. Besides, you will have a chill-out space at your disposal, ideal for relaxing accompanied by the breeze. The patio leads to the salt-water private pool, surrounded by sun loungers and parasols where you can rejoice in the sunny weather. In the garden, another dining table is provided, near a brick-built BBQ. A poolside toilet completes the outdoor facilities of the house.

Spiele zur Verfügung stellen (Karten, Darts , Poolspiele ...), Holzkohle, Waschpulver. Vorsicht vor der Vordertür, kein Außengriff, da die Tür gesichert ist. Vergessen Sie nicht, den Schlüssel draußen zu lassen, wenn Sie im Garten sind, oder lassen Sie die Küchentür offen. Wir wurden erwischt und stecken fest. Kein privater Parkplatz, aber es gibt mehr als genug Parkplätze vor. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihren Empfang, wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. ##### Isabelle T.
