This charming house has its own secluded swimming pool and is set on the edge of a small village, looking out across a sheltered valley planted with olives, almonds and vines, and crowned with the ruins of a Moorish castle. The village church has a tower adapted from the oldest minaret in Andalucia and a Mudejar ceiling plus recently discovered, rather worn, 18th century frescoes. The extensive terrace area is shaded by a vine-covered pergola, and the garden is full of fruit trees and flowers, including yuccas, jacarandas, bourgainvillea, aloes, oranges, lemons, grapefruit and a pomegranate. Inside, the large (40 sq. m.) sitting/dining room, has an informal family character, with antique furniture, an open fireplace and a library with hundreds of books: these include (normally found on the right-hand side of the shelves) a memoir called The Bottle Brush Tree, written by the owner and describing how he and his wife discovered Daimalos, plus a book of poems called Sketches from the Sierra Tejeda by John Fuller who was a frequent visitor. Please note that the house is situated on a steep hill; those who are less able may find access difficult. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,249 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90350000/90345700/90345618/82a5fe80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Independent, cared-for finca between the Andalusan mountains; enjoy the silence Salares - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=90345618&PinnedHotelID=90345618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65570000/65562000/65561948/c77106b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bungalow 2-4 persons, pool, AC, WIFI, sea view, sand beaches in Torre del Mar Arenas, Málaga - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=65561948&PinnedHotelID=65561948&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34060000/34056800/34056797/144382c9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique authentic finca with pool and wide views of the sea and mountains Carraspite - Sayalonga - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.8 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=34056797&PinnedHotelID=34056797&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18780000/18773000/18772998/0f2065c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Las Encinas on the Costa del Sol.
