This little cottage has its own pool. Designed
and built with holidays in mind, it is simple but neat, clean and comfortable.
Best of all, perhaps, is its location. Accessed down a short track, it is unseen
from the country road which winds between the market town of Colmenar and little
Solano. Situated among hillsides of olive and almond groves, overlooking a valley
dotted with white villages, the views extend across to the Tejeda mountain range
and the Sierra Nevada beyond as well as to the coast of the Mediterranean. It
is a spectacular scene, whatever the time of year.
Although the owners live at the end of the track that takes you to the cottage,
and there is one other holiday home also on this track, the sense of privacy is
still great. It is a delightful spot to sit and relax, contemplating the fantastic
views which spread out all around.
Parking is alongside the cottage. Inside,
the open-plan living / dining / kitchen area is a pleasant space. A twin bedroom
with big windows and a double with french doors leading out to the pool terrace, and a bathroom complete the distribution. Outdoor facilitirs include sun loungers, a barbecue and garden furniture, complimenting the pretty, egg-shaped
pool. It is all very welcoming.
Málaga
(and its airport) is just three quarters of an hour away and many other coastal
resorts with their marinas, restaurants and exclusive golf clubs are within easy
reach.
The cottage is also ideally situated to explore many of Andalucia's
great historic and cultural centres, including Ronda, Granada and Córdoba. Locally,
outdoor activities include birdwatching (especially in spring), cycling, horseriding
and walking in the beautiful Montes de Málaga pine forests and in the Torcal National
Park.
