Villa Description
Perched high on its ridge between Competa and Torrox is this lovely holiday home. Along the short drive (5Km) up from the coast the road takes you through hills covered in grapevines, fig and almonds. The windy road is well worth it once you arrive at this perfect home from home…
Once an avocado farm, it has been tastefully converted into a three bedroom holiday home – The location is ideal for anyone wanting peace and quiet, nature and sunshine, just a drive away from bars, restaurants, shops, tapas, Costa del Sol life and the many beautiful beaches it has to offer.
Set in 2 acres of grounds, and then enclosed by a surrounding wall, the other properties dotted around the hillsides are not close enough to intrude on your privacy.
Parking in the gravel parking area, with enough space for 6 cars, access to the property is through large double doors into this enclosed hilltop heaven….you will immediately start to unwind. The views are spectacular, looking out over two valleys, the surrounding hills, across the Mediterranean and beyond to the mountains of Morocco – The sunsets are out of this world!
South facing and built all on one level, the design is neat and uncomplicated, making for a light and relaxed atmosphere inside and out – this is a simple yet special place..
The open plan kitchen is small, compact but cleverly designed and well enough equipped for you to whip up some delightful meals…but please note it does not have an oven.
Continuing to the living room, a spacious, light room decorated in whites and reds with fabulous views across the pool and countryside below. Two large white sofas and comfy armchairs make this a perfect place to gather in the cooler evenings by the glass fronted wood stove for a movie, game of cards or just to enjoy the evening calm.
The left “wing” of the house contains the three bedrooms and one of the bathrooms:
The main, double bedroom, is west facing looking out over the entrance to the house and the mountains beyond. This room is simply and tastefully decorated in keeping with the Andalucian theme throughout.
The other two bedrooms are one double and one twin bedded, ceilings and walls are white, floors are laid with terracotta tiles - both equally nice, the Andalucian theme continues, with good quality local, traditional furnishings.
A full bathroom with shower and full bath completes the distribution of this side of the house.
There is a second smaller bathroom with shower only, accessed from the living room, this bathroom is also home to the washing machine.
The interior is lovely, but most of your time will be spent outside. Dips in the pool, meals on the covered outside dining area, dozing on one of the various terraces, you can choose sun or shade depending on your mood… Or above it all, up on the roof-top sundeck – The perfect spot to watch the sun set and linger long into the starry night. Whichever you choose you will find comfort, relaxation and beautiful views.
There are several different seating areas to choose from, each of them lovely, both on the terrace surrounds and in the gardens and grounds. All are perfect for unwinding and enjoying the beautiful views.
And there's more! The owners have created a wonderful herb garden and there is also a wide variety of fruit trees you are welcome to pick from.
"A great base for exploring Andalucia and for accessing the smaller white villages of Competa, Archez, Frigiliana and also down to Nerja."
