Nestled in the mountains below the Sierra Tejeda Nature Reserve, is the picturesque Andalucian village of Canillas de Aceituno, 1hr from Malaga and 1hr30 from Granada airports. The villa is 5 mins.from the village, 20 mins from a big town, 25mins to the coast and roughly 1hr 30 to the magnificent Alhambra in Granada.
Things to do
For a restful holiday but close to the coast and tourist attractions, this is the place for you. You can wander around the hills, visit the ‘bat cave’, passing an old mill and pool, or swim also in fresh mountain water in the Sierra Tejeda Park.
Within 30 mins. you can visit awesome caves at Nerja, and find aqua park, horse riding, go-karting, golf, pedalos, jet-ski, wind-surf, scuba and restaurants galore.
A little further away visit the old town of Antequerra with castle and olive-oil museum, see 1000’s of flamingos in Fuente de las Piedras, watch and eat fresh trout at Rio Frio and bathe in hot springs at Alhama on your way to Granada, with its magnificent Alhambra Palace and skiing. Malaga (old town and newly opened Picasso Museum, Ronda, Seville, Cordoba, Marbella and Gibraltar are also all within reach.
Of course you can always go nowhere…in spring listen to hoopoo, frogs and nightingales, find wild flowers, smell the orange blossom; in summer swim in the pool, sunbathe, or sit in the shade of the carob tree, hear the goats and sheep, with their bells, as they meander across the hillsides and watch shooting stars by night.
The Villa
Our villa has 3 bedrooms (1 double, 2 twin), lounge, dining area, kitchen and bathroom.
It is simple and unpretentious, with high vaulted, beamed ceilings, pine doors windows and shutters. It is well equipped and simply furnished. There are terracotta terraces to the front and beside the private swimming pool, (the front one shaded by a traditional large carob tree) and a rear yard.
The dining area has a large extendable table and six chairs. You will find games, some toys, cassettes, CD’s and a CD/tape/radio, an information file and many books. We have elected to have no TV, for greater relaxation and sociability and there is no telephone.
There are two gas heaters and a fire but you will find the villa cold in bad weather if you are used to central heating.
The kitchen is well equipped with cooking and tableware, including electric kettle, toaster, sandwich maker, food processor and coffee maker. There is a gas hob, a combination convection/grill/microwave oven, a fridge/freezer, an iron and board, and all the necessary cleaning equipment.
The bathroom has bath and simple shower, loo, bidet and basin.
All bedrooms have large built-in pine wardrobes. There are duvets for winter. Outdoors, there are table and chairs, picnic and garden bench, parasol, and sun-loungers. A built-in BBQ is next to the pool.
