Your Accommodation at Finca Los Caballos
An immaculate, self-contained apartment suite adjoining a traditional Spanish Finca, complete with a swimming pool, sun terrace, traditional Spanish courtyard and private patio.
The suite consists of two double bedrooms with King-size double Danish beds, large wardrobes, a shared bathroom and fully functional kitchenette. The accommodation sleeps four people or - if there are just two guests - the second bedroom can be converted into a lounge / dining room, essential for the cooler winter months. The photos show both options.
The property is set in 13,000 metres of stunning countryside just a short walk from the white-washed village of Guaro in the heart of Andalucia. It’s the perfect location for total peace and tranquillity for a relaxing holiday around the pool.
Owners Karen and George live in the adjoining Finca with their four dogs Marnie, Nipper, Max and Ollie and are there to provide help and assistance if needed.
Guest Benefits
Guests have use of the pool and pool terrace during the day and for the evenings have a private patio with your own BBQ for al fresco dining. It’s the most perfect way to enjoy the warm summer evenings under the amazing night sky.
For guests staying longer than a week, towels and bed linen will be changed at the end of each week. Guests are asked to bring their own beach towels, but parasols and sun loungers for the beach can be provided.
A complimentary welcome pack will be provided upon arrival and you can purchase a range of essential food and drink items from Karen and George.
Finca Los Caballos is not suitable for children under the age of 10.
Guaro Village
Guaro is a very traditional Spanish white village and is a 15 minute walk (uphill) from the property. In Guaro you will find a selection of bars offering breakfast, coffee, traditional Spanish cuisine, tapas or even pizza.
The BBQ bar is great for large pieces of fresh meat and the most delicious prawns at really inexpensive prices. There are two banks, a chemist, butcher, bakers and a few small supermarkets selling all you could need.
In September, the village plays host to the incredible Moorish festival of Luna Mora, where the entire village is lit by candlelight – it really is a sight to behold. Come and stay with us and enjoy the ambience as well as the finest food and drinks and a multitude of artisan stalls and shops selling unique jewellery, clothing and traditional artefacts.
The Surrounding Area
Whatever your interests, you will find something to suit you in the surrounding towns and villages.
For those without a car, there are buses from Guaro taking you to:
Alhaurin El Grande, a Moorish town full of shops, bars and restaurants.
Coin, a working Spanish town, (it is 20 mins by car has a great selection of restaurants and large supermarkets)
Mijas, an old white-washed village perched on a hillside, is a great day out with many shops, a traditional bullring and much more....
The villages of Monda, Ojen and Tolox are all close by where you can catch a glimpse of the real Spain and the traditional Spanish way of life.
For beach lovers, the popular seaside resort of Fuengirola is 30 minutes away with all the facilities you could ask for including shopping centres, bars and restaurants, a water park and a cinema showing English films. The fashionable beach resort of Marbella is also close by where you must visit the stunning Old Town filled with boutique shops and fragrant, flower-filled squares.
For art and culture lovers, Malaga provides some stunning tourist attractions including the Picasso Museum, the Cervantes Theatre and a magnificent Cathedral. If you want to travel further there are regular buses and trains from Malaga to Granada, Seville and even Madrid.
Things To Do
If you just want to relax and get away from it all then you can simply chill-out and enjoy the weather in the secluded and private garden, do a little bird watching, go horse riding or venture out for a country walk. There are walking routes to Monda (7.5) Kms, Tolox 15Kms and Puerto Alto (6.2) Kms all from the end of the drive.

The beautiful cities of Sevilla and Granada both are just 2 hours away or in winter you can ski in the Sierra Nevada resort.
An hour’s drive will take you to Ronda and its famous Gorge, which leads you to the gateway to the Pueblos Blancos. Or visit El Chorro and swim in the Ardales Lakes.
Gibraltar is accessible within an hour and half and if you drive a little bit further you’ll discover the unspoilt beaches of Tarifa and the Costa de la Luz.
