Holiday villa for rent in Competa

The house is situated in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara just off the mountain road which leads from Torrox to Competa, an enchanting Andalusian “pueblo blanco” 2000’ above sea level. It is 3kms from Competa and 15kms from the Mediterranean (25 minutes drive). The quiet mountain road which leads to the house is known as the “Ruta del Vino” and is a circular route of natural beauty which joins the villages of Torrox, Competa, Sayalonga and Algarrobo to the coast road. There are vines and raisin beds all along it as well as almond, olive and avocado trees scattered over the hillsides.

The house sits on half an acre of hillside facing south east and has marvellous views of the surrounding countryside and distant views of the sea.
The natural park boundary lies just a few hundred metres away and the house is an ideal base for walkers and naturalists.

The house is ideal for those who want a quiet and relaxing place to stay and are happier with the simpler lifestyle. It is perfect for two to four people.

Bedrooms
There are two bedrooms each with a fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers. The double bedroom faces east and gets the early morning sun. The twin bedded room faces north and is shady and cool.

Living room
The spacious living room has double wooden doors leading to the terrace and has an open fireplace, dark wood dining table and six chairs and a sofa bed.

Kitchen
Divided from the living room by a tiled breakfast bar is the kitchen with double sink, cooker, fridge / freezer, toaster and water heater.

Bathroom
The bathroom is fully tiled and has a bath (short) with shower attachment, bidet, hand basin and lavatory.

Terrace
The large arched terrace looks south / south east towards the sea and has beautiful views.

General
The house is simple and beautiful. The floors are laid with terracotta tiles and there are dark wooden beams on the high ceilings. There is no television. There are books, games and a radio / CD player. There are binoculars and books on birdwatching and the night sky.

Transport
The house is just off a good, if winding, mountain road. There is a short rough track to drive down to reach the parking space beside the house. A smaller car is easier to manoeuvre on the tracks and on the mountain roads. There is some public transport to Competa (buses twice a day to and from Malaga) and there are taxis available from Competa and Torrox. However a car would be desirable to fully enjoy the surrounding area. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to Competa.
