Description: |
Restored Andalucian farmhouse with large private swimming pool in a stunning situation. Set in lovely unspoilt countryside between two tiny mountain hamlets. Very spacious, tastefully appointed and comfortably equipped. Breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding scenery, Lake Vinuela and, in the distance, the Mediterranean.
Guests can explore the 3 acres of grounds, with huge old olive and holm oak trees, lots of terraces at different levels, all with different views and comfortable outdoor seating, and mature gardens shaded with grapevines and scented climbers, jasmine, hibiscus and bougainvillea. Abundant wildflowers, butterflies and birdlife. Your own private paradise!
As well as the farmhouse there is a smaller cottage on the premises available for winter lets only. The cottage is completely separate and self contained, with its own entrance, driveway, gardens and terraces. We NEVER let the farmhouse and the cottage at the same time and the pool is always reserved for the sole use of clients of the farmhouse.
La Amapola is half an hour from the beach and only an hour from Malaga and Granada.
FURTHER DETAILS:-
Accommodation
The farmhouse has been tastefully renovated in traditional Andaluz style, with polished terracotta floors, exposed beams, handmade tiles and whitewashed walls. The interior is cool and airy even in high summer, thanks to the high ceilings with ceiling fans and the french doors leading out to the terraces and gardens.
The house offers every modern comfort and convenience. There is a fabulous kitchen-diner (55m2) complete with range style oven, huge chrome fridge and, for the keen cook, masses of cookbooks and specialist cookware. The 3 double bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable, 2 of them with king size beds and french doors leading to terraces. The 3rd bedroom has 2 double beds, one on a mezzanine platform, very popular with teenagers and young adults! The cosy living room has big squashy sofas, masses of cushions and an extensive library of films, books and music to cater for all tastes and ages.
Pool, Gardens & Terraces
The farmhouse and pool are set in 3 acres of private land, mainly olive and almond groves, with some fruit trees, including pomegranate, apricot and peach, a number of huge holm oaks and a well stocked herb garden. Guests can help themselves to fruit as well as lemongrass, mint, laurel and more. The kitchen and lounge lead out onto vine-shaded terraces, with comfortable outdoor seating and a large table for dining alfresco. Upstairs, the main bedroom has french doors leading out to a roof terrace with wonderful views. The downstairs bedroom opens onto a pretty enclosed courtyard with climbing roses, ivy and wisteria.
The pool measures 10 by 5m and runs from 1m deep at the shallow end to 2.4m at the deep end. There is a pool shower and a large terracotta tiled terrace around the pool, with 6 sun-beds and a large cane-shaded canopy. The pool features underwater lighting and the pool terraces can be floodlit at night, should you fancy a moonlight dip!
The pool and pool terraces are for the sole use of clients and are utterly private and undisturbed. For families with young children, access to the pool via the gated entrance can be closed off if required.
Activities
With its subtropical climate and gorgeous unspoilt scenery it is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor pursuits (tennis, horse-riding, hiking, mountain biking etc - all available 2kms away at the local Villa Turistica) or simply to get away from it all and enjoy the views, unspoilt natural surroundings and tranquility.
The white hilltop villages of the Axarquia, Granadas arabic quarter and the Alhambra Palace and the picturesque beaches of Nerja are just some of the nearby attractions. Other recommended day trips include Malagas Picasso museum and the wonderful tapas bars in the centro historico, the fabulous moorish architecture of Cordoba, the hot springs at Alhama de Granada, the lake at Beremejales and the gorgeous scenery at El Chorro Gorge. Seville, Ronda, Cordoba and Nerja are all also accessible for a pleasant day trip or a relaxing night away.
There are numerous local golf courses within half an hours drive on the coast. Skiing is available during the winter months at Granadas Sierra Nevada, an hour and a halfs drive.
Location
The house is not overlooked by any neighbours and is totally secluded and private, yet within easy reach of all local amenities. There is an excellent local restaurant about 3kms away, and a pretty hilltop bar in a beautiful location 4kms away, as well as some fabulous seafood restaurants on the coast half an hour away.
The nearest shops, banks, supermarkets, bars etc are at Periana 5kms away. A selection of delicious tapas and raciones are available at the local bars - ask for our recommendations.
The nearest beach is Torre del Mar at 25kms - about half an hours drive. This is a typical Spanish beach resort with sandy beach and beachside promenade with numerous ice-cream parlours, cafes and some wonderful seafood restaurants.
Nerja beach is 40kms away, about 45 minutes drive, a very pleasant and pretty resort with cliffside beaches and little sandy coves and beachside walks, plus interesting shops and some inviting bars and restaurants.
Travel
La Amapola is located 25kms inland between Malaga and Granada, only an hours drive from both and from Malaga airport. Both Malaga and Granada airports are easily accessible from Amapola. (Malaga 55kms and Granada 65kms). Budget airlines serving these airports include Easyjet, Ryanair, Monarch and BMIbaby. Iberia and British Airways also offer regular and frequent daily flights. Car hire is essential and there are numerous car hire companies, including Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Hellehollis and malagacarhire.com. We recommend shopping around for the best deal as prices often vary quite dramatically.
Visitors comments
Please take a moment to read some of the comments from our Visitors Book. We feel that the words of our clients speak for themselves!
"I’ve tried to capture some of the "La Amapola spirit" with my camera, although nothing beats the real thing. We hesitate between telling everyone we know about how wonderful your house is and keeping the secret to ourselves.... also, the child friendliness and safeness of the place! We are counting the days til we can come back next year." Anne Morant
"We are looking back on a wonderful holiday in your marvellous house. This was really the best place we ever stayed for holiday!" Guido Bakema
“We are enjoying our last evening on the terrace looking out over the mountains. It’s hard to choose which view to admire each evening – they are all lovely and there are so many comfortable, tranquil places to sit. This is a stunningly beautiful place and we have loved our stay here. We will definitely be back and will recommend it to our friends and family.”

The railway walk from here to Periana. The locals have been lovely – just smile and say hello!”

The Greens, UK
“Idle sunny days at the poolside with readings selected from the library, fresh produce from the local markets, indulging in a 3 course “menu del dia” at El Verdugo, drinking Cava, Moscatel, Rose and other Spanish elixirs. We are laden with enough olive oil hopefully to last until our next visit!
Thanks for another 2 weeks in paradise!”
