Property Details of Andalucia Farmhouse

Restored Andalucian Farmhouse with Large Private Pool and Breathtaking Views to Lake and Sea
Exceptionally Spacious, Stylishly Appointed and Comfortably Equipped
Sleeps 6 (3 double Bedrooms) plus baby/child.
The farmhouse is very spacious, decorated in traditional Moorish-Andalucian style and equipped with every modern convenience, luxurious bedrooms, library, TV, DVD, stereo and masses of films and CDS plus outdoor barbecue and seating for dining alfresco. There are lots of places to relax in sun or shade, read a book, sip a chilled drink and get away from it all. The pool is huge and stunningly situated in an elevated position and, should you fancy a moonlight dip, features underwater lighting! The setting is really beautiful, with 3 acres of gently sloping land dotted with huge olive trees and criss-crossed with little stone paths leading to pretty vine shaded sun terraces and mature gardens with jasmine, hibiscus and bougainvillea. Breathtaking panoramic views of gorgeous unspoilt countryside, Lake Vinuela and the Mediterranean. Your own private paradise! Abundant wildflowers, butterflies and birdlife, no traffic, yet only 30 mins from beaches and an hour from Malaga/Granada.

Stroll through the olive grove, up a flight of steps cut out of the hillside, to the large pool (10x5m) and viewing terrace set above it. From here the views are truly breathtaking, sweeping down to the lake and sea, with the mountains as a dramatic backdrop. Pool facilities include a shower, 6 sun-beds and a cane-shaded canopy. Guests can relax in the shade of an enormous old olive tree whilst admiring the spectacular views, dine alfresco on the wide terracotta terrace that stretches the length of the house, or sprawl on a hammock under the vines or in the shady enclosed courtyard. The gardens are colourful and fragrant, with bougainvillea, jasmine and oleander. For children (and adults!), the grounds are a treasure trove of natural splendour, with birds, butterflies and even, on one occasion, a wild tortoise! There is unlimited space for children to run about and virtually no traffic passing by, apart from the occasional horse-rider or herd of mountain goats.

Local Area Details

La Amapola is located 25kms inland between Malaga and Granada only an hours drive from both. The nearest village is Periana and the nearest town Velez Malaga. Seville, Ronda, Cordoba and Nerja are all accessible for a pleasant day trip or a relaxing night away. With its subtropical climate and gorgeous unspoilt scenery the local area is ideal for outdoor pursuits including hillwalking, birdwatching and swimming. Horseriding tennis and mountain bike hire are all available at the nearby Villa Turistica de la Axarquia 10 minutes away on foot. There are numerous golf courses within half an hours drive on the coast and skiing in winter at the Sierra Nevada. 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, a further 15kms, is a very pretty and pleasant resort with cliffside beaches and little sandy coves and beachside walks plus interesting shops and some inviting bars and restaurants. Recommended day trips include Granadas Arabic quarter and the Alhambra Palace, Malaga's Picasso museum and the wonderful tapas bars in the centro historico, the fabulous Moorish architecture of Seville and Cordoba, the beautiful scenery at El Chorro Gorge and the hot springs lakes and dramatic ravine at Alhama de Granada. Andalucia is famous for its lively nightlife and colourful fiestas, carnival in February, Semana Santa in March or April and in Periana the annual peach fiesta, the olive oil fiesta and the feria of San Isidro during the summer months. Neighbouring Alcaucin holds a small but prestigious flamenco festival in August
