About the home

Welcome to real Spain. The house is situated in the historic heart of old Almunecar. Overall 2 years were spent converting it into a family home built with a great deal of love, care and attention. It is very large (200 sq metres) and very airy (the kitchen and open plan dining area alone is 50 sq metres). It is by far one of the, if not the largest house in the old town, and the terrace has stunning views of the old castle, sea, botanical gardens, old town and the mountains beyond. Everything is within walking distance, the municipal market for fresh produce, the local beaches, bars and restaurants. Once there you never have to use a car again! It has a very Spanish and rustic feel yet with contemporary design and facilities, (UK TV and iPod dock). It is truly a labour of love......For those wanting real Spain.....this is it....

The Costa Tropical region

Nerja is just 15 mins away with its amazing caves, stunning scenery and, for those who love a bargain, a large car boot sale every Sunday morning. The beautiful historic city of Granada with the famous Alhambra Palace is only 45 mins away, well worth a visit. Granada has great shops.

The Alpujarras, (Lanjaron, Orgiva) a series of mountain villages, it seems time has stopped here, also great for walks. The national parks of Sierra Nevadas, Peña Escrita, Cerro Gordo and Lecrin Valley are all close by. The Sierra Nevada, Europe's most southerly ski resort Sol y Nieve in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is 60 minutes drive from Almunecar. For many months of the year you can ski and swim in the Med on the same day. With easy parking and lots of restaurants it is a good day out for all the family even if you don't ski.

The Almunecar area

Have you ever wanted to experience "the real Spain"? The house is situated in the heart of Almunecar's historic old town. Almunecar is a working Spanish town and in the high season only attracts Spanish tourists. The old town is where the locals live adding a flavour and vibrancy which is not available in purpose built areas. The house was completely re-designed and is the largest and has the most unusual interior of the whole area. If you are looking for Spain then here it is!

Almunecar is a beautiful old working Spanish town. Every bar offers free tapas in the true Granada style. A 2 minute walk from the house you will find La Coralla where the locals drink which has the best tapas in the whole area and live flamenco on a Wednesday and Friday nights. The local municipal market (which is a joy to behold) is a five minute walk along with all other amenities, restaurants and the beach. Once at the house you will only ever need a car to leave Almunecar.

“A really great getaway” This is a very charming house in the old town near to the castle and It's the second time I have stayed here. This time we were a party of 8 and I must say that we were all very comfortable, not cramped at all. The property has plenty of hot water, two bathrooms and plenty of space so we didn't feel on top of each other. Our kids loved playing football with the local children and there was plenty for everyone to do as the beach is only 10 minutes walk. The mountains are only about an hours drive, so we took a trip there too. The house is within walking distance of lots of good restaurants and bars. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole property is very clean and well presented. I would definitely stay here again and would strongly recommend it to families.

“Great house in the lovely old town centre of Almuñecar” We stayed in the house for two weeks, with four people: one couple and two single friends, which means we had a room to spare. The double bedroom below is separated from the other three bedrooms by floor with living room and kitchen, so that has a lot of privacy, The house is large and airy and only a short, though steep walk, from the beach and the restaurants. The old town of Almuñecar is situated on a steep hill, so it might be difficult to access for elderly people. The old town is inhabited by a mix of foreigners and locals, which gives it a wonderful atmosphere: the people are all very friendly and open. Probably the best feature of the house is the roof terrace which is perfect for having a barbecue with a stunning view of the town.

“great spot for exploring the costa tropical” The house is brilliantly situated in the heart of the old town. We were met very efficiently on the edge of town on arrival and shown where to park etc. The house is bright and airy and very comfortable. We ate in some nights and the kitchen provided everything we needed and it was magical sitting out on the roof terrace as the sun went down. Beds, linen all very clean and for a man with a bad back a great mattress. Great shower on ground floor. Town is very genuine, mainly Spanish, great market, and ham shop 5 mins away. We ate out in some great local restaurants. The beach is 5 mins walk. In late September the town was very uncrowded. Great base for trips to Granada and Las Alpujarras both of which come highly recommended. Very easy drive from Malaga airport. We stayed during a local fiesta which added lots of atmosphere, fireworks, dancing and good spirits, otherwise its a peaceful and magical spot. And the locally grown Mango is the best I have ever tasted
