About the home

Despite a recent high spec modernization, Finca Alcubilla retains many of its traditional farmhouse charms.
Although off the beaten track, it is only a 5 min drive to the village of Alora and 45mins from the city of Malaga or the beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol.
The finca is made up of three individual parts.
1 Main house has 3 double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a large lounge /dinning room and a kitchen
2 A separate two bedroom flat (1 double, 1 single bedroom) with shower room and open plan kitchen/lounge
/dinning room.
3 Two double en-suite bedrooms off our central courtyard, ideal for guests with mobility problems.
There are two patio areas with tables and chairs and a courtyard allowing plenty of opportunities for dinning al
fresco.

* On site facilities include a salt water swimming pool, a sauna, a rowing and running machine, an outside
kitchen with BBQ, There is sat TV in many of the bedrooms as well as the lounges and WI-fi access is available
There is a washing machine and tumble dryer which can be used at no extra cost.
* The on site owner was a qualified general nurse in England and is a qualified masseuse who is available to
assist with nursing care of an elderly guest or to tailor a massage to your specific needs.

THE PROPERTY BORDERS AN UNFENCED RIVER BED THEREFORE, FOR SAFETY REASONS IS UNSUITABLE FOR UNDER 13YR. OLDS!!!

Facilities

Further details indoors:
*There is a dish washer in the main house and also one in the outside kitchen ( by the swimming pool)
Both the flat and the main house have log burners.
NO HIDDEN EXTRAS - A/c heating ,Wi-fi and use of laundry facilities included in the price. Logs supplied for the wood-burners at no extra cost
All the bedrooms (except for the single room in the flat) have individual safes

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY 15/16 PEOPLE (BY USING BOTH SOFA BEDS)

Further details outdoors:
The swimming pool, exercise, massage and leisure area and outside kitchen is a two minute walk from the main Finca. Set amid fig, olive and citrus trees it offers a relaxing degree of privacy and shade. An adjoining casita houses the sauna, toilet, separate shower room and nearby massage area.
There are sun -loungers and tables and chairs around the pool and plenty of shaded areas for those who don't want to sun bath.
As the leisure area is not beside the Finca guests can siesta in the living accommodation and not be disturbed while others are having fun in the pool.
All our fruit is organic, and depending on the time of year there are plums ,avocados, grapes, figs, almonds, pomegranates, oranges, lemons and tangerines which guests can enjoy at no extra cost.

The Andalucia / Malaga Province region

Andalucia is one of the warmest regions of Europe. It has a temperate, Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters with irregular rainfall.
Malaga city has a host of cultural and historic interests as well as some stunning architecture. The Cathedral and Alcazaba fortress are well worth a visit, as is the Picasso Museum.
The province includes the beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol and although the coastal areas are heavily populated and can be expensive, you don't have to travel far to experience a bit of rural tranquility.
From Malaga city follow the Guadalhorce valley northwest of Malaga which becomes more and more stunning as you get closer to the series of reservoirs at the top of the valley.
Travel through Cartama and Pizzara to get to the white washed village of Alora.
Finca Alcubilla is a 10 minute drive from Alora.

The Alora area

Alora nestles between 3 rocky spurs topped by the ruins of a magnificent castle.
Between 1587 -1593 Alora was home to the fabled Cervantes and it is also said to be the birthplace of Malagueno flamenco.
It has a variety of tapas bars and restaurants and, unlike the Costas,dining out is still very cheap and very good.
I can recommend a number of restaurants and bars where English is spoken so no problems when ordering food or drink. There is an excellent local bar/restaurant which does tapas, main meals and wonderful vegetarian dishes.
The village holds a weekly outdoor market, which amongst other things provide a good selection of fruit and vegetables.
PLACES TO VISIT - THINGS TO DO
El Chorro - a magnnificent steep sided gorge is paradise for walkers, climbers and mountain biking
The Medieval citadel of Bobastro; the city of Antequera;Ronda,just a few of the places of interest.
Valle de Abdalajis popular with hang gliders.
Horse riding, swimming, kayaking,fishing and bird watching are just a few of the local activities.
