There are 3 restaurants, a convenience store and a petrol station close by. If you want the beach it is just a 40 minute drive away. Las Navillas Adventure Centre is just 2km away where you can enjoy quad biking in the mountains, horse riding, ascend climbing walls and frames, enjoy zip slides (including one a 100m between two mountains!), donkey rides, 4x4 mountain jeep ride, paintballing and archery (all very reasonablly priced). Across from the Adventure Centre you can do go-karting and shooting plus there's a fabulous country restaurant as well.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region

Our guests have told us that Walnut Farm is ideally located for getting to see many different attractions, both close by and slightly further afield. Granada (1 hour) Seville (1.5 hours) Gibraltar ( 1.5 hours) Ronda (45 mins) and Cordoba are all well worth seeing. Some travel writers have dubbed the region "The Andalucian Lake District" and the area remains unspoilt by commercialism. Between the craggy mountains surrounding the historic towns of Ronda and Antequerra there are around 6 lakes, each one a magnet for wildlife. The turquoise lakes of El Chorro are surrounded by spectacular soaring limestone crags with eagles frequently spotted circling around .There is also a fantastic railway walk which climbs up the side of the gorge. Ski-ing in the Sierra Nevada is just over an hour away.

The Climate - Summers are always very hot with rain rare between May and October. Winter months can still be warm but evenings are noticeably cooler.


Antequera area

Antequera, just 10 mins away from Walnut Farm, is a Roman Town with many historic buildings, beautiful churches, a Moorish castle, bullring and other places of interest ,and you can join a "Town Trail" from the Tourist information office. Enjoy tapas, a special evening meal or just a drink in one of the many bars and restaurants. Just 10 minutes out of Antequera you can visit the unique and incredibly spectacular "lunar" scenery of El Torcal - with many signposted walks of vvarying lengths and difficulty.

Fuentra de Piedra, a natural salt water lake and ornithologists paradise with thousands of flamingoes and other wildlife to be enjoyed, is just 30 minutes away. Granada and the maginificent Alhambra Palace is definitely not to be missed, and a trip to Seville, one of the largest historical centres in Europe can be reached by car or from the train station in Antequera. Cordoba with its Great Mosque is considered by many as the eighth wonder of the world. Closer by, Villanueva de Trabucco, Villaneuva de Rosario and Colmenar are typical Spanish villages.

Further details indoors:
Casa Rosa has a fully fitted kitchen including a conventional gas cooker with a grill and 4 rings. There is a 'combination microwave' (which also acts as an oven and grill).

The accommodation includes two bedrooms - one has an en suite shower room and is accessed off the main living area of the cottage. The second bedroom has an en suite bathroom - but has the benefit of access via its own separate front door. Casa Rosa therefore is ideal for either 1 or 2 couples, or a family with older children, due to the added privacy.

Further details outdoors:
Fully tiled magnficent swimming pool (10m x 5 m with Roman steps) plus large surrounding terrace with sunloungers, parasols and outdoor shower.

There is a separate utility room at the bottom of the garden housing a washing machine, freezer and additional fridge plus iron and ironing board. There is a small library with books, games, CDs and DVDs. Several outdoor games including gigantic chess and 'jenga' are provided.

Casa Rosa is set in a large plot with one other 2 bed cottage (known as Casa Marguerita) within gardens that feature a large number of walnut, fruit and olive trees, and which offer guests the opportunity to enjoy stunning countryside and mountain views. A beautiful patio with pergola covered by climbing plants sits at the front of the cottage. Together with quality wooden furniture, a BBQ and surrounded by potted flowers this area is perfect for alfresco dining, any time of the day.

The lovely gardens include additional seating areas for guests to enjoy the tranquility and scenery. The clear star-studded night sky at Walnut Farm is also truly breath taking!


Further details

The heated swimming pool is open from April to November and shared only with guests from the other cottage.
Ideal for 2 couples sharing or for a couple with older chidren as one of the bedrooms has a separate entrance, which is great for added privacy. This makes it not as suitable for families with very young children. The other cottage, Casa Marguerita (ref 10108), would suit young children better.

Guestbook for Walnut Farm - Casa Rosa

"The location is fantastic. To be in the heart of the countryside and yet close enough to visit several of the local villages really suited us. We particularly enjoyed our trips to Villanueva de Rosario and Lake Iznajar. "

"The standard of accommodation is excellent, and the swimming pool was just heavenly in such hot weather. We loved the laid back feel of everything and both feel totally rejuvinated."

"The directions you gave us from the airport and to get to the Supermarket were brilliant, and we found our way around really easily on what has been our first trip to this region. The area is lovely, we will definitely be back."
