About the home

The villa is located on the alternative Costa del Sol, just a short walk to the beach and local amenities including a colourful market on Saturday morning. This is where the Spanish go on holiday and there are plenty of good, reasonably priced restaurants nearby.

In the summer months the complex boasts a charming swimming pool and the imposing tennis court is open all the year round.

The living area has a log fire for those visiting in the cooler months and a ceiling fan for hotter weather. There is Sky TV, a DVD player (with lots of DVDs) and wireless internet access. There are also books and board games and some toys to amuse the children including LEGO.

The pretty harbour, which is still a working fishing port, is the ideal place to sit and have a drink or meal and just watch the world go by. For those with more get up and go, a leisurely walk along the promenade will bring you to Torre del Mar which has a livlier nightlife.

Golfers can opt for a game of golf and there are other activities such as horse riding available nearby. The caves at Nerja are worth a visit and modern road links make a trip to Granada unmissable in the cooler months. Or you can just stay at the house relaxing on one of the terraces, drinking the local wine whilst enjoying a barbecue.

Caleta Harbour

The Costa del Sol region

The Axarquia area of Malaga has relatively uncrowded beaches and mountain 'white' villages. Less well known than the Marbella side of Malaga there is a distinctive Spanish flavour. The local capital of Velez Malaga is steeped in history and is a typical Spanish town which in the 21st century means that although retaining the Spanish flavour it provides all the modern amenities.

It is cheaper to eat out than many places in Spain and much more relaxed. For those missing the buzz and attractions of Spanglais, Nerja is more cosmopolitan and is much visited by the British. New road links have made visiting the historic cities of Granada, Cordoba and Seville a must in the cooler months. Antequerra (just north of Malaga) is also well worth a visit with the sci-fi rock formations of El Torcal to the south and the rare flamingo breeding lakes of Piedra to the north.

It is very hot in the summer, but generally warm and sunny during the winter months, although it can become cool in the evenings.

The Caleta de Velez area

Caleta itself is a very quiet seaside resort with a pretty harbour which still serves as a fishing port as well as a leisure marina. There are large beaches with plenty of beach bars, cafes and sunbeds available for hire. The builder who developed the surrounding area in the 1970/80s lived in Caleta himself and came to an agreement with the local mayor that no high rise buiding should be allowed in the village. There is, therefore, a pleasing lack of the large apartment blocks which litter the rest of the coastline.

Those with chidren should visit the Aquapark in Velez Malaga (summer months only). The shopping complex just across the road has a large supermarket, many other major shops and restaurants and a cinema which sometimes shows films in English.

There is a golf course in Caleta and several others nearby.

The larger town of Torre del Mar is a short walk along the promenade. This a livelier place and a very busy Spanish holiday resort. There are many cafes which specialise in the plates of fried fish much loved by the Spanish. It is recommended that you go out for a stroll on Sunday evening (after nine - Spaniards eat late- and dressed up for the occasion) and mingle with the Spanish taking their paseo (evening stroll) and perhaps stop for a plate of fish or an ice cream. Night life is very Spanish and starts late at midnight until dawn. In the other direction is the smaller but very pleasant resort of Algarrobo.

Those with strong nerves can hire a car a take a drive around the white villages in the mountains or the less brave could take a trip to the local resevoir at Lake Vinuela and from there visit the nature reserve.

There is a regular bus service to the larger town of Nerja. This is a trip that everyone should make in order to stroll along the famous Balcon D'Europe and to visit the aweinspiring caves stumbled upon by two boys out playing during the 1950s. There is a smaller, but equally interesting cave system in Rincon de Victoria near Malaga. These are the only submarine caves in Europe which are open to the public.

“beautiful house. good location” This house is lovely and very well equipped. There is everything you could possibly need in the fully equipped kitchen, loads of towels etc. The pool is great, very cean and very close to the house. There are shops, supermarkets and cafes within walking distance and the beach is less than a five minute walk away. The larger town of Torre del mar is a 15 minute walk away and has plenty of facilities. There are toys etc in the house for kids and we spent most of our time outside on the good sized patio. Very quiet at night so great for young families.

Guestbook for 57 Residencia Puerto Caleta

We never go back to the same place twice, but we may make an exception with Caleta.

Oh my gosh we had the absolute best time - I love your place in Spain - the area is fanastic.

It was so relaxing not to be pestered by people trying to sell us stuff all the time.

We have no hesitation in recommending your property.

The house surpassed all expectations.

Thankyou! We had a wonderful holiday.
