Home description

On the outskirts of the hamlet of El Romo, the cottage is a rustic semi-detached cortijo with modern facilities.
2 large bedrooms with solid wooden beds, comfy mattresses and crisp good quality bedlinen, and
Fully tiled bathroom.
An open plan living/dining/kitchen area with double doors leading directly onto
A large southwest facing terrace, which has table and chairs for 4, and stone built BBQ.
There is a south facing 8 x 4 private pool, with sunbathing terrace furnished with wooden furniture with plenty of cushions, for 4 people.This area enjoys day long sunshine and the mountain views are stunning.

The cottage has excellent road links to local villages, including Comares, Colmenar and Riogordo, which are all 15/20 minutes away by car, and where you will find small supermarkets and banks. It is also ideally placed
for trips to the coast ( 35 minutes ), Antequera ( 40 minutes ) Granada ( 90 minutes ), and is only 50 minutes from Malaga airport. The mountain scenery in the Axarquia area is stunning, but it also makes for some dramatic mountain roads. If you are afraid of heights, and steep hillsides, then this area may not be for you.Please ring for details.

It is ideal for a peaceful relaxing holiday for couples or small families. All of our guests have commented that it is a real " chill out " property to relax and rest away from a busy lifestyle .
If having bars and shops right on the doorstep is important to you, then this cortijo is not for you. Please bear this in mind when considering booking.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region

The Axarquia region is steeped in history, with Moorish villages scattered like sugar cubes on the mountainsides. Folklore tells stories of highwaymen and bandits who hid in the many alleyways of these villages.At it's centre is Lake Vinuela, 25 minutes away, where there are some good restaurants, including fish and chips and even 2 curry houses ( if you must ! )

The coast is only 35 minutes away, where the beach at Torre del Mar is gently sloping backed by a long promenade, with many fish restaurants to choose from.

Slightly further afield are Antequera 40 minutes,, Malaga city 40 minutes, Ronda 70 minutes and Granada 90 minutes, all worth a visit if you can drag yourself away from the pool!

The climate ranges from mild and sometimes wet in the Winter, to very hot in the Summer.Spring is very beautiful as the verges are full of flowers, and the climate is warm without being too hot.

Colmenar area

El Romo is a small hamlet sitting between the villages of Comares, Colmenar, and Riogordo. Comares is the highest village in the Axarquia region, and well worth a visit as the views from there are breathtaking.

This is real rural Spain, where the hills are covered with almond and olive trees, and you will hear the tinkling bells of the the herds of goats as they are shepherded up and down the mountains.

There is a small bar in walking distance,where some of the locals tie up their "mulos" whilst they have a drink . Here Maria can make tapas for you, they have a good menu ( in English )or just sit and enjoy a drink with the friendly locals.

Local activities include horse riding, walking, swimming, quad biking, cycling. There is a Water Park at Velez Malaga, 30 minutes away, and a Wolf Park at Antequera, about 40 minutes away, and Golf at Antequera or Baviera Golf 30 minutes away.

How to get there

Flights to Malaga which in only 50 minutes away by car with Easyjet, Thomsonfly, BMI Baby, Ryanair from all major UK airports.
Car hire is available from Malaga airport, and works out cheaper to prebook in the UK. Many companies operate from the airport, including Holiday Autos, Hertz, Helle Hollis, Record and Crown.
From the airport, take the N331 Motorway for Antequera and Cordoba. Turn off at the A356 to Colmenar and Riogordo. El Romo sits between the 2 villages, easily accessible via a tarmac road and a short concrete track.
