Home description
Just one hour from Malaga airport you can enjoy choosing between rural Spain and the coast, by staying in a spacious four bedroom country villa near the archetypal white town of Competa and10 kms. from the coast near Nerja. Villa Carmen del Monte has its own private eight by four meter pool and is surrounded by mature Mediterranean gardens and olive groves. The panoramic views of the Almijara Sierra Park and the Torrox valley descending to the Mediterranean are breathtaking.
The Villa easily accommodates seven people in two doubles, one twin and one spacious single bedroom. Many villas of a similar size claim to sleep 10, but we do not believe in cramming in as many people as possible. The Villa has two floors with a modern well-equipped bathroom on each floor and ceiling fans to all rooms
The Villa is secluded without being isolated and is surrounded by mature Mediterranean gardens and olive groves. As it is only 400 meters from the Torrox/Competa road, there is no driving for miles over rough tracks so common in the area. The property enjoys the additional privacy of a long private driveway through the olive groves owned by the property.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
The villa is located in the ideal location. It allows you the choice of rural Spain, and the coast. The Villa is only 10 kms inland, so you are able to enjoy the many small towns set in the mountains (like the archetypal white hilltop town of Competa) as well as the coastal beaches. The Villa is 10 kms. from the coast near Nerja and 4 kms the coastal side of Competa. The whole area is rich in the heritage of the Moors, especially the nearby cities of Sevilla, Granada, Cadiz and Cordoba accessible by one of the best and most modern auto routes in Europe. The local town of Competa is still intrinsically Spanish in culture and bursting with local life. In all the local "white towns" there are bars and restraurants as well as fiestas almost every week in summer. There is also a convenient local bar and restraurant within easy walking distance of the Villa. The Villa is situated at one of the entrances to the Sierra Almijara Nature Park. It is close to dramatic scenary and is seculded without being isolated. Nerja and the coast have a wide selection of activities from water sports to night life as well as wide sandy beaches and small rocky coves.
Competa area
Apart from relaxing by the pool or on the beach, the more energetic might enjoy some of the following activities. all within a few miles of the Villa:
- Walking and Hiking - From right outside the Villa, there are many tracks leading into the nature park and into the Sierra Almijara. The local shops sell detailed walking guides. - Horse Riding - There are a number of stables within a few minutes of the Villa for both beginners and experienced riders. They will take the more adventurous right into the mountains for a really unforgettable experience - Four wheel drive/Quad Bikes - You can hire both and either be independent or take a guided tour of the mountain trails. - Golf - Bavaria golf is just 30 minutes - see below for details of the course. - Aqua Park - Is just 35 minutes away across from the Euroski main shopping centre. - Beaches – Spoilt for choice, from the quiet bays below the moiuntains East of Nerja to the wide sandy beaches of Nerja and Torrox Costa. - Sailing/boating at La Caleta marina near Torre del Mar - Ski-ing - at the ski resort in the Sierra Nevada - Sol y Nieve with ski runs up to 3,000 metres
Golfers can combine a golfing holiday with beach, mountains and the historic cities or Andulacia. The Costa del Sol exceeds in the selection of courses available to beginners and professionals. The nearest course is 25 minutes from the Villa. Baviera Golf Club is an 18 hole, 6100 yard, par 71 course, with driving range. The course is laid out around gardens and lakes, with views towards both the Sierra and the sea. Nearer to Malaga is the Anoreta Golf Club, another Canizares designed course. This 18 hole, 6538 yard, par 71course sets a slightly more difficult challenge due to water hazards being featured on 11 of the 18 holes, but still makes for an enjoyable game.
One of the best-kept secrets is the winter climate. This most southerly part of Spain, between the mountains and the sea, is said to have the best climate in Europe with 320 days of sunshine. This is the perfect time for walkers to explore the nature park alongside the Villa and return to drinks around the stove. The area in winter is a unique combination of indoor and outdoor living. If you are keen on sport, it is possible to sit on the beach or around the pool, enjoying the sun in Winter and three hours later you can be in deep snow at the ski resort in the Sierra Nevada - Sol y Nieve with ski runs up to 3,000 metres.

Being the costal side of Competa and at an entrance to the Sierra Almijara nature park, the Villa is perfect for walking in the mountains or lazing on the beach.
