Home description
Casa Amelia is a beautiful villa built in the old rustic Cortijo style, with lots of charm and high beamed ceilings. It is set 40 mins from Malaga, in the small urbanisation of Cortijo Romero, which is 5 mins from the beautiful Lake Vinuela and just over 1 hours drive from the beautiful city of Granada.
The Villa, has been lovingly reformed to new condition by the present owners. The interior has been furnished to a high standard.
It is surrounded by the mountains of Sierra Tejeda and its white walls and terracotta rooftops compliment the endless blue skies that are characteristic of the historical region of Axarquia.
Casa Amelia boasts the most breathtaking views from the terraces all year round. In the summer season, you can appreciate the views of whitewashed villages and olive clad hills, and in winter, you can admire the glistening snow-capped mountains in the vast landscape whilst bathing in the hot temperatures below. The Gardens are mature and even boast their own fruit trees.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
Casa Amelia has many attractions all year round. If you want a taste of city life, then the villa is a mere 40 minutes from Malaga and just over 1 hours drive from the beautiful city of Granada. If a winter holiday appeals to you, then you are only 1 1/2 hours from Sierra Nevada where you can ski down the picturesque slopes.
Lake Vinuela area
If you wish to simply relax at the villa, without venturing too far, then take a look at these attractions that are a little closer...
=== Lake Vinuela ===
If you have a passion for water sports, fishing or you simply appreciate breathtaking scenery, then paying a visit to Lake Vinuela is a must. Lake Vinuela is becoming increasingly famous throughout Europe and provides a beautiful backdrop to be admired by all who visit the area, from simply taking a walk and absorbing the natural surroundings, to engaging in canoeing, sailing, fishing and windsurfing.
=== Hotel La Vinuela ===
The Hotel La Vinuela is a short distance from Casa Amelia and overlooks the serene Lake Vinuela. The Hotel restaurant provides an excellent range of traditional dishes to reflect the surrounding region. A wide range of wines are also offered and can be enjoyed whilst overlooking the picturesque lake.
=== Torre Del Mar ===
If you wish to taste a bit more of the Costa del Sol and visit a beautiful beach, then Torre del Mar is worth a visit. Just 15 minutes by car from your villa, Torre del Mar is a coastal town with more than 15,000 inhabitants. You can take a stroll along the fantastic promenade and venture into the endless shops, bars and restaurants. Many of the Spanish residents of the big cities come here along with visitors of all nationalities.
=== Golf ===
If you enjoy a game of golf, then take advantage of the various golf courses such as Baviera Golf situated only twenty minutes from the villa. Plans to implement another golf course will begin in 2005. This golf course will be 18 holes and will be almost a stones throw from the villa!

Just a quick note to say thank you for the time we spent in your lovely villa, we had a wonderfully relaxing time, and very much enjoyed the local restaurants you recommended - we went to them all - some twice ! Everyone in the village was so happy and friendly - they really couldn't have made us more welcome. J BURNSIDE July 07.
Just returned from a wonderful break at Casa Amelia, I was sorry to leave such a tranquil haven ! I would recommend the area of La Vinuela to anyone wanting to experience true spanish culture. The villa itself is beautifully laid out with every essential provided, Love, Love Loved every minute. Hope to return soon, very many thanks :) MRS SHARON HETHERINGTON - CO ANTRIM - APRIL 08
The Holiday at Casa Amelia was wonderful, although we wish we had of had more time to enjoy the villa, and beautiful gardens and pool, it was our first time in Spain and we did a lot of sightseeing. DAINIS FARTS - LATVIA - MAY 08
Casa Amelia was a great place to come for a holiday, we think you have one of the best positioned villas in this area !! It has such a beautiful outlook, almost like looking at a framed picture, and it is so private. ADRIANA,JAN,ALICIA,& ISABELLA LUBA - SURREY - MAY 08

G COX & FAMILY - STOCKTON ON TEES - JUNE 08
Just to let you know what a good holiday we had at Casa Amelia, we settled in very quickly, one of the most enjoyable parts of the holiday was watching our three and a half year old grandson learn to swim !! The pool area was lovely as indeed was the garden area and terraces. Always somewhere to sit out of the glare of the sun or to read quietly. Evening meals on the terrace at night were delightful. Hopefully we will return to Casa Amelia for another holiday. IRENE & DAVE ELSON CHESHIRE JULY 08
