This unusual house enjoys breathtaking panoramic mountain and countryside views of olive and almond trees all the way around and looks towards the hilltop village of Comares and even down to the sea.

The unusual pool with seating area, looks down over the breathtaking mountains and down to the sea in the distance. We've built this house to a very high standard, using the best oak beams giving high vaulted ceilings in the main open plan living space and llarge bright master bedroom suite, yet leaving a feel of true Spanish charm throughout with all the modern conveniences. We have used traditional wooden doors, windows with wooden shutters, light stone floors, and have ceiling fans throughout, even in the large living area, where you can cool down at any time of the day.

Sat TV with English channels have been provided and Internet access is available on request. All bedrooms lead out to their own terraces. Outside dining has been provided under a wrought iron gazebo overlooking the pool area.

On the upper floor you can enjoy a stunning vaulted master suite with private terrace overlooking the pool and views. This bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own en suite facilities.

The Andalucia / Malaga Province region

Driving along the Costa del Sol overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, about 30 minutes away from Malaga Airport you will enter La Axarquia, a rural region still unspoilt by tourism. Green countryside with white-washed villages, tranquility and a different way of life under the year-round sunshine of Andalucia are waiting for you.

Going up from Torre del Mar into the mountains you will reach Lake Viñuela, a man-made reservoir surrounded by mountains, not only providing the area with water but also forming a spectacular and harmonic part of attraction of this unique and scenic landscape. here you will find several bars/restaurants offering fantastic food.

Heading inland from here you will reach the charming village of Riogordo, nestled into this stunning countryside with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Riogordo translates to Fat River, which is what the village is know for. . Torre del Mar with beaches and all facilities is 20 min away.

The Riogordo area

The pretty whitewashed village of Riogordo lies in the region of Axarquia. This small and unspoilt area of Andalucia –to the north east of Malaga - is still a well kept secret. Untouched by mass tourism, and surrounded by National Parks it is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty between the Sea and Sierras.

The village offers very resonable local restaurants and excellent shopping facilities. Only 20 minutes to the Mediterranean coast, and 40 minutes to Malaga international airport. Due to good motorway connections, Granada and Antequera can be reached in 1 hour, Cordoba and Seville in 2 hours. Lake Vinuela is 10 mins by car.

It is five minutes drive from La Capilla to the pretty white washed village of Riogordo in the region of Axarquia. The village is typically Andalucian with its winding streets and large selection on restaurants ranging from tapas bars, a pizzeria and several high class restaurants. Riogordo has a large selection of small shops including three mini markets which sell freshly baked bread every day, a pharmacy, four butchers, a fishmonger, a weekly market, a shop for stamps, a Post Office and two banks. The 24 hour Health Centre is situated in the next village of Colmenar.

Just 10 minutes drive and you will find the outstanding Lake Vinuela with many bar/restaurants and a little further to the coastal town of Torre del mar with its famous fish restaurants. Nerja just 10 minutes further along the coast is well worth a visit. Excellent roads are easily accessible to visit Granada (1 hour), Antequera (30 minutes), Ronda and Gibralter (under 2 hours),Cordoba and Seville (2.30 hours).

“Lovely, peaceful villa” La Capilla is set in beautiful surroundings with views across the valley. The villa has a great feeling of character with high ceilings, beams and a traditional style. The upstairs master bedroom is great with it's own bathroom and balcony. The pool is good for the children. There is a BBQ and outside eating area - lovely to have dinner and watch the sun go down and the lights come on in the village on the hill opposite. The villa is well equiped with everything needed. Be aware it is up an unmade road, so be prepared. This is what gives it the sense of isolation and the views, however a small car may struggle. Riogordo is a nice village with a couple of restaurants, small supermarkets and friendly people. The nearest large supermarket is about 30 mins drive away on the coast. Overall a great place for a family holiday. Response: HI Thanks for submitting the review. Only just seen it. Glad you had a good time and enjoyed the house. Since your visit the entrance approach has been smoothed over by the local council, so is much better. We have had a large shaded area built in additional to the one by the pool. So for dining this is fantastic. I must point out, that although the major HYPERMARKETS are at the coast, we do have a 4 supermarkets , several butchers, bakers and fishmongers in the Village, which is 5 mins away. So if you choose to not venture far, then you can do so. We hope to welcome you back sometime and thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. regards Lisa

Guestbook for LA CAPILLA

We had a lovely stay in September and liked it so much we have already booked our return visit in July 2010. The villa and views are wonderful. The situation is rural but not remote and with the village close by you have everything you need. We would recommend to anyone that wants a perfect place to chill out. Sheena and Simon

The villa has amazing views across the mountains, is well positioned to explore. Very well laid out inside, if your looking for somewhere peaceful but not too remote this is the place.

We have had not just 1, but 2 wonderful holidays at La Capilla, whilst searching for our own place in the sun. The views are amazing, especially from the balcony on the first floor. We thoroughly enjoyed eating al fresco by the pool, which gets sun all day long, and when we could drag ourselves away, access to local restaurants and shops is excellent.Plus, only 45 minutes to the airport!
The property is bright, airy and clean, and cool with the high ceilings. We did have a small problem with the drains, which was dealt with straightaway, and with many apologies from Lisa.
We have recommended this property to our friends as an ideal place to stay in this region.
