Description
Less than 5 mins walk, on proper pavements with streetlighting, to restaurants(including Moorish and Traditional Spanish), bars, supermarkets and pharmacy, but completely private sitting in 2000 square metres of land. Walking distance to 2 other villages with restaurants, shops, bars and banks. The bustling town of Competa is 10 minutes drive away. The beautiful beaches of Nerja, Torre del Mar and Algarrobo are within 20-25 mins drive. The house is accessed by tarmac road, so no need to rent a 4x4 vehicle.
The house is well equipped and furnished and is maintained by a local British couple. We have comfortable beds made up with egyptian cotton bedlinen, with throws for the summer and duvets for the colder months. Probably the thing that our regular guests love most about our property is our beautiful garden with its abundance of flowering shrubs, fruit trees and almond trees etc. We have a large, covered, arched porch at the front of the house which is comfortably furnished for those who wish to enjoy the shade. For the sun worshippers, our sunlounger cushions are specially made from mattress foam, by a local upholsterer to ensure comfort at the poolside.
We can accommodate children under the age of 2 or age 12 and over
The property is light and airy in the summer but cosy in the winter with a wood burning stove and aircon. Archez is a 1 hour drive from Malaga airport and 1.5 hours to Granada and 2.5 hours to Seville. The villages of Canillas de Albaida and Corumbella are within walking distance. The resorts of Nerja and Torre del Mar are half an hour away. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada is 2 hours drive and there are two 18 hole golf courses within easy drive.
