Romantic Casita overlooking 10m x 7m swimming pool and breathtaking mountain/sea views - the best you'll get!
Nestled in the sunny side of Comares, Andalusia just below the stunning pueblo blanco village of Comares. Offering sunshine from rise until set in extensive grounds full of oriental day beds, Rajasthan parasols and our other finds from around the globe. And of course here at Hammock and Stars there's a few hammocks dotted around. :-)
The space
Have your very own piece of the dream, get away from it all whilst only 20 minutes from the coast and 45 minutes from Malaga airport. In this adults only site, perched at 550m on the south side of the mountain between olive and almond groves there is plenty of open space and privacy (our grounds are over 5 acres), yet the friendly little hamlet of Los Ventorros, Benamargos,a and the village of Comares itself with bar and restaurants and all amenities are only 5-10 minutes drive.
Comares is great for walking/mountain biking (we have 2 MTB on site for guests to use) and boasts the longest zip wire in Spain! Alternatively just sit and chill and enjoy the beautiful 360 degree views and sunshine. Comares boasts an unrivalled view if the Axarquia at 707m above sea level.
After having a very successful first 2 years welcoming a bunch of truly lovely guests from all over the globe we have recently moved to our new beautiful larger site in what we hope to be our forever home. Our grounds now sits on five acres of land and includes three large (separate) properties with complete privacy if you want it...or ample space in shared areas to meet new peope and still ensure safety in the "new normal".

Caista Rosa has three private terraces solely for use by those who book and stay. These spaces are outlined in the images. Please take the time to study this.
We have hand santising stations on all terraces and all soft furnsihing are sprayed with alcohol based disinfectant each day.
The pool is shared with a maximum of six guests at any given time. Our many terraces to lounge give ample space to bathe in the sun with only a few steps to reach the pool for a cooling dip.
There are plenty of terraces and secluded nooks and crannies to relax, along with outside eating and lounge areas with day beds etc. Perfect for a good book or listening to some great tunes. The mountain views from the swimming pool will have you gazing all day. From your private terrace you have views all the way down to the sea, and the most stunning sunrises and sunsets.
Guest interaction
We live on the same grounds in a seperate private property, therefore are on hand when needed to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible, whilst allowing you the privacy of your own space and private outside terraces, as well as the many and extensive shared terraces and pool in our grounds of over 5 acres. We will welcome you in person and can provide any support you need as well as information on the local area. We also have other accomodation options to suit different size parties, including a beautiful yurt so please do contact us about these even if calendar shows unavailable or you are looking for a group booking!
Please note we have recently taken over the property/land and have completely refurbished and upgrading the property and grounds with our beautiful antiques and quirky finds from around the world!
So how do we/ guests describe hammock and stars? Well yes it's a private rental with your own private space but it's a bit like a mini exclusive resort. The pool and shared spaces are cared for by us. Pool is cleaned every day when in use, cholrine and ph monitered and adjusted. The shared spaces are swept and tidied each day and we work on the gardens regularly. We're there to light all the lanterns and make it look pretty at night. Want a outdoor cinema night? no problem! Catering onsite for those lazy evenings- but of course! You can have a much or as little interaction with us as you want!
Neighborhood overview
Comares is known as the 'balcony of Axerquia' and has breathtaking views of the countrysie and the coast... and of an exceptionally clear day even Africa is visible, yet its only 20 mins from coast. Superb walking, climbing, biking territory....or just for a bit of gentle visiting of the lovely towns or lounging and getting some well deserved R&R. We are also only a 10 minute drive from the traditional town of benamargosa with its full range of amenities.
Getting around
Unlike a lot of campo /countryside properties, ours is totally accessible - off main road and short 50m track.
Taxi Transfers from Malaga Airport available (Ask for details).
Parking room for hire car.
Whilst hire car isn't required we are up a mountain so if you want to get out and about a hire car is a good idea although we'll happily ferry you up to local supermarket for supplies if you are just coming for a short break and just want to chill in the sun.
Other things to note
Due to the location and style of our property plus the vibe our customers enjoy Hammock and Stars is over 16s only (there are opportunities to include your kiddiwinks if the whole grounds are rented exclusively by your group.
