About this property

2 bed villa with pool between Alora & El Chorro in the lovely Guadalhorce Valley


We are still in love with the beautiful landscape and towns of this oart of Andalucía. Its best of all through autumn winter abd spring with fabulous weather. There is so much variety and so many places to visit . Close to Alora and the amazing Caminito Del Rey, Casa Los Olivos is a spacious and very comfortable country house full of rustic charm in the Guadalhorce Valley. In addition to the Caminto del Rey, (book on line) listed in the top 5 things to do in the world by lonely planet,there is sport climbing at El Chorro and water sports at the Ardales Lakes. For walkers there are countless walks in the most beautiful mountains, hills and valleys to suit all levels of interest and fitness. Only 3 km from Álora, 40 minutes from Málaga airport and the Mediterranean Sea it offers an ideal holiday location of extraordinary diversity and rural Spanish charm.
The house has traditional Spanish rustic features and is equipped to the highest standard of modern convenience making it suitable for a family or two couples and is built to full wheelchair standards.
The large living and dining area has a vaulted beamed roof, terracotta floor, wood stove, TV via Internet (bring your HDMI connector) Books and DVDs are available and Wi Fi internet access. The kitchen is open plan and fully equipped. The pool has a gated enclosure for child safety, and lots of garden furniture. There is a table tennis table - great fun for all. All you need to feel at home: We provide a welcome pack so you have a snack and something to drink on arrival, and for late arrivals we ensure there is something for breakfast. However please note we don’t accept arrivals after 11 pm .We also provide essential larder items and kitchen basics , and hand sanitizers. The pool has a covered pergola which provides shade all morning through to about 3 pm. The terrace is south east facing, and the terraces and garden gets afternoon and evening sun. The top terrace gives you amazing views over the valley to El Torcal and to El Chorro.

Activities: country sports, water sports, tickets to The Alhambra and the Picasso Museum - Cycling, walking, horse riding, golf, And climbing are the most popular sports in this area. Walking, bird watching, touring the white towns and exploring the Guadalhorce Valley - there truly is something to suit everyone in this rural location - including easy access to Cordoba, Malaga, Ronda, Granada and the wonderful countryside of Andalucia. The new AVE means Madrid is only 2 1/4 hours away from Malaga (cheapest if booked in advance on the internet) and if you are here for a longer stay we recommend a trip to Tarifa for whale watching, a tour up the coast of the Costa de la Luz - a stop over in the beautiful Vejer de la Frontera, a visit to the amazing Jerez - the bodegas and the Andaluz Equestrian School, and return via Arcos de la Frontera and Ronda.

Improvements: We are always working on improvements. This year we have refurbished the shower room and have a semi enclosed dedicated fitness area to the rear of the casita. Small weights, table tennis and dart board. On the top terrace we have seating with fantastic views across to La Huma, El Torcal and over the Guadalhorce Valley. We are licensed by the Malaga Ministry for tourism, and registered with the new national register for short term holiday lets . ESECTU000029001000039897000000000000000VTAR/MA/012673,

About the host

Hosted by Helen Kirk and Alan Chapman

Host profile image
Alan and I love this area. We have beautiful scenery and incredible national parks, gorges, crags, valleys, all accessible and enjoyable by people of all ages. Our Spanish friends and neighbours are wonderful and welcoming and we feel after 22 years that this is truly our home.

Why they chose this property

We couldn't resist this property, which has stunning views over the valley to El Torcal and la Huma mountain ranges. The old farmhouse has charm and warmth and we were fortunate to have permission to build a large property to the rear which is available for visitors. It is spacious traditional in style but has all the modern equipment. It is great for people of all ages.

What makes this property unique

Very easy access, no long winding tracks - we wanted to be within easy reach of shops, restaurants and other people. And we now have a pretty good bus service between Alora and El Chorro - brilliant!
