This is a gem of place - and the check in process and communication with the owners is just perfect. Please note that while it is just 5 mins from the village/restaurants, the 10 min walk up the hill back to the villa will burn more than 2000 calories. It is steep! In the evening this is ok but during the hot midday sun it is impossible. The villa has everything you need - pool towels, comfy beds and every condiment under the sun. The village restaurants are fantastic and the locals are super friendly. The only negative for us was the number of barking dogs in the village - this often took away from the peace and tranquility of the setting when they started talking to each other.

Blissful Escape

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Flores and found everything satisfactory. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. The trip up and down the mountain was an adventure and the local restaurants and people were lovely and the prices were really reasonable though we found the generous portion sizes too much for us. The pool was divine and we spent so much time in it due to the weather being so hot. The sun beds were good quality and with very comfortable cushions as an addition. A parasol to shade under would be a welcome addition by the pool. It was a lovely way to spend our 40th wedding anniversary and the thoughtful touch of the card and sweets were well received. Thank you so much to our hosts.

La Casa de Flores

Excellent villa in a quite location overlooking Archez. The villa is well equipped and comfortable set in lush gardens. The pool is well maintained and ideal for splashing around in and having fun. The road up to the villa is very steep and you need a car and be willing to drive on Spanish mountain roads. This is perfect for a quite getaway and a relaxing holiday.

Lovely Casa with great views over Archez

We had ten very relaxing days at La Casa de Flores which is a lovely very well kept property perched on the hillside overlooking Archez. Very easy to relax on the veranda with a glass of wine watching the birds, views (and chameleon). Lovely walks take you to the two neighbouring towns of Canillas de Albaida and Competa, both with plenty of bars and restaurants. Thank you Margaret for your help and great communication - we’re already looking forward to a return visit!

Private, well-equipped, clean and modern villa with great views

Family of fours stayed for a week. Had a fab time. Pool was great - not massive but big/deep enough for four adults to have fun. Fantastic views over the nearby valley and villages. The villa is very private not overlooked by anyone. Árchez is a beautiful village with a few restaurants and bars. The owner (Margaret) is easy to communicate, very helpful with lots of great advice. All and all, we had a great family holiday in La Casa De Flores.

Just perfect

Communication with Margaret prior to going was great, lots of helpful information received. The villa and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The most perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle! Archez is very pretty and has a few bars and an amazing restaurant, Venta El Curro, which we were told is the best restaurant in the area. It was great as we were able to walk there, which only took five minutes. There is a stunning walk way just a few minutes from the villa to the next village, which was just breathtaking. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends and family and will most definitely be returning!

Ls Casa de Flores

We booked a week's stay at La Casa de Flores at the end of October/beginning of November 2022. The property owner (Margaret) could not have been more responsive to my queries or helpful with her advice, both before and during our stay. The property itself is very well equipped and comfortable throughout. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed our stay. It was pretty much everything we were hoping for: good accommodation, fine, warm weather, lovely walks, and all the many and various pleasures of Spanish rural life. Many thanks.

Alles erop en eraan, Top locatie

We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad in La Casa de Flores. Auto raden wij ten zeerste aan. De 1e dag even een korte spannende steile helling omhoog om bij het huis te komen maar dat went snel. Het huis heeft een prachtig uitzicht. Voor de kleine boodschapjes kun je goed in het dorpje Archez beneden terecht maar meerdere dorpjes zijn met de auto op ongeveer 10 min afstand en dan zijn er meer mogelijkheden. Het huisje heeft alles wat je maar nodig hebt, alles was keuring schoon en netjes. Natuurlijk hebben we het meeste genoten van de tuin, fijne sfeer, het heerlijke zwembad, super lekker liggende zwembad bedjes en diverse plekjes om heerlijk te zitten met in het bijzonder de veranda waar volop schaduw is en je kunt genieten van het mooie uitzicht. De gastvrouw was fijn in de communicatie en stond altijd voor je klaar. Wij geven de plek een dikke 10 en wensen aankomende bezoekers een net zo fijne tijd toe als dat wij dat hebben gehad.

Relaxing holiday with friends

This is our second stay at at this villa. Very comfortable and relaxing holiday in the beautiful peaceful village of Archez. The house and garden is well kept, as is the pool which is regularly maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and all windows are secured with mosquito screens. Since our last visit air conditioning has been installed. The terrace has a comfortable seating area perfect to watch the sunrise or relax in the evening, there are also two outside dining tables and a bbq. The owner Margaret was helpful with her advice before and during our stay. Great base for visiting surrounding villages with a superb choice of restaurants. A five minute walk down the road you will find an outstanding steakhouse, cafe bar and small shop. Thank you Margaret and Brian for sharing your home with us

Our Home for 2 Months

We chose a property for its location near more than one Spanish village, as well as a location for exploring walking and hiking trails. The house was perfect for 2 and in a most interesting location! The road from the A7 up and we mean up to Archez was high and curvy. One really had to concentrate because the views were incredible, and for the driver there is no sight-seeing. To be fair you can stay in the area of Archez without a vehicle, as the walking is beautiful between the villages and really you can get all the supplies you need between the three towns - Archez, Canillas de Albaida, and Cómpeta. You must be quite fit though to navigate the steep hills on foot and roadway up to the house very steep (but on the plus side, a short climb). We loved La Casa de Flores for views it afforded down onto the town of Archez and up to Canillas de Albaida and across the narrow valley. This was truly a home away from home!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After viewing 14 properties in 3 days, we fell in love with this one as soon as we came through the gates. The gardens and terraces are beautiful and the views are absolutely stunning. Because we are driving a lot at work we wanted to be within walking distance of at least 1 restaurant and 1 supermarket. We are lucky enough to be able to walk to 3 restaurants and 2 supermarkets in our own village and a similar number in the next village. I often travel to our villa alone and wanted to have somewhere that was private but not isolated. The real deciding factor though, was the warmth of the local people. Our village is a small Spanish community where the most valuable assets are family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The fact that the village is very self contained means that we don't always need to rent a car as we can buy everything that we need locally. If we want to take a trip to Granada, Seville etc we will rent a car, but if not, Maria, the local taxi driver, will collect us at the airport and take us back there at the end of our holiday. The majority of our returning guests do not rent a car now.
