Comfortabel huis, wel rumoerig

Het huis is heerlijk! Wij waren er in november en dus kan het fris zijn. De airco’s verwarmen het huis ook en doen dat goed. De keuken is goed uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook buiten is het erg fijn. Met name de bedden zijn echt geweldig, de beste tot nu toe in Spanje die we hebben gehad. Let wel op: je kijkt uit over de vallei en in die vallei kan het erg rumoerig zijn en daar heb je wel last van: gillende kinderen, feestjes in de kroeg en motoren galmen je tegemoet op je berg. in Spanje tot nu toe!

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.

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!

Lovely walks in surrounding area and a good few restaurants to choose from in surrounding villages if you are there for a longer period of time. Would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful house overlooking a quaint village

Casa de La Flores is a beautiful house in a stunning location. The only downside are the hills up to the house which are not for the faint hearted! We used Maria’s taxi anywhere we wanted to go, but in truth we spent most days at the house by the beautiful pool. Margaret the owner was amazing to deal with before and during our stay. We couldn’t fault the house itself, or the pool it truly was beautiful.. the pool was a perfect depth and size for us and our 2 kids (13 and 12) hours of sun and fun was had!! Truthfully you are only 5 mins walk from the village of Archez but a car would be advised if you want to explore, we didn’t do a lot so it was perfect for us! Although the hills up to the house were a struggle, what awaits at the top is fab! Carl the guy who looks after the property and cleans the pool even gave me a lift to the next village up as I needed the pharmacy! So lovely and the local people are lovely and so helpful! We visited the other 2 villages above Archez, Canillas de Albaida and Competa and tried a few local restaurants which were fab! Thanks again Margaret for sharing your beautiful house with us.. Kind regards Irene and family

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

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.

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.

The Hidden Villa

Our second stay. Last year it was very (as in very very) hot. The veranda and pool are cooling and perfect to stay put if it gets too much. This year we had two days of terrible storms and 3 good days of warm weather. The property faces the sun in the morning and this helps warm everything up quickly. So you can dip in the pool. When the lightening and thunderstorms appeared we could watch them skirt the Valley from our high vantage point. This year we decided to eat-in more and cook with local ingredients and the kitchen was fine for that. And there’s a teapot! But there’s plenty of local places to eat too. In short it is a home from home high in the Spanish hills. You can’t go wrong with this one.

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!

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret and Brian McFadyen

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.
