Lovely rustic farmhouse with pool

This charming old farmhouse has been carefully renovated to offer modern day comforts, whilst making the most of its original rustic style. Sitting at the head of its own quiet valley, with its olive and almond orchard cascading below, the farmhouse is an easy 8 minutes drive from the lovely white mountain village of Competa and just a 25 minute drive from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Its location offers stunning views of both the coast and the surrounding mountains of the Natural Park. The space The farmhouse offers comfortable and relaxing accommodation for 6 people. It is also possible to have a baby/young child in a travel cot in addition. It has a private pool for the exclusive use of guests. It is set in beautiful rural countryside just outside the lovely mountain town of Competa. The setting provides easy easy access to the local beaches, lovely walks from the door and up to the mountain range behind Competa and is an easy drive from the cities of Malaga and Granada. Inside the house it has a large kitchen dining room, an air conditioned lounge, three bedrooms, two of which are double and air conditioned and one - formally the stable where the farming family kept working donkeys - which has twin beds that can be put together to form another double. The stable isn't air conditioned, but the whole house benefits from very thick farmhouse walls and the airflow through doors and windows help keep this room cool in the summer. There are two bathrooms, one of which has 'Jack & Jill' doors, so each bedroom has private access to an en-suite bathroom. Outside, the house is surrounded on all sides by attractive gardens and the land, with its orchard of fig, almond and olive trees, drops away down towards the coast, providing lovely views of the coastline and a private natural space for guests to look out on. There are two terraces - one which is part covered with a bamboo pergola and which provides shaded space for comfortable outdoor dining for 6 people. Additionally, there is also an area with a large cushioned sofa, to enjoy relaxing with a book or taking a siesta in the sunshine. The pool terrace gives access to the large 7.5 x 3.5m pool around which are sun beds and parasols, so guests can swim, cool down, sunbathe and enjoy the Spanish summer in a peaceful natural setting. Guest access As the original farmhouse has been preserved as much as possible, there are some quirks associated with the age of the house. Some of the doors and archways in the house are less than full height and care must be taken to duck when passing through! The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are also 'finca style' - quite steep and not suitable for small children or people with mobility issues. There are also two steps from the downstairs double bedroom to the bathroom and one step from the lounge to the twin room. The farmhouse is generally suitable for a family stay, but care must be taken with steps inside the house and the area around the swimming pool, which is unfenced. Baby / young child facilities consisting of a travel cot, changing mat, stair gate and high chair can be pre-ordered for your stay at an additional cost. Please contact us for details.
