Room in finca with pool & sea view for dog lovers

Stick to yourselves or enjoy the company of two highly sociable hosts, two teens and a bunch of human dogs in the separate guest house of our home Finca Molino in the countryside of Almayate at 2,5km from Costa del Sol's only unspoiled beach and half an hour drive from Málaga: Double bedroom with en-suite bath and extra kitchen + to share pool, huge terrace overlooking the sea, lounge areas, outside kitchen with bbq, covered dining and billiard table on a plot of 5.000m² full of fruits to pick. The space The finca is divided into two large, independent houses built into the hillside, in between the pool, pool terrace with outside kitchen, BBQ, roofed terrace and laundry house. All around: pure nature. The upper house is our private castle (our family includes a ten-year-old girl, a twelve-year-old boy, eight dogs, two cats and a handfull of chicken, all from the street – except for the kids). I am renting out the entire lower house with a total living area of 150m² – room by room individually for two to five people each as well as all together to fit up to ten plus child. This house is totally autonomous and private, it has its own entrance, two kitchens and every room has its own bathroom. Only the outside spaces are shared with us or other tenants. All windows face south and overview the sea. As you enter the lower house the fully equipped modern kitchen with seating area is on your left, next to it there is a nice room with sea views, double bed and en-suite bathroom for two people. Info on the rest of the house: In the next room, we have a generous 40 m² suite with en-suite bathroom, antique sleeping and modern living area and walk-in closet for two to four people (ad on Airbnb: SUITE IN FINCA WITH POOL & SEA VIEWS FOR DOG LOVERS). At the end of the hallway there is an independent 50 m² studio-apartment with own terrace and garden, besides a private kitchen, bathroom, a little extra room (without window) with a kid’s bed and large wardrobes, to fit two to four people plus child (ad on Airbnb: STUDIO IN FINCA WITH POOL&SEA VIEWS FOR DOG LOVERS). To view the ad on the entire house: HOUSE IN FINCA WITH POOL &SEA VIEWS FOR DOG LOVERS, The 5000 m² plot is completely fenced and largely a wild park full of fruit trees (lemons, oranges, figs, nisperos, pomegranates, apples, pears, nectarines, litchis, grapes, grapefruit… - there is always something to pick). Via the dry river bed you can walk the straight line to town (1.5 km) – by car you’ll drive a little detour (3.5 km). The town Almayate is 1 km away from the beach. Of course, it helps to like dogs, ours cannot be argued away. However, they are very close to us and are most likely to leave you alone unless you invite them. Please take a moment to let us introduce them to you (and any of your guests) and simply don’t let them enter the lower house, then your beds and groceries should be safe. But yes, they have hardly any manners, will jump at you to say hi, beg for food if you ever give them anything, “chat” with the neighbours’ dogs and some of them like their dip in the pool. Guest access It’s your holiday home, of course you can have your fling and go wild over the entire finca – enjoy the pool, chill on the terrace, have a BBQ, stroll around the garden, visit the chickens, cuddle the dogs or join us for a drink as you please. Other things to note We strongly recommend you rent a car. Even though we are only at 1,5km from town via the direct path, it can be quite an adventurous cross-country hike (depending on how high the weeds grow at the time), and the steep uphill way from town to the finca can be rather unpleasant if you need to carry luggage and groceries. Per car you’ll drive 3,5 km from town on regular roads, only the last bit of the drive to the finca is a rather bumpy dirt track, still it is manageable for any kind of car - be it tiny rentals or large camper vans, so far every vehicle made it up and down without damages, just take it nice and slow. You can safely park your car outside the gate within the white lines marking our parking spots, the road is a dead end, only the neighbours and us use it. From the gate to the guest house along the driveway, it’s about 100 steps uphill, please bear this in mind should you or any of your travel companions have health issues or feel wobbly on their feet, especially as our dogs may find it fun to accompany you up or down the driveway while chasing each other. Upon arrival, we can always pick you up with our quad plus hanger to help you with your luggage and groceries, otherwise you cannot park your car on the premises – we don’t want our dogs to escape or get run over. Had I mentioned that we had dogs? They really cannot be argued away, so it helps to like them. They have hardly any manners and are in fact criminals stealing food and whatever else smells nice to them, they may jump at you to say hi, beg for food if you ever give them anything, always take the best spots on the sunbeds, “chat” with the neighbours’ dogs day and night, and some of them like their dip in the pool. However, they are purely lovely and very close to us and are most likely to leave you alone unless you invite them for cuddles. Please take a moment to let us introduce them to you, don’t leave stuff lying around and simply don’t let them enter the guest house, then your beds and belongings should be safe. Our chickens live in their paradise next to our private house at the top end of the property, so the rooster’s wake-up-call is fairly far away – you’ll get eggs in exchange for your food leftovers and kitchen scraps. Kids are of course very welcome, but please be aware that our home is not child proof. The pool is not fenced and has a deep end, there are plenty of steps around the pool terrace, in fact the entire property has unsecured steep slopes with plants that can be harmful when ingested. But hey, our kids grew up here from the age of one and three, and they are still up and kicking. The pool is approx. 3,50m x 7,00m with brick steps leading into the (non-secured!) non-swimmer-area – ideal for kids to splash about while parents chill next to them with a drink. A couple of steps down the shallow end is 1,20m, the deep end 1,70m. It is open year-round and around the clock. Despite the currently alarming water situation in Spain, you will not encounter inconveniences. We have our own well and are thus not dependent on the suppliers regulating consumption in other places. Of course, we do ask you to make responsible use of our water. Finally, regarding our presence: We are always there for you and happy to help you with anything – but we won’t impose ourselves on you unless we all feel like a wine or something together. We have made our passion to host our main job, maintaining the finca and the other house we rent out is our day-to-day business, so you’ll see us around digging into whatever home improvement may be needed, making all kinds of stuff from our produce, engaging in DIY-projects - or simply enjoying a sundowner with or without friends. Just beware you are not renting a private holiday villa, it is our home, and we’ll be around. Should any of the other rental units be rented during your stay, it is of course possible that people make a night out of socialising on the pool terrace, which is basically the roof of the guest house, and we are afraid to say that as highly sociable hosts we have a strong tendency to encourage such encounters with a little help of music and drinks, which may or may not help somebody’s good night sleep.
