This beautiful house in the hills of Axarquia is all it promises in the description and the pictures. The building and surroundings are in a very good shape and maintained well. The house is clean and fresh, the swimming pool and terraces as well.
It might be good to know: there is no dishwasher. The water comes from 2 huge tanks outside the house, so it makes sense to use water with care and don't waste it. To dispose of your rubbish, you need to bring the bags down to the village and dump them in one of the many dumpsters you'll find easily along the roads. Glass, plastic and paper have seperate containers as well.
The drive from Benamargosa up to the villa is an exciting experience, as the road is only partially paved, small and quite steep now and then. It's important to have a proper car, but if you drive carefully and aren't a nervous driver you'll get used to it. We decided not to drive up or down in the dark, because we didn't feel confident to do so.
The owners Wim and Dorien are very competent, friendly and trustworthy people. They help you whenever help is needed. They always reply within a very short time to any questions.
The 360° view is absolutely stunning. The place is exactly what we needed, as we wanted to relax, enjoy some peace and quiet and not be too far away from an airport. To reach the house from Malaga airport you need 1 hour by car if traffic conditions are normal. The beach and restaurants in Calete are worth a visit. The ancient town Comares as well.
We can highly recommend this villa to people who are looking for the real peace and quiet. Thank you Wim and Dorien, for having us!
