Well-maintained, independent finca in the foothills of Andalusia, just for you

Fuente de Hierro, the "iron spring", has been the name of the country for many centuries on which your finca with old trees stands. Even the Moors stopped here on their way from the coast via the Sierra to Granada and fetched their water here. During your stay on your finca you can have approx. (2x) 150 m² living space (ground floor, upper floor) with weather-controlled underfloor heating.
The pool is heated on request.
Depending on the position of the sun, you can choose between an east, south or west roof, pool or grill terrace.
You can enter the ground floor either directly from the large parking lot via the dining room or via the living room / south terrace. The kitchen, all doors and cupboards were made by a carpenter from Vélez-Málaga for Fuente de Hierro. Natural and earth colors characterize the interior of the finca. The walls have been specially cleaned in a rustico style, just as the fincas all looked much earlier.
You are the only guests. :-)
Finca Fuente de Hierro has its own private pool. You are always the only guests.
Finca Fuente de Hierro (approx. 1,500 sqm) is 800 m high, is built on two floors and has 150 sqm on the ground floor and 140 sqm on the first floor.
You are always the only guests and can enjoy your vacation with up to 10 (max. 15) people. Depending on your taste, you can retreat and enjoy the peace and quiet on the various spacious terraces, or socialize with the others in your group or with your family members.

The pool of Finca Fuente de Hierro is approx. 9m x 4m in size, with pool interior lighting and can be heated by arrangement. The counter current system is also available.

Finca Fuente de Hierro has quiet microprocessor-controlled air conditioning systems. The weather-controlled underfloor heating is simply very pleasant, especially for the transitional period or for the winter months. The system is mainly powered by the sun through solar thermal panels. The auxiliary heater for low-solar days is a quiet heat pump.
Of course bed linen and towels are available for you, the two kitchens are fully equipped.
Especially the washing machines (incl. Washing powder) are welcome for our guests with children: just wash your clothes so that they are fresh the next day, your luggage will be easier.
Hiking (maps in the living room) in the Sierra de Almijarra / de Tejeda nature park and golfing on the coast (Baviera Golf) are possible. This is the ideal place for individual holidays for lovers and demanding people. You will find peace and relaxation here and are the only guests.
You will be looked after by our lovely administrator Candido.

There are soap dispensers with pH-neutral soap on all sinks. There are also soap dispensers in the showers, filled with pH-neutral shower gel.

Additional information: We would be happy to send you our brochure or the very detailed information folder.
Fuente de Hierro has a free DSL Internet connection and WiFi for you.

Getting there: You can either arrive by car or fly directly to Málaga and then take a rental car at the airport. You can find a detailed description in the brochure or the information folder, which we will be happy to send you. You will be received by our administrator and instructed in the finca. If your arrival is late, the manager will be waiting for you, should the delay extend into the night, you will find everything illuminated and open-minded. The administrator then comes the next morning. Depending on the weather, the manager will be present several times a week on the finca for watering the plants, cleaning the pool and taking care of the land. Cheap flights via: Ryanair, Condor, TUIfly, Easy Jet, German Wings, Lufthansa, Iberia, Vueling.

Cultural sites near the finca / climate: hours by car: Granada (Alhambra) 2.5; Seville 3.5; Ronda 3; Cordoba 2.5; Toledo 5; Gibraltar 3; Algeciras, for Ceuta / Morocco, 3. The Axarquia (Rincon de la Victoria to Nerja) has the mildest annual climate in Europe. The location between the sea and the mountains ensures constant temperature equalization and, in addition to olives, almonds, wine, persimmons, etc., allows the cultivation of avocados, sugar cane, magos and papayas.

Great stay at Finca
We had a wonderful stay at Ralf’s place. The accommodation was lovely and peaceful and there’s lots of different exterior spaces to enjoy. The views are amazing. The pool terrace was particularly lovely to chill and relax. Would recommend going to the supermarket on your way to the Finca as there are no local shops close by, the last leg of the journey is off road so bear this in mind. The kitchen was fully equipped which was perfect for our stay. Ralf was a very attentive and responsive host. Would highly recommend this property.

Great place, excellent host
(English below) Un grupo de 9 familiares pertenecientes a tres generaciones hemos pasado una semana estupenda en Fuente del Hierro. El entorno es espectacular, la casa espaciosa y agradable, dividida en dos viviendas independientes perfectamente equipadas, y el anfitrion, Ralf, es extraordinariamente atento y amable. Esta claro que disfruta del area y de su casa y le gusta compartirlas. Muchas gracias, Ralf por todas tus atenciones. Hemos pasado unos dias estupendos! A group of 9 family members from three generations spent a fantastic week at Fuente del Hierro. The area is spectacular, the house, divided in two apartments completely independent, is spacious and pleasant and perfectly equipped, and the host, Ralf, is extraordinarily attentive, helpful, and kind. It's clear that he enjoys the area and his house, and takes pleasure in sharing them. Thank you very much Ralf for all your help and kindness. We had a wonderful time!

Amazing summer hols with friends n family
What can I say ...apart from this place is AMAZING. The communication from the owner from the moment we booked to when we landed back in the UK was absolutely fantastic . We went with our friends so the seperate apartments were great to allow us our own personal space . The pool area is fantastic too!! The road up is off road at a certain point but we managed with 2 little fiat 500's and the directions from Ralf were spot on ! We did call at the local Lidl ( 30 mins approx)from airport before arriving at Finca , which is a must so you can just chill for a few days . The place is more than well equipped for everyone's needs . This was the first time our friends have experienced a week in a Finca and off the beaten track and are totally smitten ... who wouldn't be ... you get your own space, a great pool , outside area and stargazing at its best So thanks Ralf for an amazing stay and hope we get to come back again!!!

10 night stay with family
We had a fantastic stay at this property. Ralf was an exceptional host and was always contactable and on hand to answer any questions we had. As others have stated, the property is a bit off the beaten track and some of the roads take a bit of getting used to but once you’ve mastered the roads you’ll love the location. The finca is located on top of the mountains away far enough away from the handful of other villas so you have the peace but close enough that you don’t feel isolated. The property is around 1 Hour 15 Minutes from Malaga airport; you’ll 100% need a car and a top tip would be to visit the shops before you arrive as it’s about 30 minutes back to a big supermarket! As for the property itself it is split into 2 very good sized villas which also works well as 1. We used both and loved having a kitchen next to the pool area. Each bedroom has aircon including the smaller single bedroom upstairs. The BBQ area is excellent and even includes a washing area and a fridge (for beer ... or food!) Lots of outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the views including a covered terrace area if you feel like it but the stars are so visible you probably won’t want to miss them! The swimming pool is great and we had plenty of room for 10 of us. The pool slopes from shallow to deep; deep is around 2 meters. Outdoor shower is heated ... pure luxury. The villa is very well equipped with all you’d need to stay for weeks on end so don’t pack towels or any kitchen equipment as you won’t need your own. We enjoyed walks around the mountains and day trips to the beach (30 mins) and Competa for ice cream (15 mins). A few tips; Understand before you set off where the villa is and don’t trust Google maps to take you the best way ... do your research! Wasps were everywhere when it got hot as they wanted a drink from the pool and whilst they weren’t aggressive they could be quite annoying! Do your shopping on your way from the airport. Roads are bumpy so consider hiring a 4x4/SUV. We had a fantastic time and I recommend this property for a family getaway if you are looking for relaxation or a beautiful base to explore the mountains. Thank you Ralf for your hospitality.

Perfect for a group holiday
My 7 friends and I stayed at finca Fuente de Hierro for 4 nights last week to celebrate two birthdays. We were slightly apprehensive about the journey up to the finca from reading previous reviews but actually we managed it perfectly fine. Ralf helpfully sent some directions ahead of time which didn't mean much at the time but made sense as we drove up. You will definitely need to hire a car for this holiday! We were all amazed by the finca. So well-equipped, it had everything we could have wanted to make ourselves comfortable. The pool was nice and warm as we had requested and well worth the extra money to get it up to temperature! The villa has two living areas (1 on each floor), 4 double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms and 1 single bedroom without. The seating areas outside are lovely and have BBQs for alfresco dining. Ralf was so kind and helpful throughout the holiday. He gave me his Whatsapp number and was happy to answer questions throughout the day. The only thing that could perhaps be improved on, is a guide book for guests inside that details things like: what to do with the rubbish, how to work the lights (they are all labelled in German), and also things like nice walks to go on, restaurants and shops within the local area etc. Ralf is of course on hand to answer these questions but I did feel like I was pestering him a bit at times! Overall, we would definitely recommend this villa to any group or family looking for a nice quiet break in the sunshine.

Superbe maison
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cet propriété, qui est magnifique et très bien équipée. l’emplacement est vraiment très isolé avec un accès en voiture un peu rude, en pleine montagne pour un vrai dépaysement. Mais un peu loin de des magasins !!! Le propriétaire est très à l’écoute pour n’importe quelle questions, il est près à trouver une solution pour tt problème éventuel. Je recommande c’est propriété !!!

Eine wundervolle Ruheoase
Meine Frau und ich hatten das Glück spontan für 11 Nächte in der Finca Gäste sein zu dürfen. Eines vorweg, jedem Gast sollte klar sein, dass die herrliche Aussicht und die absolute Privatsphäre damit einhergehen, dass die Anreise auch etwas länger und abenteuerlicher sein kann. Jedoch ist es wie so oft im Leben, dass die tägliche Routine die anfängliche Nervosität schnell verdrängt. Nach nur einem Tag erzeugte die Fahrt keinen erhöhten Puls mehr. 😊 Die Strecke zum Haus wird mit Google Maps fehlerfrei navigiert. Das nur als Tipp. Das Objekt lässt in Sachen Ausstattung, wie die Rezessionen vor mir bereits lobend erwähnt hatten, keine Wünsche offen. So viele Geräte, Geschirr und Besteck hatten wir niemals zuvor in einem Ferienhaus. Absolut TOP. Der Außenpool wurde auf unseren Wunsch beheizt - eine wahre Wonne !!! Ein abschließendes Wort noch zu dem Eigentümer Ralf - Danke für alles!!! Du hast uns in allen Situationen geholfen, Auskunft gegeben und Dich immer gekümmert. Großartig, dass es sowas noch gibt. Die Historie der Finca und die Zukunftspläne aus erster Hand zu erfahren, waren sehr interessant und spannend. Zusammenfassend, wer Ruhe und Entspannung mit grandiosem Blick über die Berge bis zum Meer sucht, wird hier fündig.
