About this property
Stylish townhouse with superb views, elegant courtyard, pool and large terraces
The house is perfectly situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in this lively Spanish town. Perched on a hill overlooking the Guadalhorce valley in the Andalucian mountains, Cuarenta is a superb base for exploring this intriguing area of Spain, for enjoying the Spanish style of life in the town (7 minutes walk to the centre) or just chilling out, lounging on the terraces looking at the wonderful views to the mountains of the National Parks of El Chorro (where you will find the world famous Caminito del Rey) and El Torcal. The fascinating cities of Cordoba, Sevilla and Granada are all close enough for day trips, as is the enchanting town of Ronda. Malaga, an equally exciting city, and the Costa del Sol are only half an hour away by train or car - the beaches, water parks, fun parks, etc. of the Costa being particularly handy for entertaining children.
The house has been completely refurbished over the last few years to give a light and spacious feel with a large (27 ft x 14 ft) open plan living area, 3 generous bedrooms, new bathroom and separate shower room and revamped kitchen. We have redecorated and retiled throughout and all furnishing and equipment is to a high standard. But in this part of Spain for much of the year life is best conducted outdoors. There is a delightful, plant filled courtyard, three terraces with a pool and BBQ and stunning views. So, explore historic Old Spain, walk in wonderful hills or enjoy restaurants, shops and life in a lively and very Spanish town - delightful, and plenty for the kids to do as well.

About the host
Hosted by Kevin Mawdesley
I'm sixty-eight and semi-retired, my wife is sixty and the two children are at the point of flying the nest. We've been coming to this house since 2005 and we still enjoy it as much as the first year we came - and we can say the same for Alora and all the enchanting places surrounding. We intend to spend as much time here as we can!!!
Why they chose this property
It ticked every box! We wanted inland, we wanted somewhere with great views and easy access to the countryside but we also wanted the amenities of a town (particularly a good choice of bars and restaurants). So that's me happy, exploring in the day and drinking wine at night. But my wife wisely pointed out, if the children were going to buy into it long term there had to be something for them as well. There's lots of children's play parks and a lovely big open air pool in the town but it was proximity to Aqualand, Tivoli World Funpark, Selwo Marina etc. on the coast that sold them. Everybody happy!!
