About this property
Casita Escondida (Hidden Cottage) A private hidden gem with fantastic views...
This is a traditional countryside farmers cottage, perfect for couples. Set in an olive grove with spectacular views, which can be enjoyed from the pool area; or while having a BBQ on the patio. With an indoor working fireplace, traditional Spanish kitchen and beamed ceilings, the cottage is quaint and full of character. Ideal for couples wanting the peace and tranquility which the countryside has to offer and a good walking area. 10 minutes drive from 3 different villages including the most picturesque village of Comares and 5 minutes walk from the local bar/restaurant. 45 minutes drive from the beaches and attractions on the coast; or a 2 hour drive from the skiing in the Sierra Nevada, this really is a holiday which will offer plenty of variety! Mountain Bikers and walkers will also enjoy Montes de Malaga, a nature reserve which is 20 minutes drive from the house. The property is fully registered with the Junta de Andalucia Tourist board, so you can be secure in the knowledge that the house is a legitimate approved and inspected holiday rental in Spain.

About the host
Hosted by Liane
We live in England with our three children. We manage to go over to our house in Spain once or twice a year, but wish it was more often! We love the peaceful life in rural Andalucia, where we can truly relax and get away from our busy working life in the UK. We love being in Spain - both in the summer when we can make full use of the pool, or in the winter when we enjoy the log burning fire and the pretty walks in the area. Holidays there offer us space, fresh air, privacy and a truly relaxed lifestyle. In April we try to go skiing while we are there, the two hour drive to Sierra Nevada is fine for a day trip, where we can catch the low season cheaper ski prices. My husband and I grew up in Cape Town, and this rural area of Spain reminds of us of the rural cape: rolling hills, pretty countryside and very peaceful. We bought the house in order to have a bolthole: somewhere to go away from our busy lives and jobs, so no tv here! When we visit, we like to spend time tending to the fruit trees and have started planting some vegetables too - so if anything is ripe when you are there, help yourself! If this sounds like your cup of tea (or glass of sangria!) do come and enjoy our little cottage in a very pretty part of Spain!
Why they chose this property
We bought in rural Andalucia because of the stunning views, the peaceful, tranquil area and the outdoor space it offered our growing family. We thought the location was ideal - 45 minutes from Malaga, only 10 minutes from the nearest villages and 8 minutes walk to the nearest pub. We prefferred being away from the hustle and bustle of the Costa and wanted to be in the "real" Spain, where traditional customs still exist.
What makes this property unique
The property is not far from local amenities such as villages with their own markets, access to 24 hour hospital care if needed, and a local restaurant. The motorways to Malaga and Granada are both excellent, so we can easily either go to Malaga where we can enjoy a day of tourist attractions, or the beach - alternatively we can head towards Granada and the Sierra Nevada in the winter to enjoy the skiing. We think this gives us the best of both worlds! The area is a stunning walking or mountain biking area, with the Montes De Malaga just a 20 minute drive away. The property itself is very private, with its own private pool, ideal for couples.
