About this property

Casa La Higuera nestles on the hillside on the edge of the beautiful mountain village of Canillas de Albaida and the national park of Sierra de Almijara, less than an hour’s drive from Malaga airport. Only 20 minutes drive to the local beaches.

This attractive, well-equipped villa has unsurpassed views of the sea and surrounding hills yet is within easy walking distance of supermarkets and restaurants.

Casa La Higuera offers 3 good-sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and private swimming pool.

The main villa houses the master bedroom and a twin bedroom. Both with ceiling fans and fitted wardrobes with views over the countryside.

The family shower room has been recently refurbished with crisp white tiles and modern fittings.

The house then is open planned with the lounge, kitchen and dining area flowing in a light and airy room.

The main house has a newly fitted modern kitchen with fridge-freezer, microwave, oven, gas hob, dishwasher and wine cooler.

The lounge has a TV and free wi-fi. A log burning for the cooler months.

The double (twin) bedroom and en-suite is in a separate casita a few steps behind the main house, with its own small terrace, perfect for visitors seeking privacy or grandparents wishing to escape for some peace and quiet.

Outside, the property has its own private 8mx4m pool and plenty of shaded seating areas for relaxing and dining. The gardens are mature and private with gated access. The views from the villa are stunning.

There is parking for 2 vehicles.

Excellent location in a beautiful area.

The house was very nice and well equipped and the outdoors area was great. The pool was lovely and the views/location were excellent. Watching the sun go down over the mountains was just glorious. We would hope to return one day and would be very interested in the property if it ever came up, it really was excellent. A couple of slight negatives: the nights proved to be very hot as the house has no air con, but we did go in 35+ daytime temperatures and the celing fans were otherwise very good. Also, whilst the wildlife was lovely; geckos, swallows, lovely butterflies, etc, the insect life was a bit bitey on a night whilst outside, so get some repellent on. There was no issue with biting insects inside though.

Eine sensationelle Finka

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in der Finka. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur lief unproblematisch und zuverlässig. Umgeben von Feigen und Limettensträuchern befindet sich die Finka in bester Lage. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort unseren Urlaub verbringen ****

Nice Villa with stunning views

Villa is typically Spanish in decor, clean and spacious. Outside garden area and pool is very well kept. The annex worked well for our party size too. We were only there a few nights and visited the lovely local villages for a few hours. Other than that we just chilled around the pool and patio seating area watching the swallows nesting in the roof. Some constructive criticism would be for sun shades / parasols to be provided

We love this area of Canillas and the neighbouring village of Competa

We were very disappointed with the lack of communication before our visit. The details of locating the villa and the supposed meeting of the manager was three years old. The television only worked on the last two days of our ten day visit - during which time the Queen had died. We asked for the pool to be cleaned a couple of days before we left but we never heard from Simon again.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Hurford

With our youngest child leaving home for university we started looking for our holiday home. We found Casa La Higuera and straight away knew it was the house for us. In a few years time we hope to spend more time in Spain but in the meantime we are quite happy to rent it out to people looking for a quality villa, in a stunning area of Spain where the climate is fantastic.

Why they chose this property

After renting many villa's throughout Europe, we finally found a place where we wanted to return again and again. We fell in love with the scenery, climate and laid back way of life. As soon as you arrive you feel relaxed and will certainly never tire of the amazing views from our terrace.

What makes this property unique

The main benefits of Casa La Higuera is it's position on the edge of Canillas de Albaida. It is just a 5 minute walk to the centre of the village where you can buy all your grocery needs or eat out. Competa is a 20 minute walk away. Yet, the villa is not overlooked and has panoramic views from the terrace. The garden and terraces face south west so sunshine all day.
