The property is a restored, rural Andaluz farmhouse on the crest of a ridge in the Montes de Malaga. It comprises Casa de Luz, Casita Algarrobo and The Cuarto Rojo. Casa de Luz sleeps four, and Casita Algarrobo, two. The Cuarto Rojo is a large, luxurious, self-contained bed-sit and bathroom for two, with its own front door and balcony, but no kitchen. It can be rented to provide an additional, private bedroom with either the Casa or the Casita, but cannot be rented independently.
The Casa, Casita and Cuarto have been designed to offer generous space for the numbers accommodated and are furnished in a solid rustic style which aims to stay in character with the rural nature of the houses whilst offering a quietly up-market level of comfort. Although all part of the same building, care has been taken to ensure that each is private. An 8 x 4 metre swimming pool is available from early May to late September.

Outside, a 20 metre track leads up from the road to shaded parking for three cars. Separate wooden doors in the outside wall lead to the front patios of the Casa and Casita (pictured above). The large patio to the Casa has views across the valley south towards the mountain-top village of Comares. There is a barbecue, teak table and seats for six. The small patio to the Casita is shaded by a carob tree; algarrobo in Spanish. It has a bench for two.

The location will be of most interest to couples aged 30+, perhaps with older children. You will want a quiet holiday away from the crowds of the coast, in a beautiful area, which is in easy driving reach of a wide variety of interesting towns and landscapes and yet is less than an hour from Malaga airport. Bird watchers, naturalists and walkers may be particularly attracted. There are walks directly from the house; the Montes de Malaga, and Torcal parks are within 40 minutes drive; and many other opportunities further afield in the Sierras Tejedas or the sierras beyond Granada. It is also a good base for those who want to visit Cordoba, Granada, Ronda, Antequera, Baen and the many smaller historic towns and villages such as Alhama de Granada and Priego de Cordoba. The property is particularly suited to several couples holidaying together, but wanting a measure of independent space and privacy.
The layout and the furnishings are unsuitable for younger children; families with children should discuss their requirements with John and Hazel, the managers on the spot, whose details are given below. There are quite a few steps, and, as is common in old Spanish houses, those in Casa de Luz itself are steep. We ask guests not to smoke inside.
Bed linen and towels are provided. Each bed is provided with two pillows per person, a duvet and a blanket in winter, and a throw. Each guest is provided with a bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel and, for use by the pool, a beach towel. Each bedroom and sitting room has a fan.
