Overview
This modest home seems perfectly placed in the semi tropical, sweet and balmy microclimate of Axarquia region.
This is rural Spain at her finest; a place where the sun scorches grapes to raisins, where mangoes grow fat, and where the pool season seems to last forever.
The surrounding mountains protect the villa from prevailing winds, the valley simmers in long summer heat, and the nearby Mediterranean Sea sends a cooling breeze making for pleasant temperatures throughout the year.
With all that sunshine, you will be glad to enjoy the bright property’s outdoor space.
A garden terrace and al fresco dining space ensures lingering breakfasts with valley views, a gated swimming pool sitting above the house is a welcome sight on warm afternoons, and the sunny roof terrace with portable barbeque whispers of sizzling starlight suppers.
The hidden village of Cutar is only a kilometer from your door.
Inside the home, you can relish a bright and beautifully rustic feel.
There is an abundance of natural wood worked into the design and cheerfully simple touches that bring to life Andalusian living.
While all mod cons aren’t woven through, you still have the pleasures of WIFI, underfloor heating, and walk-in showers.
With fields of tropical fruits outside your window you can buy all your produce locally, including some glorious glowing wines, or head into the pretty village of Benamargosa.
Those who wish to venture further afield can also find the magical beaches of the Costa del Sol only 20 km away, along with the otherworldly visions of the El Torcal National Park and Granada’s Alhambra Palace a couple of hours’ drive.
For those seeking an endless summer and peaceful retreat, still within distance of Spain’s greatest landscapes – this simple mountain view home is an excellent choice.

YOUR REVIEWS
Villa in stunning location. Breathtaking views. Perfect place for us. Owner Antonio super helpful when needed."
+ Read moreVilla is lovely, stunning pool and stunning roof top however a table and chairs and sun lounger on roof-top solarium would have been nice instead of just chairs, the pool was amazing but there was a wasp nest somewhere and that was a problem as we all got stung as there were lots and lots of wasps around the pool. The plastic sun beds had no cushions on them so they were very uncomfortable to lay on. The pool area was lovely and the villa was nice, grounds were delightful. Antonio was very nice and helpful, the villa just needs a few added touches to make it perfect. The roof-top solarium is fabulous to sit and look over the distant villages and rural views but a table to put drinks and food on would have been nice. Also walking to the pool up the path by the side of the villa is unlit and very dark on the evening, we had to use our phone torch to see where we were walking. solar lights would be very useful to light up the path to the pool. We also found out when we arrived there is no OVEN only a hob and a microwave so we couldn’t cook pizza or chicken etc. this was not ideal with 2 children to feed but we managed. Overall we had a lovely time, we did enjoy the villa and the location and Antonio was very kind and welcoming. I would rate this villa 6/10 on facilities 10/10 for location and 10/10 for the grounds/garden/pool . Lisa Forte England"

+ Read moreWe have just returned home following a lovely week at the property It is a really lovely Villa with stunning views and easy access. Antonio is a really likeable guy and made us feel very welcome. We are counting the days for our return to the Andalusia wonder John And Philippa"
+ Read moreWe really enjoyed our time at the villa-we were there in March and had storms and rain but a few sunny days too. We lit the woodburner and were very cosy. Cutar nearby is beautiful, Benamargosa not so lovely but does have a supermarket and other facilities. Antonio, our host was very welcoming and relaxed...we ate oranges from the trees in the garden. Just beware the track down to the villa which is steep and bumpy but once you are there it is great."
