About this cottage rental

Andalusian house on the hills overlooking Playa del Cañuelo, nearby Nerja, at 1h from Málaga. Made of one larger house and a lodge united in one fully private house, it comprises 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Outside, the open and covered terraces, garden & private pool offer overwhelming space to enjoy the sun and nature in this protected Reserve.

The house has witnessed the time when the house was inhabited and the land farmed. All old-style elements are still in place to retain its original character: pots and jugs anciently used for water and the 'alberca' transformed into a cozy secluded private swimming pool.
La Fuente is first and foremost a family house. No gadgets, but all comfort to ensure a relaxing holiday: WiFi, dish-washer, washing machine, fireplaces and heating devices for the winter.

At 800m, the now renowned 'Playa del Cañuelo' is a paradise for beachgoers, snorkel and scuba divers. It offers now 2 restaurants - depending on season.

At 10km, Nerja has countless shops, supermarkets, typical and exotic restaurants, tapas bars and all services one might wish.
The Nature Reserve of Sierra de Almijara has unlimited trekking possibilities, from a 1 hour walk to a day excursion. The area is known for its rich wildlife and spectacular landscapes. A drive to the Rio de la Miel springs or Peña Escrita reveals gorgeous mountain sceneries.

The area offers many activities: trekking, mountain bike, canoe, paddle, snorkel, scuba diving, river trekking, horse riding, jeep trips, tennis, golf (at 20km) and more. The region is very rich in culture and historical sites. The famous Caves of Nerja are at just 10km.
Within a half day or a day journey, some famous landmarks can be visited: Granada and Alhambra, Sevilla, Córdoba, Ronda, Sierra Nevada, Almería & Gibraltar.

I many ways a very special place, with an unique character and privileged location for an unforgettable stay in an unspoiled environment.

Pets: please consult in advance.

The house was full of character. It’s definitely a rural idyll and not sophisticated or luxurious. If you like a rustic farmhouse on a hillside with a 15 minute scramble down to a semi-deserted beach (with 2 lovely bars/restaurants) come here. It’s basic living with gorgeous views and very private. Lots of places to sunbathe or sit around in the shade. No bbq’s allowed in Andalucia during the summer. The cottage/lodge is a separate building and again very rustic. Quick trips to whitewashed towns are easy from here as road links are less than 100 metres from the gate to the property. A great place for up to a week.

This was our first holiday for 3 years so there was a heavy weight of expectation, which the property lived up to in full. The location is wonderful, with tranquil terraces looking down to the Mediterranean. The accommodation is simple, but beautifully furnished. The playa del canuelo is lovely and even in August there was still plenty of space (although the limited number of umbrellas to rent fill up by the afternoon). The snorkeling is excellent along the rocks at the end of the beach, which has a very good restaurant (kitchen closes at 7.30, so perhaps better for lunch). A real find on the Costa del sol.

The houses are true Andalucian and hold everything one needs; the unfenced pool is challenging with a 4 year and a 2 year old but nonetheless it is a superb asset to the venue. Eventhough there is a path down to the marvelous beach and the superb lunchplace we took the 2 euro minivan down the mountain. The houses were spotlessly handed over to us by the cleaning team! PERFECT HOLIDAY IN EVERYWAY!
