About this villa rental
Algarrobo Azul is situated less than 10 kilometers from the Mediterranean, on an altitude of 450 meters over the lively town of Almuñécar. It is a tastefully renovated cortijo, equipped with everything you need for a care-free holiday: a large pool (10x3,5 meters), lovely bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and boxspring beds, an ample salon and several terraces all around (and on top!) to be able to enjoy the wonderful views at any time: sea, mountains and stars. The house has its own well-equipped kitchen but if you don't want to cook, you can enjoy our table d'hôte service too.
The surroundings are an open invitations to various outdoor activities: right at our gate you can take long walks or hikes, go off-road cycling in our Sierra de Almijara nature park, or you can decide to stay 'home' and relax near the pool or any other terrace to enjoy the quiet and singing birds. Lively cities like Málaga and Granada are only an hours' drive away while lively Almuñécar below boasts of several beaches, numerous restaurants and even more bars as well as a pleasant centre. There is a daily farmers market, a busy weekly market as well as an (out-of-season) Sunday morning flea market. Close by you can play golf, dive or even ski in winter and literally everywhere you'll come across remnants of the interesting Andalucían history. For those who still want more, Algarrobo Azul can also offer creative and culinary workshops in collaboration with local makers.
And when the days end, stories are shared underneath our age-old Algarrobo (carob tree).
The climate is lovely year-round: summers don't get too hot with average temperatures of around 32 degrees, while even in winter you can enjoy usually outdoor breakfasts!

If you are looking for great hosts and a quiet, beautiful retreat in the countryside which is decorated with much love for interior details you will absolutely adore this place. It is situated in a fantastic landscape setting with view to the sea and an open sky with a multitude of stars visible at night. On top of all the cuddly, friendly dog soon felt like a family member. Highly recommended! Don’t miss!

We really enjoyed the 2 weeks at this house. There was everything we needed for our family and the dog, beautifully designed rooms, where you can see and feel that this was made with love and not just to meet its purpose.
The bathrooms are very modern as well as the bedrooms. The kitchen has all it needs, the only thing we missed was an oven, since we realized how much food we apparently actually prepare in an oven. But we used the outside BBQ/grill instead.
We enjoyed the pool as it was still warm enough during October.
The road to the house had different ratings in our family, as one of my boys does not enjoy winding rads as much, and there are 8km of such before getting to the house from Amunecar and my mother in law was a bit frightened of this road. But I did not think it was that bad. And having this ride far away from the city actually provides with the silence we were looking for, as you actually hear nothing but one or the other cricket, when sitting outside in the evening.
From here we explored the places you can reach within 1,5 hours by car, such as Granada or Malaga.
Gerry was very helpful whenever we needed something and provided good recommendations for our day trips. She was also find when we left our dog at the house for one or the other trip, which also gave everyone a better feeling leaving him back there for a few hours.
All in all, an enjoyable stay. You need to be ok with small winding streets, but we found exactly what we were looking for.

Espectacular casa, casi en lo más alto de una de las laderas que rodean Almuñecar. La casa es sencillamente maravillosa. Con una piscina estupenda, la casa tiene 3 preciosas habitaciones con cama de matrimonio, aire acondicionado y baño propio todas ellas en la planta de arriba (Ruiseñor, Mochuelo y Golondrinas) y una pequeña pero más que suficiente cocina americana junto a un gran salon donde descansar, con un sofá convertible donde pueden dormir otras 2 personas en la planta de abajo. Desde la cama al despertar se ve el mar desde dos de las habitaciones. Eso sí, la carretera para acceder es de las que quitan el hipo. Hay que ir muy muy despacio y nada de alcohol encima porque necesitas todos los sentidos para circular por ella. Estrecha, asfalto irregular y mejor no mirar a los lados....
Aún así, merece mucho la pena subir para disfrutar de esta preciosa villa. El trayecto, aunque corto, lleva 15 minutos para llegar al centro urbano de Almuñecar y la playa. Mención especial a Gerry, que encantada nos ayudó en todo. Siempre con una sonrisa y una amabilidad inmensa, acompañada de su perrita y que vive en la casa anexa, pero no resta para nada intimidad y es una tranquilidad saber que está ahí para lo que puedas necesitar. En fin, la casa y Gerry merecen cada una de las 5 estrellas porque no les puedo dar 6. Podría seguir escribiendo, pero necesitaría demasiado espacio.... Si buscáis un sitio bonito, agradable, y tranquilo para descansar de tanta playa y ver las estrellas en las noches despejadas, sin duda este es el lugar....Tranquilidad y privacidad en estado puro. Heel erg bedankt, Gerry. Het was leuk je te ontmoeten
