Casa Herrero El Borge by Ruralidays

Widoki

Droga dojazdowa. Naprawdę hard core dla przeciętnego kierowcy.

Las camas son muy cómadas, la cocina totalmente equipada, la chimenea y la barbacoa. Recomendable si pensáis pasar allí la estancia sin salir mucho. Los dueños son superamables y puedes contar con ellos para cualquier cosa.

Pues, sinceramente la ubicación. Sabía que estaba afuera del pueblo, pero la casa está en un barranco, y aunque el dueño te acompaña a la entrada y salida, hay que tener cuidado. Para estar entrando y saliendo varias veces no lo veo.

Almost every thing.

Access road.

This charming home is set in the mountains amongst vineyards and mango trees with stunning sunrises and sunsets. It’s swimming pool is excellent, clean and very large and perfect for a large family or group and the home is very well equipped. The site gets the sun all day long and we had some special times sitting out in the shaded porch area as the evening drew in and on into the night. The air conditioning in all 4 of the bedrooms is absolutely superb. There are a number of treks and walks nearby and it is easy to walk a trail into the nearby village of El Borge and loop the roads through the village of Almáchar back to the property (in all about 7km). These nearby villages have plenty of restaurant and local tapas options. Whilst the house is rural and set in the mountains it is only 25mins to the beach or towns (Rincon de la Victoria or Velez-Malaga) which is very convenient. The owners, Matias & Pepe (Josefa) are helpful, kind and hard working locals and they helped us out at every possible time - They even bought us 2 new yoga mats to allow us practice in this stunning setting. I really recommend this rural home to those of you who would like to be a little off the beaten track (but not too far)

The final 1km road to the house is narrow and steep in parts (thankfully in our week there we didn’t meet another car at the same time as reversing could be a challenge) and there is one 10 meter section which was a little challenging for our underpowered small rental car (but we always made it up the hill:-)). In the very hot weather in July and August the main kitchen area got warm but never too hot (it doesn’t have its own air conditioning) as the traditional design of the house is made for the heat. Neither of these points would put me off going back.
