Casa La Yedra Algarrobo by Ruralidays

The view at the property is fabulous! There is a building site just at the bottom of the hill, but they only work between 10am and 9pm (With a siesta). The pool is the main highlight of the property, it really is brilliant to relax in. The BBQ is a little out dated but really adds to the charm and simple to use. The property is gated and automatically opens and closes.

The hill on the way up to the property is honestly a horrible experience to go up and down. If you're not an extremely confident driver on VERY steep hills, I would avoid. I'd also recommend an automatic car if hiring from the airport. We had a horrendous time and we have been driving over 10 years. This has put us off ever returning to the property. Due to the hill being such an issue, you cannot walk to any bars/restaurants. So please do not book if you want to walk to a nice bar and have a drink. YOU NEED TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE. The property is very out dated. There was random bits of electrical equipment and tatt in most of the draws, which made it feel unclean. Handles for cupboards came off in your hand. I had to message to get oven trays for the kitchen, so I was unable to cook one night, which wasn't ideal. The person who showed us to the property did not check in once, even though they had to physically help us drive to the property. I found this to be shocking! Especially as they knew how scared we were of the drive. I know that there was a language barrier, but this doesn't stop you messaging and using a translator app. No aircon in the main living area. The seating outside needs updating. Bring plenty of bug spray, we were bitten lots! Ensure it's the strongest stuff too. The showers leaked in both bathrooms, leaving you to mop up the water using the outdated towels that were provided. Overall, the view and pool were the saving grace of a holiday that we desperately needed. The surrounding areas are rich with brilliant towns such as Malaga, Granada, Nerja and Torre Del Mar.
