Spacious sunny traditional village house with sea views

This is a lovely, well-equipped house in a convenient location for the bars, restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and there is even a small second kitchen on the terrace with a sink, kettle and fridge which is very convenient and saves going up and down stairs for drinks, etc. We had a very enjoyable stay here.

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine à Torrox, un charmant village typique d'Andalousie à 5 km de la mer. La maison est charmante, très bien équipée et décorée avec goût. Elle est très spacieuse avec son rez-de-chaussée et ses trois étages ce qui laisse à chacun une part d'intimité. Par contre, il ne faut pas avoir peur de grimper les étages ! La vue sur la mer est magnifique au niveau des deux terrasses. Bonne humeur garantie dès le petit déjeuner ! L'ambiance à Torrox est charmante et très conviviale. Nous avons eu l'honneur d'assister à la fête du village (procession de la vierge, danses andalouses..). Le village est plein de vie tout au long de la journée sans être bruyant et le petit magasin chinois au bas de la rue nous permet d'acheter pour deux sous tout type d'objet qu'on a oublié. Il y a de belles plages à Torrox et à Nerja avec une faune marine fantastique dans le parc naturel. La région est très bien desservie par les autoroutes (presque toutes gratuites !) nous permettant de rejoindre facilement Grenade, Ronda ou même Cadix. Elaine est charmante, elle répond très rapidement à vos questions et nous a fourni un document complet sur la propriété quelques jours avant notre séjour. Un très bon choix de propriété...

I booked a last minute holiday to this property with a plan for myself and my 2 teenage children to take a well deserved break from work and A Levels. Eager to experience true Spanish life in a typical hillside village we considered ourselves incredibly lucky to discover Elaine's beautiful 4 story house nestled amongst a labyrinth of tiny streets and whitewashed buildings. With 2 roof terraces benefitting from full sun all day long it was the perfect place to relax. The house is well equipped and is very welcoming, homely and spacious. With 3 bathrooms, and bedrooms on 3 floors it will easily accommodate 6 people. Sympathetically furnished and brimming with Spanish features, tiled floors and staircases round every corner, it has plenty of character. Centrally located within the village, it is easy to access the indoor market, bakers, tabacconist, supermarket and general stores. The main plaza is literally at the bottom of the street with good restaurants and bars which are very reasonable. We found a good outdoor market where we stocked up on fresh fruit and veg for the entire week (only on Mondays). Torrox Pueblo has an interesting history of its own and it's definitely worth taking off into the maze of streets/steps/pathways and allowing yourself to get lost within the beautifully painted walls and vibrant colours of the flowers and plants that grow in abundance in Torrox, 'The best Climate in Europe'. The coast is also worth exploring and if you don't have a car (you don't need one) the local buses run up and down from the coast regularly (but keep your eye on the time as the last buses in the week return at about 7pm) after that you will have to rely on taxis. For buses to and from Malaga airport, it would be worth checking times on the internet as we found the bus timetables could be incorrect/misleading. There is a laptop at the house for such things, although communicating with Elaine was easy and she was ever-helpful and quick to answer any queries via email. I have already recommended this property to several friends, although I would suggest it wasn't suitable for elderly people. Personally, I would return without question...for longer next time hopefully!

Das Objekt ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, leider lief im unteren Schlafzimmer Wasser aus der Steckdose, wenn auf der Terrasse das Wasser genutzt wurde. Auch wäre es gut, wenn es eine genaue Beschreibung gegeben hätte, dass keine Parkmöglichkeiten direkt am Haus sind. Die vielen Stufen im Haus müssten in der Beschreibung erwähnt werden und das ein Schlafzimmer schon sehr hellhörig ist. Die Nähe der Geschäfte und Restaurants war sehr gut.
