From the airport
After a twenty-minute drive, you leave the pleasant but bustling city of Málaga behind. The highway turns into a winding road up the mountain. First you have beautiful views of the Mediterranean, then the mountains take over the views. The road turns into a wide sandy path and at a height of more than five hundred meters you look out over the patchwork of the Andalusian interior, with white villages that seem to be stuck halfway up the mountainside, olive and almond trees and in the distance the karst mountains of El Torcal.
Tranquility and space at Finca Las Nuevas
When you get off at Finca Las Nuevas you can hear birds singing, crickets chirping or a moment of absolute silence. There is a serene peace that many people crave coming from a hectic life. The old era, just next to the driveway, recalls the time when grain was grown in this area. The era is a round place where the grain was dried in earlier times. Today, the hills around Finca Las Nuevas are covered with almond and olive trees.
The location
The Finca is a hundred year old farmhouse with a typical Andalusian appearance; thick walls and small windows. Various accommodations have been made in the house while retaining the old elements and the Spanish atmosphere. Every house has its own terrace or balcony. The large communal terrace offers beautiful views over the mountains of the Sierra las Nieves.
Swimming pool and hot tub with a view
Walking down the garden the swimming pool with sun beds and the hot tub beckons. The view, with the setting sun that has colored the sky in shades of orange, is breathtaking. In the evening thousands of stars sparkle in the sky in this place where it is really getting dark.
The House
Casa Carmen is one of four holiday homes that are housed in the hundred-year-old finca. It is a wonderfully spacious house.
You are on holiday with the children or together with friends. One of you wants to retire with a good book, while the others are having a nice conversation or want to play a game. What a luxury that you then have two cozy living rooms. Two large earthenware pots attract your attention when you enter the first living room. It turns out to be two and a half meter large amphoras that are partially sunk into the floor. In ancient times they kept the water here or was it wine? The sun shines through the double patio doors into the second living room. You can see the wood-burning stove from the corner sofa and look out over your large terrace and garden. If you walk down two steps, you will find yourself in the large Andalusian kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with four gas rings, oven, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge / freezer and a Senseo coffee machine, there is also a large dining table. On the first floor is a cozy bedroom with two single beds. Two steps higher you enter a spacious hall with a single bed and here is also a second toilet. At the end of the hall is a spacious room with a double bed.
Now quickly onto the terrace to enjoy the setting sun on the day bed!
The surroundings of Finca Las Nuevas
In our area you will never be bored. There is something for everyone. The culture lover will enjoy the beautiful Andalusian cities, the Moorish remains or the flamenco. Nature lovers can go out by bike or on foot to one of the many beautiful places in the area. How nice it is to sometimes not do anything at all! Relax on the beach, by a turquoise lake or just by our swimming pool with a view. If the children want something different then you can take a cooling walk through a river, make chocolate in a white mountain village, look up a water park on the coast or enjoy a nice walk with our dogs.
Pets
Our dogs are used to guests and greet you cheerfully when you arrive. They know that they are not allowed in the houses. (That is why we do not allow pets). Don't like dogs, no problem. If you don't give them attention, they won't come to you.
