We had a wonderful week at the house and (finally) achieved our personal holy grail - a small villa with a gorgeous view and walking distance of restaurants and bars
My wife and I recently stayed at Casa De Flores and had a really enjoyable stay. The house is situated in a stunning location overlooking the village of Archez and the surrounding hills.
There is absolutely everything you require and more. Great communication from the owner. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to go back in the future.
Communication beginning to end was so professional, timely and helpful. The villa is beautiful and the views wonderful. Absolutely everything you need for a stay is on tap at la casa de flores. 20/10 fantastic!
Our third year here. Lovely property, lovely location, lovely hosts. It’s always kept up to date and really couldn’t be bettered easily. Perfect combination of price and facilities. Visit.
Very private property in a lovely village. Good location to visit surrounding white villages and only half an hour from nearest beaches. Lovely walks in surrounding area and a good few restaurants to choose from in surrounding villages if you are there for a longer period of time. Would highly recommend staying here.
Communication with Margaret prior to going was great, lots of helpful information received. The villa and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The most perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle! Archez is very pretty and has a few bars and an amazing restaurant, Venta El Curro, which we were told is the best restaurant in the area. It was great as we were able to walk there, which only took five minutes. There is a stunning walk way just a few minutes from the villa to the next village, which was just breathtaking. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends and family and will most definitely be returning!
We had the most chilled out stay in this lovely villa up on a hillside in Archez. The villa has everything you could need ( including English TV channels), it’s great for that get away from it all and just relax type of holiday.
When we arrived we found it as described and everything was prepared for us. The communication with the host worked out very well, she responded more less immediately. We would highly recommend this holiday home.
Excellent villa in a quite location overlooking Archez. The villa is well equipped and comfortable set in lush gardens. The pool is well maintained and ideal for splashing around in and having fun.
The road up to the villa is very steep and you need a car and be willing to drive on Spanish mountain roads.
This is perfect for a quite getaway and a relaxing holiday.
Margaret owner of the La Casa de Flores was most helpful from making the initial booking of her villa, right through to pre arrival and the period of our holiday. Her communication was excellent. In short a beautiful villa in a peaceful relaxing location.
We will definitely come back. We loved it all, the house the friendly owner, the village and the lovely restaurants. The only reason why we are glad to be home is our own bed. It was a bit to small for us, although romantic 😉
Private, well-equipped, clean and modern villa with great views
Family of fours stayed for a week. Had a fab time. Pool was great - not massive but big/deep enough for four adults to have fun. Fantastic views over the nearby valley and villages. The villa is very private not overlooked by anyone. Árchez is a beautiful village with a few restaurants and bars. The owner (Margaret) is easy to communicate, very helpful with lots of great advice. All and all, we had a great family holiday in La Casa De Flores.
We had ten very relaxing days at La Casa de Flores which is a lovely very well kept property perched on the hillside overlooking Archez. Very easy to relax on the veranda with a glass of wine watching the birds, views (and chameleon). Lovely walks take you to the two neighbouring towns of Canillas de Albaida and Competa, both with plenty of bars and restaurants. Thank you Margaret for your help and great communication - we’re already looking forward to a return visit!
We have just returned from our two week stay at this lovely holiday house.
We had a great time. The property has everything you could wish for. The new addition of air con was great, as we had very high temperatures.
The house is in a lovely location, with bars, restaurants and shops all nearby.
We hired a car and visited lots of the surrounding villages and towns.
Margaret was a brilliant host, with lots of helpful advice.
We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone,
Thanks
We booked a week's stay at La Casa de Flores at the end of October/beginning of November 2022.
The property owner (Margaret) could not have been more responsive to my queries or helpful with her advice, both before and during our stay.
The property itself is very well equipped and comfortable throughout.
We had a lovely time and really enjoyed our stay. It was pretty much everything we were hoping for: good accommodation, fine, warm weather, lovely walks, and all the many and various pleasures of Spanish rural life.
Many thanks.

A Wonderful Find on Owners Direct
Have just returned from a 10 day stay and already wishing we were still there. Having had villas for the past 25 years this was certainly the cleanest which can make such a difference to the start of a holiday, it had everything you would want for a comfortable stay. The outside areas were especially beautiful either for the sun lover or for people who prefer shade and you can never get tired of the view. Excellent care and information from Margaret from start to finish and would without question recommend to family and friends, certainly on our wish list to return. Thank you Margaret and Family for allowing us to share your stunning home.

Idyllic location
Beautiful property with everything you would need for a perfect holiday. The outside space was beautiful with amazing views over the villages and countryside. Normally the climate is a bit less intense, heat-wise, in September but we stayed during a heatwave with temperatures in the 40s! Air-conditioning would have been a nice addition but the lack of it did not spoil our time at Casa de Flores (we slept outside on the terrace!). Would recommend this to people who like the outdoors as the walking around Archez is fabulous, just time it for when the weather is not too hot!
This is our second stay at at this villa. Very comfortable and relaxing holiday in the beautiful peaceful village of Archez. The house and garden is well kept, as is the pool which is regularly maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and all windows are secured with mosquito screens. Since our last visit air conditioning has been installed. The terrace has a comfortable seating area perfect to watch the sunrise or relax in the evening, there are also two outside dining tables and a bbq. The owner Margaret was helpful with her advice before and during our stay. Great base for visiting surrounding villages with a superb choice of restaurants. A five minute walk down the road you will find an outstanding steakhouse, cafe bar and small shop. Thank you Margaret and Brian for sharing your home with us

Fantastic villa in quiet location
Ideal location for a totally relaxing holiday. Fantastic pool and wonderful views from the seating areas. Nice sized bedrooms and bathroom. Fully equipped kitchen and comfy sofas.
We spent most of our time at the villa with a couple of days out in nearby Nerja and Cómpeta. The walk into the village is a short stroll down the hill and the 3 open bars/ restaurants are within 5 minutes walk. There is a 4th restaurant on the hill leading out to Canillas but you need to check that it is open before setting off.
The newly open vegan restaurant Meson Mudejar is highly recommended (we are not vegans but the food tastes exceptional and a must is the chickpea curry and the cheesecake!! ). If you prefer meat then go to the Venta el Curro at the bottom of the hill.
Really good communication with the owners at all times.
Our second stay. Last year it was very (as in very very) hot. The veranda and pool are cooling and perfect to stay put if it gets too much. This year we had two days of terrible storms and 3 good days of warm weather. The property faces the sun in the morning and this helps warm everything up quickly. So you can dip in the pool. When the lightening and thunderstorms appeared we could watch them skirt the Valley from our high vantage point. This year we decided to eat-in more and cook with local ingredients and the kitchen was fine for that. And there’s a teapot! But there’s plenty of local places to eat too. In short it is a home from home high in the Spanish hills. You can’t go wrong with this one.
We chose a property for its location near more than one Spanish village, as well as a location for exploring walking and hiking trails. The house was perfect for 2 and in a most interesting location! The road from the A7 up and we mean up to Archez was high and curvy. One really had to concentrate because the views were incredible, and for the driver there is no sight-seeing. To be fair you can stay in the area of Archez without a vehicle, as the walking is beautiful between the villages and really you can get all the supplies you need between the three towns - Archez, Canillas de Albaida, and Cómpeta. You must be quite fit though to navigate the steep hills on foot and roadway up to the house very steep (but on the plus side, a short climb). We loved La Casa de Flores for views it afforded down onto the town of Archez and up to Canillas de Albaida and across the narrow valley. This was truly a home away from home!
We have just returned from a brilliant 2 week stay at this lovely house. The house is in the quiet village of Archez and is situated on a hill overlooking the village. This gives great views of Archez, the nearby village of Cannillas de Albiada plus fantastic views of the nearby mountains. The house has everything you need with a fantastic pool and floral gardens and is very private. We hired a car for the holiday and there is loads to see in the nearby area. Along with lazy days around the pool and nights in the porch, we visited Torrox, Torre del Mar, Nerja, Frigiliana all an easy drive plus the nearby villages of Cannillas de Albiada, Competa and Salares. We also had an overnight stay in Granada and visited the magnificent Alhambra. The host Margaret was amazing throughout and gave us loads of information with quick responses and advice from booking the house pre-Covid in February 2020 through to our eventual stay in August 2022 - it was well worth the wait! We would recommend this house and would love to return in the next couple of years.
