Description from owner

Description

From the house there are wonderful views across a beautiful valley. The area is visited by a variety of birds, including predators, and is ideal for walking, as the weather is often cooler and less humid than on the coast. The owner, who lives nearby, is a practising artist and teacher, and offers tuition to guests in her studio. The house is equipped to a high standard. Wifi internet is free, and streaming UK tv channels is possible. There are air-conditioning/heating units in the living room and bedrooms, and an efficient wood-burning stove for the winter months. From the dining area there are excellent views through the expanse of picture windows. The lounge is tastefully furnished with comfortable sofas, dining table and chairs for five persons, television. A fold-up bed is available for a fifth guest. Throughout the property there are many original works of art painted by the owner. Abundant hot water is supplied by solar energy. Outside there is a covered pool economically heated by a combination of solar panels and a heat pump, and two terraces, linked by a path suitable for wheelchair users. Near the pool there is a large covered fully equipped pool-side kitchen with dining facilities, The terracing around two sides of the pool and the facade and floor of the kitchen is finished in locally cut natural coloured stonework. Our guests say that they have valued staying at this house not only for its facilities and the privacy afforded, but also they have enjoyed its proximity to the village by car, and visiting the many places of interest within convenient reach of the house. Malaga Airport is only 50 minutes away. Please note that guests pay a damage deposit of £250/€300 in cash on arrival; this will usually be returned in full before their final departure, so long as there are no losses outstanding. The cost of the electricity used during their stay is at a rate of £0.18/€0,20 per unit to be paid for in cash before guests depart. If guests want the pool heated to coincide with their arrival, they pay €100 in cash towards preheating the water; if the actual cost is less, they will receive a rebate.Times of arrival and departure: we will be flexible, if we can.

Getting around

Most guests arrive at Malaga Airport, and opt to hire a car to get around. There is a bus service into Malaga and into Antequera from the village, should guests prefer not to drive. Also Barry Cook will take you on excursions, as well as providing transfers from/to the airport.

Interaction with guest

I meet guests at a pre-arranged location, from where they follow me by car to the property, where I conduct a tour, and hand over the keys. Either I, or my representative, can be contacted during their stay. Either guests look at the available information held at the property, or they can ask my advice, if they require information, or have concerns.
