Amparo is a lovely little two bedroom villa in a commanding position in the countryside between Nerja and Frigiliana. The views are quite stunning! This is a "cortijo" - a small country house owned by a local Nerja family. Traditionally they would use it for weekends and holidays; now it is completely refurbished and we are delighted to offer this pretty villa to our discerning guests. The property is situated at the end of a lane, so there is no passing traffic. Although it is some 2,35 Kms down the lane, you are not isolated and will pass many other properties on the way, testimony to the popularity of this particular area.
Because of its privileged position at the end of the lane, there is nothing in front of the property and thus the views across the hills to the sea are quite special. Below the property is an avocado plantation.
Entrance to the property is through the pretty little covered terrace. This has table and chairs, and a purpose built barbecue, ideal for those lazy al fresco meals. It is worth noting here that the barbecue forms an integral part of Andalusian life and would be used by the family for their meals when they visit their "cortijo".
The front door leads in to the cosy lounge/dining room. This is comfortably furnished and there is a wood burning stove for the cooler months. The small refurbished kitchen includes a dishwasher. The kitchen area is separated from the dining area by a "breakfast bar". From the lounge an arch goes to a tiny hall off which are the two bedrooms and the family shower room. Both bedrooms have airconditioning (6pm to 8am, 26/06/10 - 11/09/10) and there is a safe in the master bedroom.
Outside the terrace runs not only in front of the villa by the swimming pool, but also down the whole of one side of the villa. This provides plenty of space for sunbathing on the sun loungers, and of course takes full advantage of the dramatic views. Here there is also another table with chairs, perfect for breakfast, or just sitting and relaxing.
The washing machine is in a small room accessed beside the swimming pool.
The whole property is fenced and gated and would ideally suit those who are looking for a quiet Andalusian "get-away". There are some fabulous walks in the area.
