Traditional house for an authentic relaxing rural experience in real Spain

The house has beautiful uninterrupted views of the sea in the distance in front and of a dramatic uninhabited valley behind. The property has a very light and warm natural feel thanks to the natural materials that we used when we renovated it: terracotta tiles, stone floors, exposed stone walls, traditional oiled wooden doors and shutters and hand made decorative tiles used tastefully throughout. Two private terraces and a garden provide ample opportunity to enjoy the sun and views, relaxing and enjoying the quietness of the valley under the sun or in the shade of our great awning; or go inside to the open plan living/dining room and relax in front of the wood burning burning fire on a chilly winter evening. Beautiful views from absolutely EVERYWHERE. Plenty of space to enjoy the good weather and plenty of open space inside too.
Enjoy the lovely communal swimming pool in Macharaviaya, 2 minutes away, in July and August!
You can also book the tennis court in Macharaviaya!

We do not provide wood, you can buy it very nearby, I can provide details...

Please be aware that stays of 28 days or more are charged a monthly fee, and that is cheaper than per days or weeks. In these cases, the tenants will have to pay of electricity (and gas for the gas heaters and wood if used). Thanks!
We collect 90 eur as deposit for electricity per month, separatly and before arrival, and then return money not used, or ask for more if needed, but it's extremelly unlikely that more than 90 eur electricity is paid, average in winter is around 65 eur monthly or less, we have solar panels to heat water.
Long stays of 28 days or more also pay 70 eur cleaning fee instead of 55, so we will ask for the difference :-)

We accept pets, but please ASK. Pets pay 25 eur per pet and stay, but, if you stay 28 days or more, pets pay 40 eur.

Barbacue UNDER REQUEST, has an extra cost of 20 eur for cleaning.

Comfortable and relaxing
Thoroughly enjoyed saying here for two weeks, it’s comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Handy for Malaga (about 40 mins) and the nearest beach is only about 15/20 minutes away. It’s very peaceful with great views high up in the hills and with three terraces it was always possible to find sun or shade. It’s often small things which make a difference I’ve stayed in several places in Spain where the kitchen knives couldn’t cut butter; not a problem here which all helped to make for an enjoyable stay. Would be happy to make a return visit sometime in the future.

quiet, private, and yet not too far from the Malaga airport
We had a lovely couple of days at La Cala Del Moral. We wanted a break from the hectic parts of travel and this place provided just that. The village is off the beaten track but has a wonderful view of the Mediterranean. The house itself is charming, homey and fully equipped. A couple of different vans arrived each day in the neighborhood to provide provisions, so it was not necessary to go into town. It was a perfect retreat!

Maison typique sobre avec terrasses agréables
Maison agréable et rustique située dans un village perché avec vue imprenable depuis les terrasses. Toute fois environnement un peu bruyant le soir. Depuis Benaque nous avons visité Malaga,Grenade et Nerja...à ne pas manquer. La plage la plus proche et la plus sympa est à Rincon de la Victoria avec ses sardines et autres poissons à la broche. Mais la station balnéaire à ne pas rater est Nerja ( grande plage plusieurs criques ,vue imprenable sur le balcon de l"Europe, petites rues commerçantes typiques) La piscine de Macharaviaya est bien agreable et l'accueil sympathique . Pour les visites culturelles voir Malaga et bien sûr Grenade.

belle location à l'abri de l'agitation de la côte et proche plage
Une maison de village dans les collines au dessus de la côte, à 15/20 minutes de la plage. La maison n'est pas climatisée mais nous avons été agréablement surpris par la douceur des soirées dans les collines. Visite de Grenade, à,1h30 par la route, plongée à Nerja, vieille ville et musée Picasso à Malaga, randonnées dans le parc de El Torgal et au Camino del Rey, il n'y a pas que la plage sur la costa del sol, même si baignade quotidienne obligée avec les enfants !

Certainement encore mieux l' été au vu de la situation de la maison au milieu des oliviers et avocatiers Dommage qu'elle soit difficile à chauffer

Ruhige Ferienwohnung abseits vom Massentourismus! Klasse!
Wir waren mit der Ferienwohnung sehr zufrieden. Sie ist etwas abseits von der Costa del Sol gelegen und somit fern vom Massentourismus. Die Ferienwohnung ist für einen Urlaub voll ausreichend ausgestattet. Vielen Dank an unsere Vermieterin Eva!

Wunderschönes stilsicheres restauriertes Freienhaus
Ein idyllisches Bergdorf, wunderschön gelegen mit bezaubernden Blick auf das Meer, Mangoplantagen und eine beeindruckende Kirche.. In diesem stillen Bergdorf mit seinen freundlichen Menschen, kann man sich sehr gut von dem ganzen Alltagsstress erholen. Die Versorgung durch die täglichen Vans und zahlreiche Supermärkte am Meer ist sehr gut und einfach. Die Gegend lädt zu Ausflügen, Wanderungen und Radfahren ein. Das Haus selbst hat grosszügige Räume, Bäder und vor allem 3 sehr schöne Terassen, wo man sich zu jeder Tageszeit sonnen kann. Es werden 2 unvergessliche Monate sein, die wir dort verbracht haben. Einen lieben Dank an die Besitzerin, die für alles ein offenes Ohr hat, wenn Fragen offen sind. Barbara K.

Zauberhaft
Wer Stille und Schönheit und Freundlichkeit sucht, ist hier richtig: Ein Haus, das stilsicher restauriert ist, in dem alles da ist, was der Mensch braucht, 3 Terrassen, Meerblick in der Ferne, 3 Schlafzimmer, 2 Bäder, dazu ein ganz stilles Dorf inmitten schönster Landschaft, Blicke aufs Meer, auf die Mangoplantage, ins bergige Land. Freundliche Menschen, eine beeindruckende Kirche. Die Versorgung durch die täglichen Vans oder die Supermärkte an der Küste ist einfach. Wir waren glücklich.
