Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves and commanding stunning views across the Guadalhorce Valley down to Malaga and the Mediterranean. Casa Limonero is a charming two bedroomed village house in the heart of the pretty pueblo blanco of Casarabonela. The property has recently been fully renovated to appeal to guests but retains its special character. Spacious, bright and comfortable
accommodation is complemented by a large roof terrace commanding incredible views across the Guadalhorce Valley down to Málaga and the Mediterranean. Please be aware that this is a typical village house with steep, narrow stairs unsuitable for children or individuals with restricted mobility. Furthermore the two bedrooms, although entirely independent, are interlinked thus access to one is via the other, which is not uncommon in rural village houses. Parking is available at the nearby municipal car park from which it is a short walk to the property. There is no TV at the property, but there is fibre internet so feel free to bring your own device for streaming . There is a bluetooth speaker to stream music from your mobile library. Heating and cooling is provided via portable devices - floor standing fans and a gas stove/oil filled radiators. Casa Limonero is a non-smoking property. The two bedrooms both have king size (150cm) beds with Egyptian cotton bedlinen. Quality towels are also provided. The fully equipped kitchen includes all the domestic appliances large and small, and there is a further fridge at roof terrace level for those all important cooling beverages. Casarabonela is such a refreshing change from the congestion of the coast and offers the opportunity for guests to experience a small Andalusian town surrounded by staggeringly beautiful countryside. You will find everyone so friendly and welcoming. Small we may be, but our heart is large! You can stumble out of the front door and straight into the bakery for the freshest possible bread and later take a few steps further for tapas at bar-restaurant Tomate Algo where Juan and his family will look after you and serve delicious, freshly prepared food. Check out the menú del día - three courses for 10 euros! Such value is characteristic of small, traditional villages like this and you will not be disappointed with the choice on offer. Casarabonela is typical pueblo blanco with its origins in Moorish Spain, the remnants of which can still be seen in the castle ruins and the old Arabic Quarter. The municipality is home to 2,500 citizens, many of whom live in the surrounding countryside where local agriculture focuses on olives (and truly exceptional extra virgin olive oil), citrus fruit and almonds. The pueblo is a working Spanish town well served by amenities (two banks, a pharmacy, butcher, fishmonger, mini market, health centre, multiple bars and restaurants) and also boasts one of the most beautiful municipal piscinas in all of Andalucía! Set against a backdrop of the mountains, the pool is allied to an amazing Argentinian barbecue restaurant offering the best views in the village. Truly Casarabonela has it all, and being only 40 minutes from the airport and the beaches of the Costa del Sol it makes for the perfect away-from-it-all break without driving for hours to get there. Easy access to Córdoba, Seville, Granada, the Sierra Nevada, the Caminito del Rey, El Chorro gorge, Ardales lakes, Ronda, and please do not overlook the truly wonderful Málaga city itself. Málaga is not just an airport! Enjoy.
