We are Canadians who have moved from the heritage home we restored in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lunenburg to the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. We have been escaping the Canadian winters for the past eight years, staying in El Capistrano in Nerja. After renting different properties, it was a wonderful opportunity to buy this Villa, which we named Casa Nova. As we live in Canada from the spring until the early winter, we are happy to make Casa Nova available to others who are visiting this beautiful part of the Costa del Sol. Fortunately, we have the assistance of the team at Nerja Villas Capistrano, a well established local agency, who take care of Casa Nova -- and our guests -- on our behalf. All the best, Kiloran German and Elizabeth Fowler.

We love El Capistrano because it is perfectly located -- by the mountains, the sea, and the town of Nerja, which is an easy drive from Granada, Seville, Cordoba, Ronda, Malaga and all the other fabulous places of Andalucia. We first visited El Capistrano over 25 years ago, and were struck then by the beauty of the design of the urbanization and the gardens and pool areas, which are exceptional. We love to play tennis (and the courts are a stone's throw away), go for hikes, enjoy the tapas bars and beaches of Nerja, and explore the towns and villages nearby.

Casa Nova is in the heart of El Capistrano Village -- near the shop and pools, parking and tennis. We love the views from the terraces and the privacy of our garden. The living and dining rooms are spacious and airy, and we enjoy two ensuite bathrooms, a dishwasher and main floor washing machine and WC, central heating in the winter and air conditioning for the summer. We have taken great pleasure in upgrading and adding amenities that we ourselves sought when we rented other properties -- new bathrooms, new furnishings, an expanded main terrace and master bedroom, new windows (including stained glass) with screens, new floor tiles, art work, a new sitting area in the garden and, with the installation of a new kitchen in 2014, the transformation of Casa Nova is complete!
