This impressive Andalucian farmhouse, located in an elevated position, amongst olive and almond groves, has the most stunning views. Overlooking the valley, across white-washed villages, the scenery stretches across to the Tejeda mountain range. The farmhouse has been a family home for many years and in the process, has been lovingly restored yet has retained many of the original features. The rooms all have the traditional beamed ceilings, many with terracotta floor tiles, open fire places/wood burning stoves, decorative wrought iron lights and beautiful wooden doors. 'Modern' and 'comfort' have been carefully introduced. The outside of the property has extensive patios/seating area around the pool, gardens abundant with trees and flowers, BBQ and covered dining area for eating alfresco. Colmenar has good bars, restaurants, local market, banks etc. Historic Granada and Malaga, cosmopolitan Marbella and Nerja, beaches and shopping centres are all an easy drive.

We endured many years of toil, manana syndrome, heat, frustration, situations lost in translation.....you've heard it all in the novels! We now run our own exclusive property rental business here in this spectacular region. We have a selection of beautiful properties to suit most peoples' requirements, with private pools, gardens and fabulous views.
It was worth it , sometimes we even squeeze a little time to enjoy the sunshine, relaxing way of life and fabulous regional cuisine....and vino!
Our extensive knowledge of the area we also pass on to clients to ensure they have a wonderful time.
