The house is ideal for two families sharing, there is space for everyone to be together; but also space for privacy. There are magnificent views all around the house. The west facing views of distant hills offer spectacular sunsets. The house is perfect for a 'get-away-from-it-all' holiday. The house is divided into two areas: the North House and South House. The main living space in the North House is very large: it is L-shaped, with a spacious sitting room and kitchen that seats 12 people. On one side it opens out into a beautiful, walled courtyard garden, and on the other to the west facing terrace. The South House has 3 bedrooms and its own kitchen and sitting room. The pool is circular and 6mtrs in diameter. Sunloungers with mattresses, towels and beach towels are provided. The house was owned by the writer Miranda Innes, whose successful book 'getting to Manaña' describes the restoration of the house and life in the area. Before you come we will send you a free copy of the book.

Guest comments
"An outstanding holiday location not too far from Malaga and within reach of local towns. The property is fitted out to the highest standard. With views to die for, extraordinary sunsets and the relaxing sounds of goats bells and the gentle breeze in the almond groves this is the place to take a step back from the rush of busy lives and "get a life" again. We have visited 3 times and cannot wait to go back to this delightful family friendly place with its pool and lovely cared for gardens. The final tick in the box of success is the support from Casa Miranda's local agent who is friendly, helpful and for whom nothing is too much trouble." Bray family, Surrey.
"We spent a truly fantastic week here at the end of August. The pool area and the view were the real highlights. The location is breathtaking, the villa is high up in the mountains and the view around is tremendous. There is plenty to do in the area - Antequera is beautiful, and El Torcal is fascinating." Tom P, Kemble
