Notes on accommodation
The house is comfortably furnished and maintained by a British couple who have lived in the area for 6 years. This house is a fantastic base for all types of holidaymakers. There is horse riding, tennis and mountain biking available locally as well as some of the best restaurants in Andalucia. Mountain bikes can be hired locally, if you are hiring bikes for one week or more, the company will deliver them and uplift them from our villa. The area is a walker's paradise and there is a walking guide to the area in the house for reference. Guided walks of the area with an experienced local guide are available from November to April. Pool open from April to end of October. For serious shoppers there are 2 major shopping complexes within an easy drive.

The house is accessed through double metal gates, with parking for 1 car outside the gates. There is one small step up to the porch and the house inside is all on one level. The village can be accessed on foot via a newly laid road with pavements and streetlights.

Less than 10 minutes drive on tarmac road takes you straight into the centre of Competa. Everything you could need for country living but with easy access to village life on foot or by car. Wonderful outside space with glorious established gardens. As you come through the double gates we think you will love the sight of the private pool surrounded by 2000 square metres gardens, avocado trees and terraces covered in jasmine and bougainvillea. The terraces go on and on round the house and around corners to give you private seating areas at different levels both in sun and shade. There are mature trees and plants including lemon, orange, almond and figs and there's no problem reaching out to pick an avocado for lunch! The pool and garden are well equipped with sun loungers, dining and coffee tables and chairs.

Guest comments
"La Casa de Flores was lovely, for us (we are both walkers)
perfect location and super being able to walk into the village. Great that there was plenty of morning sun and if you need be plenty of shade to move into. The house was super, we love the area and I am sure we will visit again"
"Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time staying at your villa. It was very comfortable and safe for the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and the views from the villa we were also very lucky with the weather during the week. I am sure we will return at some point in the future but in the meantime I am happy to recommend to family and friends."
With all this bad weather how I wish we were back at Casa de Flores! We had such a lovely time there, our highlights being... the pool, outdoor living on the terraces, the smell of jasmine, eating fresh figs, making lemonade with just fallen lemons, the village with la Pena and the helpful English waitress Gracie.
