This beautiful village house has been lovingly restored to retain all the features of a traditional Spanish home - wooden beams, terra cotta floors and open fireplace. The house comprises a large (20 m2) fully equipped kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, from where a flight of stairs lead up to the open plan, comfortably furnished living room, which has a sofa bed. A few steps up take you to the bathroom, with full sized bath and a large, separate shower cubicle. A few steps more lead to the large (20 m2), light and airy bedroom with built-in wardrobe and wooden floor. From the bedroom there is a further flight of stairs up to the spectacular sun room and terrace with wonderful views of the lush valley and the blue Mediterranean. The sun room also has a wooden floor and is equipped with its own fridge, crockery, pots and pans, with cooking facilities on the terrace.

Spanish home
Beautiful traditional Spanish house in a small village, communal pool €3 staff & bar they’re lovely. Another 4 bar/ restaurants in the village Drive from motorway to the village isn’t for the fainted hearted, Village itself is traditional but very hilly Welcome host Margot was so welcoming & owner Jennifer was very accommodating & quick to respond to any questions we had. If in this area again we would definitely stay again. A true hidden gem

Perfect Cozy accommodation
Great accommodation for a quiet stay. The additional top floor kitchen and terrace is where we spent most of the time. Views of the village, the mountains and on a clear day the mountains in Morocco. Excellent location for hiking in the mountains. And a fantastic sunset with a “sun downer” from the roof terrace. The village is quiet. Shopping available and a few restaurants. Try the one next to the village pool. You’ll be surprised about the quality of the food. A very nice welcome present was waiting for us. Communication with and information from the owner was excellent.

Fabulous location, great views, friendly people - wonderful vacation.
The house is very charming and the view from the rooftop terrace is breathtaking! Canillas de Albaida is a delightful mountain town and the people are friendly and helpful. There was a lovely and appreciated welcome basket with fruits, breads, wine, chocolates etc. The house is spacious and the bed is super comfortable. We stayed for six weeks and the place had everything we needed – cooking equipment, linens, cleaning supplies, you name it. We were fortunate with the weather (for the most part) and there’s lots of hiking to be done right from the village. A short drive in pretty much any direction offers even more hiking opportunities – mountains, old villages, rivers, hanging bridges and much more. Both Jennifer and Margot were very easy to communicate with, they were both quick to respond and provided great information.

Another great stay
We last stayed at Jennifer’s place in 2018 and was great to return to area after the pandemic ! The property was as we remembered and local host, Margot was helpful. We liked to spend time on the roof terrace. It was nice to find our favourite restaurants, bars and shops in village and nearby Competa as welcoming as ever. We got out to do lots of local walks and walked to Competa a few times along track through olive trees and avocado bushes. We look forward to returning in future

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gelfgren

Host profile image
I have lived in Spain for nearly 40 years, but recently moved to Sweden with my husband. We bought this lovely village house a few years ago as our base in Spain, but we only manage to get out three or four times a year. Renting out to holiday makers looking for rest and recreation in beautiful surroundings is the perfect way to keep the house alive.

Why they chose this property

We knew exactly what we were looking for when we started to look for a house in Spain: Malaga, because I lived there for many years; a village house, so we can walk to local shops, restaurants and bars; and the Axarquia, because it one of the most beautiful regions in Malaga, near enough to our friends in the capital. The house had already been beautifully renovated by an English designer using traditional materials, and I didn´t have to change anything.

What makes this property unique

I had already fallen in love with the house from the photos I saw on the estate agent´s website, and I was delighted to find that it was exactly as shown. I walked through the cosy kitchen, up the stairs to the spacious sitting room, then to the beautiful bathroom, from there to the large bedroom with its raised wooden floor and built-in wardrobe, and then up the final flight of stairs to the glorious sun room with its stunning views over the sea. I never had a second thought!
