Relaxing and rural
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Right in the middle of a large number of orange and lemon groves, this is certainly off the beaten track. The description of the property is accurate, a good sized, well furnished cottage with lovely swimming pool and BBQ set in a well tended garden. Not overlooked by neighbours. Although the location is well away from it all and you need a car to get to the nearest facilities, the town of Alora is well connected by road and rail to Malaga and the coast as well as beautiful inland scenery such as El Chorro.
The owner is very helpful and on hand to give any advice or tips, but will leave you to get on with your holiday without interference. She even gave us a nice bag of local produce from the surrounding farms.
Overall, staying here will allow you to really get away from the built up coastline, but not feel isolated from attractions. We have two small children and successfully balanced relaxing days at the cottage, staying round the pool (which we had all to ourselves) with drives to the Natural Parks, seaside, Malaga (surprisingly attractive) and water themepark.
