Villanueva de la Concepcion holiday villa

How to describe such an amazing place in only 2500 characters?! Everything about our holiday experience at the Finca was fantastic - even before and after the holiday!

Andrea is a gem at making sure everything is taken care of with the booking, from the initial lovely phone call describing the house to the super-speedy return of the security deposit. Such a pleasure to deal with, her passion for the Finca and making sure we didn’t need for anything was just one of the reasons we will certainly return.

The house and setting is beautiful, inside and out. The décor is so clean and modern, with beautiful little touches that really make you feel at home. The welcome pack being just one of them - after the flying and driving (which is only about an hour from Malaga and very easy), the beer and wine left for us was a sweet gesture – and hit the spot!
There is absolutely nothing about the house we could fault. Everything has been thought of, even a dishwasher and ceiling fans!

We spent most of our time reading on the terrace, enjoying the sunshine on the loungers or relaxing in the pool on the lilo Andrea has left for guests. The Finca is totally private, we weren’t disturbed once whilst there. You can just sit and watch the neighbours far away going about their business in the hills and listen to the sounds of the goats as they’re herded up for milking.

Villaneueva de la Concepcion (15 min drive) has most of what you need in a few basic supermarkets and a bread shop but we ventured into Antequera (45 min drive) a couple of times to stock up the large fridge back at the house with a wider selection. We took in the delights of Churros and chocolate whilst in town too. El Torcal national park is in between the two towns and well worth a visit. We left it until about 5pm, when the sun wasn’t as hot. Flip flops aren’t ideal, so wear something a little sturdier.

One of the best parts of the holiday was the star-gazing we did each night. Lying on a lounger, with a glass of wine looking up at the stars and satellites and even seeing some shooting stars is a memory I’ll hold dear.

All in all, we had a perfect time, at a perfect location. We highly recommend this place as a holiday destination, for all groups of people – young and old. If you’re after buzzing nightlife, this isn’t for you. But if you’re after the most relaxing time in very pleasurable surroundings, you should book now!

Very beautiful house, with great views in the Andalusia hills. The house is equipped with very nice furniture. We spend a lot of time in the private pool, and every evening we were scouting for the Sheppard and his goats. The kids like to explorer the surroundings ruins, hunting lizards, and the games/toys Andrea had left for them. The house is close to the highway and Airport. But it’s very quite with almost no sound to disturb the peace. The small village nearby can supply you with basics foods, otherwise where is a bigger supermarket in 30-40 minutes drive. (Antequera or Colmenar)
If you want to sightseeing, we can recommend: Granada, Ronda and Malaga. And a visit to the wolf park, just 25 minutes drive away, is highly recommendable.
The owner, Andrea is the perfect host. She is very friendly and the description she made of the house and the view is everything and more. Thanks for being such a nice and honestly person.
Even after almost 3 weeks in Finca Chimeneas, we really didn’t want to leave.

The Finca is just as described - a fantastic private hideaway where you can do as little or as much as you please. We chose to stay almost exclusively at the property relaxing in the sun by the pool reading, eating, drinking, just watching the world go slowly by with the farmers tending their land and goat herds occasionally clanging their way up or down the valley.
Communication with Andrea the owner was effortless from my initial call to her, to subsequent contact from her via email and text to ensure all was well. Everything went without the slightest hitch - I only wish holidays booked through more well known outlets were as straight forward and hassle free as this!
Finca Chimeneas is a credit to the owners' hard work and diligence, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat where they can get away from it all in a bit of style.
The only problem we had was leaving - one week just wasn't enough!
