Photos and Description of this Cartama holiday cabin Villa (4) & Cabin (2) each private with own pool in secluded mountain location

Finca Cencerrita 8 acres of secluded almond farm. The villa (2 bedrooms each with ensuite facilities) has a private mountain side pool, outside hot tub, BBQ area, shady pergolas, sun roof + incredible panoramic views. Nearby, but totally private and separate is Casita Maria: sleeps 2, own private plunge pool, BBQ, Pergola & deck. Breathtaking views. Relax and feel the quiet tranquillity of the mountains seep into your soul. Sit in the warm Spanish sunshine and just chill! A wonderful, idyllic mountain holiday retreat, perched 400m over the Guadalhorce Valley. The dramatic Sierra de las Nieves to the West; the Mediterranean Sea gleaming in the South. Cencerrita is about relaxing but if you do need to move on the odd occasion, just 25 mins are the towns of Estacion de Cartama and Álora, and less than an hour to Malaga airport and the Costa del Sol. A paradise for walking, birdwatching, photography, naturists, yoga and anyone else who wants to be far from the madding crowds.

Details for Casita Maria 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, 1 Bathroom

Casita Maria has a delightfully romantic feel to it with the privacy and seclusion you need for the perfect getaway with your loved one. The superb panoramic views allow you to enjoy not only the daytime vistas, but also the sunsets and stars at night. Whilst inexpensive to rent, the accommodation is by no means 'budget' class! Every care has been taken to make sure that you are provided with all the creature comforts needed for your special holiday. This is a haven where you can unwind and soak up the atmosphere of this still unspoilt hideaway in rural Spain. It is not the place for the avid sightseer, the restless fidget or the impatient night clubber. Instead it is a refuge from all that the 'traditional' Spanish holiday brings. This is the time to unwind: read a book, cherish the time with your partner and just infuse your soul with peace and relaxation in this very special corner of the world.

Although less than an hour to Malaga City, the Airport, beaches and all the other attractions of the Costal del Sol, Finca Cencerrita is first and foremost a place for getting away from it all. Situated equidistant from the white village of Alora , Estacion de Cartama and Pizarra – a 30 min car ride – you will find all the restaurants, banks and shopping you will need. Nearby is the wonderful El Chorro with its beautiful lakes and mountains – who needs the crowded beaches of the coast when you can swim in the turquoise lakes?! Just over two hours will get you to the world renowned Alhambra Palace at Granada, and a little further to the famous city of Seville. The magical city of Ronda is just over an hour. Plenty more information on our websites. However you don’t need to get in your car to enjoy the area: just go walking and enjoy seeing the real Andalucian countryside on your holiday home doorstep.

Further details for this holiday cabin rental in Cartama, Spain

Meeting You: We meet you in Estacion de Cartama to guide you to Finca Cencerrita - we don’t want you to get lost on the first day of your holiday! This is a great relief to most ... especially when arriving in the dark!

Don't Want to Hire a Car?: One of the main reasons for the tranquillity of Finca Cencerrita is due to it being well off the beaten track (20 to 30 minutes by car from each of the villages). Not everyone wants the hassle of driving ,so we can: pick you up from the airport, stop off at a supermarket for provisioning on the way and then return you nice a relaxed after your holiday. We also run excursions - further details can be found on our website.

First Night Dinner: Cooking is often the last thing you want to do after a long day travelling so we can cook dinner (12 € each) for you on the first night if you would like - we do need a week's notice please. A menu will be sent before your holiday.

Other Activities: birdwatching, photography, painting, geocaching

Wonderful, relaxing holiday in a superb location

Bristol_1984 Bristol
Review Submitted: July 12, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We had a wonderful week in the cabin during May - the weather was beautiful and the location itself is breathtaking.

The cabin was perfect for a week of R&R, chilling out in the splash pool with a cocktail and enjoying the long sunny days.

Thanks again for making us feel so welcome, and special thanks to Arwen for showing us some 'off the beaten track' walks!

Log Cabin for lovers

987654321 Buckinghamshire, England
Review Submitted: March 25, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We stayed in the log cabin which was everything we wanted for a secluded get away romatic break. It is small, rustic and basic so don't expect hotel cleanliness and standards altho it had everything we needed. The scenery is wonderful and ideal for walkers and those who just want to chill out as there is nothing else to do, bliss! Evening entertainment is star gazing, lizard catching and dvd watching.

The owners are extremely helpful with transfers, shopping, walking routes, maintenance etc if thats what you want.

The flies and insects are a bit of a nuisance so take plenty of repellent.

I would recommend this to any couple who want complete privacy and escapism. We have booked up again this year.
Owner's Response: We'd just like to point out that Jackie wasn't refering to the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom! You are staying on the doorstep of nature and, needless to say, the casita does not have the sterile atmosphere of a hotel room ... Booking again this year shows this!
A screened pergola has been built next to the casita which can be open or closed depending on your preference. Luckily it is so dry up here in the summer months, mossies and their ilk are not generally a problem.

Just great!

Review Submitted: March 22, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2008
We stayed two times in the cabin and it was paradise! It's not an easy way to come to paradise but that's really worth. The cabin is small but it's clean and it has all the comfort you wish. The view is magnificent. Alan and Colleen are very nice owners and leave you alone when you want qiutness but can help you when you want something.You can make wonderfull walking trips from the cabin (there are descriptions in the cabin) and the neighbourhood is beatifull fot experience the nature and lovely villages. We really will come back (and we never did that before with another holidayhouse...) Hans and Julia from Amsterdam (Netherlands)

What a wonderful place to stay! From the Cabin a beautiful view. Relax and enjoy! It's a lovely place to mountainbike. Good restaurants in the village, not far by car to the sea. And most of all very nice owners, great service, it was fantastic!
