Painting Holidays: For people who are interested in painting holidays we do have our own art teacher, Caroline Hardaker, who will be doing 4 courses of 6 days each starting on June 14th and the 24th, and August 30th and September 6th. The courses will be inclusive of transfers to and from the airport, a trip to the Picasso Museum in Malaga, all meals, accommodation and tuition and will cost £599 per person. Non painting partners are welcome, If any art tutors reading this is are interested in arranging their own groups of painters to stay at the finca please contact me to discuss possibilities.

Music and Special Occasions : If anyone wanting to book the finca also wants to book some live music (for a very reasonable cost) maybe for a special occasion 'Acoustic Roots' are available. We are a 3 piece band playing a very eclectic mix of music from Simon & Garfunkel to Manu Chau. If you do have a special occasion while you are here (or just fancy it), we can also provide an excellent chef (Moorish and Arabic cuisine) who can come and cook for you at the finca and clear up afterwards, just like having a top class restaurant all to yourselves (with entertainment if required!) All this would have to be arranged in advance of course, Acoustic Roots unavailable from May 1 - June 15, although other bands (including Spanish) may be available during that period.

Finally - paradise found.

Jon W. uk
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
When we first saw Finca Estrellas on this website, from the photographs and description, it had that 'feel' about it. We were a group of 10 adults and teenageers. When you walk through the lovely double wooden doors and onto the magnificent pool terrace, you know that feeling was so right.
Finca Estrellas is a magnficent and beautiful place, in a lovely part of Spain. Pristine in every sense, the attention to detail and thought put into all aspects of the Finca, need to be seen to be appreciated. First class furnishings and fittings throughout. Not overlooked, with fantastic views in all directions, 5 minutes from Canillas and 10 minutes from Competa. Both lovely, the latter a bit bigger with plenty of restaurants and facilities. The owners Mitch and Chris, give wonderful support whenever needed and we can not thank them enough for making our stay so seamless. Having spent many hours over the years searching for the 'ideal' rental property, we have now found it! Shame there isn't a 6 star rating.

Heaven on Earth

Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Rarely does a holiday destination of this quality become available to the general public, but this one is and our party of 8 ranging from 12 to 56 years of age have just enjoyed a marvellous fortnight in Mitch & Chris's 5 star finca.
Everything you need for a wonderful holiday is there, from the stunning views from the many terraces to the authentic Spanish welcome in the many local bars and restaurants(don't miss Marie's family welcome in Bar Cerezo).
Your hosts are available if needed, for any assistance without being intrusive and nothing large or small is too much trouble.
The surrounding area is the 'true' Spain I remember from years gone by, with the chatter of sun hardened locals in markets, welcoming shops and shaded seating, but you are also never far away from a fellow Anglican in one of the lovely outside cafes/bodegas if you require a 'moan' about British weather.

I wholeheartedly recommend this holiday experience to one and all and do truly hope that the opportunity to share a 'tanka' with the people we encountered on our adventure comes about once again.

Get away from it all

A,J,N&H Dublin
Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
A group of 8 of us, all ages, from England and Ireland have just enjoyed the most fabulous of holidays at Finca Estrellas. It's location is just right - close enough (5 mins) to many "real" Andalucian towns and villages yet far enough to enjoy the perfect tranquility, beautiful nature and space that the location offers. The house far exceeded our expectations, spacious and comfortable rooms, all en-suite, doors onto the terrace, and beautiful views. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything required to cook the massive array of fresh foods available locally. Outdoor sitting areas caused us the only problem ..... we didn't know which one to choose next - all so inviting! The owners have done everything to exacting taste and are wonderful hosts. They have not seen the last of us. We will be back. In the meantime we will hold on to the great memories of it all.

Relaxing Sunny holiday with my family

Regular Manchester, UK
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
I have stayed at the Finca quite a few times now - at Christmas, Easter and during the Summer. I keep going back and find it hard to keep away! It is luxurious and peaceful and I love the early evenings when I can swing in the hammocks under the pagoda with my cocktail after spending time in the hot sun and welcoming pool. Then after we have been out to one of the many wonderful local restaurants I enjoy sitting out on the comfy seating area looking at the night sky watching shooting stars which often occur in August. The views are fabulous and the people so friendly. I especially enjoy Sunday evenings in the Albaida pub/restaurant when I can listen and watch the owner of this Finca sing whilst playing his guitar, banjo or mandolin whilst others join in - it's a great friendly atmosphere with fabulous food. My partner; 16 year old daughter; 28 year daughter and her partner all enjoy it and love it as much as I do. There's country walking right from the gate if you fancy keeping fit and seeing some wonderful scenery and birds or it's only 40 mins from the bustling coastal area and wonderful beaches. I love the beaches but it's always great to come back to the Finca for relaxation. I cannot recommend it enough although I'm loathe to say this as it would mean I may not be able to get the weeks I want to stay there so I'll book early!!

Painting holiday

Mel C Bradford, West Yorkshire, England
Review Submitted: January 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
We spent a week's painting holiday at the Finca Estrellas in May and were delighted with everything. The setting is quiet and lovely, the villa itself spacious, attractive and very comfortable, whether you are inside or out, and the pool big enough to provide some exercise. The exercise is necessary because the chef who came in on some evenings produced the best food I have ever had in Spain.

In May there are plenty of wild flowers blooming in the surrounding countryside and eagles flying overhead so this is a great place for nature lovers. The attractive village of Canillas de Albaida is a great place for having lunch or a glass of cava in the square. If you're active enough you can reach it on foot via the ancient Roman bridge. Very vigorous friends have enjoyed the many mountain footpaths in the area.

I have no hesitation in recommending this finca.
