A 2 Chambre penthouse de luxe dans le centre historique de Alora

If you want to experience a real Andalucian village and feel like a local - away from the crowds and tourists then Alora is for you. Just a half hour train journey from Malaga Airport - it is easy to get to and when your hosts meet you at the station in Alora it couldn’t be simpler. Helen and Steve are wonderful hosts and from the moment you meet them you realise how passionate they are about the business they run - it really is a labour of love. On our way to our apartment we were given a whistle stop tour of our surroundings before arriving at the penthouse - accessed by the lift that can only take you to the 3rd Floor by key. The apartment is spacious and well equipped both internally and on the large balcony together with wonderful almost 360 views! Something you never get bored of waking up to. No car is required as train/buses are nearby. A trip to Malaga is a must - we also spent a day in Ronda - it would be good to stay overnight here as plenty to see and do and it’s a one and a half hour train journey.

Plenty of shops in Alora within easy walking distance - a large supermarket where you can stock up and a super shopping trolley which enables you to transport your shopping back to the apartment quite easily. Also great to visit the local butchers/ fishmongers/

bakeries and small grocers to try out your Spanish (in our case very limited!)

Very good choice of Restaurants/Tapas Bars - Bar Marin Fish Restaurant an absolute must - no need to dress up - quite basic but fantastic food and not at all expensive. Try out the tapas in the local bars and mingle with the locals who are very friendly and don’t seem to mind our lame attempts at communication!

To summarise a great apartment with exceptional hosts - absolutely nothing is too much trouble (we embarrassingly also locked ourselves out and Steve came to our rescue!). Helen and Steve’s aim is solely to ensure that your holiday is one to remember for all the right reasons! DEFINITELY ONE TO VISIT

Thank you Helen and Steve! (Joanne & Steve L - stayed Sept 7th to 18th 2018)

Vill man bo i en liten by som lyckats behålla sin spanskhet, trots närheten till solkusten, så är detta ett bra alternativ. Du kan ta dig med tåg till och från Malaga, eller hyr en bil och gör äventyr. Lägenheten är jättefin och har en fantastisk utsikt. De båda terrasserna alternerar med sol och skugga så du har alltid någon att sitta på. Lägenheten är mycket bra utrustad och känns som ett hem. Dessutom gör värdparet allt för att du ska trivas. De finns också till hands om du undrar över något. Vi har bara bra att säga om detta - förutom att vi (men det är vi det) tyckte att sängarna var lite för hårda.

When I entered the penthouse directly from the lift, I thought wow how private. The penthouse was well equipped and very clean and tasteful. The sun terrace is absolutely amazing with stunning views of the castle, churches, the beautiful white washed village and the rolling hills. Waking up every morning to the birds singing and the cockerels chanting was just wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay, my partner has visited this penthouse on three previous occasions with friends and was excited fir me to experience this beautiful place. We shall certainly return.

Loved the area for good quality walking. Trains make access to Malaga and other resorts easy. Apartment lived up to the reviews and did not fail to deliver. The welcome hamper provided is the best we have ever had and took some pressure off that first night. Lovely hosts who meet and greet and. Show you around.

Total attention to detail as per usual. Great views, friendly locals, can’t wait to visit again
