Lovely house, very clean, good location
I've just spent 8 nights with my mother at this property. Arriving at night and getting slightly lost (we had trouble finding the meeting point where the owner was waiting but he found us!), the drive from Torrox pueblo to the house seemed endless, the main road very twisting and the house off a long track. But next day it was actually very easy; and less than 8km from the house to the village. Torrox Costa was a further 6 or 7km - a long beach and a number of supermarkets were there. We arrived on a Saturday night and had stopped off to buy essentials at Velez-Malaga. Next day, we found that Super Sol in Nerja (along the lovely A340 coast road) is open on Sunday!
The house itself has the main living area downstairs - a comfortable sitting area with TV/DVD/CD and an air con unit; 3 bedrooms each with a fan and ample wardrobe space, a bath/shower/WC and a compact kitchen with separate utility room (fridge, washing machine). We didn't use the bunk beds but the double room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. One of the single beds had a rock-hard mattress but the other was fine. The kitchen was equipped with most basics but no kettle. More cutlery would be an improvement too.
The spacious downstairs patio has a BBQ (no tools) and dining table seating 6 under an oak tree which was strung with coloured fairy lights - very pretty at night. Lots of wasps unfortunately but the owner has provided a number of traps.
Upstairs is a shower room and WC off a large sitting area. There is a small rear patio with a table and 4 chairs which provided lunchtime shelter from the sun! The pool was small but adequate for cooling off, and was sparkling clean - there was also a poolside shower. Comfortable sunbeds, a small table and a large umbrella completed the furnishings.
The property was very secure - bars on all windows and a heavy metal gate at the entrance, plus automatic lighting at night. It's just under 2km from the main road to the house down a slightly bumpy track which our Fiesta managed without difficulty.
The owner and his family are lovely and provided water, fresh figs, grapes and mangoes on our arrival. However, the option of a basic welcome pack would be appreciated for late night arrivals (milk, bread, coffee).
In summary the house is basic but well maintained - we loved it and hope to return next year. Thank you Salvador!
