About this property

High quality accommodation in tranquil, nature-rich setting with easy access

Newly available for 2021, light & airy, contemporary garden apartment with its own covered terrace, in a privileged rural location at cortijo Fruitful Hills. Our estate nestles in nearly four acres of fertile hillsides with private nature trails, stunning views, beautiful trees and friendly animals to meet. Managed by experienced, award-winning, 5 star-rated on-site hosts.

There are two double bedrooms, both en suite with high-quality toilet, shower and washbasin. The master bedroom, with a king-size double bed, has two pairs of french doors onto the private covered terrace with views towards the traditional whitewashed town of Alhaurin el Grande set against the Sierra Mijas mountains. The second double bedroom is at the back of the apartment built into the hillside with a window well, making it ideal for cool summer and warm winter nights. It has the flexibility of a super king-size bed or two singles. There is a spacious lounge/dining area with patio doors onto the terrace. There is an open plan flow to the kitchen and a further outdoor kitchen/barbeque area on the terrace. The same contemporary stone effect tiles run throughout the apartment and onto the terrace, giving a sense of harmony. The walls are freshly decorated in clean white. The apartment and terrace are all on one level.
Allocated secure parking is adjacent to the apartment. The nearly 4 acres of the property include 2 acres of hillside nature trails as well as a developing permaculture food forest with many citruses, nut, avocado, mango and fig trees. There are many places to sit quietly, enjoy the views and soak in the beauty of the nature-rich environment.
This apartment is newly listed - by a property owner/manager with over 20 years of experience. We are passionate about offering high-quality hospitality. You can read our five-star reviews of our UK-based holiday rental, Fern House, Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales.

The property is in a privileged area of rolling hillside between the traditional Spanish towns of Alhaurin el Grande and Coin, both towns being just a 10 minute (5km) drive away.
The Andalucian Rescue Centre for Horses is a short walk away and is open to visitors on Sunday mornings.
"Alhaurin", a name given by the Moors, means "God´s garden", the area being fertile with a pleasant winter climate. There is abundant fresh fruit & vegetables grown and sold locally. There is a mix of traditional Spanish people & culture and a large, established, international community.
We are a 30-minute from the Costa del Sol, Marbella & Fuengirola.
We are a 45-minute drive (46km) from the world-renown El Caminito del Rey with its spectacular rope walkways.
We are just 30 minutes from Malaga airport, and accessible by good tarmac roads with just the final 100 metres being a steep concrete lane uphill.

Our Spanish country home apartment is a rental with a difference. We welcome both holiday guests and visitors would benefit from our peaceful, nature-rich environment, for longer monthly stays. We also welcome guests who come to explore purchasing their own country property in Andalucía whilst experiencing country life from a base with excellent road links to many attractive areas.

We are an affiliate of the Quiet Garden Trust. Quiet Gardens provide a simple, beautiful context for enjoying the silence, attentiveness, and contemplative prayer. At the same time, guests with children are welcome.

NEW for 2022: high-speed Wimax internet with Orbi Tri-Band Mesh WiFI 6 System - includes seamless poolside/terrace coverage ideal for remote working.

Lovely location, great pool and very peaceful. Andrew, the host, went out of his way to make us feel welcome and accommodate us and our newborn.

Good communication with host Andrew before & during the stay. Beautiful location, great pool, clean & comfortable. Plus easy access to Malaga & local towns, we spent a day to complete ‘caminito del rey.’

Endroit paisible

Endroit paisible sur la colline , un accueil chaleureux. Une piscine très appréciable , un logement bien équipé , propre et très bien aménagé. Un lieu que nous avons apprécié malgré les bruits de pas au plafond toute la nuit .

Thank you for your maximum five star review. We still want to do better though and we’re so sorry to hear about the noise of footsteps from above during the night. Our 12 year old daughter occupies the room above and during the summer holidays she has been having some late nights. We are putting a rug with underlay where she walks and will make sure that there is no footstep noise from above for future guests. It hasn’t been reported to us by guests ever before. Thank you for your feedback on how we can improve.
