THERE ARE TWO LARGE DOUBLE EN-SUITE BEDROOMS. (Can be single beds) The sofa bed is intended for only single short occupancy.

Luxury on 3 floors for a '5-star' holiday in a panoramic gorgeous Canillas de Aceituno village setting with hills/sea view below and National Park behind. Designed by the owner, Suzanne, using the best 'ingredients' with 2 large (32/34 sq.m.) en-suite bedrooms on ground and 1st floor, with blackout lined silk curtains, down pillows and dimmable lights. No squabbles about the best room as both are equally luxurious and large. Bathrooms have power showers within baths (one with additional stand-alone shower) and double basins, proper hair-dryers + robes and slippers if required. (Slippers not necessary unworn; we are not a hotel spa!) All towels and beach towels are supplied. There's a separate utility/shower room too. Upwards to the stunning top floor contemporary open-plan living space + cargo lift, (so no need to carry up shopping/wine/logs) and spacious dining terrace with stunning views over village and hills to sea and sometimes Africa! There's a built-in charcoal BBQ and pyramid gas heater for any chilly evenings. The kitchen is superbly equipped with all cooking gadgets, food processor, orange press, microwave and cutlery etc. (Even Spanish cookery books) Accessed from the living room via a spiral staircase there is a magnificent spacious roof terrace with adjustable sun-loungers, privacy screening/shade canopy and hot/cold shower and the most fabulous panoramas in the village. Within its own patio is a private and romantic solar-heated pool (5m x 2.7m x 1.3 deep) with a shower. (Temperature dependant on sunshine hours!) Casa Convento has the advantage of being part of the delightful 'pueblo blanco' of Canillas de Aceituno, while maintaining its own intimate atmosphere and privacy. There is no reserved parking but space for 3 cars outside the house; however I do supply access to cctv and via app you can see if there is a space before proceeding from the car parking area about 150 metres from the house. FREE CONSTANT WI-FI INTERNET. NO KIDS UNDER 10. THIS IS A NO-SMOKING PROPERTY. NO PETS. NO 'EXTRA' GUESTS.

Ferienhaus in sehr schöner Lage
Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub im Casa Convento. Die Lage ist super in dem kleinen Dorf. Es ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und mit dem Auto Andalusien zu erkunden. Auch konnte man in Cannillas gut abends essen gehen. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse des Hauses ist ein Traum und der Pool war schön zum zwischendurch abkühlen. Das Haus ist so gut ausgestattet, das man nichts vermisst. Auch die Kommunikation mit Suzanne klappte reibungslos, auch als wir zwischendurch Fragen hatten. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Urlaub! Kleine Randbemerkung: man sollte wandern mögen, vom und ins Dorf zum Haus gibt es ein paar Höhenmeter unterschied, aber sehr gut machbar und die kleinen schönen Gassen machen das gehen abwechslungsreich. Auch gibt es eine Serpentinenstraße zum Dorf, das ist aber gut machbar.

Great house in an exceptional location!
Our stay was very enjoyable. The house met our expectations in term of facilities, amenities and equipment. The pool was clean and the kitchen well kited. The balcony / terrace provided an exceptional viewing point. Dominating the entire village and amazing panoramic views over mountains and even a glimpse of Mediterranean Sea.

We loved it!
The property is lovely - layout, facilities, comfort, views (just breathtaking, it was difficult to tear away from the dining terrace) ... everything!! The location is stunning! Sunsets from the top terrace were beautiful. We loved the village too - it had all the food we needed from the friendly shop owners; we enjoyed the restaurants too - each offering something different. Many thanks, we all loved it.

un peu tôt dans la saison
Séjour agréable mais un peu tôt dans la saison, températures fraiches le matin et météo capricieuse. Véhicule indispensable à tous déplacements. Maison spacieuse avec tout le nécessaire mais piscine à 18° donc impossible d'en profiter.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Suzanne Davy

Host profile image
2006 was actually when I bought the plot of land where Casa Convento now sits and it was completed in 2008. I have always worked in design of some sort, either in interiors, or as a stylist, writer and now, photographer, so it was a dream to design and build my own house, which we also spend time in whenever we can secure a week or two! My husband, a retired helicopter pilot, and I live in the beautiful, historic city of Bath.

Why they chose this property

The Axarquia area is full of fabulous places to visit and has a great diversity of interest for all. We love the village of Canillas de Aceituno and its people, who are very friendly and greet everyone in passing. From here, it is easy to visit lots of lovely 'pueblos blancos', many of which you can spot from our panoramic dining terrace or sunbathing roof terrace. Behind is the unspoilt wilderness of the National Park, with access for walks right behind the house. The construction of our own panoramic experience of El Caminito del Rey is under way, linking Canillas de Aceituno with Sedella. We are only 25 minutes panoramic drive from the seaside and many beaches to explore. We have several favourite beach 'clubs' at the western end of Torre del Mar; Bahia de Tanit and Berebere . There are also stunning beaches eastward beyond Nerja. Marbella, Puerto Banus etc are within reaching distance for a ritzy day out. Cordoba and Granada are within easy driving distance, but best to spend a night or two to appreciate their wonders.

What makes this property unique

I am always so pleased to have the wonderful response from my guests at Casa Convento who tell me it is utterly blissful, comfortable and way above the normal standard for a rental property. Everyone falls in love with the stunning views and sunsets, plus the real Spain of Canillas de Aceituno.
Words such as 'Stunning', 'Heavenly', 'Superb', 'Paradise' are used in my Guest book and reviews.
