About this property

Surrounded by an Arab garden with lemon and orange trees, olive groves and fruit trees like figs, avocados, almonds and medlars. The 100 years old country house is decorated in Andalusian style and has been restored whilst preserving its original features. Two bedrooms, living room with fireplace and stove, dining kitchen, yard 'patio', bathroom with shower, pool, terrace and parking space. With its capacity for 4 people (max 5) is ideal for couples and families with children. Breathteaking views of the Guadalhorce river valley.

Cleaning with ozone treatment complementary to traditional cleaning, to guarantee total hygiene

The village of Álora has about 13.500 inhabitants and is situated on a hill dominated by the Arab Castle which is still now well maintained and lit. In 1484 the Catholic Monarchs Isabella II and Charles V reconquered de town. By the way, the spanish novelist Cervantes worked here from 1587 to 1593 as a tax collector.

The location of Casa Altavista offers a 5 minute walk to the village. In Álora you will find everything necessary during your stay: supermarkets, fish and fruit market, pharmacy, bakery, banks, etc. and a variety of restaurants to enjoy the traditional cuisine and Andalusian 'tapas'. Álora is also well known for its beautiful Easter processions.

The most impressive around Álora is undoubtedly the rock formation called 'El Chorro' (nature reserve). This rugged cliffs area belongs to the municipality of Álora. On the cliffs over 100 metres above the Guadalhorce river gorge runs a walkway known as 'Caminito del Rey' which is currently being restored. With well over 1.000 climbing routes is 'El Chorro' one of the greatest climbing areas in Europe. The reservoirs in 'El Chorro' are three stunningly beautiful turquoise coloured lakes bordered by pine forests. A quiet place for a picnic, swimming, fishing or rent pedal boats and kayaks. The area is also frequented by hikers and mountain bike lovers.

Oase in Malagas Bergland

Das Grundstück von Miguél ist eine wahre Oase. Wer auf der Suche nach einer besonderen Unterkunft, umringt von wunderschöner Natur ist, ist hier genau richtig. Der Ausblick von der Terasse über die Obstbäume auf die Berge und den kleinen Ort ist himmlisch. Der Haus ist rustikal und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. In der Küche fehlt die ein oder andere Kleinigkeit und der kleine Backofen ist auch nicht der Hit. Dafür kann man wunderbar auf der Terasse grillen. Der Ortskern ist nur wenige Minuten entfernt und dort kann man auch gut Essen und bekommt alles was man braucht. Miguél ist sehr sympathisch und gibt einem wertvolle Tipps. Rubio die kleine Katze fehlt uns jetzt schon. Ein Aufenthalt in Miguéls Landhaus in Alora ist sehr zu empfehlen und ich hoffe wir haben die Gelegenheit wieder zu kommen!

Beautiful peaceful casa

The house and surrounding citrus and olive groves are just beautiful, and perfectly positioned on the hillside on the edge of Alora, having magnificent views and solitude, yet within walking distance of the town. We were there to be active, enjoying rock climbing and walking every day in the warm autumn/winter sunshine, and the house was just absolutely the perfect place to begin and end each day. The very friendly and affectionate cat was delightful company. Thank you Miguel, everything was wonderful.

3 Weeks in January

We drove down to Alora from the UK, stopping overnight in France and Madrid. Miguel, the owner, met us at Casa Alta Vista and in his excellent spoken English, provided us with a wealth of information about the house, it’s history, the town of Alora, some great routes for us to explore on our Ebikes and some must see places to visit by car. Casa Alta Vista is a traditional Spanish farmhouse, which has been tastefully restored and provided with all mod cons. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. With its elevated position, the views from the house of the town and surrounding countryside are amazing, as are the grounds, which contain orange, lemon, hybrid orange / lemon and olive trees. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but only a short walk from Alora, a charming town with its traditional buildings, a castle and lots of small shops. It was great to sit outside a bar in the town square, basking in the warm sunshine, with a cerveza and watching the world go by. Miguel is such a nice guy and very helpful. We enjoyed hearing about the work he has done at the property, the cultivation of his citrus trees and his plans for the future. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 weeks at Casa Alta Vista and are happy to recommend it!

Une semaine dans un cadre idyllique

La maison de Miguel a beaucoup de charme et d'authenticité. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre semaine passée au milieu des citronniers, figuiers et oliviers dans un environnement reposant. La piscine est également très agréable car même par grande chaleur, elle reste fraîche toute la journée. Les deux petites chattes sont très attachantes, sans oublier les tortues ! Enfin Miguel est un hôte particulièrement avenant et sympathique, avec qui nous avons aimé échanger. Merci pour cette semaine !
