Lovely villa with all that you need, even tv with UK terrestrial channels for those who cannot do without. Great views to enjoy looking at with a gin and tonic. Walk to Archez and back had two walks, one very steep but short and one longer but less strenuous. We mixed it up depending how we felt! Great places to visit nearby, within an hour, Competa, Sayalonga, Frigilana and Nerva.

This is a gem of place - and the check in process and communication with the owners is just perfect. Please note that while it is just 5 mins from the village/restaurants, the 10 min walk up the hill back to the villa will burn more than 2000 calories. It is steep! In the evening this is ok but during the hot midday sun it is impossible. The villa has everything you need - pool towels, comfy beds and every condiment under the sun. The village restaurants are fantastic and the locals are super friendly. The only negative for us was the number of barking dogs in the village - this often took away from the peace and tranquility of the setting when they started talking to each other.

Blissful Escape

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Flores and found everything satisfactory. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. The trip up and down the mountain was an adventure and the local restaurants and people were lovely and the prices were really reasonable though we found the generous portion sizes too much for us. The pool was divine and we spent so much time in it due to the weather being so hot. The sun beds were good quality and with very comfortable cushions as an addition. A parasol to shade under would be a welcome addition by the pool. It was a lovely way to spend our 40th wedding anniversary and the thoughtful touch of the card and sweets were well received. Thank you so much to our hosts.

Lovely villa in Archez, nr Competa

La Casa de Flores

Excellent villa in a quite location overlooking Archez. The villa is well equipped and comfortable set in lush gardens. The pool is well maintained and ideal for splashing around in and having fun. The road up to the villa is very steep and you need a car and be willing to drive on Spanish mountain roads. This is perfect for a quite getaway and a relaxing holiday.

Lovely Casa with great views over Archez

We had ten very relaxing days at La Casa de Flores which is a lovely very well kept property perched on the hillside overlooking Archez. Very easy to relax on the veranda with a glass of wine watching the birds, views (and chameleon). Lovely walks take you to the two neighbouring towns of Canillas de Albaida and Competa, both with plenty of bars and restaurants. Thank you Margaret for your help and great communication - we’re already looking forward to a return visit!

Private, well-equipped, clean and modern villa with great views

Family of fours stayed for a week. Had a fab time. Pool was great - not massive but big/deep enough for four adults to have fun. Fantastic views over the nearby valley and villages. The villa is very private not overlooked by anyone. Árchez is a beautiful village with a few restaurants and bars. The owner (Margaret) is easy to communicate, very helpful with lots of great advice. All and all, we had a great family holiday in La Casa De Flores.

Just perfect

Communication with Margaret prior to going was great, lots of helpful information received. The villa and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The most perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle! Archez is very pretty and has a few bars and an amazing restaurant, Venta El Curro, which we were told is the best restaurant in the area. It was great as we were able to walk there, which only took five minutes. There is a stunning walk way just a few minutes from the villa to the next village, which was just breathtaking. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends and family and will most definitely be returning!

Relaxing holiday home.

We have just returned from our two week stay at this lovely holiday house. We had a great time. The property has everything you could wish for. The new addition of air con was great, as we had very high temperatures. The house is in a lovely location, with bars, restaurants and shops all nearby. We hired a car and visited lots of the surrounding villages and towns. Margaret was a brilliant host, with lots of helpful advice. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone, Thanks

Why they chose this property

After viewing 14 properties in 3 days, we fell in love with this one as soon as we came through the gates. The gardens and terraces are beautiful and the views are absolutely stunning. Because we are driving a lot at work we wanted to be within walking distance of at least 1 restaurant and 1 supermarket. We are lucky enough to be able to walk to 3 restaurants and 2 supermarkets in our own village and a similar number in the next village. I often travel to our villa alone and wanted to have somewhere that was private but not isolated. The real deciding factor though, was the warmth of the local people. Our village is a small Spanish community where the most valuable assets are family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The fact that the village is very self contained means that we don't always need to rent a car as we can buy everything that we need locally. If we want to take a trip to Granada, Seville etc we will rent a car, but if not, Maria, the local taxi driver, will collect us at the airport and take us back there at the end of our holiday. The majority of our returning guests do not rent a car now.
