About this property

Casa Maracaibo, lovely villa with pool, WiFi, Almuñecar, Costa Tropical

Casa Maracaibo is located 7 mins walk to San Cristobal beach and 15 minutes walk to the west of the town centre. The house is one of seventeen in this small urbanisation, and has its own parking space and garage. In a town where parking can be a problem, there is never that problem here.

The house enjoys views over the whole of Almuñecar from east to west, with the sea and Playa San Cristobal straight ahead. The front terraces of the house enjoy sun all day. The pool is two minutes walk away and is surrounded by lush grass with lemon and avocado trees for shade. The pool is open now (April 4th 2021) and there are no restrictions on its use, apart from making noise in unsocial hours. The urbanisation is small and this year 2021 we expect very few guests staying in the other houses, so it is quite likely you will have the pool for yourselves some of the time.

The beach is a seven minute walk away, and there are restaurants and bars here for all tastes, as well as a variety of shops and places to hire scuba diving gear or reserve excursions.

Casa Maracaibo se encuentra a 7 minutos a pie de playa de San Cristóbal y 15 minutos al oeste del centro de la ciudad. La casa es uno de diecisiete en esta pequeña urbanización y tiene su propio aparcamiento y garaje. En una ciudad donde el estacionamiento puede ser un problema, nunca hay ese problema. Tiene piscina comunitaria que nunca esta muy ocupada, con mucha cesped alreadedor para tumbarse.

Inside the house there is space for living, dining and relaxing. There is a well equipped kitchen with gas hob, electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine and cooker. There is a lot of cupboard space, a walk in pantry with fridge-freezer and plenty of work-surface.

The living room is separated from the kitchen by the dining area, which makes the ground floor light and airy, benefiting as it does from double doors to a ground floor patio.

The terraces have sunloungers (upstairs) and a table and chairs under shade (ground floor) in case the sun is particularly fierce. To the front of the living room is a TV with basic British satellite channels, DVD/CD and stereo system. WiFi internet is included in the rental.

The living room has air-conditioning and the upper level has fans and French windows to enable the breeze to pass through, as well as roller blinds to allow you to sleep in the mornings without being awoken by the sun. The view from the upper sun terrace is magnificent.

The upstairs bathroom has a large bath/shower, WC, and washbasin, as well as hairdryer and cupboard space. The downstairs is a shower-room with WC and washbasin. The hot water is supplied by a gas hot water heater. The two bedrooms have a double bed and twin beds, and an extra bed in the living room can be used to sleep one more person more people (by prior arrangement).

This is a very comfortable house in a quiet location with panoramic views of the beach and Almuñecar. If you don't want to walk to the beach, you can descend with your car and park nearer if you wish, using the car parking available one block behind.

The house is well positioned for access to the old coast road, which enables you to drive to Malaga or Granada in less than an hour in each direction. Nearby there is also the Peña Escrita country park, Marina del Este (a lovely area to walk and look at the yachts), and the village of Salobreña, featuring a dramatic Moorish castle perched on the edge of a hill overlooking the sea.

Local attractions include Almuñecar Old Town and castle (a great shopping and rambling area), the 'Loro Sexi' bird park, the Parque el Majuelo with its Roman fish salting works, and Playa del Altillo with its wonderful sculptures along the promenade. The castle overlooks Parque El Majuelo, which is a beautiful park, venue for special events every week, including the Almuñecar Jazz Festival in July.

All of Granada's attractions are within easy reach of the house, as are the various beaches and resorts of the Costa Tropical. Last but not least, the south facing villages of the Sierra Nevada are also a short drive away. This area, known as the Alpujarra, has been written about by Gerald Brenan ('South from Granada') and Chris Stewart ('Driving Over Lemons'). Granada is the capital of the province with the same name, situated in the eastern part of the region of Andalusia. Geographical and scenic diversity charactizes the land. There is the coastal area with its warm climate; the extensive, fertile Genil plain; and the mountainous regions with a colder climate, where we find the 3,481 meter Mulhacén, the biggest peak on the peninsula of Spain.

The city of Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains at the confluences of the Darro and Genil rivers. Its unique history has bestowed it with an artistic grandeur embracing Moorish palaces and Christian Renaissance treasures. As the last Moorish capital on the Iberian peninsula, it also holds great symbolic value.

Cerca hay también el Peña Escrita country park, Marina del Este (una zona muy bonita para caminar y ver los barcos), y el pueblo de Salobreña, con un espectacular castillo morisco encaramado al borde de una colina con vistas al mar.

Granada es la capital de la provincia del mismo nombre, situado en la parte oriental de la región de Andalucía. La diversidad geográfica y pintoresco charactizes la tierra. Es la zona costera con su clima cálido; la extensa y fértil llanura Genil; y las regiones montañosas con un clima más frío, donde encontramos el medidor 3.481 Mulhacén, el pico más grande en la península de España. La ciudad de Granada está situada a los pies de las montañas de Sierra Nevada en las confluencias de los ríos Darro y Genil. Su historia única lo ha concedido con una grandeza artística abarca Palacios moriscos y Christian renacimiento tesoros. Como la última capital musulmana de la Península Ibérica, también tiene gran valor simbólico.

About the host

Hosted by Tim and Maria Arantxa

Host profile image
We have lived in the Valley of Lecrin with our family since 1993. Our location is very special. It is still real Spain with donkeys, farmers in the orange groves irrigating the land as their forefathers have done for centuries, yet we are only 25 minutes from the vibrant city of Granada, equally close to the Costa Tropical, and 45 minutes to the ski slopes and white villages of the Sierra Nevada, Iberia's highest mountains. Climb one to get a view of Africa from the top! It is a wonderful location, a pool on your doorstep, cheap bars and excellent local tapas, we go out walking along the trails which run through the Valley and into the Sierra Nevada, we have guests who mountain bike (local hire available), you can ride horses, and we often go the beach. You can visit the historic attractions of Granada, and sample the tapas of course, but there is also a wonderful Science Museum with some amazing attractions. You can ski in winter, but even now the Sierra Nevada resort is open to hiking and other mountain pursuits.

Why they chose this property

Casa Maracaibo occupies the best part of Almuñecar, where you re within easy reach of the Old Town and the beach but without the noise and inconvenience that often goes with living in either place. In an area dominated by apartments, in our district predominate villas and twonhouses with gardens and swimming pools. Nearby the "house that looks like a ship" is a local landmark on the way walking down to the beach. Tapas bars and beach bars on Playa San Cristobal or on the way to Cotobro all have great food and friendly service. All within walking distance.
