This cozy house with private swimming pool at an altitude of 465 m located in the middle of nature and in a residential and rural environment offers a breathtaking panoramic sea view.
"Casa Camaleón" is located between the beautiful hills of "la Axarquia" (according to experts the most beautiful region of Spain), close to the lively coastal town of Algarobbo-Costa (between Torre del Mar and Nerja) and 40 km from the airport in Malaga.
Located at an altitude of 475 m with beautiful unobstructed views over the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, you can see the African coast with the Moroccan Rif Mountains.
The property is surrounded by olive and almond trees. There is virtually no through traffic. Only 2 to 3 olive farmer vehicles pass here every day. An ideal place if you like privacy, peace, sun, nature and a beautiful sea view.
Casa Camaleón is accessible from Algarrobo (7 km) via a municipal road that is completely concreted/asphalted. From the highway the road runs past mango and avocado plantations into the mountains and climbs over 6 km to 615 m and then descends over 1 km to the house at 465 m. For renters who are not used to driving in the mountains, it takes some getting used to. But on this low-traffic road, with beautiful views, the few residents drive safely and at 20 km/h. Of course there are height differences, but, with the exception of a steeper part of the road over a length of +/- 50 m., the track is rather slightly sloping. So, if you like a bit of adventure, the silence, the wild nature, the tranquility and the spectacular sea view from our terrace, as it were the balcony of Europe, then our house is the perfect holiday home for you.
In ±15 minutes you are back on the highway and therefore very suitable for various excursions.
In the vicinity there are many places of interest: numerous white mountain villages, Nerja, the caves of Nerja (caves (25 km), Frigiliana (20 km), Lake Viñuela (20 km), Malaga (40 km), the El
Torcal (the largest limestone mountain range in Europe) (75 km), Granada and the Alhambra (110 km), Caminito del Rey (94 km).

In addition, various tourist routes can also be followed by car such as the Ruta del sol y del vino, the Ruta del aceite y los montes, the Ruta del sol y aguacate and the Ruta Mudéjar. A description and plan of these routes is available in the house, as well as a Michelin guide.
