Holiday house


Finca Essenza
Completely unwind in our charming finca with large swimming pool, spacious outdoor lounge and kitchen and beautiful views of La Maroma and Sierra Nevada.

In short: back to the essence... nature, sun, zen and friendship. 

In the middle of the hills of the Axarquía, a beautiful region just north of Malaga lies our house: Finca Essenza.

We had the old finca refurbished by a local contractor into a nice and spacious holiday home. The house is a great place to relax with your friends or family by the pool and enjoy the beautiful view of La Maroma . In the morning you walk to the village for a delicious cup of coffee on a terrace and to get some fresh bread.

From the house you can be in the middle of bustling Malaga within half an hour, rent a bike and explore the city with its many historical sights, nice terraces, tasty restaurants and beautiful shops in this special way. Or you can choose to spend a day visiting beautiful Granada with its medieval Moorish palace, the Alhambra. Do you like an adventure? Then walk El Camenito del Rey, a great experience! In the area there are countless opportunities to do something for a day.

Main house: 
On the ground floor you will find an attractive living room with a sofa, various lazy chairs and a spacious dining area. There is also a fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is the spacious kitchen, which is fully equipped. Here is a dining table, oven, 5 burner gas stove, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster, hand blender, very large fridge with a freezer compartment and a large amount of crockery, pans and cutlery. 

Furthermore, on the ground floor there is a hall with 3 bedrooms for 2 people. As well as a shared bathroom for bedrooms 2 and 3 with 2 sinks, a walk-in shower and toilet. Master bedroom: 2 person four-poster bed (180 x 200), private bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Bedroom 2: 2 single beds 80 x 200 Bedroom 3: 2 single beds 90 x 200

Case 1:
The casita is a detached double house (approx. 16 m2) in the courtyard garden. There is a bedroom with a double bed of 180 X 200. A bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet and sink. 

Casita 2:
This casita is located under the terrace of the swimming pool. It is about 30 m2 and consists of a sitting and sleeping area with a double bed of 180 X 200. A bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet and sink. It has a spacious private terrace. 

The casitas are not rented separately. Depending on the number of people you want to spend your holiday with, you can use the casitas.

Extra facilities: 

Air conditioning in the living room and in all bedrooms for cool nights in the warm Spanish summer and warmth in the colder (winter) periods. There is a meter on the air conditioner and its consumption is charged separately. There is WiFi in and around the house, a washing machine and dryer, several cozy outdoor seating areas and various sunbeds. 

Outdoor lounge with kitchen: 

Right next to the pool is a large covered outdoor lounge with a seating area, with a dining table for 10 people and with a kitchen with large gas BBQ and plancha. Here you can chill and eat outside. 

Children
The pool is not fenced, so this house is best suited for children who already have a swimming certificate

Swimming pool

The swimming pool is 8 x 4 meters in size and can be heated on request at an additional cost

Garden and terraces: 
There is a lovely courtyard garden with citrus and fig trees, cypresses and bamboo and also with a terrace. Directly next to the house you will find a large terrace, part of which is covered in the summer against the heat. The terrace has a beautiful view over the green mountains with olive trees of the Axarquía with the Sierra Nevada in the distance. You are completely free at the lovely swimming pool which is in the sun all day. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas here to relax. 

There is also a table tennis table and a boules court.

Terrain
The whole property is fenced.

Extra service:

Daan & Ed, our Dutch speaking hostess and hostess will welcome you upon arrival at Finca Essenza. They will show you the house and the garden. Because they live in the area, they can tell you all about it. If you don't want to leave but still want to be pampered for an evening, our chef at home Léon can prepare a delicious dinner with products from the region for you at home!

Durable: We have had 10 solar panels installed.

The living and dining areas in the main house are best suited for up to 6 to 8 people, while the outdoor lounge can accommodate 10 people. Therefore, we recommend renting the Finca in the winter months (December to March) with a group of 6 to 8 guests, as the evenings are cooler and dining inside is more pleasant.

Hey!

Nice of you to view our house. We immediately fell for the beautiful location, tranquility and the wide view. We bought the house 4 years ago and refurbished it with a lot of love and care. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
