To the rental as favorable as possible, we have our unique price lowering Self-Service System. What this means: If renting a villa is no mean feat in terms of time and effort, do you think eg on administration, e-mail exchange, contracts, Check-in and check-out guests, key handover, cleaning, washing of linen, deposit collection and monitoring, maintenance, repairs and much more! All this is time consuming and costly. A landlord can not or will not continuously present themselves and so will many tasks yet to be given away to a (paid) keyholder and / or cleaning. This will cost you (or invisible) found in the rental, especially among professional letting organization, so eventually you pay it yourself ...
We have a sophisticated, simple and effective "do it yourself" system where you do some simple (domestic) tasks you take. This makes the management and minimal intervention and this gives you and us (price) advantage! There is (almost) no administrator intervention required an expensive and this pushes the price. Thus we have a unique key transfer system allowing you to independently arrive and depart, even if it is in the middle of the night, without further intervention of an intermediary. Unique and stress free. Linen can either bring your own or order at extra cost, with you in the latter case this crops on the dry shelves behind, so no expensive administrator for this to come along. (NEW: wash is now also possible). Regarding the cleaning you have two choices: Either yourself (á € 20) or carry an additional charge of € 55. (Your CHOICE herein, you pass through in the lease that you receive from us after your booking). The cost of € 20 imply that the villa before your arrival is controlled by the keyholder and again after your departure to ensure that the house neat and clean for you and the next guests. This is basically the only intervention of the keyholder, you are further possible self-supporting and flexible, just like you used to at home!
So understand that a few simple tasks itself. The check-in and check-out lists make everything clear . Of course there is for (technical) emergency always a keyholder available (in Dutch)! Further describe the clear check-in and Check-out lists clearly how everything stays goings. This makes a carefree and economical stay possible for everyone! WELCOME!

Spending the winter in Andalusia is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason! Andalusia is also a pleasant place to stay in winter compared to the Netherlands. The winters are very mild thanks to the Mediterranean climate.
What about the heating of the Villa during the winter months? Although Andalusia has a wonderful average daytime temperature during the winter (especially in the sun and out of the wind it is wonderful to sit on your terrace with temperatures that can even reach 30 degrees), Andalucia is not located in the tropics. Temperatures can drop especially in the evenings and although night frost is very rare, Andalusians sometimes have the misfortune of a cold or rain front floating past. Exactly when, of course, can never be predicted... But with a good reading book and a good glass of wine by the crackling fireplace, a person can also feel very happy! So there must be heating! That has been taken care of: The old Andalusians sit around a table with their legs covered by a thick tablecloth, while under the table is a kind of stove with smoldering coals. This is still happening here in the Axarquia! We Dutch people are (fortunately) very spoiled at home with our tiptop insulated houses and apartments, a natural gas pipeline to every front door and within a modern central heating system with high-efficiency boiler and radiator in every room. A thermostat that regulates everything down to half a degree. This obvious Dutch luxury is unknown in southern Spain (there are no natural gas pipelines here) and cavity walls are an unknown fact. Every experienced Spain-goer/overwinterer knows that you cannot translate our Dutch level one on one to the Spanish level and that it is useful to take slippers with you because of the stone floors. We have also laid out nice rugs for the benches, which are comfortable for the feet! But of course there are other alternatives here in Spain and we have ensured that there are even SEVERAL for you in the villa: Very common is the use of the fireplace as main heating (the Miraflores also has a heat fan), this gives romantic cosiness, a wonderful "real" warmth and firewood is delivered to your home! A second heating option is the converter-generation dual air conditioning, not everyone knows that one can also heat with this. As a third option, there is a gas heater (safe, effective and relatively inexpensive to use), also very common in Spain, it is mobile so can be placed anywhere. Gas bottles can be obtained in the village or in Benamargosa for about €17, which normally takes up to a week. The separate gas heater, which works the most economically. Gas for cooking and showering as well as water is completely INCLUDED! As a fourth option, there are also some electric heaters, suitable as (additional) heating or for the bedrooms, for example. And finally a cozy extra: There are fleece blankets and some comfortable living plaids which you can drape over you as if on the seat stays. Another trick: You can close the salon from the rest of the house by means of a curtain, so that this room can be heated up faster and kept warm. As said: Of course you can also use a combination of heating options at the same time, according to your personal needs, preference and insight. Miraflores used to have a central heating system, because of the exorbitantly high operating costs (propane) it is out of order. For safety and cost reduction we recommend turning off the heating when you are outside and/or when you are away, just like the Andalusians do. As you can see, we do everything we can within the southern Spanish possibilities to ensure that you can make yourself as comfortable as possible! We firmly believe that we can certainly stand the comparison with other similar Spanish houses! In other words, if you can't make yourself comfortable here, it won't work in other Spanish villas either, so choose your favorite heating option(s). Welcome to sunny winter country Andalusia in the hills of Comares, Axarquia. PS: The period in which you can use the special winter rate of €27 per night differs per year: The 1st day that this is possible is the LAST Sunday of the autumn holidays. The last day is Saturday 1 week BEFORE the start of the May holiday.

They built all royal palaces, had drainage and a high civilization, while Northern Europe is still in the dark time Sat In the Villa you will find a booklet that describes the history of Comares on the basis of plaques that hang over the village. There is a route off to the village to learn: Just follow the "footsteps" in the pavement, and you learn to know the village in a relaxed manner. The presence of Comares has fortunately all the modern amenities of today: An ATM, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and more. Comares Spain welcomes you with open arms!

Granada is a beautiful city located just 1.5 hours drive from the Villa. It was a very important city during the Muslim domination and also the last stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors: Only in 1492 was the "Reconquista", the herve conquest complete and Granada was taken over by the Catholic Monarchs Isabel and Ferdinand. Granada is full of historic buildings and is well worth visiting. The highlight is comprised of the Alhambra and the Generalife, whose historical and artistic value has been recognized by UNESCO with its placement on the World Heritage List. The most glorious Islamic kings like Yoessoef the first and Muhammad V, according to the chronicles of the time just and wise monarchs, have led to the resurrection of the magnificent palaces and pleasure-Alhambra and Generalife. Famous landmarks include the patio of Los Arrayanes with next to the tower of Comares, the Palace of the Lions with the beautiful Patio de los Leones, the Generalife with its beautiful gardens that served as a shady garden of delight during the hottest months and the palace of Charlemagne V. It is wise to order tickets in advance to make sure that you enter, eg www.AlhambraTickets.com. Granada is certainly feasible as a day trip and really a must and must for culture lovers!

Cordoba, ever, 1000 years ago, Europe's largest city and capital of the Moorish empire. A tolerant melting pot seems to have been Muslims, Jews and Christians. Shattered and destroyed by fundamentalist Muslims, barbaric Berbers who tolerated no interpretations of scripture. Later conquered by the Christians in 1236. Emperor Charles V built in the middle of the huge cathedral mosque with a golden altar. This is a strange and bizarre structure arise, half mosque, half church. But very especially concerns and terribly beautiful, almost stranger than the Sagrada Familia cathedral by Gaudi in Barcelona. And that is the Mezquita the highlight of a visit to Cordoba. From the Villa you drive up to it in about two hours. If you get up early so as to carry out day-excursion. Or stay a night's sleep, (for there is much more beautiful things to see in Cordoba!) Example in the most beautiful hotel in Cordoba: Hotel Conquistador, overlooking the Mezquita (www.HotelConquistadorCordoba.com)

Nerja is a seaside resort beloved by many and is approximately three quarters of the Villa. The viewpoint cum beach promenade "El Balcon de Europa" is a wonderful place to grab a terrace. From the beach next to it are found in almost every guide an image. But Nerja also has many more beautiful beaches! There is also a major attraction: The famous caves which attract many visitors. Nerja also has many restaurants and bars, this former fishing village is fortunately spared the unsightly high-rise that one often finds elsewhere on the coast. Right next to Nerja to Maro, is also a fine aqueduct to visit. It looks like a Roman building but is in reality just after 1800 built a sugar water. Nevertheless, nice to see!

Just an hour's drive from the famous El Torcal Natural Park with its unusual and beautiful rock formations. Caused by moving plates and nature millions of years of erosion. A dammed prehistoric seabed, with all sorts of special shapes, some rare species of eagle and if you are good looking and looks spot you definitely rock some goats ... There are two hiking trails, one short and one long, fairly easy walk. Definitely worth a visit!

While you of course your own private pool you might want to sometimes go to the beach. That is of course no problem! The nearest beach is at Torre del Mar, but many are also attracted to the beaches at Nerja. Also in between his lovely quiet beaches. There are also nude beaches for lovers. So do not hesitate to go out and find your favorite beach!

The smallest park of Andalucia, beautiful woodland and "lungs" of the city of Malaga. Only half an hour from the Villa you will find the central car park to catch some sun while walking the pine scent to sniff. There are several marked trails, easy to walk, also partly in the cool shade of the trees, so even in high summer to do! Tip: Row after walking for a bit down towards Malaga and take the exit for "Hotel Humaina" ( a paved winding road of a few kilometers). Drink as a refreshing drink on the outdoor terrace, surrounded by nature, nature and more nature ...
