Holiday house


A three-hour flight from Amsterdam is one of the most attractive holiday areas in the Mediterranean. Andalusia became known for its sunny beaches with 320 days of sunshine a year and a fantastic pleasant micro climate. But there is so much more that one holiday can never be enough to get to know the area. The southeast coast, where the high wild mountains of the Sierra Nevada rise from the sea, is home to one of the most beautiful places on the Costa Tropical: Fuentes de Almuñécar. 

Via the narrow roads, where you leave the beautiful beaches and pleasantly busy boulevards, you can drive from the beach to our casa in a few minutes. 

The neighborhood, Fuentes de Almuñécar, was built about 10 years ago and is fantastically located with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the rugged foothills of the Sierra Nevada on the other. The district is surrounded by plantations with mangoes, avocados, papayas and the local cherimoyas. In summer, the ideal place to avoid the hustle and bustle of the beaches.

From the house you can walk within 200 meters between plantations on rural roads. The district is located at an altitude of 120 meters, 800 meters from the sea and 2 km from the cozy old center of Almuñecar. 

The Casa offers a magnificent view over the Mediterranean Sea.  

The house has 2 floors. On the ground floor is the entrance of the house and there are 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a nice terrace. The 1st floor has a loft where the dining area is located, an open kitchen and utility room with enough space for groceries and a separate toilet with sink. From the loft you look out on the living room, the swaying palms and the sea.

The living room has a comfortable sofa, armchair and high ceilings: this gives the apartment a very spacious feeling with lots of light. Adjacent to the living room is a terrace where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast in the sun in the morning! From the terrace you walk via the outside stairs to the larger terrace downstairs which, in addition to sun, also offers plenty of shade for the warmer days. All amenities are as we like to see it: modern (new) interior, good quality, fully equipped kitchen, clean & fresh and very nice beds!

The living room offers a nice seat for 4 people, mood lighting, wifi (of course), bluetooth speaker, a holiday book library and some games. The house will be equipped with air conditioning at the beginning of Q1 2019. 

On the ground floor is the master bedroom with a 1 x double bed with access to the downstairs terrace; 2nd bedroom 2x1p beds. There is a bathroom with a fresh new shower, double sinks and toilet. 

The house is of course equipped with a washing machine. 

For the little ones there is a high chair and a camping cot on request. 

The swimming pools are both within walking distance. The beautiful grounds of the infinity pool always have sunbeds free with views over the sea and mountains and are supervised in the summer. The infinity pool is open from mid-June to mid-September. The smaller pool (still very spacious) also has great views and is open from April to December. This small swimming pool is located 15 meters walking distance from Casa Bella Vista.

Almuñecar has a pleasant village center at the foot of the San Miguel castle. The first foundations of the building date from the 1st century and during the Moorish occupation it was expanded into the current fortress with tower and three gates.

The terraces of the many cafes and restaurants are frequented by locals as well as tourists. In the narrow streets of the village you sometimes have an unexpected view of the sea or mountains all around. In the sheltered bay you will find a beach, a marina and the old fishing quay. At the restaurants
On the boulevard you can enjoy a simple paella cooked on wood, or a seven-course menu from a star chef. Both Fuentes and Almuñecar start with many hiking and mountain biking routes through the mountains and along the coast.

With the concept of 'basic luxury', Casa Bella Vista aims to offer its guests a very comfortable, modern, contemporary and personal place to stay that remains affordable through an optimal balance between basics and luxury.

The house is located on a hill (120 m altitude) and therefore offers fantastic views. A car is a must for shopping or day trips. Down the mountain is easy to do on foot but a bit sporty uphill;-) Within a few minutes you are in the center of Almunecar or at one of the many beaches! As trips, cities such as Malaga (60 min) and Granada (45 min) are very easy to drive to, as well as Frigiliana, Nerja and the authentic villages in the Alpujarras, Cabo Verde Natural Park and for the adventurers the Caminito del Rey. 

When booking you will receive a detailed route description, manual for the apartment, contact details etc.

Additional information

At the start of April 2018 we stayed at Casa del Bacon overlooking Almunecar. Although the whether it was still a little nippy, we spend a lot of time enjoying the terrace and the Mediterranean side of the Sierra Nevada on the inland side. The house itself is fully equipped and great for kids, it will leave you wanting for little more. In fact we had a hard time getting our kids out of the house for a day time because they enjoyed playing around the place so much. The region itself is fun and offers both cute sea side towns and rustic inland villages. We ended up going during one of our last days which we regret because we would not like to spend a few days on this fantastic beach that comes with a fantastic restaurant. All in all it was a great week away from gray North Western Europe enjoying the Iberian Peninsula that we had not discovered yet. Casa El Bacon certainly has our whole hearted recommendation. You can not go wrong. Arne & Agata.

We enjoyed the very well furnished house, it really lacked nothing. The owners are very involved, and the service is great. The location is beautiful in a residential area on a mountain about 400 meters above Taramay the town directly adjacent to Almunecar. Casa El Balcon is a wonderful base to visit various places and cities such as Granada, Malaga, and many other beautiful cities.We can recommend Casa El Balkon, we enjoyed this holiday.

Fam Hennekens:
In September 2017 we stayed with 2 kids (2 and 4) in the beautiful El Balcon. Nice contact in advance with quick response to our questions, good documentation so we were prepared for the trip and a beautiful house where we really could find everything, to hydrophilic towels and the swimming jackets for our kids. It is a nicely furnished and well-equipped house, with a lovely outdoor area where we have enjoyed the outdoor kitchen several times. The town of Almuñécar is small but nice, with good restaurants (Los Geraneos was our personal favorite) and nice beaches. Small disadvantage I found that we both city and beach could only reach by car: the distance is not far, but the height differences are substantial. From Almuñécar you can easily drive to Malaga (airport), Granada or Nerja for example. So there is plenty to do. But also the swimming pool (you) 150 meters walk down the street is clean and good to stay (the big bath was close in the period that we were there). The owners are well approachable and have done everything to facilitate our stay as well as possible! All in all a wonderful holiday and a must for other families!



Skiing over an hour's drive, the prehistoric caves of Nerja, the wine regions of Jèta and of course the fantastic southern Spanish cities of Seville, Jaén, Cordoba and Granada. The old parts of these cities are just as much as hundreds of years ago and because the cities have the Unesco Herritage status an undisturbed future is guaranteed.
At the foothills of the Sierra Nevada (3478m) lies the valley of Almuñecar, for centuries the center of olive groves and fruit growing (cherimoya, avocados and papayas). Here you will find rugged nature and unique Spanish villages, just a short drive from the bustling capital of Andalusia; Malaga.
