Holiday house

VFT/GR/01518

Three hours' 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 fantastically pleasant micro climate. But there is so much more that one vacation can never be enough to get to know the environment. The South East coast, where the high wild mountains of the Sierra Nevada rise from the sea, houses one of the most beautiful places on the Costa Tropical: Fuentes de Almuñécar.

The holiday home is a wonderful family stopover between the avocado plantations. Through the narrow roads, where you leave the beautiful beaches and pleasantly busy boulevards, you drive in a few minutes from the beach to Casa El Balcón.

The district was built about 10 years ago and is fantastically located with a magnificent view 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 bustle of the beaches.

Within 200 meters you walk between plantations on rural roads. The district is 800 meters from the sea and 2 km from the charming old town of Almuñecar.

The Fuentes de Almunecar district is nice Spanish with many children playing around the pools and on the street. The Casa has a beautiful terrace and two balconies that all offer a magnificent view over the Mediterranean sea and the valley. The terrace has sun all day, but also plenty of shade spots. A gentle breeze always ensures the welcome cooling.

The spacious terrace is the heart of the house. It has the perfect shadow spots on hot days, with a long dining table and cozy seating around the outdoor kitchen. On cooler evenings in the winter you burn a wood fire on the BBQ place and then it stays warm under the porch until late. The swimming pools are both 2 minutes walk and only accessible for young children. The beautiful grounds of the infinity pool always have sun beds free with views over sea and mountains and has supervised supervision in the summer. The smaller pool (still very spacious) also has great views and is open from April to December.

The house has 3 floors. This creates a spatial whole so that two families can stay in the house with all privacy at the same time. All amenities are as the landlord wants it: new furnishings, good quality, clean & fresh and very nice beds!

This coastal strip has a special micro climate: never too hot in the summer (max 33 degrees) and very mild in the winter, so you can also eat on the beach. Skiing at over an hour's drive, the prehistoric caves of Nerja, the wine regions of Jeta and of course the fantastic southern Spanish cities of Jaén, Cordoba and Granada. The old parts of these cities are just like hundreds of years ago and because the cities have the Unesco Heritage status an undisturbed future is guaranteed. At the foothills of the Sierra Nevada (3478m) lies the valley of Almuñécar, 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.

Casa El Balcon has 4 bedrooms.

Additional information

At the start of April 2018 we stayed in Casa del Bacon and thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay in this fantastic house situated in the hills overlooking Almunecar. Although the whether was still a little nippy we spend a lot of time enjoying the terrace and the stunning view of both the Mediterranean and 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 activity because they enjoyed playing around the place so much. The region itself is fun and offers both cute sea side towns, rustic inland villages and a gem of a beach that the owners recommended to us. We ended up going during one of our last days which we regret because we probably would have liked to spend a couple of days on this fantastic and unique beach that comes with a fantastic restaurant. All in all it was a great week away from grey North Western Europe enjoying one of the last pieces of coast on the Spanish part of the Iberian Peninsula that we had not discovered yet. Casa El Bacon certainly has our whole hearted recommendation. You can't go wrong. Arne & Agata.

verblijf 30-5 tm 11-6-2018 Fam Daggert:
Wij hebben genoten van de bijzonder compleet ingerichte woning, het ontbrak ons werkelijk aan niets.De eigenaren zijn zeer betrokken, en de service is geweldig. De ligging is prachtig in een woonwijk op een berg circa 400 meter boven Taramay het plaatsje direct grenzend aan Almunecar. Casa El Balcon is een prachtige uitvalsbasis om diverse plaatsen en steden zoals Granada, Malaga, en vele andere mooie steden te bezoeken.Wij kunnen Casa El Balkon u aanbevelen, wij hebben genoten van deze vakantie. 

Fam Hennekens:
In september 2017 verbleven wij met 2 kids (2 en 4) in het prachtige El Balcon. Fijn contact vooraf met snelle reactie op onze vragen, goede documentatie zodat we voorbereid waren op de reis en een mooi huis waar voor ons écht alles te vinden was, tot hydrofieldoeken en de zwemvestjes voor onze kids aan toe. Het is een prettig ingericht en goed geoutilleerd huis, met een heerlijke buitenruimte waar we meermalen genoten hebben van de buitenkeuken. Het stadje Almuñécar is klein maar fijn, met goede restaurants (Los Geraneos was onze persoonlijke favoriet) en leuke strandjes. Klein nadeel vond ik dat we zowel stad als strand alleen met de auto konden bereiken: de afstand is niet ver, maar de hoogteverschillen zijn fors. Vanuit Almuñécar rij je makkelijk naar Malaga (vluchthaven), Granada of bijv. Nerja. Genoeg te doen dus. Maar ook het zwembad(je) op 150 meter lopen verderop in de straat is schoon en goed toeven (het grote bad was dicht in de periode dat wij er zaten). De eigenaren zijn goed benaderbaar en hebben er alles aan gedaan om ons verblijf zo goed mogelijk te faciliteren! Al met al een heerlijke vakantie gehad en een aanrader voor andere gezinnen!
 


Skiën op ruim een uurtje rijden, de prehistorische grotten van Nerja, de wijngebieden van Jèta en natuurlijk de fantastische Zuid Spaanse steden Sevilla, Jaén, Cordoba en Granada. De oude delen van deze steden liggen er nog net zo bij als honderden jaren geleden en omdat de steden de Unesco Herritage status hebben is een onverstoorde toekomst verzekerd.
Bij de uitlopers van de Sierra Nevada (3478m) ligt de vallei van Almuñecar, al eeuwen het centrum van de olijfgaarden en fruitteelt (cherimoya, avocado’s en papaja’s). Hier vind je ruige natuur en unieke Spaanse dorpjes, op maar klein uurtje rijden van de bruisende hoofdstad van Andalusië; Malaga.
