After several vacations to Andalucia we decided to make the region our retirement home.
So we started looking for the right place to settle down once we get here.

 

And then we encountered Casa Estrellita.
Please come in, we'll be happy to be your hosts!
 
Dirk & Sabine

Located up in the hills overlooking Lake Viñuela, Casa Estrellita is the place to spend your vacation at.

 

Savor the calm of the Campo surrounded by olive and almond groves, where the only sounds to interrupt the quiet are the chirps of the cicadas, an occasional clucking of chicken in the neighbourhood or the ringing of the bells of a herd of goats in the distance.

 

At the same time you'll be close enough to the coast to enjoy the beaches of the Mediterranean and the amenities of the lively tourist infrastructure at Torre del Mar with its shopping opportunities, restaurants and nightlife.

 

You like that mix? Then come in and have a closer look!

THE HOUSE

Built on approximately 190 square meters, the house features a big living room with woodburner and a massive dining table, a fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms, all with bathrooms en suite, and a huge conservatory/veranda. It sleeps six adults and provides an additional crib.

The house is air conditioned throughout, with additional ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

 

In the kitchen you will find all the amenities you can wish for - and possibly more. Fully automatic coffeemaker, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, a multi-functional microwave in addition to a ceramic stove and oven ...  well, you get the idea.

 

Satellite TV with an abundance of channels, a DVD player and some DVDs, a sound system, books, parlour games and free WiFi are provided for your entertainment.

 

The conservatory provides additional comfort on chilly evenings or hot summer days, but as its sliding doors can be opened completely, it will give you the true veranda feeling if you prefer to sit in the open.

 

Casa Estrellita is a non-smoking house and not suited for pets.

THE OUTSIDE

This is where the living takes place.

 

The private 8x4m pool, 1,60m deep throughout, offers magnificent views over the lake and into the mountains. It is open all year - however, it is not heated, thus may be a bit chilly in winter. 

Around the pool there is plenty of space to enjoy the Andalusian sun.

 

In the back you'll find a small porch - secluded, sunny and well protected from occasional winds.

.

The orchard with oranges, lemons, figs, and other trees in season provides an ample supply of fresh fruit. A huge gas BBQ will make any meat lover's heart beat faster.

 

But the key feature of the outsides is the views:

Just across the lake you will see La Maroma, the highest peak of the Parque Natural Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama. Under the brilliant blue skies of the Axarquia, the white villages of Alcaucin, Canillas de Aceituno and Periana shine in the distance and add a sparkle of light in the evenings.

 

And everywhere around the house you'll see almond trees blossom early in the year and smell the pines, olive trees and vines covering the slopes.
