Comares village is a 10 minute drive from the property, a stunning, white-washed village and in fact the highest in the whole of the Axarquia region with a relaxed attitude to life. Village shops will cater for basic everyday needs and there are several bars serving good tapas, meals and local wine.

Town facilities including a modern shopping centre, multi cinema, street market and water park are found in Velez Malaga, around 30 minutes drive.

Exploring Andalucia: Casa Vieja makes a good country base for visiting the most popular sights of Andalucia. Granada and the Alhambra palace is just over 1 hour away by car; with the Sierra Nevada ski resort a short drive from the city of Granada. Seville is well worth a visit at around 2 hours drive. Cordoba is a similar drive and Malaga is just 1 hour by car (bus also available) and is a city of culture, beaches and great shopping. Nerja and its famous caves is a great family day of entertainment.

We recommend our guests to drink bottled water which can be brought locally and cheaply.
During our hottest months there are mosquitos around, we do recommend you bring repellant.

A welcome pack will await your arrival.
