About this property

Little corner of paradise with large wooded garden for nature lovers

ATTACHED HOUSE on 2 levels, 1 room, kitchen, bathroom, swimming pool shared with the owners. Internet via optical fiber.

At an altitude of 850 meters, at the heart of Andalusia in the countryside, is set in a green park area which extends over 1,7 hectares and is tastefully planted with exotic trees and flowers.

Adjoining to Casa Christa, Casita Elisa opens onto a shady terrace with a barbecue, and close to the pool which is accessed by a paved path, winding between bushes of lavender, oleander and yuccas.Casita Elisa is set on two levels and offers intimacy and tranquillity in its beautiful surroundings. Although situated on a SLOPING GROUND, its staircases and fitted-out paths make for easy access. You can take advantage of its swimming pool, SHARED with the owners Christa and Pascal, its numerous shady terraces and its petanque field.In the various hidden recesses of its park you will discover places ideal for meditation. You can relax by listening to the sounds of the many birds and the tinkling of the bells on the neighboring goats herds.

It is close to the villages of Alfarnate and Alfarnatejo and has extensive views across the mountains of Malaga, right down to the sea. Situated just 50 km from the old town of Malaga and the international airport, it is the ideal base for nature lovers, sportsmen, walkers and climbers and for enthusiasts who wish to explore the cultural and architectural treasures of Andalusia.

Ideally situated in the center of Andalusia, you will find in the immediate neighborhood, Archidona, Antequera and Málaga. Other cities within easy reach include Grenada, Ronda, Córdoba, Jaen, Seville, and Cadiz, as well as the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains, all served by good roads and motorways.

For walkers and hikers there are numerous routes in the region, some on the periphery of the property.

For climbers there are climbing’s cliffs, the closest being less than 10 kms distant near Alfarnate, and the world-famous site of El Chorro is just 65 kms away.

For those who prefer the sea it is less than 45 kms, with a choice of sandy beaches to the west of Málaga and those wilder and more rocky beaches which offer excellent diving and sub aqua possibilities, east of Velez-Málaga.

The roads of our region are ideal for cycling excursions and you may bring your own bicycle or rent one from a number of providers locally.

The moments spent in this paradise will leave you with unforgettable memories.

And with our water coming straight from the mountains, solar hot water, all low wattage lighting, we try to have as little impact on our environment as possible.

If you want to visit the Alhambra in Granada and/or do the Caminito del Rey, we recommend that you make a reservation well in advance.

A paradise awaits
If you have an idyllic dream to escape the rat-race and go to where the sun shines and you can laze around overlooking pristine landscapes of olive trees and farmlands, then this is definitely for you. Our stay at Casa Elisa was brilliant. From the moment we arrived and received such a warm welcome from Pascal and Christa, the owners, to the moment we sadly had to say goodbye to them 22 days later, it was sheer heaven. The owners go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and they are extremely aware that your privacy throughout the stay is ensured. They are very helpful with any information and go the extra mile for their visitors. The accommodation is wonderful with all the amenities necessary for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped for anyone who enjoys to cook, and there are many extras which one does not expect. The bedroom has very comfortable beds and the entire Casita is extremely tastefully decorated. The Casita is newly appointed and very well cared for. The private outdoor areas, of which there are many, have the most beautiful views across the hilly, pastoral landscapes of this lovely part of Southern Spain. The sound of horses and the bells of goats makes for an extremely peaceful escape from the madding crowds of modern-day life. The Casita boasts fabulous gardens and a sparkling pool, and even a 600 metre walk in the bush around the property. There is also access to the farm roads that lead to the nearest village, providing a quiet strolling opportunity without any traffic at all. The Casita is so well positioned, in that it is almost equidistant from Malaga, Granada, Ronda, Seville and Cordoba. This makes day trips to these centres (and all the places in between) very easy, with the added attraction that you can return to the peaceful haven of your own “home” in the countryside, in the evening. What an absolute pleasure! We certainly were living our dream by staying at Casita Elisa. It makes you want to leave your old life behind, and move there. We could not have wished for a better place to spend a holiday, and with such caring hosts. It exceeded all our expectations and is very highly recommended.

Great vacation spot
We spent 5 nights here. The accommodation is new, and well maintained with everything you need. The gardens are wonderful, with lots of spaces (including the pool) to relax. The host, Christa, was very helpful and generous - providing us in with information on what to see in the area, a lift after a hike and wonderful treats like fresh cherries. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore this beautiful area of Spain.

Perfekt
Für uns war hier einfach alles perfekt ! Schon vor der Anreise bekamen wir wertvolle Tipps von Christa und Pascal. Als ruhiger Ausgangspunkt für schöne Wanderungen oder als Startpunkt zum Meer oder den vielen sehenswerten Orten in der Region mit dem Auto. Wer einen wunderschönen ruhigen Ort sucht, wo man im Garten relaxen kann und diesen als Ausgangspunkt für alle Aktivitäten nutzt, ist hier genau richtig. Was für herzliche Gastgeber, die uns jederzeit, wenn wir sie brauchten, mit Rat und Tat zur Seite standen. Englisch, Spanisch, Deutsch und Französisch, Kommunikation in 4 Sprachen möglich. Also wirklich sehr zu empfehlen.

Just perfect
We had an amazing stay in casita Elisa. The owners Christa & Pascal live in the adjacent house and are always available for practical questions or a quick chat. Also, they really make an effort to make you feel at home and give you a lot of privacy and space. We found them to be perfect hosts. The casita itself is very well equipped and beautifully decorated with art from Christa. The many outside terraces give you a lot of options to seek shade and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and views while enjoying a good glas of wine and a meal cooked on the barbecue or in the kitchen. There are many options for day trips to villages and cities nearby. Also, it's a good idea to bring hiking boots because there are many hiking trails starting at the casita by foot or just a 10 minutes drive away by car. Pascal was more than happy to help us with giving advice on good routes. The views of the night sky and stars by the pool at night were also incredible. We won't hesitate to come back and definitely recommend this piece of Andalusian paradise. Thank you.
