We rent the house out when we are not using it and although the wardrobes will be clear, you will find it full of our own things as this is our second home. We ask that you replace any food or toiletries, washing powder etc that you finish with the same. (Everything can be bought at Al Campo – the large supermarket in Motril). We want you to be able to use our toys, videos, tennis rackets or whatever but do take care of them.
If you do break anything, PLEASE let us know so that I can try and bring out the replacement when I next come if you were unable to replace it yourself. |

There are guide books and maps you are welcome to use but, unlike The Casita, the books in the house are to stay in the house so that if you are mid way through a read, you’ll have to leave it in the house, sorry!
The house is entered via a wrought iron gate and blue front door. |

The large MASTER BEDROOM has a balcony overlooking the mountains and sea. Double doors open at the bottom of the bed so you wake up to a wonderful view of the mountains and sea, watching the birds pick the grapes of the vines on the balcony and listening to the distant chime of the goats bells on the hills.

This is a very old house, its walls are crumbly and everything is a little wonky. If you want all mod cons, then this is not really for you but if you want authentic village Spain, with privacy and without the tourists, then it’s perfect.
There is parking close by but you can’t drive the car right up to the front door. Most of the village houses are approached by pathways.
Pets are welcome in the Casita – it’s great dog walking country- but not in the Casa Azul as my son is allergic.
