About this property

Stylish townhouse with superb views, elegant courtyard, pool and large terraces

  • The house is perfectly situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in this lively Spanish town. Perched on a hill overlooking the Guadalhorce valley in the Andalucian mountains, Cuarenta is a superb base for exploring this intriguing area of Spain, for enjoying the Spanish style of life in the town (7 minutes walk to the centre) or just chilling out, lounging on the terraces looking at the wonderful views to the mountains of the National Parks of El Chorro (where you will find the world famous Caminito del Rey) and El Torcal. The fascinating cities of Cordoba, Sevilla and Granada are all close enough for day trips, as is the enchanting town of Ronda. Malaga, an equally exciting city, and the Costa del Sol are only half an hour away by train or car - the beaches, water parks, fun parks, etc. of the Costa being particularly handy for entertaining children.

    The house has been completely refurbished over the last few years to give a light and spacious feel with a large (27 ft x 14 ft) open plan living area, 3 generous bedrooms, new bathroom and separate shower room and revamped kitchen. We have redecorated and retiled throughout and all furnishing and equipment is to a high standard. But in this part of Spain for much of the year life is best conducted outdoors. There is a delightful, plant filled courtyard, three terraces with a pool and BBQ and stunning views. So, explore historic Old Spain, walk in wonderful hills or enjoy restaurants, shops and life in a lively and very Spanish town - delightful, and plenty for the kids to do as well.

Beautiful spot and lovely terraces

We had a really nice break in Álora, by chance arriving just in time for the Feria. The terraces and pool in the garden are lovely and we spent time looking at the hills and stars, as well as visiting Malaga, which is also great and was a little cooler (though still very hot!).

Perfect for Climbers

We are keen rock climbers and Kevin's place was a perfect base for our day trips. We stayed in January. The heaters & fireplace made our stay nice and cosy. Situated in a quite cul-de-sac best to back the car in for an easy getaway!

Peaceful break in the mountains

A beautiful house, high up looking over the Town and the far off mountains. Highlight was the people of Alora coming out for the parade of Our Lady of Flowers on Saturday night... and Caminito del Reyes, and just lazing in Autumn sun.

What a gem!

Wonderful cycling holiday and the property exceeded expectations! The outside space is sensational - we enjoyed every evening on the roof terrace with a beer. We lucked out with the weather - we don't usually! We go on a cycling holiday every spring and aim to explore somewhere new ... so many great rides right from the doorstep and other road users were extremely courteous to cyclists. Overall we clocked about as much elevation as we would in the alps or pyranees - surprising! The area is much more lush than I was expecting and we were frequently bombarded with the sweet smell of citrus blossom - gorgeous. Alora is a fabulous little white town - very Spanish (obvs!) perched on a hill - a great place to explore and get lost in! Great communication with the owners too. What more can I say?!! A wonderful holiday thank you.

Spacious property in a beautiful small town

A traditional Spanish, rustic property with fantastic outdoor space. A little tired in places but with character and charm. The town and shops are approx 10 minutes walk away, with a range of bars and eateries. This is a typical Spanish town and they don’t really cater for tourists like they do on the coast. The village and scenery is just stunning. We hired a car and could get to the coast in about 40 minutes. Try Maria’s Bar for food and drinks, it’s English owned and the only English bar we came across. A big issue for us was the lack of aircon, we had no idea how hot it would be inland, plus we were there during a heatwave and it never went under 30 degrees, even at night. There are plenty of fans but it’s not the same. The plunge pool was bigger than expected and much needed in the heat. As the last review mentions, the blue paint on the insides of the pool is peeling off quite badly, so the water is full of flakes of paint. It didn’t stop us using it though. All in all, we had a lovely break and would return. Great communication from the owner and the food welcome pack was much appreciated after arriving late at night. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful Views in a Charming Town

Thoroughly enjoyed the views and layout of this apartment. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop patio, pool, private courtyard at the back, and the extra surprise amenities in the fridge. The games and toys on-site were also a treat for the kids. Grocery, bakery, and restaurants were easy to find and the town is a delight to walk around. It truly felt like a home away from home! Special thanks to our hosts!

Our first time in Alora and what a surprise , the house was as described and had all and every amenity you could expect , down to a welcome pack which was a nice touch .The outside areas covered all bases , if you wanted to sunbathe there was an outdoor spacious terrace , and if you wanted to sit in the shade this was also possible . Tonnes of outdoor and indoor space and close enough to the town centre to walk there in 10 minutes or so , a fantastic place and a great holiday

Pleasant townhouse but pool unpleasant.

Pleasant townhouse in a quiet location but unfortunately the pool was not fit for purpose having been internally painted with a sealant which was flaking off and so left loads of floating bits of plastic in the water. H&S issue? Very disappointed that we were not informed before our stay so we could have looked for an alternative, as booking accommodation with a private pool is a priority for us.

What a lovely house!

This is a lovely house set in a quiet neighbourhood of Alora with no passing traffic but parking outside. All the bedrooms were of a good size with lovely wooden shutters and ceiling fans. It was great having the shower/wet room straight off the ground floor patio. No need to go inside when you needed the loo and drag pool water through the house. It has an excellent layout with a dining area straight off the kitchen. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to keep clean. The outside areas are what really make this property special. The splash pool was perfect for cooling off. The middle floor terrace is covered with built in seating. The top terrace has the views! The terraces have lots of well cared for plants which adds to the atmosphere. The caretakers were really responsive to any request we had, as was the owner. El Chorro and the Caminito del Rey is not far away. We spent a few days at the inland beach at la Isla del Chorro which was superb and not crowded at all. A great house to base yourself for exploring the province of Malaga.

Alora town house

The house was at the outside of the town Alora. 15min by foot to the centre which was perfect. The house itselve was OK but used and not perfectely clean, especially the kitchen. The multiple teraces were ideal for enjoying the different corners of the house. We've rented the house for a week and there was no towel and linen change foreseen. This was very unfortunate We could use the washing machine but no soap was foreseen. The welcome drink and snacks however were very appreciated.

Au Top !!

Maison très agréable et très bien équipée. Elle est à proximité du centre ville d'Alora, de ses commerces, bars, restaurants... nous y allions presque tous les soirs à pied pour manger une glace, boire un verre ou manger des tapas ! Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire et à visiter à proximité : Ronda et les nombreux villages blancs des allentours, Le Parc Naturel del Chorro (Rando, lac pour la baignade, pédalo....à environ 30 mns), El Caminito del Rey (Splendide et à faire : on vous conseille de réserver sur internet), Nerja et Maro (vous y trouverez de splendides criques avec une eau cristalline... pour la plongée c'est top - comptez environ 1h20 de route), Malaga (y passer au moins une journée pendant les férias, boire El Cartojal, c'est inoubliable : prendre le train à Alora c'est environ 5€ par personne aller/retour. C'est l'idéal).... Et tant d'autres choses. Merci à Kévin pour ses réponses rapides et ses informations, même si nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu nous rencontrer ! Un seul petit point négatif : beaucoup d'informations sont à notre disposition dans la maison.... mais toutes en ANGLAIS ! Alors pour nous, petits Français : merci google traduction !!!!!! !!!! Nous avons passé de super vacances.... MERCI

Great holiday, fantastic townhouse

Fantastic break at this spacious and conveniently located house in Alora. The outside space is wonderful and has many areas to sit, lounge about, sunbath and cool down. We spent most of our time outside during our stay, enjoying very lazy days . The interior is comfortable and spacious. The location is ideal you feel like you are in the centre of town near to bars, restaurants and shops but have peace and quiet during the day and night. We had very hot weather during our stay, only one wet day ! ( sorry Kevin couldnt resist) Kevin is a great owner who is friendly and his comunication is excellent. Joe and Brian who look after the house are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Alora is a fantastic town with a bit of everything for all. Malaga is only a short train ride away which is a fabulous city. Caminto del ray is a must for anyone with a head for heights. We have already booked for next year.
