About this property

Well-maintained, independent finca in the foothills of Andalusia, just for you

Fuente de Hierro, the "iron spring", has been the name of the country for many centuries on which your finca with old trees stands. Even the Moors stopped here on their way from the coast via the Sierra to Granada and fetched their water here. During your stay on your finca you can have approx. (2x) 150 m² living space (ground floor, upper floor) with weather-controlled underfloor heating.
The pool is heated on request.
Depending on the position of the sun, you can choose between an east, south or west roof, pool or grill terrace.
You can enter the ground floor either directly from the large parking lot via the dining room or via the living room / south terrace. The kitchen, all doors and cupboards were made by a carpenter from Vélez-Málaga for Fuente de Hierro. Natural and earth colors characterize the interior of the finca. The walls have been specially cleaned in a rustico style, just as the fincas all looked much earlier.
You are the only guests. :-)
Finca Fuente de Hierro has its own private pool. You are always the only guests.
Finca Fuente de Hierro (approx. 1,500 sqm) is 800 m high, is built on two floors and has 150 sqm on the ground floor and 140 sqm on the first floor.
You are always the only guests and can enjoy your vacation with up to 10 (max. 15) people. Depending on your taste, you can retreat and enjoy the peace and quiet on the various spacious terraces, or socialize with the others in your group or with your family members.

The pool of Finca Fuente de Hierro is approx. 9m x 4m in size, with pool interior lighting and can be heated by arrangement. The counter current system is also available.

Finca Fuente de Hierro has quiet microprocessor-controlled air conditioning systems. The weather-controlled underfloor heating is simply very pleasant, especially for the transitional period or for the winter months. The system is mainly powered by the sun through solar thermal panels. The auxiliary heater for low-solar days is a quiet heat pump.
Of course bed linen and towels are available for you, the two kitchens are fully equipped.
Especially the washing machines (incl. Washing powder) are welcome for our guests with children: just wash your clothes so that they are fresh the next day, your luggage will be easier.
Hiking (maps in the living room) in the Sierra de Almijarra / de Tejeda nature park and golfing on the coast (Baviera Golf) are possible. This is the ideal place for individual holidays for lovers and demanding people. You will find peace and relaxation here and are the only guests.
You will be looked after by our lovely administrator Candido.

There are soap dispensers with pH-neutral soap on all sinks. There are also soap dispensers in the showers, filled with pH-neutral shower gel.

Additional information: We would be happy to send you our brochure or the very detailed information folder.

Getting there: You can either arrive by car or fly directly to Málaga and then take a rental car at the airport. You can find a detailed description in the brochure or the information folder, which we will be happy to send you. You will be received by our administrator and instructed in the finca. If your arrival is late, the manager will be waiting for you, should the delay extend into the night, you will find everything illuminated and open-minded. The administrator then comes the next morning. Depending on the weather, the manager will be present several times a week on the finca for watering the plants, cleaning the pool and taking care of the land.

Great stay at Finca
We had a wonderful stay at Ralf’s place. The accommodation was lovely and peaceful and there’s lots of different exterior spaces to enjoy. The views are amazing. The pool terrace was particularly lovely to chill and relax. Would recommend going to the supermarket on your way to the Finca as there are no local shops close by, the last leg of the journey is off road so bear this in mind. The kitchen was fully equipped which was perfect for our stay. Ralf was a very attentive and responsive host. Would highly recommend this property.

Superbe maison
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cet propriété, qui est magnifique et très bien équipée. l’emplacement est vraiment très isolé avec un accès en voiture un peu rude, en pleine montagne pour un vrai dépaysement. Mais un peu loin de des magasins !!! Le propriétaire est très à l’écoute pour n’importe quelle questions, il est près à trouver une solution pour tt problème éventuel. Je recommande c’est propriété !!!

Great place, excellent host
(English below) Un grupo de 9 familiares pertenecientes a tres generaciones hemos pasado una semana estupenda en Fuente del Hierro. El entorno es espectacular, la casa espaciosa y agradable, dividida en dos viviendas independientes perfectamente equipadas, y el anfitrion, Ralf, es extraordinariamente atento y amable. Esta claro que disfruta del area y de su casa y le gusta compartirlas. Muchas gracias, Ralf por todas tus atenciones. Hemos pasado unos dias estupendos! A group of 9 family members from three generations spent a fantastic week at Fuente del Hierro. The area is spectacular, the house, divided in two apartments completely independent, is spacious and pleasant and perfectly equipped, and the host, Ralf, is extraordinarily attentive, helpful, and kind. It's clear that he enjoys the area and his house, and takes pleasure in sharing them. Thank you very much Ralf for all your help and kindness. We had a wonderful time!

Amazing summer hols with friends n family
What can I say ...apart from this place is AMAZING. The communication from the owner from the moment we booked to when we landed back in the UK was absolutely fantastic . We went with our friends so the seperate apartments were great to allow us our own personal space . The pool area is fantastic too!! The road up is off road at a certain point but we managed with 2 little fiat 500's and the directions from Ralf were spot on ! We did call at the local Lidl ( 30 mins approx)from airport before arriving at Finca , which is a must so you can just chill for a few days . The place is more than well equipped for everyone's needs . This was the first time our friends have experienced a week in a Finca and off the beaten track and are totally smitten ... who wouldn't be ... you get your own space, a great pool , outside area and stargazing at its best So thanks Ralf for an amazing stay and hope we get to come back again!!!
