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.

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!

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.

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!

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!).

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Mawdesley

Host profile image
I'm sixty-eight and semi-retired, my wife is sixty and the two children are at the point of flying the nest. We've been coming to this house since 2005 and we still enjoy it as much as the first year we came - and we can say the same for Alora and all the enchanting places surrounding. We intend to spend as much time here as we can!!!

Why they chose this property

It ticked every box! We wanted inland, we wanted somewhere with great views and easy access to the countryside but we also wanted the amenities of a town (particularly a good choice of bars and restaurants). So that's me happy, exploring in the day and drinking wine at night. But my wife wisely pointed out, if the children were going to buy into it long term there had to be something for them as well. There's lots of children's play parks and a lovely big open air pool in the town but it was proximity to Aqualand, Tivoli World Funpark, Selwo Marina etc. on the coast that sold them. Everybody happy!!
