Finca Cencerrita

Finca with Private Pool, Hot Tub/Spa, Panoramic Mountain Views, Very Secluded Location
A paradise for walkers, birdwatchers, painters and anyone simply wants to relax!

Escape to our haven of peace in the countryside to unwind from the pressures of modern life. Spectacular view from the sea to the mountains. Relax and feel the quiet tranquillity of the mountains seep into your soul. A wonderful, idyllic mountain holiday retreat perched high over the Guadalhorce Valley - the world at your feet - The dramatic Sierra de las Nieves to the West; the Mediterranean Sea gleaming in the South; below the white villages dot the Andalucian valley against the vivid green of the lemon and orange groves. La Cencerrita covers nearly 8 acres of gently sloping mountain side interspersed with almond and olive trees, carpeted in the spring with wild flowers.

A holiday at La Cencerrita is all about unwinding from the pressures of modern life. Sit in the warm Spanish sunshine and just CHILL! However .... if you do need to move on the odd occasion , just 30 minutes are the towns of Cartama and Alora where there are connections to public transport. By car, the coast is some 50 mins away, as is Malaga. The canyon of El Chorro is under an hours drive in the other direction. A paradise for walkers, birdwatchers, painters and anyone else who wants to be far from the madding crowd - the skies are an astronomers paradise! Those who enjoy yoga and meditation have found the roof terrace a peaceful and soothing place to practise.

La Cencerrita combines the best of the traditional elements of an Andalusian farm cottage, whilst recognising those on holiday have different needs. Gone are the tiny, barred windows – now replaced with full length French doors – we couldn’t bear to hide the views! Sitting areas have been created to take into account the wide ranging temperatures throughout the year: whether you want sun or shade, the breeze or to be sheltered – somewhere you will find your perfect spot.

Little touches like towelling gowns provided for use after the spa or pool, torches with rechargeable batteries, a bottle of wine to welcome you are all part and parcel of the Cencerrita experience. Maybe best of all, is that we meet you in the local village to guide you to Cencerrita - we don't want you to get lost on the first day of your holiday! This is a great relief to most ... especially when arriving in the dark!

We will also cook dinner (12 € each) for you on the first night if you would like - cooking is often the last thing you want to do after a long day travelling.

If you do not want to hire a car, we are happy to pick you up from Malaga airport (35 euros each way). We also run some excursions in the area such as El Chorro and Ronda - please email us or see our website for further details.

Guest comments:
As a second time Cencerritaist I cannot believe how fast two weeks can pass in this heavenly place. This year was every bit as magnificent as the last"
"This was our third visit and each time we have had the most wonderful, relaxing, stress free holiday. The villa is wonderful, the mountains and surrounding are superb, with the most wonderful way to end the day in the got tub watching the moon and the stars."
"A fantastic oasis to retreat from the world and do nothing except relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery - especially from the spa."
