Casa Noela Torrox by Ruralidays

We spent four weeks at Sergio and his family's house, from mid-February to mid-March. It is a lovely house in a nice location. Not too high in the hills, not too far from the coast. The house has everything for a comfortable stay, as if it were your own home rather than a holiday rental. Basic kitchen items such as oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices are also readily available. The house has good heating facilities in the form of both air conditioning (in both the living area and the bedroom) and a large pellet stove. This pellet stove is not mentioned in the house description, nor are there any photos on the website, but it is relevant to know. We used the pellet stove in the evenings and it was very cozy (bags of pellets are available for purchase at the Eroski hypermarket in Torre del Mar). The house is bright, particularly because a large skylight has been installed (on the east side). Furthermore, the extra space attached to the bedroom is the house's biggest bonus. A room with floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides, with two lounge chairs (only one is shown in the photos) and a view of the sea. It is lovely to watch the sun set over Torrox Costa in the late afternoon while enjoying a glass of wine. The bed is relatively narrow but is very comfortable. Almost every day we were able to have breakfast outside on the covered terrace. At this time of year, the sun still shines through the canopy, making it pleasant very quickly (even at temperatures of 12 to 13 degrees). From the house, it is about a 5-minute drive to the main road that runs along the coast. Part of the road down is paved, but in poor condition and quite narrow on a small section, and part is unpaved, as is the case in many places in the region once you turn off the main roads. We were not bothered at all by the highway the house overlooks. Sergio took good care of us. He can be at the house within 10 minutes if necessary. Communication with him went excellently, partly in English and partly with the help of Google Translate.

We were given co-ordinates for the site which were wrong and took us 20 minutes away, once we got to the accommodation the pool was dirty so we had to get someone out to clean the pool.You had everything you needed for a home from home stay just the start of the break wasn’t the best.The journey to the accommodation is ok once you get used to it but it is a narrow dirt track for the last 5 mins

Die Finca liegt sehr idyllisch und ruhig in den Bergen. Man benötigt ein Auto zum einkaufen etc.

Obwohl die Straße zum Haus uneben und recht schmal ist, lohnt sich die Fahrt. Das Haus ist sehr schön und bietet einen schönen Blick aufs Meer in der Ferne.

Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir hatten unseren Aufenthalt gar um eine Woche verlängert, weil wir sehr zufrieden waren. Die Anfahrt über teils nicht asphaltierten Weg hat zwar einige Schlaglöcher ist dennoch gut machbar. Im Haus findet man dann eine moderne Ausstattung und helle Räumlichkeiten mit bodentiefen Fenstern vor. Wir haben es sehr genossen auf den Sesseln mit Blick in die Ferne zu frühstücken. Dank Mini-Pellet-Offen kann man für Wärme und Gemütlichkeit sorgen. Die Internetgeschwindigkeit von 100 MBit Down- und 25 Mbit Upload ist gut zum Arbeiten geeignet. Leider ist die Tür zum Schlafzimmer nur eine Schiebetür, die Geräusche nicht abschirmt, was ein paralleles Arbeiten erschwert. Wir hatten das Glück den sehr netten Eigentümer kennenzulernen, während die Abwicklung ansonsten über eine sehr professionelle Agentur erfolgt. Vom Eigentümer hatten wir viel Unterstützung erfahren. Gerne wieder.
