About this villa rental
Cortijo Contrares is a converted farmhouse set on top of a ridge between Alora (15 mins) and Pizarra (15 mins). It sits within its own 23 acre olive grove of more than 1600 olive and fruit trees. There are spectacular views across the hills and down towards the coast. If you are looking for a private and tranquil experience then Cortijo Contrares is perfect for you. The property is entered through a large manicured courtyard. The swimming pool (11x7m) has been designed to an exceptional standard and is approached from the villa via a series of terraces. Cortijo Contrares is a perfect holiday location for a family or group of friends and is ideally suited for exploring Andalucia. Seville and Granada are within easy reach as is the coast at Marbella. The villa is equipped, throughout, to a very high standard and included is unlimited internet access via wifi. We have recently installed AC in all of the bedrooms and living areas and updated previous AC units to modern standards. A car is needed for this property due to its remote location.

Great property. Large enough to find own space- lots of room for 5 adults. Super pool- the house is well maintained throughout. Friendly help from the caretaker who came every couple of days to clean the pool and check that all was well with us and the house. Great terrace area for meals with family or just chilling with a coffee or beer. Very good communication with the owner who gave good advice and was very helpful. The whole experience was straightforward and stress free.

We had a fantastic week at the property and couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was also a great place for oil painting! Very well managed by the owner and Doug. Thanks very much Paul.

Stayed at the villa in early September and had an amazing time. The communication with the owner beforehand was polite, friendly and made us all look forward to the stay.
The house has been very clean upon our arrival, the pool area got cleaned 3 times a week and we had a guy to call if any problems should ever arise (they did not). Kitchenspace was nice and tidy, the outside area made for wonderful breakfast with a fantastic view.
The only downside to the house is the road leading there, but that is only the last ~1000m and if you are prepared and rented a little bigger rental car, there is no trouble with that (we had a nissan qashqai)
pizzara holds all kinds of supermarkets for everyday needs. Alhora even has one open on sunday.
The drive to and from Malaga is easy and we even drove the 2 hours to sevilla and didnt have trouble on the road at all.
The Caminito del Ray is about 40 min away and if you stay here you should definitely get ticktes.
To sum things up, we had a great time and would definitely do it again.
Thanks to Paul & Doug :)
