Located on the edge of the Nature Park of the Almijara Mountains and set among pine and olive trees, the two houses (about 100 metres apart) have unbelievable views and an away-from-it-all tranquility. They are 9 kms from the seaside town of Nerja and 2 kms from the charming old village of Frigiliana. Guests will need a car for access and, as the last kilometre of the road is dirt, should be experienced drivers.

In addition to the two bedrooms (one with double bed, one with twin beds), this house has a spacious lounge with a fireplace, a kitchen-diner and a bathroom with shower. Facilities include a fridge-freezer, a hob, an oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a CD-radio and satellite TV (English and German channels).

We built this house with natural and rustic materials: wood, handmade terracotta tiles, cast-iron fittings and comfortable furniture all contribute to its welcoming and cozy feeling. The walls are decorated with original paintings from our own collection. There is a small library with English and Spanish novels and fine-art books and a collection of CDs, all of which complement the tranquil surroundings.

Outside there is a terrace with a Bar-B-Q and a pool (5.5 x 3 metres x 1.2 deep). From there, in addition to the magnificent views, there are often sightings of the protected fauna of the area: eagles, goats, squirrels and boars.

Because El Torin and La Reserva are a short walk from one another, they are ideally suited for groups who want nearby but separate accommodation.
