About this property

Characterful, Stylish 'Finca' with Heated Pool & Mountain Views (Beach 25 mins)

Rustic, stylish finca with 3 bedrooms - 1 very large super king size with en-suite shower room, 1 twin bedroom, and 1 double with en-suite bathroom. Heated pool (gets to about 25 degrees from April onwards), very large terrace, landscaped gardens with stunning views. 10 mins drive from Competa where you'll find restaurants, bars, and shops. Beach 25 mins. 45 mins from airport. A fantastic base for a holiday at any time of year. Great for walking, cultural or beach holidays. Perfect for families, or groups of friends.

THE FINCA:
Finca Corral Noble is a beautifully restored, 200 year old Andalucian farmhouse full of rustic charm and character whilst also providing all the necessary modern amenities. It is 45 mins drive from the airport, easily approached down a short, well-maintained concrete drive and has private parking for several vehicles. The finca looks out onto a very large, secluded, walled courtyard boasting breathtaking panoramic views across The Almijara Sierra National Park. It has a covered jasmine and palm decked 'al fresco' dining area and an 8 x 4m heated pool. A natural canopy of shade is provided by a beautiful old carob tree believed to be as old as the finca itself. Inside and out the finca retains all its rustic charm including beamed ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and a wood-burning stove/fireplace. The thick whitewashed wall interior is beautifully cool and tastefully furnished in Andalucian style. A stroll around the extensive garden provides other shady sitting spots and viewing areas and a chance to harvest ripening fruit.

AREA:
The finca lies on the border of the Sierra Almijara National Park in a spectacular and rugged mountain setting. A self-catering holiday at the finca can combine a peaceful mountain holiday stay with a 25 minute access to the popular beach resort of Nerja.

Nerja is a bustling cosmopolitan resort with bars restaurants and night-life to match (if you want it). The magnificent city of Granada and the world famous Alhambra Palace is only 1 hour 20 mins drive away. Malaga is 1 hour away - a wonderful city with much to offer. Seville, Cordoba, Ronda are all also within reach. There is much to do and explore also in the immediate vicinity of the finca too.

Competa lies just 3 km away. It is a magnificent white mountain village (pueblo blanco) known as 'The Pearl of the Axarquia'. It clings to the mountain side just as the other smaller villages nearby. It is a 'real' Spanish village and has all your holiday requirements: including a good selection of shops (fresh fish every day), bars, restaurants, a health centre, and dentist. We recommend having a cafe con leche in the square and 'people watching'!

Many people visit the Axarquia to walk, and we can highly recommend this as walkers ourselves. From all day treks high up in the mountains, to short rambles suitable for all ages and abilities - there is something for everyone when it comes to walking in the area. In the finca you will find plenty of walking books and printouts that you are welcome to use.

SUMMARY:
A holiday at the finca is suitable for you if you like getting away from it all but still having options for the beach or cultural days out. It is a private and relaxing place for young and old alike. The terrace is a safe area - the pool is not gated however so do take care and always watch youngsters. You will love the secluded terrace with its comfortable wooden steamers and the 'al fresco' dining and proper Weber charcoal BBQ.

If you like old characterful houses furnished with style, ideally located, with a peaceful terrace offering fabulous mountain views... then Finca Corral Noble is for you!
During your stay at this farm stay, you're just a quick walk from Mirador Panoramico. You'll find features such as a water park.
  • Splash around at the water park
  • Amenities include a terrace
  • Just a 4-minute walk from Mirador Panoramico and 9 minutes on foot from The Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara & Alhama
Characterful, Stylish 'Finca' with Heated Pool & Mountain Views (Beach 25 mins) offers its guests a water park. A terrace, barbecue grills, and a garden are also featured at the family-friendly Characterful, Stylish 'Finca' with Heated Pool & Mountain Views (Beach 25 mins).

Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Còmpeta farm stay.

Beautiful get away in the hills
We had a beautiful stay at the Finca. The pool was absolutely perfect, with toys in the shed and lights the evening. The roads up to the Finca are windy but manageable and there is nothing but hills and peace all around. There are local shops in Torrox and Nerja that have good opening hours. Nicole was incredibly helpful and we can’t thank her enough. Highly recommend!

An excellent holiday at this beautiful finca!
We had a superb family holiday here and the finca was well worth the windy journey up into the mountains. The scenery is stunning and it was great to sit in garden and look out over the Spanish countryside. The finca was well equipped, beautifully and tastefully decorated and we especially liked the outside eating areas and pool which was just about warm enough in October! We plan to return next year!

Une charmante finca !
Nous avons passé 11 jours (du 14/08 au 25/08) dans cette charmante villa avec des amis. Ce fut 11 jours de vacances totales ! La finca est magnifique. Elle est dotée d'une superbe terrasse avec une magnifique vue et une grande piscine (vraiment très bien placée !), ombragée l'après-midi grâce à un grand eucalyptus. Cet eucalyptus dégage un magnifique parfum en fin d'après-midi ! La finca est située au bout d'une ruelle très tranquille, sans bruit malgré les quelques voisins. De plus, elle est sans vis-à-vis. Nous avons adoré rencontrer Nicole et son mari. ils habitent une magnifique villa dans la rue. Ils s'occupent de l'entretien de la propriété et sont vraiment très gentils. La villa a son propre parking privé (avec un portail) et est très bien agencée, elle a une très grande cuisine très bien équipée, un salon très reposant, trois belles chambres (dont deux équipées d'un wc et d'une salle de bain chacune - vraiment très pratique). Nous avons eu un peu de mal pour trouver notre finca : il manque énormément de panneaux indicateurs en Espagne (sauf sur l'autoroute!). Nous avons été obligés de demander notre chemin au patron d'un beau restaurant (El Pavo Real - on y mange pas mal !) situé à environ 1 km de la finca. Mais une fois que la villa a été trouvée, c'était génial ! De plus, elle est située à environ deux ou trois kms de Competa, où il y a tous les commerces nécessaires. Competa est une petite ville a visiter absolument. C'est une des villes aux maisons blanches les plus jolies d'Andalousie. Il faut absolument parcourir toutes les petites ruelles blanches qui partent de place, vous y trouverez des restaurants et des petits magasins vraiment sympathiques. Nous avons adoré le petit magasin de fabrique d'objets en cuir, situé sur la place Almijara (là où se trouve la magnifique église et son clocher). La vendeuse (et propriétaire du magasin avec son mari Espagnol) est française est vraiment très gentille. C'est son mari qui fabrique les objets en cuir. De plus, la finca est à environ 10 ou 12 km de Torrox, petite ville où il y a une belle plage (il faut environ 20 min pour y aller). Enfin, tout ça pour dire que nous pensons y retourner dès que nous pourrons !!! ce fut un régal de vacance ! Laurence et Alexandre (Aveyron - France)

Lieu calme et apaisant
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, Nicole et son époux nous ont bien accueilli et sont également très disponibles. Le gîte est très fonctionnel dans un paysage apaisant et reposant. Quelques petits désagréments, comme les coupures d'eau venant de la commune sinon pas grand chose à reprocher.

Skøn finca i rolige omgivelser
Vi har været super tilfredse med at bo i dette hus. Det ligger skønt i bjergene på vejen til Competa. Desværre oplevede vi hver eneste dag, at der blev slukket for vandet. Nogle gange i op til 24 timer i træk. Det er noget utilfredsstillende. Man kan ikke vaske op, man kan ikke vaske tøj (vi vælger altid huse med vaskemaskine) og man kan ikke komme i bad. Det sidste er, især, i disse coronatoder, et stort problem., da vi ikke engang kunne få vasket hænder. Efterfølgende har vi fået af vide at der hver eneste sommer bliver tændt og slukket for vandet, nærmest hver eneste dag. Det var en information vi meget gerne ville have haft.

Todo es mejorable
Regular, hay muchas cosas en el mantenimiento de la casa que se pueden mejorar, la tv para empezar está en extranjero nada más, no hay canales españoles, imposible ver fútbol o los niños dibujos, la solución que se nos dio, que nos fuésemos a un bar a verlo. La piscina sucia, a causa del viento si, pero si no barremos todas las hojas que hay en el patio es lógico que se ensucie tanto, las luces del jardín y piscina no luce ninguna, el foco de la piscina roto, dentro de la casa más luces fundidas, manguera bastante deteriorada tuvimos que arreglarla nosotros, avisperos por las mesas y tumbonas, el tejado de la casa lleno, mosquiteras rotas sobre todo la de la habitación principal, por lo tanto, lo dicho, el mantenimiento bastante mejorable. A su favor la cocina, bastante nueva y muy bien equipada y la tranquilidad de la zona aunque la carretera hasta llegar allí se haga eterna.

Alojamiento confortable con buena ubicación
El alojamiento nos permitió una estancia cómoda de sobra (éramos cuatro adultos, aunque tiene capacidad para fid más). Muy bien equipado para facilitar el estar cómodos en su interior y disfrutar de su exterior, con una orientación perfecta y con una piscina deliciosa!!. Además tiene una ubicación que permite organizar salidas para hacer rutas de senderismo, ir a la playa o conocer pueblos. Así que resulta totalmente recomendable.

Perfect :-)
We were in this beautiful old house for two weeks in July. The house is amazing, everything perfectly clean. The beds are very comfortable. There is everything you need in the kitchen. The pool is also great. You always find a shady place, there is also enough outdoor furniture. The organization beforehand was easy and nice. On-site Tish and Al take care of everything very well and are quickly available if you have questions or problems. We really enjoyed the stay and can highly recommend it.
