A Little gem & great value with a private pool, prepare for rustic charm.
Finca in spanish can mean “plot of land “ as well as farm and this is certainly that. Off the beaten track (10 minutes on a dirt track) so you’ll need a good car, and a good memory for the route back to the road as Sat nav’s and Google maps don’t work this far.
The finca is spotlessly clean, charming, with its own pool and stunning views, surrounded by shady trees, and as such its superb value for money in Mijas surrounds.
a good place for a very rural quiet stay.
Its owner and builder Jose is rightly proud of it, having built it himself and planted the trees that surround and cool over 30 years ago.
Everything works, good shower, oven, wifi excellent etc.. and Jose is keen to be on hand to fix anything swiftly.
Its in the countryside so do expect mozzies, and there are a family of not feral but none the less demanding cats (6 of them!) so you’ll need to like moggies or be prepared to do some shoo-ing.
Main bedroom double bed is very comfortable. Two bunk beds and two singles are..more tailored to youngsters / children.
What you need to know: the arrival and key pick up arrangements are rudimentary, and this is by far best done in the light.
You’ll need to be in good mobile contact with Jose as transfer involves driving to Alhuin Al Grande to meet him on a street, lead to the off road and the finca. All of which is arduous after a long or delayed flight and in darkness.
Comms with Cubos homes was too lacking, but Jose’s willingness and attentiveness makes up for.
