OUR VILLA

‘Casa Paradiso’ was built approximately 20 years ago on what would have been described at the time as campo land. Campo land was the agricultural land and rough goat pasture land around the towns and pueblos that the peasant farmers scraped a living from. As the town of Nerja has expanded over the past 20 years, mainly due to tourism in the area, the outskirts of the town now stretch to the road that leads to villa. The villa is less than 5 minutes by car from the famous Balcon de Europa and a 10 minute walk will take you to the many beaches and coves that are in abundance along the Nerja town coastline.

Nerja is in the province of Andalucia in the Axarquia region and is best described as the western Costa Del Sol. Malaga and its airport are less than 40minutes away and almost all major airports in the UK fly to Malaga. Traditionally the British turned right on arrival to Malaga and the tourist resorts of Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella were the first areas that developed with the explosion of tourism in the late sixties.

The western Costa Del Sol did not receive the same attention, mainly due to the difficulty of transportation, and as such is considered to still be 'real Spain'. The Towns population is approximately 24,000 with 19,000 Spanish residence, English emigrants number approximately 3000 with remainder split evenly between Germans and Scandinavians. The town swells in the summer months to around 45,000 with the majority of visitors coming from the northern cities of Madrid and Valencia and of course the UK.

The villa with its easy access to the town and the beaches is a perfect spot to enjoy the best of both worlds, peaceful privacy in the garden with pool, or bustling cafes and entertainment on the Balcon de Europa.

The accommodation at the villa is on ground floor level with no steps to negotiate. The two bedrooms available are set up as twin and a single; both bedrooms share a large wet room bathroom. All access doors are 820mm wide and televisions with DVD and Videos are in each of the rooms. There is also a library of books.

Within the gardens there are a variety of trees that include lemon, olive and oranges. The huge palm that provides shade by the pool is a favourite place to avoid the heat of the sun in the summer months. A dartboard, pool table, exercise machine and bikes are available together with books and magazines for the less energetic.

The villa has a large BBQ area and bar with terraces that are accessible and usable. The property is a family home and a place where guests are invited and encouraged to take part in all aspects of family life.

The majority of the year allows for eating outside, the villa has an upper terrace which is great for breakfast; the views of the mountains and the sea are breathtaking. The lower terrace under the Andalucian arches is a cool place to have lunch and when the heat of the day has waned the BBQ area really comes into its own.

All guests to the villa can choose what they want to eat and where they want to eat it, most choose to join us, privacy is respected for those that want it. Eating out is a way of life here and all are encouraged to try the local food and for those on the fully inclusive package visits to the local restaurants that offer all types of food is included.

All age groups have enjoyed their visits, the beach and the night life suits the younger visitors and the calm of the garden and the pool others, although it has to be said that some of our not so young guests have been known to belt out the odd karaoke song and taste the sangria at some of the later nightspots!

The Tourist Board of Spain had a slogan that stated:

'Spain is Different'

come and see for yourselves how what we have to offer is different also!
