This property looked great in the advert but in reality it is absolutely superb. It is stunning inside and out. The villa, gardens and pool area are pristine. The pool kitchen is wonderful and we cooked and ate there most days. We certainly had everything we needed, in terms of facilities, within the property and so much more. Very private with only olive trees for neighbours! The local village is within walking distance but it is up a very steep hill which can be a challenge in the heat. We hired a car and would say it is essential to do so. We went out and about and thoroughly enjoyed many of the local sights. The coastal resorts are only 40 minutes away.
We would recommend this property without hesitation to anyone who is looking to get away from it all. A little piece of paradise!!!

Finca was perfect for the 5 of us that went. Its outside spaces were definately the highlight, wonderful terrace with stunning views and the pool area was large, safe and got sunlight all day. When we arrived the villa and grounds were spotlessly clean, full of beautiful flowers and trees and obviously well looked after:the owner visited at least 2 or 3 times a week to maintain the grounds and pool but didnt interfere or bother us. It was also a very secure location and we felt very safe and being just outside the village gave us total privacy. The only slight downside would be the amount of communal space inside the villa, only 4 people can be seated comfortably in the lounge and dining area. However, this made no odds to us as we spent practically no time indoors, and the kitchens, bed and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. The village is quite remote, takes about 20 mins to get to the motorway down widing roads but again we felt this was an advantage, really felt out in the country! Overall we would have absolutely no qualms in highly recommending Finca to others, we had a fantastic hiloday there and would probably stay there again if we returned to the area. The owner and villarenters representative were also friendly and very helpful.

Private Owner From Villanueva Del La Concepcion, Spain Member since Feb 2003
I live very happily with my wife, Nalini, in Santa Maria Del Cerro, near the village of Villanueva De La Concepcion. I was teaching in England, and Nalini was an HMI, when this life journey began for us townies in 1999. We bought land, a green field plot on a hillside, and decided where to site our house on the land, and what it would be like. Later we also bought two rental properties, to realise the dream of working for ourselves in our chosen environment. Without intruding on our guests' privacy, we like to impart our enthusiasm for what we value and appreciate in our life here in rural Andalucia. We try to imbibe the culture of this people, inasmuch as a foreigner can gain an insight. For the most part we like the local people we meet for their warmth, their self-possession, and their unpretentious charm. To relax I explore the villages, towns, cities and countryside of Spain. I enjoy eating out with friends and family. We entertain our children and grandchildren here. The beauty of nature and the climate encourage, and enable us, to spend time working and relaxing outdoors. Life here, which is so different from what we were used to in England, continues to please and satisfy us: we are still “on holiday” every day. Nalini is a practising artist, who is inspired as a result of what she experiences here in Andalucia. When I visit England, I am conscious of missing what I leave behind here, such as the bright light and space – as in wide open spaces, as in enough space to park ten cars; as in having space in the day to talk to my neighbours. Here I relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of driving into the village, the first view of the Torcal a few minutes into the journey, or going round the Torcal, and later the view of the castle on the approach to Antequera. Here, I, the boy from the East End of London, know that I have come a long way, as I gaze across the swimming pool at distant mountains, but I also enjoy days out with family and friends down on the coast.
