3 Bedroom Place in Malaga, Colmenar

Welcome to Finca Manolo, a sympathetically restored Andalucian farmhouse, which was originally our family home, and now offers personalized and individually decorated accommodation (sorry no IKEA here!) with the emphasis on comfort and relaxation.
The Finca offers plenty of outside space to relax and enjoy the stunning views, where mountains meet the sky and olive groves undulate as far as the eye can see!
Inside we have three double bedrooms, (2 with double beds and a twin with 2 singles), the white washed walls are chunky and help keep you cool in Summer and warm in Winter, original features including traditional wooden windows with shutters, beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and an original fireplace with chimney in the master bedroom. There are 2 shower rooms, one ensuite with twin basins off the dressing room. The cosy lounge has 3 leather sofas and woodburner, original cane and eucalyptus beamed ceiling. An intimate dining room leads to the fully equipped kitchen which overlooks, and has access to, the spacious pool area, with sunbeds and straw umbrellas, a covered dining area and outside kitchen with charcoal BBQ, outside sink and hob.
Steps provide access to a roof terrace with table and chairs, especially nice for taking a sundowner and watching the mountains turn pink at sunset, there is a further shaded dining area under the terrace and chill out corner with stone seating.
Finca Manolo has free wifi, TV, DVD player, dishwasher, private parking and a super king size pool (10m x 5m with roman end steps, mosaic dolphin, depth 1.5 to 1.85m so great for diving and jumping in) which one of our guests described as "so lovely to be big enough to float around in without bumping into the rest of the family"!
We are located 7.7km from the lovely pueblo blanco of Colmenar, (no dirt tracks)! the capital of the Montes de Malaga, here you can go shopping and practice speaking Spanish, the people are genuinely pleased to see you and you will soon feel like a local. There are several other pretty white villages to explore and the coast is 45 minutes away. We have a local family run Spanish campo cafe bar within walking distance and there are more places to dine out in the nearby villages.
So, to summarise; We have;
Relaxing,
Away from it all,
Traditional,
Friendly,
Stunning...
And much more, all just waiting to be

LONG WINTER RENTAL FROM £700 per month plus electricity; 2nd time Winter visitor testimonial:
"We stayed at Finca Manolo for our second time, for 10 weeks, from December through to February and loved every minute of it. A home from home with everything we could ask for and more.
It's a real sun trap, beautifully positioned, up in the mountains with fantastic old charm throughout.
We enjoyed many BBQ evenings by the pool with the added bonus of an outside kitchen with the company of its two resident cats who are both adorable. We had an amazing time, lazing around and enjoying the peacefulness of the place. The village is very handy and you can get all amenities at very reasonable prices.
Great for couples wanting a romantic retreat or for families wanting to get away from it all but with the bonus of a beautiful pool (although not heated so quite cold in the deep mid winter!) and a hot spa that overlooks the mountains but also very private.
The owners are always extremely helpful with family on hand if needed.
We hope to come back again someday, we absolutely loved it there." Linda and Isaac, New Zealand.

Summary: A wonderful property, well described by the owners (although we think the photos really don't do it justice!). A great place to get away from everything, especially in the heat we had. Ideal if you really don't want to do much visiting, but have great family time. We all hope to comeback sometime in the future. The owners are really helpful and the information and welcome pack (thank you) is wonderful. A gem.

Summary: A wholly fuss-free week in a great finca, all down to experienced and dedicated hosts. If you don’t know the Colmenar area too well, do some research in advance - the roads can be a bit twisty at times - however, follow the speed limits and you’ll be more than fine. Our finca was on the main asphalt section, which makes life much simpler - some are on gravel tracks, always worth checking in advance. The finca was only 16 mins from Colmenar, so easy for topping up supplies. Sue and Trevor were wonderfully informative about ever aspect of the visit - if you have any concerns in advance, just ask - they’ll get back to you soonest (it’s not their first rodeo). The finca is lovely and private, and the pool is much bigger than the average in the area, so enjoy. The pool is well filtered and always perfect for a swim. I’ve visited this area many times - there are always issues with the local water board switching off water at no notice - Sue and Trevor have the simplest system for converting to the back up system - a single tap and button! Same goes for the washing machine and dishwasher - talk about a destressor! The hosts also provided a great welcome pack. As for the finca - magnificent, a high quality home with loads of fine touches whether art work or curios - a home from home. Book with complete confidence, make early contact with the hosts and you will not be disappointed. Five stars across the board! Contact me if you have further questions.

Summary: We were a group of five arriving by car, staying a week in May. This is a place with real character and history in a mountain setting, a very peaceful location. The pool was available and wonderful, and we all fit into the rooms quite well. The views are fabulous, like the moon rising over the high mountain town of Comares, really magical. Beautiful sounds like doves and roosters and distant goat bells... It's a great place to come back to after visiting Cordoba or Granada or nearby Antequera, and just "be". I think people should be aware that this is an older property, and that can mean a little issue here and there (though there was absolutely nothing in our experience that spoiled anything). There is a back-up water system (stored water and an electric pump to deliver it) that we needed to use the entire time we were there. That sounds like trouble, but we always had water. The only drawback was that we couldn't use the washing machine, but we spent one night in Granada (planned) and did our laundry there. It's a very hilly, curvy and sometimes steep drive to the property, which we had no problem with at all, but I could imagine some people not feeling entirely comfortable with the drive. That's the price for the atmosphere and the views, though, including the views at the wonderful little restaurant down the hill, about a ten-minute walk (a little more coming back up!) Final word—the place fit us, and we fit it, too. We would all definitely stay there again, gladly.

Summary: Beautiful cozy villa in peaceful rural area. The big pool is the heart of the place providing fun for the whole family (note, min depth ~1.5m so floating devices needed for the little ones). Three terraces providing shadow and an exellent grilling place next to the pool. Plus a roof top terrace. So you can always select your favorite spot. The house itself is lovely decorated, clean and well equipped. Fans provide sufficient air circulation to sleep (at least in ~30C outdoor temperatures). The views from villa are absolutely beautiful!! The route to villa is not so bad once you learn the best ways (but certainly the roads are small). Should be noted that Colmenar is ~15min drive away. So always carry enough food and drinks with you, especially if arriving on Sunday. Thanks Sue for a lovely stay! We really appreciated the good communication and instructions that you provided!

Summary: This was a return visit for us and so the excitement and anticipation started as soon as we booked. The property is located in a quiet, stunning position with fabulous 360° views however it has easy access by car to a number of towns and villages where you can purchase provisions or enjoy a drink and a meal . The house is well laid out and has plenty of space . The kitchen and bathrooms are in traditional Andalucian style and provide all the home comforts and more than is expected from a holiday rental. Outside we were spoilt for choice as to where to sit and enjoy the views. The huge area around the pool also has an additional outdoor kitchen which makes it perfect for self catering whilst still enjoying the sun. The rooftop terrace was the ideal place to relax in the evening and wonder at the myriad of stars whilst sipping our wine . On cooler evenings we could take our drinks onto the covered terrace which has stunning views accross the valley or for those all important sundowners the seating area at the end of the property was perfect. Sue and Trevor have thought of everything when it comes to ensuring a relaxing stay. From the lovely welcome pack, collection of books, well equiped kitchen and beautifully decorated rooms. The only downside is having to return home but we're already looking forward to our next visit!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at Finca Manolo. The house is by far the most comfortable that we have stayed in, well thought out and spotless. (The photos don't do the place justice)! The pool is fantastic and we spent a lot of time lazing poolside, enjoying the views and the peace and quiet. We had plans to visit a lot of places but the lure of the pool won every time! We arrived tired and in need of a rest and left completely relaxed, thank you for the most fantastic relaxing holiday, we don't usually go back to the same place twice but feel sure we will return. We certainly wished we had booked for longer. Thank you Sue and Trevor for your great hospitality.

Summary: The property is rustic and around 5 miles up a mountain path from Colmenar village. So if you’re not happy with that, don’t stay here. In reality it’s only 10 minutes drive to the village which has anything you need. The farmhouse itself is rustic but has everything you need for a restful stay. Yes Spain drops cold at night in the evenings but there is sufficient heating to cope with this...log burner (Sue and Trevor will organise delivery of logs to your door from Juan who provided a fantastic and speedy service), portable gas fire, electric wall heaters. The sense of freedom here is fantastic...sunbathing in such wonderful surroundings is extremely relaxing. The water pressure is up and down but again Sue and Trevor sorted this out promptly. There is an emergency water pump and two huge tanks of water if the water is an issue. The area is fantastic. Take a trip down to Lake Viñuela, you won’t be disappointed. Go up to Comares, the little white village you can see from the farmhouse. We bought olive oil, membrilla and other things from one of the lady’s houses up there. We just loved it and ended up feeling like locals. Lovely neighbours too. Give this place a go, Sue and Trevor, the owners, can’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend.

Summary: Within 5 mins of arriving at the finca we knew we would have a lovely stay. The finca was clean and very Spanish and well looked after. The kitchen facilities were great, bedrooms very comfortable and the whole place had a lovely feel to it, not like a usual holiday let. The pool and outdoor spaces were brilliant, areas for sun and shade and having the roof terrace was a plus to star gaze at night. All around there were stunning views and plenty of peace and quiet (altho we enjoyed the braying of donkeys in the valley!) Sue and Trevor were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Excellent hosts! We loved popping into Colemenar for supplies and coffee at Balens! It really is a heavenly place with many places to visit locally or beyond or simply chill by the pool and cook wonderful BBQ at the outside kitchen in the evening as the sun goes down! Definitely will go again!

Summary: Finca Manolo was a truly wonderful place to stay. A beautiful location, lovely farmhouse, huge pool and great care from Sue and Trevor. We love our wildlife and saw and heard so many birds nearby. Close-by white villages were beautiful and the restaurants in Colmenar and Mazmullar are well worth a visit. The local bar in Roma is walking distance and very friendly. This was probably the most relaxing holiday we've ever had and we'll definitely be going back many times.

Summary: Returning again for the 5th time in 3 years to the wonderful properties offered by Sue, Trevor and family set in the beautiful countryside, in the mountains above Malaga with stunning views of Comares, after one week back at home we booked in again!. If you cherish peace and quiet for ultimate relaxation with outstanding facilities at the properties for all the family, which offer fantastic value for money, then this is the place to head for. Although you feel like the world can pass you by, and its so quiet you could hear a pin drop, you are just minutes away from the wonderful Spanish villages of Colmenar, Riogordo and Benamargosa whilst a short trip on deserted highways would take you to the Mediterranean highway, Velez Malaga, Nerja and beyond, to mention but a few. This is the perfect base to explore Andalucia and beyond, and only a short journey from Malaga and the airport. Sue, Trevor and family are the perfect hosts and the properties are maintained to the highest standard whilst maintaining the charm and allure of traditional Spanish culture. Long hot days in the sun, and alfresco dining on the barbecue are quenched with Rueda Verdejo, a dip in the crystal clear pool and always topped off with an hour in the hot tub in the evening. A meticulous file of information ensures you have all the local information to hand, however these wonderful hosts are only a phone call, text, or e-mail away, should you feel the need for any assistance. I feel like I have said too much (selfishly I would want to keep it a secret), as we cherish our time at the Finca, and will continue to book with our new friends in Spain for years to come hopefully :-) Thank you Sue, Trevor and family for the unspoiled wonderful times we have enjoyed at the Finca, and hope to see you again in the autumn. <3 Martyn & Andrea Xxx
