This charming house has its own secluded swimming pool and is set on the edge of a small village, looking out across a sheltered valley planted with olives, almonds and vines, and crowned with the ruins of a Moorish castle. The village church has a tower adapted from the oldest minaret in Andalucia and a Mudejar ceiling plus recently discovered, rather worn, 18th century frescoes. The extensive terrace area is shaded by a vine-covered pergola, and the garden is full of fruit trees and flowers, including yuccas, jacarandas, bourgainvillea, aloes, oranges, lemons, grapefruit and a pomegranate. Inside, the large (40 sq. m.) sitting/dining room, has an informal family character, with antique furniture, an open fireplace and a library with hundreds of books: these include (normally found on the right-hand side of the shelves) a memoir called The Bottle Brush Tree, written by the owner and describing how he and his wife discovered Daimalos, plus a book of poems called Sketches from the Sierra Tejeda by John Fuller who was a frequent visitor. Please note that the house is situated on a steep hill; those who are less able may find access difficult. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,249 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/77000000/76992100/76992066/e12acdc8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 Bedroom Private vacation home in Torrox Torrox - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=76992066&PinnedHotelID=76992066&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77060000/77056300/77056294/0a508989.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unbeatable Sea and Mountain Views in a stylish and authentic location AN - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-23&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=77056294&PinnedHotelID=77056294&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91460000/91452700/91452618/397fe325.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Home "Beachfront Bungalow" with Sea View, Private Terrace & Wi-Fi Torrox Costa - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly CA $636 CA $636 total includes taxes & fees Dec 9 - Dec 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-09&endDate=2025-12-10&selected=91452618&PinnedHotelID=91452618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111760000/111753900/111753807/6e313a2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New luxury house with seaview, spa and all year heated pool AN - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=111753807&PinnedHotelID=111753807&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60860000/60851300/60851289/ba101835.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Elvira Torrox by Ruralidays Málaga - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=60851289&PinnedHotelID=60851289&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90280000/90271100/90271073/w1110h967x170y0-eba0b74c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa "Casa La Paz" with Sea View, Pool & Wi-Fi Torrox - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=90271073&PinnedHotelID=90271073&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69330000/69329100/69329097/bf910807.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful villa for 5 people with pool, A/C, WIFI, TV and patio Torrox - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=69329097&PinnedHotelID=69329097&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33578600/33578543/w299h301x13y13-e508a309.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Detached House near beach!
