Le name suggests that it might have been an inn, in the ancient times when a path under the house was the coast main route. One can imagine travellers and horse riders having a one or two nights rest in their big journey to Granada or Africa. It might even have seen Hannibal pass during his campaign from Africa to Rome, with his 40000 men and 38 elephants army ! La Venta was restored by an amateur and passionate lover of this region. The solemn impressive original style has been fully respected, while the equipment complies to today's requirements: WiFi, dishwasher, wood stove and more. With a personal touch: the original rocks are visible in some rooms, contributing to a unique and inimitable atmosphere. Note: the house, terraces and garden are fully private. Note that Cortijo la Venta was refurbished in accordance to the original structure of the building, where below rooms communicated from the terrace. This can be very much appreciated by multiple couples or families with teenagers for example. At 700m, the now renowned 'Playa del Cañuelo' is a paradise for beachgoers, snorkel and scuba divers. It has restaurants - depending on season. At 10km, Nerja has countless shops, supermarkets, typical and exotic restaurants, tapas bars and all services one might wish. The Sierra de Almijara Nature Reserve offers unlimited trekking possibilities, from a 1 hour walk to a day excursion. The area is known for its rich wildlife and spectacular landscapes. A drive to the Rio de la Miel springs or Peña Escrita reveals gorgeous mountain sceneries. The area offers many activities: trekking, mountain bike, canoe, paddle, snorkel, scuba diving, river trekking, horse riding, jeep trips, tennis, golf (at 20km) and more. The region is very rich in culture and historical sites. The famous Caves of Nerja are at just 10km. Within a half day or a day journey, some famous landmarks can be visited: Granada and Alhambra, Sevilla, Córdoba, Ronda, Sierra Nevada, Almería & Gibraltar. Pets: please consult in advance. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving 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 not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,345 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35540000/35530200/35530110/116e3350.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful Andalusian house in a superb Nature Reserve Nerja - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.4 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=35530110&PinnedHotelID=35530110&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114660000/114657200/114657120/9128d63e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### FRONT LINE BEACH PENTHOUSE Almuñécar - Washer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=114657120&PinnedHotelID=114657120&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34300000/34298700/34298606/f4e18bee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Villa With Sea And Mountain Views Very Close To The Communal Pool Nerja - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=34298606&PinnedHotelID=34298606&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35540000/35535200/35535175/fac59593.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous Nature Cortijo Luque Nerja - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=35535175&PinnedHotelID=35535175&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96830000/96824100/96824078/71df4d48.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa del Hermanos Almuñécar - Washer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=96824078&PinnedHotelID=96824078&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 outdoor pools](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2390000/2390000/2389977/942e1e57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nerja Villas Capistrano Nerja - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.6 Excellent 166 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=2389977&PinnedHotelID=2389977&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40600000/40598500/40598417/31b3d80d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nerja Paradise Rentals - Villa Alminares Nerja - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 8.8 Excellent 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=40598417&PinnedHotelID=40598417&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88440000/88436100/88436001/w1435h1080x242y0-39e1daff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adosado con Piscina a 5 Minutos de la Playa Almuñecar - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=88436001&PinnedHotelID=88436001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117720000/117713900/117713814/023e4e44.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful panoramic view of the sea!

Apr 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Für Sommertage geeignet Leider war es kühl und regnerisch, gut waren kleine Elektroofen vorhanden. Der Kamin läuft hervorragend! Gute Küche mit viel Equipment und grossen Pfannen. Unklar war die Zimmereinteilung besser wäre eine genaue Beschreibung im Inserat. Nicht alle Zimmer haben Türen und teilweise muss man das Hauptgebäude verlassen um in sein Zimmer zu gelangen. ##### katja F.
