Each villa has access to the outside stairs leading to the parking area.
Our private driveway leads to the villas with parking for three cars. Four at a squeeze.
Both villas are equipped with wood burning stoves. The main house/casa has an open fireplace in the lounge. Wood is available locally and is provided, on request in the colder season.
The outdoor shower allows you to refresh before using the pool.
An inviting swimming pool with deck chairs and an outside shower is a key attraction to La Zahúrda. Pool towels are provided.
Each villa has an ensuite and also a family bathroom for the other two bedrooms. Towels and bed linen are provided.
Complimentary high speed wifi is available throughout the villas. Best used for email and surfing information on your next fabulous destination in the Axarquía.
Reliable, flexible and affordable transportation to and from Málaga Airport is available. It is a journey of between 60 and 90 minutes. Local taxis operate in Comares. All the major car hire companies are found at Málaga airport and the train station.
There is a safety deposit box in the casa, the main villa which you can use to secure passports and other small valuables.
Guests congregate at a large outdoor table, the perfect setting for meals under a canopy of grapes vines and surrounded by lemons and figs growing in the garden. Apart from grub, its perfect for board games and idle chat with a glass of vino.
We have guest bathrooms in both the casa and the casita, in addition to ensuite bathrooms.
We have washing machines in both the casa and the casita if you need to do washing during your stay. Washing powder is provided. Clothes are dried on a washing line with views of the mountains, olive groves and wild flowers.
The numerous terraces are a lovely feature of La Zahúrda. The terrace featuring the pool and a stunning view down to the coast is the main attraction. But there are terraces on many levels, hidden away to relax and enjoy the sunshine; or relax with a book in the quiet.
Swim in our private pool and relax on the sun deck, overlooking the Sierra Tejeda Mountains, the Mediterranean and the rolling hills of Andalucía.
If you need to cool down, each bedroom is equipped with upright fans. Being at over 700m above sea level we are blessed with cool breezes even in the height of summer - so we do not need air conditioning.
La Zahúrda has spectacular views of the La Axarquia countryside and across to the Mediterranean sea. From a conical hilltop guests experience the rustic feel of the villas and enjoy painting, yoga, cycling, swimming, sun bathing, walking and home cooking in fresh mountain air surrounded by a kaleidoscope of flowers, the lively scent of wild fennel, and tweeting birds.
There are two houses on the property. The casa is the main house from which you enter as you alight the stairs from the driveway. It features a wide balcony overlooking the countryside and in certain light all the way to Africa. There is a large lounge with an open fireplace for entertaining which opens onto a lovely bedecked terrace where guests can comfortably sit and enjoy a fabulous meal.
The casita is the smaller house at the bottom of the stairs from the casa. It has a homely feel. The lounge is cozy and the dining table opens out onto a terrace with views of the garden and the mountains, often dappled in sunlight as the shadows create changing patterns all day.
