Erholung in wunderschönem Bergdorf
Schönes altes traditionelles Haus, das liebevoll hergerichtet wurde mit Treppen "die nur der bussfertige Mann besteht" (Indiana Jones). Aber genau so wollten wir es!! Problemloser check-in trotz später Ankunft. Margot war immer erreichbar. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants und Wanderwege in unmittelbarer Nähe, daher war für uns kein Mietwagen erforderlich. Kommen gerne wieder.

Heaven on earth
Five weeks still wasn't enough time! We loved the property, especially the top terrace with breathtaking views of the mountains and Mediterranean. And the community of Canillas de Albaida was warm and inviting. I HIGHLY recommend staying at Jennifer's lovely home. This was a trip of a lifetime made possible by her.

Spanish home
Beautiful traditional Spanish house in a small village, communal pool €3 staff & bar they’re lovely. Another 4 bar/ restaurants in the village Drive from motorway to the village isn’t for the fainted hearted, Village itself is traditional but very hilly Welcome host Margot was so welcoming & owner Jennifer was very accommodating & quick to respond to any questions we had. If in this area again we would definitely stay again. A true hidden gem

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gelfgren

Host profile image
I have lived in Spain for nearly 40 years, but recently moved to Sweden with my husband. We bought this lovely village house a few years ago as our base in Spain, but we only manage to get out three or four times a year. Renting out to holiday makers looking for rest and recreation in beautiful surroundings is the perfect way to keep the house alive.

Why they chose this property

We knew exactly what we were looking for when we started to look for a house in Spain: Malaga, because I lived there for many years; a village house, so we can walk to local shops, restaurants and bars; and the Axarquia, because it one of the most beautiful regions in Malaga, near enough to our friends in the capital. The house had already been beautifully renovated by an English designer using traditional materials, and I didn´t have to change anything.

What makes this property unique

I had already fallen in love with the house from the photos I saw on the estate agent´s website, and I was delighted to find that it was exactly as shown. I walked through the cosy kitchen, up the stairs to the spacious sitting room, then to the beautiful bathroom, from there to the large bedroom with its raised wooden floor and built-in wardrobe, and then up the final flight of stairs to the glorious sun room with its stunning views over the sea. I never had a second thought!
