Axarquía countryside
Hills and silence · Sea and mountain views · Private pool · 15 minutes from the beach
The Axarquía is the hilly country between Málaga and Nerja: white villages, avocado and mango groves, vineyards on terraces and, from almost every ridge, a view of the sea. It is where you go for a villa holiday when the point is the pool, the terrace and the quiet, with the beach as a day trip rather than the reason.
We manage two countryside houses. Villa Selvatic, above Arenas, is a 180 m² retreat for 12 with private pool, cinema room, Finnish sauna, mini golf and a children's playground, 15 minutes from Torre del Mar. Villa Nerja is a smaller countryside villa outside Nerja with private pool, games area and terraces, for 9, a short drive from the beaches and the town.
Both need a car and both reward it: Cómpeta, Frigiliana, Comares and the Sierra de Tejeda are within half an hour, and the coast is close enough for a morning swim.

View villa, prices and availabilityNo neighbours on the terrace, no traffic at night. The loudest sound at Villa Selvatic is the wind in the trees; at Villa Nerja, the birds.
Both villas look over the hills to the Mediterranean. Sunrise from the pool terrace is the reason guests come back.
Cómpeta, Frigiliana, Sayalonga, Archez and Comares are 15 to 40 minutes away: whitewashed streets, local wine and long lunches.
The Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama natural park starts a few kilometres inland: La Maroma, the Río Chíllar and dozens of marked trails. Spring and autumn are the seasons.
Torre del Mar (15 minutes from Selvatic) and Nerja's beaches (5 minutes from Villa Nerja) mean the countryside does not cost you the sea.
Axarquía wine (Moscatel and dry whites), avocados, mangos, goat's cheese and the Sunday ventas serving chivo. Ask us for the ones we like.
