About this property

Exceptional Setting, sensational views, Private Pool terraces & WIFI throughout.

Located mid-way between the 2 towns of Almogia & Villanueva de la Concepcion. The historic town of Antequera is 26Km away with Torcal National Park on route. The perfect rural getaway 5 minutes' drive from the small hamlet of Pastelero with its 2 excellent bar restaurants serving a wide range of delicious Spanish dishes and a small bakery. Positioned with access for day trips to Andalusia’s historic cities, this is the perfect location for lounging by the pool, walking, cycling or day tripping. This beautiful finca has been renovated and stylishly furnished to provide a luxurious and comfortable home away from home. Comfortable beds, Wi-Fi plus International TV Channels available. The emphasis is on peace and tranquility, set in idyllic rural surroundings where the only sounds are those of goat bells. complete with ample terraces surrounding the fincas private pool where you will enjoy BBQ´s and alfresco dining. Lots of beautiful countryside walks straight from the door.

The Finca is situated within 8 acres of farmland and Orchards. The property is at the end of a concreted track so no passing cars will disturb you and you are free to roam. Guests have a large terrace with teak sunbeds and parasols to one end of the pool and there is a covered terrace for dining. There is a Gas BBQ area and separate table & chairs for aperitifs or just reading a good book. Pool and terrace areas are private for this property and not overlooked.


It should be noted that the 3rd en-suite bedroom is not in the main house but located at the rear of the property and is accessed through its own entrance, so is not suitable for children (under 16). The layout of the property works especially well for a larger group/family, especially if someone wants a bit of space away from the main house.

Finca las Campanas - the perfect getaway for relaxation!

This property ticked all the boxes for us. It is in deep rural Spain, far away from the densely packed beaches and throbbing music of the coastal towns, but still close enough to shops, restaurants, culture when you need it. Mike and Michelle have transformed a traditional Spanish farmhouse into a place where you can relax privately in a very agreeable way. The décor is simple but interspersed with interesting art and furniture. Two comfortable double bedrooms each with aircon and ensuite shower rooms, a good sized and well equipped lounge/kitchen/diner were all very nice, but we spent most of our time around the lovely pool! From the poolside you can look into the valley and spend hours just watching the changing light and shadows, the progress of the goat herds or the huge birds of prey (short-toed eagles Mike?). All the rural noises are distant and never intrude, in fact the tinkling of the goat bells is really soporific so find your sunny or shady spot and doze or read a good book until the next bbq or a trip to Paco's restaurant in Pastelero! Of course you could make your own noise and be active, but if you want to chill then this is a small slice of heaven. Mike and Michelle have thought of pretty much everything to make your stay enjoyable, and they are wonderful hosts - never intruding but always ready to advise on trips, places to shop, eat or solving all your problems. Thankyou for making our stay so enjoyable. We'll be back for a longer stay!

Wunderschönes Fereinhaus in den Bergen

Wir, 4 Erwachsene, haben zum zweiten Mal zwei traumhafte Wochen in der Villa verbracht. Die Villa lässt keine Wünsche offen, ob tagsüber am Pool oder abends in der gemütlichen Lounge an der Terrasse. Die Inneneinrichtung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll. Die Lage ist abgeschieden und wunderbar ruhig. Ein Auto ist unbedingt erforderlich. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Andalusien sind in Tagestouren gut zu erreichen. Die Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit und stehen bei Fragen jederzeit zur Verfügung, sind aber ansonsten sehr zurückhaltend. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Alles is aanwezig om een mooie en rustige vakantie door te brengen !

Het is gelegen op een wat afgelegen wegje , maar het uitzicht en de rust is een aanrader . De eigenaars zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam je kunt er niks aan mis vragen ! Zeker een topper voor mensen die van rust houden .

A perfect place to relax and unwind.

We stayed at Finca Las Campanas for a week and wish it had been longer. It is a lovely place, tastefully decorated with lots of little touches to help you feel at home immediately. Mike and Michelle are fantastic hosts - they are hugely knowledgeable about the area, and so helpful and friendly. The views from the finca are stunning and we loved watching the swallows dipping and diving, and the eagles soaring over the valley. The distant tinkle of goat bells was a soothing background sound as we sat around the pool reading – in fact, there were no other sounds to disturb us! By contrast to the peace and relaxation, we found there were also plenty of things to do if you could drag yourself away from the bliss of the finca. El Torcal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is well worth a visit, along with The Dolmens in Antiquera – in fact, Antiquera itself, about 40 minutes drive from Las Campanas, is a lovely town with lots of history to be explored. Malaga is a great city (1 hour drive) with a beautiful harbour and beach. However, just 5 minutes drive and you are in the little hamlet of Pastelero where there’s a fantastic local restaurant (Venta Pastelero) which is busy and vibrant – and serves excellent gambas, calamari and meat from the barbeque at incredibly good prices. There is so much more to do in this part of Spain, but with only one week and the lure of total relaxation at the finca, we did less than we expected – which was fine as we came back totally relaxed. Thank you Mike and Michelle (and Kink & George - the cats!). We loved it!

Ah, that view....

We had a very pleasant week! The view in all it's variations; sunset, dusk, evening, and at night the stars. The smell of the trees, the sound of crickets and goats. The home made dinners on the terrace. The refreshing pool. We've made some good memories. Oh and that restaurant in Pastelero....the prawns, the meat.....the atmosphere....absolutely a great tip from Mike and Michele. Mike and Michele have made it very easy for guests: everything one needs to know or might want to know, is written down and up to date. Great hosts!

Wonderful experience!!

We hadden een fantastisch verblijf!! Michelle en Mike doen er echt alles aan om het maximum uit je vakantie te halen en zijn ook een uitstekende gastvrouw en -heer. Fantastisch uitzicht, vakantieverblijf is echt van alles voorzien en zéér netjes. Zeer mooie bezienswaardigheden in de buurt. Ook de country walk is een echte aanrader. :) Absoluut voor herhaling vatbaar! Many Thanks Michelle and Mike! Evy en Wim

Paradise!

We stayed here with our two boys for two weeks in April 2018. The house is decorated with love and it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. And with two ten year old boys, the games like starwars monopoly was a huge bonus! Outside the pool is great. it is not heated so a bit cold in April but you forget about all of that once you are in the water swimming with te stunning view you have from the terrace. it is great relaxing on the terrace there are several spots you can sit and relax. We just loved it. We love Antequera! And a great bonus are the hosts: Mike and Michelle. just an app away from any questions you may have. They go out of their way to let you have the most relaxing holiday ever and they have so much information on where to go and what to do. And still you have all the privacy you need. Just Paradise!

Wunderbare Finca in den Bergen

Die Finca ist wunderbar in den Bergen gelegen, abseits von jeglichem Rummel, ideal für Erholungssuchende. Die Beschreibung entspricht in allen Punkten der Realität, die Finca ist bestens und sehr gemütlich ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts. Die Anfahrt ist teilweise ein bisschen kompliziert, also unbedingt Mikes Anweisungen folgen, dann findet man sich zurecht. Die Touristenattraktionen Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada und Ronda sind in längstens zwei Stunden zu erreichen, war gut machbar. Die Vermieter, die mit auf dem Grundstück wohnen, waren sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, aber gleichzeitig sehr diskret. Kontakt fand nur auf Wunsch und nach vorheriger Absprache statt, ansonsten waren sie unsichtbar, aber bei Fragen immer erreichbar. Wir (zwei Paare) haben erholsame zwei Wochen in einer wunderbaren Umgebung verbracht und kommen gerne wieder. Thanks a lot to Michelle and Mike for a great time in their wonderful finca, we hope to come back.

Détente et calme au cœur de la campagne Andalouse.

Superbe villa avec piscine ouvrant sur un point de vue incroyable, calme et détente loin de la ville sont assurés. Tout est la pour les amoureux de la nature et les férus de randonnées sans oublier les délicieuses spécialités locales qui ont gardé le goût de l’authentique . Nous tenons à remercier particulièrement Mike et Michelle pour leur chaleureux accueil, leurs sourires et toutes leurs petites attentions. A refaire sans hésitation !

Beautiful Holiday Villa

This is a beautiful villa set in the Spanish hills,the view from the patio is lovely with the only sound you can hear being the bells ringing in the distance from the local goat heard. The owners Mike and Michelle have thought of everything, the villa is clean,very well equipped and thoughtfully decorated, the pool and patio area are perfect. Mike and Michelle are lovely people who were waiting for us when we arrived, they had loads of suggestions of what to see in the local area, where to eat and even gave us directions to car parks near the tourist areas, nothing was to much trouble. We have had a great holiday (a week wasn't long enough) and I would strongly recommend this villa. A big thank you to Mike and Michelle

Tranquil villa with everything you need

Had a wonderfully relaxing week here switching off, swimming, sunbathing, eating and drinking. The villa has spacious rooms, a fantastic pool and plenty of outdoor seating for everyone. Michelle and Mike have thought about everything that you may need on holiday but possibly forgot to bring. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always happy to provide us with information and recommendations. Great hosts and probably the best equipped villa we have stayed in.

Eine Oase der Ruhe in beeindruckender Landschaft

Ein wunderbares Feriendomizil für Menschen, denen Erholung, Ruhe und nette Menschen wichtig sind. Weit abseits der üblichen Geräuschkulissen, kein Autoverkehr - nur das ferne Läuten vorbei ziehender Ziegenherden. Hervorragende Gastgeber, hervorragende Sauberkeit und Ausstattung des Hauses. Hier fehlte wirklich nichts! Die Buchung für das nächste Jahr ist bereits avisiert.

Idyllic luxury

It's that rare circumstance where the property is even better than the photos. Completely beautiful setting, utterly private and certainly the most lovely place we have stayed. Accommodation is equipped with everything you would hope for and more. Even had a nespresso coffee machine!!! Mike and Michelle were perfect hosts who gave us some great day trip advice and left us to our own devices the whole week, but were always available by text if needed. Our visit coincided with 40 degree temperatures for 3 days and the gorgeous pool was the perfect antidote to the heat. We made the mistake of only eating at the restaurant in Pestelero on the last day. Make sure you go early in your holiday, as we would definitely have gone back more than a couple of times. Amazing food. Make sure you visit the Torcal Park as well. Last piece of advice would be to hire a diesel engined car. The roads in the area are very up and down and our petrol engined VW Golf was always in the wrong gear, so any diesel car would be much better suited to the nature of the roads. Do what we did and grab a full fill of shopping straight from the airport, drive to the property then just chill.

Great holidays, warm and friendly people

This is a peaceful & beautiful place. The view is astonishing and I will definitely recommend this finca for a sucessfull and relaxing holidays in a quiet place. Mike and Michelle, the hosts are lovely, they do everything to make sure you enjoy each moment and help you with all the points of interests you should see/visit. At the same time, they only appear if you need them, very discrete. The finca is well equiped (everything in the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 big bedrooms with aircon+fan, terrasse with barbecue, sun beds...) with a nice design and very clean. The village at 10min offers everything you may need, supermarket, good restaurants, bakery, outdoor market etc... We have spent 2 weeks with our 4 year old son and we had a great time!
