Casa Almendros, traditionelles andalusisches Landhaus mit privatem Pool

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Almendros. Everything was as described and from the pictures it looked amazing but it was even better seeing it with your own eyes. The views were breathtaking. The villa stunning with everything you needed and lots of previous guests had left things like pasta, cereals, herbs, spices, oils etc…. It was so comfortable with lots of different spaces to hang out. The aircon and swimming pool were a lifesaver as the temperatures soared above 40 degrees. Lots of inflatables and pool toys for the kids (and grown ups) including goggles and snorkels, bodyboards, lilos etc… We saw lots of wildlife too, Bee-eaters, geckos, lizards, eagle, snake (False Smooth Snake) and lots of other weird and wonderful creatures. Our kids absolutely loved the place and were quite happy to just stay put. We did take a walk to Sedella one day which only took about 20-25mins but it was so hot for us that from then on, we drove in. A car is necessary and if you can get a good early flight to reach the big supermarket on your way up, I would suggest stocking up there as the local supermarkets are not as well stocked unless you drive out to some of the bigger villages.. We had plans to go on a few day trips but we just loved hanging out at the villa so only went out for 2-3 meals and then chilled out. It is the first holiday were we have come home and not felt like we needed another one. The communication between Caroline and Malcolm was spot on! They gave perfect directions and lots of useful local information. We would love to come back here one day.

We have just returned from a magical, two week family holiday at Casa Almendros. If you value peace and quiet, amazing mountain views, a rural setting with traditional villages on your doorstep - then this is the place for you!

We were met in Sedella by Caroline and Malcolm - who couldn't be better hosts. The property was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated with many traditional lamps and pictures. We really felt as if we were in a much loved family home. The outside terrace, with various seating areas and beautiful plants and flowers, was just heavenly. The pool was superb.... cool and crystal clear. We were are able to sit in the sun from early morning until late evening, if we wanted to, or cool down in all the shaded areas. A highlight was sitting with a glass of wine in hand; watching the sun dip behind the hills; the sky turn red and the bats flutter past our heads for a drink from the pool - priceless.

A fabulous property that we would highly recommend and will definitely return to in the near future.

This was our second stay at Casa Almendros. Caroline and Malcolm looked after us very well before during and after our visit - thanks. The house is equipped with all that is needed and has the feel of a home rather than a rental. It's nice to bits and pieces available in the kitchen and larder when you forget them at the supermercado! We were blessed with fantastic weather and did not stray much further than the 3 local villages. The views and sounds out over the campos are delightful - particularly in the evening.

Nice place to stay when you like hiking in the Sierra Nevada as we do

Casa Almendros is THE most wonderful house, the photos really cannot do it justice, it’s absolutely beautiful. We’ve stayed in several houses in Andalusia & this is without doubt the most beautifully looked after, perfectly designed house we’ve had the pleasure of staying in. It’s immaculately clean & furnished with everything you need for a perfect holiday. Everything is super well organised & just so well thought out! The house could easily accommodate a family of four, and two couples could stay without feeling on top of each other as both bedrooms have separate exits to the beautiful terraces & garden. I honestly could go on & on!

We arrived during some very warm weather & were immediately struck by how cool the house was inside (although it has a lovely fire if it gets chilly!). The house is set into the hillside, with lovely terraced areas and beautiful views of mountains, wildflowers & the sea. Sedella village is within walking distance & we spent a lot of time just walking in the countryside around the house. It’s extremely peaceful although doesn’t feel at all isolated, which is a very rare thing to find. It’s really a lovely part of the world & we visited several villages, none of which were more than half an hour’s drive. We especially loved Competa, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Caroline & Malcolm, who look after the house, were so kind & welcoming, as well as fantastically brilliant at looking after that house - thank you again to both of you.

I honestly cannot think of any reason why anyone wouldn’t love this house, if I haven’t made it clear already (!) we loved it. In fact I recommend you stop searching for the perfect place right now & book Casa Almendros immediately - you won’t be disappointed I promise.
