Description

Our beautiful country house has just been renovated and offers you a unique stay in one of the most magnificent areas of Andalusia, directly at the lake "Embalse de Guadalhorce", only 45 minutes away from Malaga airport. Here in this breathtakingly beautiful setting you can enjoy the tranquillity and let your mind wander! A true paradise, but also for people who love active holidays, right on the doorstep of your Arpa has flats for 2 people each, surrounded by greenery, on a square metre plot that leads down to the lake. Here you can enjoy life, whether you just want to relax in the magnificent landscape, or whether you want to practice one of the many sporting activities in the midst of nature and experience the real Spain, breathe the clear, fresh air in the unspoilt countryside, surrounded by charming white villages, where time seems to have stood still for decades and the "manana" culture still exists. Friendly people, no stress, but peace and true joie de vivre.

Location and surroundings of object

The nature reserve where our finca is located is called Desfiladero de los Gaitones and covers 2016 hectares and runs between the towns of Ardales, Antequera and Alora. In this area there are many strange and fascinating rock formations that have been formed over thousands of years by water and wind. A dramatic and beautiful tourist attraction is the Garganta del Chorro, a 3 km long and 400 m high gorge, whose river that runs to the coast of Malage connects three lakes, Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce, Embalse de Guadalteba and Embalse del Guadalhorce.
The flora in this area is fantastic. Countless armoatically fragrant pines, eucalyptus, olives, oaks, cacti and cypresses make up the tree population. Low vegetation such as rosemary, thyme, wild roses and various flowers and bushes complete the picture. No matter what time of year you arrive, nature always offers the most beautiful play of colours and the air is fresh and the area around Ardales - one of the many small white villages - is home to the caves "Cueva Dona Trinidad Grund" Here the visitor can admire the murals, mostly bulls and deer, in the more than years old cave. The nature reserve offers a rich fauna. Apart from rare bird species, one can find mountain goats, wild rabbits, foxes, badgers, wild cats and all kinds of lizards and geckos. (all harmless species). In the sky, the visitor can admire magnificent birds such as the golden eagle, the vulture or buzzard.

Our finca is located near Ardales and El Chorro, a true Mecca for nature lovers, whatever the lake area is divided into three different lakes; Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce, Embalse de Guadalteba; and Embalse de Guadalhorce which is located directly in front of our finca lakeshore are various restaurants and picnic areas, as the area is a popular destination for excursions. Here you can also enjoy various water sports, such as kayaking or canoeing. You can even fish in the lake and we have fishing rods available for free use.

For hikers and mountain bikers, there are many marked trails and the nearby mountains offer some of the best climbing in Spain. Paragliding and rappelling are also available.

The neighbouring towns of Alora, Antquera, Pizzara, Bobadilla and Campillos are well worth a visit. Nearby El Torcal is made up of spectacular sandstone rock formations that have shaped a lunar landscape worth seeing over thousands of years.

In El Chorro you will find a gigantic natural gorge that looks as if it has been cut into the rock with a giant axe, "La Garganta del Chorro". A bridge connects the two sides of the rock over which the Malaga-Cordoba train crosses the gorge

Relaxing vacation in the middle of nature.

The Finca El Arpa is located completely alone in a beautiful nature reserve. The lake directly in front of the door is wonderfully turquoise and the water refreshing. There is a small road leading there, that's it. Those who are looking for nature and tranquility are in the right place here.
The landlords are very warm-hearted, we were received very friendly and uncomplicated, the holiday apartment is very nice. Dark floor (wooden slats), a comfortable bed, the kitchen includes everything you need, there is always hot water, a balcony with fantastic views of the lake and comfortable seating including cushions. Perfect!
We hiked a bit, went to the lake, and also made city trips, e.g. to Marbella, Malaga, Ronda, Granada, Cadiz. For this, the finca is somehow in the middle and you don't have to pack up again and again. A insider tip!

Absolutely thrilled!

We stayed at this finca for the first time in June and were absolutely thrilled! The photos more than kept their promise. We had the right flat on the first floor, which was very lovingly and stylishly furnished. It was very clean and we felt right at home. Nothing was missing and thanks to the little shop and the basket that welcomed us, we were well taken care of from the first evening. The rest of the property is also beautifully designed, with opportunities to relax and unwind everywhere. The small beach at the lake has enough space for everyone. Michael and Rikke are really very friendly and take great care of their guests. We couldn't have imagined a more relaxing holiday! This was definitely not the last time we stayed at the finca and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

It was class

It was worth it. The time I was able to spend with my girlfriend in this finca was incredibly relaxing and restful for us. The view is unique and the lake about 100m away is very pleasant to swim in.
Without a car, however, a visit is only partly recommended, as it is quite remote, but possible, as the owners run a small shop with very fair prices. The next village is about 20 minutes away by car. In Campillos there is a nice supermarket, the Mercadona, which offers everything your heart desires. The owners of the finca, Rikke and Michael, are very lovely people who take a genuine interest in their guests without being too pushy

We were completely satisfied.
