5 bedroom renovated farmhouse with fabulous private pool in the mountains
This traditional 100 year old farmhouse is situated inland, in the Axarquia area of Malaga province, Andalucia. Finca El Toril has been renovated imaginatively in a rustic yet modern style. The property faces south and sits in a commanding position overlooking Lake Vinuela. The tranquil ( and we mean tranquil! ) location features a fabulous 9m x 4m private salt-water pool with a large sunbathing area, a shaded summer terrace with dining for 12 & a built in BBQ – guests say we have ‘the best views in Axarquia’.
The cool, light, spacious house has 5 double, air conditioned bedrooms and 3 lovely shower rooms. All 5 bedrooms are now air conditioned for extra comfort in the summer months. A comfortable home from home for up to 12 guests. There is a large family kitchen/diner and a luxurious sitting room with satellite TV and south facing views. The mature gardens and vine covered terraces that surround the property offer many places to relax and unwind in or out of the sun. Play table tennis, darts or boules.

Location:
A stay Finca El Toril will give you a taste of old rural Spain. As well as the breath-taking views, you will hear and see abundant wildlife – a paradise for bird spotters. Remember to look out for chameleons, lizards and snakes. 15 minutes drive away is Alcaucin- a pretty village situated on the lower western slope of La Maroma in the Sierra Tejeda mountain range. Here you will find a few small supermarkets, and three or four great bars. On Saturday morning there is a local market in the village selling great fruit and veg. The village layout is typically Moorish; the name Alcaucin is derived from the Arabic Al-Cautin (arches). An 18th century parish church, Nuestra Senora del Rosario, stands in the village square, next to the town hall (ayuntiamento). Also only a 15 minute drive is the pretty village of Periana, which has supermarkets, cash machine and lovely bars for al fresco breakfasts!
From the village you can drive into the Parque Natural of the Sierra Tejeda.

We spent two weeks at El Toril last Summer 2018 and absolutely loved it. Fantastic house with loads of space, beautiful gardens and pool......and chickens ! Absolutely loved it.
We chose Finca El Toril as our venue for a large family gathering in 2018 and couldn't have been more delighted with our choice. It is a simply stunning location with incredible views and a real sense of privacy. The decor throughout the finca is beautiful - all rooms are incredibly comfortable and offer a sense of peace, with cool quirky little design details that add genuine character and charm. The outside is as amazing as the inside - with great spots to sit and dine as a group, and numerous nooks and hideaways to discover around the grounds to have a moment of quiet and calm. We all absolutely loved the pool and had difficulty getting our daughter out of it!
We had loads of fun exploring the surrounding villages - such amazing architecture, landscapes and tapas!
This truly was the perfect place to catch up as a group, but also to relax and unwind as individuals. All our family members (even the old ones who are notoriously difficult to please) thoroughly enjoyed their stay. We didn't want to leave.
