Peacefully situated modern style villa with private pool, panoramic views & Wifi

Casa Pura Vida is peacefully located in the 'campo' and offers wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The house is south west orientated so that you can enjoy the Spanish sun throughout the day.

The comfortable and spacious accommodation (101m²) comprises:
• Spacious living room with open kitchen
• Kitchen with ceramic hob, microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer and small kitchen appliances
• 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin)
• 1 bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath/shower, and wash hand basin

• Ceiling fan in living room and bedrooms
• Fireplace with cassette

The lounge opens directly onto the pergola covered dining area. The terrace also includes an outdoor kitchen with a brick built BBQ. Adjacent to the private swimming pool there is a cosy gazebo where you can relax in the shade. The garden is terraced and has a selection of Mediterranean plants and palms.

Casa Pura Vida is located 2 km off the Torrox - Competa road (A7207) and is accessible via a partly (un)paved mountain road.
The drive from Malaga Airport takes approximately an hour.
A (rental) car is required!

The holiday villa is ideally located for exploring the 'pueblos blancos', the charming whitewashed Andalusian villages along the 'Ruta del Vino y Sol'.
Torrox Pueblo, with its narrow alleys and cozy village square is a 15-minute drive. The beach of Torrox Costa with its numerous and nice terraces is a 20-minute drive.
The Autovía del Mediterráneo passes both villages. Charming villages (such as Frigiliana) and beautiful coastal towns (such as Nerja) are easily accessible via this highway.
The beautiful and cultural city of Malaga is only a 50 minute drive and within 1,5 hour is the historic city of Granada, with its beautiful Alhambra palace and Moorish gardens.

Exceeded expectations
The villa’s position is second to none, stunning. The drive off the main road is a little daunting but you soon get use to it. The owners were very quick to respond with any queries and Kevin was very helpful as well. The villa itself is well equipped and all essentials were there from cooking oil to washing up liquid. The views from the pool area are breathtaking with the sun being there all day. We will definitely be back! Thank you very much.

A lovely and quiet location in the hills
We had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable time at this villa, the location was wonderful and just what we were looking for as a place to relax for a week. It was well equipped and clean and the pool/outside areas were spacious and ideal for chilling either during the day or in the evening. The property manager, Kevin, was friendly and most helpful both on our arrival and on the one time we had a question for him during our stay. Finding the villa was a little tricky, but that was because we chose to try and find it ourselves rather than take up the offer of being met by Kevin at a local fuel station. The drive down from the main road can be a little bumpy, so care is required but this short drive down if definitely worth it and we would definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful stay in this great villa. We have been enjoying villa holidays in this area for many years and this is just about the best one yet. Inside and outside spaces both equally good.We really enjoyed the lovely pool and outdoor area. It was every bit as good as the photos. We would be happy to book again!

Lovely villa and outside space.
It was unfortunate that it was raining when we arrived in Spain but this was not so depressing when we arrived at the villa. It had a lovely lounge with gorgeous views all round. The electric radiators and air con provided much needed warmth. Luckily by the following day the weather perked up so we could enjoy the outdoor space. The outdoor kitchen and bbq was wonderful with much needed shade whilst cooking. And we loved the pagoda seating area with 360 degree views. Sun or shade depending where you sat anytime of day. Wonderful! The pool is just a nice size for a swim or cool down. The kitchen is well equipped with a modern hob and oven. A King size bed would be a nice addition to the bedroom. Plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. My only grumble would be the bathroom. That shower curtain and me did battled everyday. A shower cubicle would be better. I dislike stepping in and out a bath although I appreciate some people like baths. Just my personal opinion. The road leading to the villa by Andalusia standards is pretty good. It’s mostly made up, not too narrow or steep. Once you’ve done it once or twice it isn’t too bad, especially when you see how steep or narrow some of the roads are nearby. Competa and Torrox towns are about 15/20 minutes drive as too to Torrox beach for shops and restaurants. I would say if you plan on doing more cooking than eating out then stop at a Carefour on the way from the airport to the villa as shops nearby aren’t huge. Co-Op size.

Our Special Place ❤️
This was our fourth year staying at Casa Pura Vida and we have already booked up our fifth for next year! I think our record speaks for itself as to how we feel about it! We unfortunately couldn’t travel last year and missed it so much we couldn’t wait to return! It is our special place and we couldn’t imagine holidaying anywhere else! Perfection!

This is our second year at Casa Pura Vida and it certainly lived up to (if not surpassed) our high expectations from our first visit! Situated in the picturesque mountains, it is a stunning location for total relaxation! We absolutely love this place and cannot wait to return for a third year!

The perfect place to relax and unwind
If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, then Casa Pura Vida fits the bill. Set in the heart of a valley, the villa offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and mountains in the distance. The villa itself is beautifully well presented and extremely well equipped- one of the best I have ever seen. Here you can enjoy all the delights of outdoor living with a good sized sheltered terrace (seats 6) and also a delightful gazebo/ pergola complete with comfy seating, cushions and screens if you need to create some shade. There is also a good sized pool- perfect for cooling off, if you need to. If you wish to explore the surrounding area, the villa is within easy driving distance of many attractive white villages. It is also an hour’s drive on the autovía to Málaga,where you can explore this wonderful city as well as board a train to visit Córdoba, Sevilla and Granada. All in all, this is an excellent villa with all the comforts of home while also a great base from which to explore so much of wonderful Andalucīa. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I do hope to return in the future.

Wonderful stay
Had a wonderful stay at Casa Pura Vida - the villa is splendid, really big, well-appointed and with the most fantastic vista. Spent the week with family in the pool, bbqing, and listening to music and couldn't have wanted for a better stay. Kevin was extremely helpful, personally guiding us to the villa, and helping return a Mobile Phone we left in our haste to get to the airport on departure.

We had a relaxing stay in this very well equipped villa Truly away from it all relaxation Met by Kevin who was informative and very patient on the road/track to the villa pointing out various places to avoid ie pot holes.

Schönes Haus an schöner Lage
Leider ist der Text verschwunden! Dann Schreiben wir es halt nochmals. Danke an die Hausbesitzer, es hat alles bestens geklappt. Die Zufahrt ist sehr speziell, aber mit dem richtigen Auto, wir hatten einen JEEP, kein Problem. Die Hausübergabe war "kurz und schmerzlos", das war es dann auch schon mit dem Service. Besten Dank für den "Notvorrat"! Das Haus und das Grundstück sind toll, schnell hatten wir mit der gedeckten Lounge unseren Lieblingsplatz. Das Haus ist nicht neu aber gepflegt, der Wasserhahn in der Küche sollte jedoch dringend gemacht werden. Auch die Brause an der Aussendusche könnte ersetzt werden. Wir haben uns erlaubt, den Duschvorhang zu ersetzten, der alte Vorhang war nicht sehr appetitlich. Das Bett dürfte 20-40cm breiter sein, aber wir waren ja nur zu zweit und hatten Ausweichmöglichkeiten. Wir können das Haus empfehlen für Leute, die auch mal zuhause bleiben wollen. Die Aussicht und die Ruhe laden dazu ein. Unser Andalusien-Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
