Guests' quotes: "Beautiful property in fantastic location" "Luxury villa in a beautiful village" "A glimpse of paradise on earth!"

Casa Convento provides an exceptional standard of comfort, style and character which we feel will make your holiday a '5-star' event! It has been designed, built and furnished by me, Suzanne, the owner, using the very best 'ingredients'.

Positioned on the ground and first floors, both the very large en suite bedrooms are of similar luxury and beauty so no need to quarrel over who has the 'master' bedroom! (The king doubles can be split into singles as required) The beds are super-comfortable Danish made and there are blackout lined silk and linen curtains. All towels and beach towels are provided, as well as robes and spa slippers (not always new - we're not a hotel spa!)

The bathrooms have comfortably sized baths and power showers and double basins. (Ground floor bedroom has a separate shower too) Heated towel rails. Hairdryers are provided.

There is also a separate utility and shower room, which includes a washing/drying machine.

The open plan living space on the elevated 2nd floor is stunning, with fantastic views from the dining terrace over the village and hills to the sea beyond. (In winter months the Rif mountains of Morocco can be seen at dusk). There is a built in BBQ and a pyramid gas heater.

The living room also has a double sofa bed for occasional (registered) extra guests. (Surcharge of £30 applies)

There is a log burner for winter evenings which lights easily and heats the whole room in 15 minutes.

The kitchen is fully equipped with lots of gadgets and plenty of utensils and dishes etc. There are also Spanish cook books to tempt your culinary skills.

There is a cargo lift to bring up the shopping, drinks, logs etc. (Strictly 40K limit)

Up the spiral staircase on one side of the living room is the large sun terrace, with comfortable loungers and privacy/shade screening as needed. There's also a hot and cold shower. The views from here are arguably the best in the village!

The breathtakingly beautiful wildness of the National Tejeda park is right behind the house.

Our small, shallow private pool (2.80m x 5.30m) complete with water spout, is solar heated (temperature is dependent on the amount of sunshine) and sits in its own very private 'Moroccan' patio.

Casa Convento has the advantage of being part of the delightful 'pueblo blanco' of Canillas de Aceituno, while maintaining its own intimate atmosphere and privacy.

The National Park is immediately at its back with the panorama over the village and hills to Lake Vinuela and the sea below. The newly created 'aerial' walk 'El Saltillo' includes the third longest pedestrian bridge in Europe (See photos) Otherwise, Casa Convento is a perfect hideaway for reading, swimming, relaxing, or take a 2 minute stroll down to to the village for a 'fino' sherry and tapas or an authentically regional meal at one of its good-value Spanish restaurants, or pack the in-house picnic knapsack and head up one of the hill paths. But the beaches, international shopping, nightlife and golf courses are only 25 minutes away...

CHANGEOVER SATURDAY ONLY DURING HIGH SEASON (But always check with me just in case!) ENQUIRE FOR AVAILABILITY IN LOW AND MID SEASON.

AIR CON AND UNDERFLOOR HEATING CHARGE IS REGISTERED VIA A DEDICATED DIGITAL METER AND CHARGED OUT OF YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY £15 FOR TIMED USE PER INDIVIDUAL ROOM PER WEEK (BATHROOMS COUNT AS ONE AND LIVING ROOM COUNTS AS 2 ROOMS)

FREE WI-FI ACCESS. SORRY - NO KIDS UNDER 10 DUE TO SPIRAL STAIRS TO ROOF TERRACE. THE LAYOUT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE INFIRM. THIS IS A STRICTLY N0N-SMOKING PROPERTY.

    House rules

    I CANNOT ACCEPT CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS OLD. ALSO NOT SUITABLE FOR INFIRM.
    Air conditioning/underfloor heating will be charged via a dedicated meter and cost retained from security deposit. Approx £15 per room per week. This is because if I include it, then guests leave heating/air-con on which is vastly wasteful and expensive.
    BBQ and fireplace must be cleaned out or a charge will be made.
    On a Saturday departure, all rubbish must be cleaned and removed as there is no collection.

    Response from the owner
    Thank you for your kind review. Just to address the heating question; we did have a discussion prior to your arrival when I said the weather was dubious and I offered you the option and told you the cost, explaining that electric underfloor heating is very expensive and I cannot give this for free or it would make my rental cost too expensive and not fair when folk do not require the heating or air-con at all The cost is calculated without profit via a dedicated meter. This is far fairer and leaves the responsibility and choice with our guests. Sorry it did not meet with your approval but you had said you didn't want the heating anyway, being hardy Canadians!?
