    Casa El Faro, the house with a breathtaking view

    “We were lucky enough to meet Marita from Second Home Andalusia last year when we rented a holiday home in Sedella. During our many trips we fell in love with this beautiful part of Andalusia and decided to rent a place for a few months in winter with the idea of buying our own home here. Malcolm, from Moore Property Services, helped us rent a lovely village house in Sedella. He managed the property and we found him and his wife extremely helpful and well-informed about the area, and the house was very cosy and spotlessly clean. During those months we viewed quite a few houses with local agents, but none of them seemed to understand what we really wanted, which was above all a wide, breathtaking view. We decided to share our wishlist with Second Home Andalusia as well, and within a few days they had already shown us a few possible houses. And very soon we visited the house we have now bought. The agents are incredibly efficient, always respond quickly to emails, and their advice on the purchase process, legal assistance etc. has been invaluable. Now that we live here, we still gratefully make use of their knowledge and advice regarding local facilities and shops, as well as their network of handymen. Malcolm has shown us how to clean our pool ourselves, and he maintains it himself when we're away. Thanks to Second Home Andalusia, the entire purchase and move went smoothly, and we experienced it as very pleasant. We can't imagine how we would have done it without them!”

    Discover Andalusia

    Still authentically Spanish

    Andalusia is more than just a holiday destination; it's a lifestyle. East of Málaga lies the Axarquía, a region not yet overrun by mass tourism, where the locals are welcoming and the rhythm of the seasons is still palpable. No traffic jams, but around 320 hours of sunshine a year: one of the finest regions in Europe to live. The 31 white villages of the Axarquía offer plenty of culture, tapas bars, processions, harvest festivals and sporting challenges. No two days are the same here!

    Loma de Arriba, our Spanish dream in Canillas de Aceituno

    “At the beginning of 2024, we started the search for our Spanish dream. Initially we explored on our own initiative, but when it started to get more serious, we looked for a party that could support us in this process. And so we came into contact with Second Home Andalusia through word of mouth. From day 1 we felt supported and understood. Martin actively started searching with us, gave honest advice and understood our wishes and budget, and responds quickly (because yes, that's what we Dutch want, right 😉). Together with Martin we went to look at various properties, and the house in Canillas de Aceituno stood out head and shoulders above the rest for us. One step closer to our dream, we returned home. From a distance, Martin guided us through the purchase process. Fortunately, we were advised to arrange power of attorney with the lawyer before leaving Spain, so that the process could continue even when we were not present in Spain ourselves. This allowed the purchase to go ahead, and in September 2024 we received the key to our Cortijo. Even now that the signatures are on the contract and we own the house, we still find the contact very pleasant. No question is too much, and time and again they manage to arrange something for us from their network. We are at the end of 2024, and we look back on a year that can be described as successful for us, partly thanks to the support of Second Home Andalusia we were able to make our Spanish dream come true.”

    What our clients say

    Real stories from people who have already made their dream in Spain come true.

    “For three years we searched for a beautiful home in a sunny and quiet part of Spain; we finally found it in Andalusia. After a long search online, I came across the Second Home Andalusia website. The houses and their approach appealed to us, and we filled out the very detailed wishlist on the website. To my surprise, we were contacted that same evening by Marita from Second Home Andalusia. I had not expected such a quick response and was pleasantly surprised. We made an appointment to view a number of suitable houses together, and just three weeks later the first steps were taken towards purchasing a house near Canillas de Aceituno. That was in December, and by the end of February we had already completed the purchase! Casa El Mirador, a villa on a hill with a magnificent view over the valley, is exactly what we were looking for and at the price we had in mind. During the viewings, Marita and her husband proved to be excellent hosts; we were not only guided during the viewings but also provided with all the necessary information and support to complete the purchase. Thank you Marita and Jan!!! Not only for the business side but also for the many pleasant conversations after the viewings and the fun and delicious dinner.”

    “Our search for a house in Spain began more than two years ago. A journey full of expectations, doubts, beautiful places and sometimes disappointments. In the final phase of this search, we came into contact with Malcolm and Caroline from Second Home Andalusia — and that proved to be a turning point. Together with our own buying agent, we had mapped out a route along various properties in the region between Granada and Málaga. Some of these houses were offered by Second Home Andalusia. Even before we met in person, we reached out to get a first feel for the area and the people. From the very first moment — even from a distance via messages — we felt trust, genuine involvement and enthusiasm. Their love for the village of Sedella in particular was contagious. It made us really look forward to the viewings there. Coincidentally, these were also the last two houses of our search… and the last house, Casa José, turned out to be an absolute bullseye. During the viewings, Malcolm and Caroline took all the time. They spoke with passion about the area, the people, the house and everything that comes with it. What stood out in particular was their honesty and calm. No pressure, no sales pitches — but genuine stories and attention to who we are and what we were looking for. They listen, think along and have a good sense of what suits you. The house we ultimately bought is exactly what we were looking for — and even more than that. Throughout the entire process we felt welcome. Not only from Malcolm and Caroline, but also from the village of Sedella and the beautiful surroundings. It feels like coming home to a place we still had to discover. We want to thank Malcolm and Caroline enormously for their involvement, honesty and warm guidance. Thanks to them, our search was not only successful, but also a special experience.”

    “From the very first contact, our collaboration with Second Home Andalusia felt right. Malcolm and Caroline are warm, approachable, and genuinely involved people who fully committed themselves to helping us find our ideal holiday home in the Axarquía region. Malcolm looks at the properties with a sharp technical eye, while Caroline perfectly senses what we were looking for and constantly responded to that. Together they form a particularly great team. We felt heard, understood, and supported throughout the entire process. During the purchasing process, we could turn to them with all our questions. They always took the time to calmly explain everything. Especially regarding the legal aspects, their guidance was incredibly valuable and gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. We are extremely happy with our purchase in the campo, near Cómpeta. It truly feels like a place that belongs to us. Thank you for the warm, professional, and personal guidance!”
