NEW: Casa Manolo sits on the edge of the traditional white village of Sedella and has easy access to the centre and all amenities. The property offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a garage, and a large roof terrace with fabulous views over the village and up to the mountains.

In Sedella you will find everything you need for daily life. At Restaurante El Chiringuito, Víctor prepares freshly cooked breakfasts, lunches and dinners. At the Posada Puente Romano, César serves homemade dishes with menus that change daily. The main square has a couple of bars and a grocery store, as well as a small weekly market. In the summer months Bar El Chiringuito de Rafa is the place to enjoy an open-air drink.

The village also has a fully equipped gym, a children’s playground, a five-a-side football pitch, a padel court and a municipal pool. At the visitor centre you can learn about the flora and fauna of the natural park, and they also organise excursions and guided hikes. Just outside the village, Sedella Vinos produces premium organic mountain wines and offers tastings and tapas tours.

Goats and even mules, still used by locals to plough the fields, are a common sight along the mountain roads.

Right on the doorstep is the Natural Park of the Sierra de Tejeda, with Mount Maroma (2,069m) as its highest peak. The park offers countless hiking opportunities, including one of Andalusia’s new highlights, the El Saltillo trail linking Sedella with neighbouring Canillas de Aceituno, where you cross one of the three longest suspension bridges in Spain (50 metres long).

DESCRIPTION

Casa Manolo has direct street access with space to park right outside the front door, as well as a garage (3.5 x 3m) with an additional parking space in front.

The double front doors open into the lounge (2.20 x 2m) with an open fireplace, which could easily be upgraded to a wood-burning stove or pellet stove for cosy winter evenings.

Steps from the lounge lead into a spacious bedroom (3.50 x 3.60m) and the kitchen/dining room (3.80 x 3 m), which has double doors opening onto a long balcony. From the kitchen/diner there is access to the family bathroom (2.40 x 2.25m) and the second bedroom (3.85 x 3.85m).

A staircase leads up from the kitchen/diner to the large roof terrace, offering panoramic views across the rooftops and towards the mountains.

In short

With some updating, Casa Manolo would make an ideal permanent home as well as a great option for the holiday rental market. Surrounded by nature and hiking trails, yet only 40 minutes from fresh fish on the beach at Torre del Mar, and just over an hour from the vibrant city of Málaga.
