“Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Richard. La maison est très propre, fonctionnelle, extrêmement lumineuse et calme tout en étant à 3 ou 4 minutes des commerces en voiture. La région, à cette période de l’année, est vidée de ses touristes, ce qui est très appréciable. Il y a beaucoup de beaux endroits à visiter à moins d’une heure de route : Nerja, Frigliana, Grenade, Malaga... Très bonne communication avec Richard. Bref, nous recommandons vivement et espérons pouvoir revenir un jour !”

About our home
(I am looking to spend my many points! New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam are all places I want to go!)
Totally refurbished in 2012, this chalet sits in its own plot of 1700 square metres. Minimalist decor and a simplicity aesthetic makes this a special place. Beautiful views, five minutes walk to beach. Peace, and quiet, trees and views but just around the corner all necessary amenities. There are no street lights out of choice is this area so you can enjoy watching the stars. The development ( Cotobro) is well established and maintained, simple and attractive, only twenty minutes walking or five minutes drive from the town of Almuñecar. The Costa Tropical has Mainland Spain's best climate, allowing tropical fruits to be grown. This sunny, bright house barely needs heating but just in case , it has underfloor heating throughout. Almuñecar is a town of 35000 inhabitants that is lively even in the winter.

“We stayed 2 weeks in Richard's villa spending LHS points and had a great time there. Communication before and during our stay was always swift and precise. The house is the perfect place for a relaxed holiday; we spent hours sitting on the terrace overlooking the coast and sea. Furnishings and equipment in the villa are of high quality and very comfortable. The small Cotobro beach and the nudist beach "El Muerto" are both only in a few minutes walking distance. The rocks at the far end of El Muerto are great for snorkeling. Several other lovely beaches are only 10-15 minutes by car as well as the nearby coast towns of Almunecar, Salobrena and Nerja. Day trips to Granada, Malaga, the rock formations of "El Torcal de Antequera" and the Sierra Nevada were on the plan, as well. We warmly recommend Richard's villa to all home swappers! ”
“I stayed for 10 days in this modern (so modern that it might take you some effort to find out what all the bleebs are indicating ;-)) well equiped apartment. There is no need for tv (though there is!) with this kind of stunning view with mediative qualities. The second best feature i thought was the soundcast to plug in your i-phone so you can enjoy your personal music. Beaches are straight down the Hill, nudist beach included. The strawl to downtown Almunecar is alongside the beach and a pleasant walk. If you happen to be there on a weekend day i can highly recommend you to have dinner at the Osteria, half way downtown. At one point i had a key issue, but the service provided by Nico to help me out was excellent. I felt very unwilling to go when my days came to an end and will definitely return!”
“Absolutely amazing luxury proporty, with breathtaking views. Upon entering the front door, we were met with the stunning view of the Mediterranean sea. House was minimalistic and perfectly restored - just how we, Scandinavian design buffs, love it. Huge space, multiple levels with several bed- and bathrooms. Front terrasse/balcony with sea views is where we spent all week. Restaurants walkable from the house. We would love to return. ”
“Richards villa in Almunecar is beautiful - we had a wonderful few days away there as a family. The villa itself is over two floors and has the most amazing views of the bay to the front, waking up to this each day is fantastic. The local area has lots of interesting places to explore, we ended up in the Granada mountains one day! Villa is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the Spanish Mediterranean, most recommended! ”
