This beautifully located country property is a wonderful retreat from today´s hectic world, set in a peaceful location surrounded by olive groves and fruit orchards. The panoramic views are extraordinary and the sunsets out of this world. And as the name suggests the night skies are crystal clear. Ideal for the perfect holiday.

It´s wonderfully positioned just 20 mins from the palm fringed beaches and ‘hidden’ coves of Almuñécar, Salobreña and La Herradura. Nearby is Marina Del Este with a variety of quality waterside restaurants. You can sit overlooking the pretty harbour with its yachts, motor cruisers and speedboats coming and going.
The Costa Tropical remains one of Spain´s best kept secrets, and although popular with Spanish families is delightfully unspoilt, and never over-crowded.
This is an excellent base for exploring the rugged Costa Tropical and mountainous hinterland.
Granada and the World Heritage Alhambra Palace are 60 mins away and nearby are the pretty, whitewashed, Moorish villages of Otívar, Lentejí and Jete with their traditional bars, restaurants and shops. There is nearly always a fiesta going on, well worth a visit.

At the house you can relax poolside looking out over the Valle Verde, the Green Valley, to the distant mountains. There are stunning views from every window.
Straight out of the front gates there is a huge variety of hill & mountain walks, for those wanting more gentle slopes to those looking for more challenging or longer hikes.
From the tarmac road the property is approached by a track, suitable for a normal car.
You may well be lucky enough to see some of the diverse wildlife including deer, mountain goats, and birds such as the colourful bee-eaters, as well as eagles, honey buzzards and kestrels. The scent of wild thyme and rosemary will accompany you.
The waterfalls of Otívar, with their cool, clear mountain water cascading from the snow melt of the high peaks make for a delightful picnic excursion, and for the more adventurous there are river walks and canyoning.
The famous 5 million years old Nerja Caves are 40 minutes away, a must see is the centre column in the Sala del Cataclismo (Cataclysm Hall) which reaches a height of 32 metres. For the more culturally minded there is the poet Lorca’s house/museum near Granada, and the Picasso gallery/museum in Málaga. And for history lovers the area is steeped in Moorish influences, as well as some of the darker moments of the Spanish Civil War where until the 1950s men were still hiding in the surrounding mountains.
Nearby there is boat hire, golf, riding, tennis, parascending, water skiing, sailing, windsurfing, rock climbing, diving, mountain biking, archery, 4x4 trips, and a Kite Surfing School.
