Escape to our haven of peace in the countryside to unwind from the pressures of modern life. Spectacular view from the sea to the mountains. Relax and feel the quiet tranquillity of the mountains seep into your soul. A wonderful, idyllic mountain holiday retreat perched high over the Guadalhorce Valley - the world at your feet - The dramatic Sierra de las Nieves to the West; the Mediterranean Sea gleaming in the South; below the white villages dot the Andalucian valley against the vivid green of the lemon and orange groves. La Cencerrita covers nearly 8 acres of gently sloping mountain side interspersed with almond and olive trees, carpeted in the spring with wild flowers.
A holiday at La Cencerrita is all about unwinding from the pressures of modern life. You have exclusive use of ALL the facilities in total privacy. Sit in the warm Spanish sunshine and just CHILL! . However, should you need a helping hand, we are but a few minutes away. A paradise for walkers, birdwatchers, painters and anyone else who wants to be far from the madding crowd - the skies are an astronomers paradise! Those who enjoy yoga and meditation have found the roof terrace a peaceful and soothing place to practise their exercises. We have had several naturist couples - all delighting in the fact they can enjoy a view and not be hemmed in by high walls!
If you do need to move on the odd occasion , just 30 minutes by car are the bustling towns of Cartama and Alora for supermarkets, banks, cafes etc. The Costa del Sol is some 50 mins away, as is Malaga. The canyon of El Chorro is under an hours drive in the other direction.
La Cencerrita combines the best of the traditional elements of an Andalusian farm cottage, whilst recognising those on holiday have different needs. Gone are the tiny, barred windows – now replaced with full length French doors – we couldn’t bear to hide the views! Sitting areas have been created to take into account the wide ranging temperatures throughout the year: whether you want sun or shade, the breeze or to be sheltered – somewhere you will find your perfect spot.

Little touches like towelling robes provided for use after the spa or pool, torches with rechargeable batteries, a bottle of wine to welcome you are all part and parcel of the Cencerrita experience. Maybe best of all, is that we meet you in the local village to guide you to Cencerrita - we do not want you to get lost on the first day of your holiday - This is a great relief to most ... especially when arriving in the dark!
We will also cook dinner (12 € each) for you on the first night if you would like - cooking is often the last thing you want to do after a long day travelling.
If you do not want to hire a car, we are happy to pick you up from Malaga airport (35 euros each way), stopping at a supermarket to pick up your groceries. We also run some excursions in the area such as El Chorro and Ronda - please email us or see our website for further details.
