Just perfect
Communication with Margaret prior to going was great, lots of helpful information received. The villa and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The most perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle! Archez is very pretty and has a few bars and an amazing restaurant, Venta El Curro, which we were told is the best restaurant in the area. It was great as we were able to walk there, which only took five minutes. There is a stunning walk way just a few minutes from the villa to the next village, which was just breathtaking. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends and family and will most definitely be returning!

Beautiful house overlooking a quaint village
Casa de La Flores is a beautiful house in a stunning location. The only downside are the hills up to the house which are not for the faint hearted! We used Maria’s taxi anywhere we wanted to go, but in truth we spent most days at the house by the beautiful pool. Margaret the owner was amazing to deal with before and during our stay. We couldn’t fault the house itself, or the pool it truly was beautiful.. the pool was a perfect depth and size for us and our 2 kids (13 and 12) hours of sun and fun was had!! Truthfully you are only 5 mins walk from the village of Archez but a car would be advised if you want to explore, we didn’t do a lot so it was perfect for us! Although the hills up to the house were a struggle, what awaits at the top is fab! Carl the guy who looks after the property and cleans the pool even gave me a lift to the next village up as I needed the pharmacy! So lovely and the local people are lovely and so helpful! We visited the other 2 villages above Archez, Canillas de Albaida and Competa and tried a few local restaurants which were fab! Thanks again Margaret for sharing your beautiful house with us.. Kind regards Irene and family

Relaxing holiday with friends
This is our second stay at at this villa. Very comfortable and relaxing holiday in the beautiful peaceful village of Archez. The house and garden is well kept, as is the pool which is regularly maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and all windows are secured with mosquito screens. Since our last visit air conditioning has been installed. The terrace has a comfortable seating area perfect to watch the sunrise or relax in the evening, there are also two outside dining tables and a bbq. The owner Margaret was helpful with her advice before and during our stay. Great base for visiting surrounding villages with a superb choice of restaurants. A five minute walk down the road you will find an outstanding steakhouse, cafe bar and small shop. Thank you Margaret and Brian for sharing your home with us

Family of fours stayed for a week. Had a fab time. Pool was great - not massive but big/deep enough for four adults to have fun. Fantastic views over the nearby valley and villages. The villa is very private not overlooked by anyone. Árchez is a beautiful village with a few restaurants and bars. The owner (Margaret) is easy to communicate, very helpful with lots of great advice.

Excellent villa in a quite location overlooking Archez. The villa is well equipped and comfortable set in lush gardens. The pool is well maintained and ideal for splashing around in and having fun. The road up to the villa is very steep and you need a car and be willing to drive on Spanish mountain roads. This is perfect for a quite getaway and a relaxing holiday.

The Hidden Villa
Our second stay. Last year it was very (as in very very) hot. The veranda and pool are cooling and perfect to stay put if it gets too much. This year we had two days of terrible storms and 3 good days of warm weather. The property faces the sun in the morning and this helps warm everything up quickly. So you can dip in the pool. When the lightening and thunderstorms appeared we could watch them skirt the Valley from our high vantage point. This year we decided to eat-in more and cook with local ingredients and the kitchen was fine for that. And there’s a teapot! But there’s plenty of local places to eat too. In short it is a home from home high in the Spanish hills. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Our Home for 2 Months
We chose a property for its location near more than one Spanish village, as well as a location for exploring walking and hiking trails. The house was perfect for 2 and in a most interesting location! The road from the A7 up and we mean up to Archez was high and curvy. One really had to concentrate because the views were incredible, and for the driver there is no sight-seeing. To be fair you can stay in the area of Archez without a vehicle, as the walking is beautiful between the villages and really you can get all the supplies you need between the three towns - Archez, Canillas de Albaida, and Cómpeta. You must be quite fit though to navigate the steep hills on foot and roadway up to the house very steep (but on the plus side, a short climb). We loved La Casa de Flores for views it afforded down onto the town of Archez and up to Canillas de Albaida and across the narrow valley. This was truly a home away from home!

We booked a week's stay at La Casa de Flores at the end of October/beginning of November 2022. The property owner (Margaret) could not have been more responsive to my queries or helpful with her advice, both before and during our stay. The property itself is very well equipped and comfortable throughout. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed our stay. It was pretty much everything we were hoping for: good accommodation, fine, warm weather, lovely walks, and all the many and various pleasures of Spanish rural life. Many thanks.

Lovely Casa with great views over Archez
We had ten very relaxing days at La Casa de Flores which is a lovely very well kept property perched on the hillside overlooking Archez. Very easy to relax on the veranda with a glass of wine watching the birds, views (and chameleon). Lovely walks take you to the two neighbouring towns of Canillas de Albaida and Competa, both with plenty of bars and restaurants. Thank you Margaret for your help and great communication - we’re already looking forward to a return visit!

We have just returned from a brilliant 2 week stay at this lovely house. The house is in the quiet village of Archez and is situated on a hill overlooking the village. This gives great views of Archez, the nearby village of Cannillas de Albiada plus fantastic views of the nearby mountains. The house has everything you need with a fantastic pool and floral gardens and is very private. We hired a car for the holiday and there is loads to see in the nearby area. Along with lazy days around the pool and nights in the porch, we visited Torrox, Torre del Mar, Nerja, Frigiliana all an easy drive plus the nearby villages of Cannillas de Albiada, Competa and Salares. We also had an overnight stay in Granada and visited the magnificent Alhambra. The host Margaret was amazing throughout and gave us loads of information with quick responses and advice from booking the house pre-Covid in February 2020 through to our eventual stay in August 2022 - it was well worth the wait! We would recommend this house and would love to return in the next couple of years.

We have recently returned from a holiday in this traditional villa situated in a small village in the Spanish hills. From the outset of our booking and throughout our visit, the host provided very prompt replies to our queries and was most informative and knowledgeable, providing all the necessary information. The villa is situated up a steep hill, with parking just outside the property. The villa is completely enclosed and offers full privacy, the views both during the day and evening are glorious and very peaceful. There are several seating areas but my favourite was the super comfortable area right outside the front door. The sun loungers and pool were wonderful and made for many a happy afternoon relaxing and cooling off. The only point for consideration with this property is its location. We had initially booked for 14 nights but for us as a family with teenage children it was a little too quiet for this length of stay. There are 3 main restaurants in Archez but with one being shut it limited where we could eat without taking the car. We also missed a potter around the tourist shops and the buzz of a more popular resort. Archez is situated 15.2 km from the main highway, so it takes 25 minutes driving along a steep, windy road to reach the property. If you are looking for a traditional Spanish holiday villa in a truly peaceful location, then this place will tick all the boxes but for us 8 nights was perfect with the other 6 in a busier area with more options in the evening. Happy holidays

Beautiful views from the terrace, looking down on the quiet village of Archez. I looked at a lot of properties before settling on this one which I thought would be the right mix of 1) Close enough to walk to restaurants 2) Far enough away to be private and secluded I thought this would tick both of those boxes and it did The walk back is up a steep hill - perfect for getting off the calories from all that tapas and rioja but you might not want to do it if you have walking difficulties (or even have had TOO MUCH rioja :-) However, if you want a private villa with no disturbance from any neighbours AND not need to get taxis out in the evening, this one fits the bill perfectly.

This is a lovely property and a perfect size for a couple and kids or two couples. The place is well maintained. The pool is in excellent condition and well maintained.

A delightful Villa in a great location
First of all, Margaret was a fantastic communicator with almost immediate responses to any questions we had. The villa is delightful with great views of Archez, Canillas de Albeida and the surrounding hills and mountains. We visited in March and the newly installed Air Conditioning units quickly warm the place up. Everyhtning is well appointed and both bedrooms are a good size. Plenty of tools, pots and pans in the kitchen with a good sized fridge freezer also. A great bonus is the Internet TV service which provides all UK channels along with Sky offering of Sport and BT sport. The utside seating area under the veranda has an outside "3 piece suite" which is very comfortable and louge beds for the pool. A brick built-in BBQ with two tables with 4 chairs each. One under the shade and one in the open. The local people are delight and love it if you try to speak even a few Spanish words. Bar Avenida is a great place to sit and have a few drinks and the restauarant bar La Pena has good food cooked by "Mama" whilst Juan is a young delightful host/owner/waiter. There are lots of whitewashed villages in the area and each has it's own charm. The largest is Competa and there is a great and easy walk to there of about 35 minutes along "the goat trail". Thanks Maragaret for the use of your villa and your very speedy and helpful communications thjroughout the whole process. Best Regards Graham & Carole
