Lovely Andalucian Townhouse In Villanueva De Tapia

Just off the main square sits this tourist licenced (CTC-2017132140) jewel of a town house with private swimming pool. Step through the massive wooden doors and you will find a cool, comfortable and spacious interior set over three floors. Renovated in traditional Andalucian style yet having every modern convenience. The sunny, furnished pool area is a real suntrap and there is a lovely shaded "chill" out area at the end of the enclosed rear garden, the ideal spot for taking a well earned siesta during the hottest part of the day. The property is situated at the very centre of this attractive white 'pueblo' of the Antequera region. Step outside and shops, markets, banks and bars are a short stroll away. Long hot summer nights bring the local community out on the streets creating a lively family atmosphere particularly at fiesta time.

Lovely house but noisy
Gorgeous property, very spacious and relaxing. Great pool. Lovely welcome treats. Village has all you need. We just wish we had known that there was a cultural week going on which meant night club music all night until 6am for three nights running. Avoid those dates (early August) unless you want to party all night.

Authentic Spain
Lovely property with pool, situated in a small Spanish community. There’s a tapas bar right outside and a few local shops to get what you need. We had lots of space in the house and a lovely view of the mountains from the balcony. There’s a large lounge bbq space at the back which we used a lot. Plenty of air conditioning was appreciated as it was extremely hot. We benefited from having a car to make supermarket trips and visit the local municipal pool which was lovely, and some neighbouring town. We were also able to remote work thanks to the wifi. Great for anyone who wants to use their Spanish as the locals mainly do not speak English but were well able to help us along and we got a warm welcome there.

Lovely townhouse with a holiday vibe
We had a fantastic time in this lovely spacious Spanish town house. It had loads of character and was the perfect base for exploring the area. We loved the outside space with the pool. Most evenings where spent in the comfortable chill out/BBQ area at the back of the pool. Although we couldn’t resist popping out for tapas and drinks at one of the many bars right on the doorstep. The town is well equipped with grocery stores, butchers, bakers etc. So there was no need to visit any supermarkets outside the town for supplies. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Nigel was the perfect host and Pepi was really helpfull. The whole of our stay went without a hitch. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nigel's property. The property is located in the centre of the village, and as mentioned in other reviews, you can often hear the locals socialising into the small hours, which was fine for us, as we were socialising with them! In fairness, we have three children, aged 4, 6 and 8 who all slept without issue. This is an exceptionally friendly village, indeed, the locals welcome you with open arms. As a family who like to holiday off the beaten track, our experience was exactly as we had hoped. The house itself is a fantastic size with a wonderful pool and everything you need for a relaxing stay, including an outside fridge. The barbecue area is great for a siesta or outdoor entertaining. From our perspective, it would seem that the recently published 1* review is wholly unjustified. Nigel's parking instructions were very clear. If the kerb is painted yellow, do not park there! Please note, the yellow lines are not painted on the road itself, but rather on the kerb itself. You can park on the street before reaching the house, or in the square, just beyond the house. It will take you no more than a minute or two to walk to the house from your parking space. We have no hesitation in recommending Nigel's property. Also, his communication was both detailed and clear.

Désagréable à éviter
les personnes qui ont une voiture à éviter à fuir un très grand problème pas de parking le propriétaire mais parking mais il n'existe pas impossible de se garer devant la maison route barer par contre les locaux ont le droit 😠alor il vous conseille de vous garer dans les rues du village et il vous assurent qu'il n' y aura aucun problème ce que nous avons fait et 2 jour après nous avons trouvé notre véhicule accidenté sur tous le côté droit, personne ne sait rien et le propriétaire se n'ai pas sont problèmes et son interlocutrice Pepi de même, alor ont vous promet des choses à la fin voiture accidenté et amende donc aucun effort du propriétaire et il ai très arrogant. Annonce monsongère l'annonce au niveau des équipements il y n'y a pas de grill pain, pas de cafetière électrique mais une petite cafetière qui date de l'ancienne époque que vous devez laver nettoyer et remplir de café et attendre que le café monte et cela vous permet de prendre 1 seul verre de café donc très agaçant. La maison cache beaucoup de piège table du petit balcon en mauvaise état il suffit de la déplacer et vous la casser c'ai une table en verre elle tiens avec des vises rouiller par manque d'entretien, il y a aussi des store de l'ancienne époque des store en vieux bois à tirer avec une ficelle. Quelque un de ces store ne fonctionne pas correctement et surtout il faut pas tirer sinon le staure ce casse donc dans la chambre du haut nous avons éviter de les ouvrir et ceux de la pièce à vivre un côté était décollé et l'autre fonctionner mais pour bloquer sa reste compliquer et dangereux si vous êtes avec des enfants mon fils de 2 ans a failli se le prendre dans la tête alor que nous avons attacher la ficelle à la porte fenêtre. Concernant la porte fenêtre elle ferme que vers le haut, dans la pièces à vivre les loquet sont rouiller et la gros point négatif pas de climatisation dans la pièce à vivre malgré les volets fermés c'ai étouffant. Impossible de passer l'après-midi dans cette pièce malgré un ventilateur sa ne suffit pas . Autre point la suite parentale au dernier étage point négatif le lit king size et en faite 2 lit une place qui ont été rapprocher donc très désagréable matelas à ressort mauvaise qualité. Parasol casser la déco et belle mais la maison manque beoucoup d'entretien pour 1480 €la semaine ont trouve mieux à éviter 2 semaine de calvaires et aucune assistance du propriétaire ou de l'interlocutrice.

A perfect taste of real Spain in a beautiful house
Everything was perfect from start to finish. All communication with the owner was easy, quick and very helpful. Any questions were answered really promptly both before and during the stay. Pepi was there to allow us to get into house early and 6 cold beers in the fridge were a welcome touch. House was the best equipped we've ever stayed in and the pool area was amazing. We loved all the chilling out areas around the house. The village was great and we saw no-one that wasn't Spanish in our time there (perfect for us). We loved the "nightlife" -sitting out on the street for a copa and enjoyed choosing a free tapita with drinks. Our favourite bar was Miguel's at the entrance to the village-very friendly and great food but the food in all the bars was good. Recommend the pizza place for takeaway chicken at the weekend with homemade alioli. Highly recommended and hope to be back someday.

Fantastic house
We have just returned from staying at the house and had a fantastic time. The house is huge and has a really nice pool. As stated in the blurb, there is a bar next door so the front of the house is noisy at night but my daughter slept in the back and was absolutely fine. Communication with the owner was easy. Many thanks!

Fantastic house, lovely pool, great location
We loved this house. Spacious and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. Pool and garden were relaxing and well maintained and the barbeque area was the icing on the cake. Pepi, who manages the property, was friendly and helpful. The bar next door didn't bother us at all. Whilst you could hear a bit of noise in the evening, for us it gave the village a sense of life and community. It also serves great food and drinks at very reasonable prices and we found the locals charming. Overall a real gem and we would definitely come back.

Andalucia Adventure
I would highly recommend this house. It is centrally located in Andalucía so you can access Seville, Cordoba and Granada with a 1:30 to 2 hour drive. The kitchen was well stocked with staples so all you need to worry about is the food you want to prepare. Their are 3 local bars on the street that are a lot of fun to meet the people of the town. Would go again in a heartbeat. Thank you Nigel

Fantastic townhouse, excellent host
Nigel's Townhouse is near the borders of the areas of Malaga, Granada and Cordoba, in the heart of the olive production that dominates the surrounding hills. The setting is village more than town, in a good way, typically tranquil - although our stay coincided with a 3 evening festival of traditional song and poetry which filled the street outside with happy locals. The village is big enough to have general stores that was very friendly as well as pizza, bar etc. Just beyond the village many dusty tracks lead into the olive trees, many officially for walking/hiking for anyone who can take the heat or is investigating in cooler months. We wanted to give our children a snapshot of real Spain, without everything automatically translated into English and during our 10 day stay at the villa we enjoyed the local flavour, the nearby lake - diving from a pedallo into the clean cool waters - and also went cultural in visits to Granada and Malaga central. We also hiked in El Torcal, 50 mins away in the car and a spectacle that was quite breathtaking. Antequera, near to El Torcal was also well worth a visit. Of course the seaside is also quite accessible, and we did a day at a water park - though we preferred the gentle buzz of the beach at the lake just 15 mins away by car. As to the Townhouse itself if was as pictured, stylish, well furnished, comfortable beds, very well functioning galley kitchen, more than enough bathrooms, good showers, plenty of towels, sunbeds for the pool, BBQ, good Wifi... we have nothing other than praise for it, for Nigel, and for his local help in the shape of Pepi. From booking through to departure we felt like everything had been thought through carefully for our benefit.

Lovely Spanish townhouse in a very Spanish village
The townhouse, village and area were all beautiful and the weather amazing. While being in the heart of the village took me a few days to get used to, once settled we felt very relaxed, chilled and part of village life. Eating out with the locals in the evenings and exploring nearby Iznajar and it's amazing lake, was a wonderful experience. The views in the morning from the balcony were fantastic. We will certainly visit the area again and would certainly stay in the townhouse. It can be a little noisy in the mornings and evenings but that's just part of village life and we embraced it - wonderful week! Thanks Nigel 👍☀️🕶🍷😎

Lovely village house with great pool
We really enjoyed our 7 day stay at this lovely village house. The house and most notably the pool area was really well-maintained, and everything worked - it sounds a pretty basic requirement, but it's such a delight in a rented house when absolutely everything does work. Staying in mid-August, we can vouch that the aircon is very effective in the bedrooms, and the airflow in the other parts of the house ensures it's comfortable enough. We were slightly surprised at how small a village it is (compared with other Andalucian villages we have stayed in), and the food shops, consisting of one small general store and two greengrocers and a butchers, seemed to have very limited opening hours that we struggled with throughout, especially as we arrived on a Saturday evening. But the smallness of Villanueva de Tapia is part of the charm, and supermarkets are only a 15 minute drive away. There are also 4 small bars almost adjacent to the property, with tables in the street which from 8am (in August) are populated almost entirely by old men chatting loudly, and then from 8pm until 2am they are joined by families of all ages, eating and drinking and chatting even more loudly. It's all very jolly and friendly and full of local colour and atmosphere, and one can join in or else close the windows and shutters to effectively seal off most of the noise. A great experience.

Beautiful Village House
We stayed in this delightful house in April 2016, the inside of the house is furnished beautifully, the small balcony at the back is lovely to have both breakfast and lunch and the seating area by the bbq is a wonderful place to have a late siesta out of the sun. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here, it was very quiet except for the dawn chorus of bird which woke us every morning. All though there are three bars very close by, they seemed to be frequented by older clientele and never caused us a problem, there was no music or roakus behaviour, just general village life, it was lovely to experience. A thoroughly good holiday.

Fantastic for Families
This house has everything for a great family vacation to southern Spain, and was exactly as presented in the pictures. Set in a charming town, it was within 1-1 1/2 hours drive time to Granada, Cordoba, the White Hill Towns, and the coast. Allow at least 5 days to explore. The house is spacious, clean, and well appointed. The furniture and beds are comfortable. The swimming pool and deck are a delight. Communication with Nigel (the owner) was easy. Parking was plentiful on the street in front of the house. We loved our stay here. Be advised, that there are 2 bars located nearby, and patron noise can be disruptive in 2 (street facing) of the 3 bedrooms late at night on the weekends, and in the early mornings...the only drawback, otherwise a 5 star experience.

Very nice house with a lot of space
The house was very nice, with big rooms, very well equipped. Everything you need is there and even more. The kids enjoyed the pool even if the water was cold. The kitchen is as good as at home. The check-in and contact was also perfect. Thanks again!!! The only remark is the noise. The house is located at the meeting point of the village so people gather all day until late in the night since the bar is just across the street. Better windows in both bedrooms would be really appreciated. Many thanks for the stay. Regards Thomas and Stephanie from Germany

Maison au cœur d’un Petit village dans les montagnes, facile d’acces. De la place pour se garer autour de la maison. A 1h de tous les lieux touristiques de la partie est de l’andalousie. La piscine est très agréable, la maison grande et bien équipée, tant au niveau du matériel pour cuisiner, lave vaisselle, machine à laver avec la lessive... La clim fonctionne bien indispensable dans les chambres en été :) Le seul inconvenient est les bruits des bars juste à côté de la maison. Mais les ventilateurs des chambres mis en route couvre le bruit de la rue. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette maison.

Fantástica casa.
La casa tiene muy buenas vistas, está decorada con muy buen gusto y es bastante grande. La parte de la piscina es ideal para relajarse, disfrutando de un buen baño y una barbacoa. Lo que mejoraría: los colchones que son de muelle y son muy incómodos y el ruido de los bares, desde muy temprano hasta muy tarde los fines de semana.

Très belle maison mais beaucoup de bruit
Magnifique maison dans un village typique espagnol. Idéalement placée pour visiter l’Andalousie. Seul inconvénient : La maison est située en face d’un bar et les vitres sont en simple vitrage... Impossible donc de dormir avant une certaine heure le soir... et reveil très matinal par les bruits de la rue.
