The Experience
A short hop from the coast. Wend your way up to El Monte Bajo – private and quiet, yet far from remote. Its sister, Al Ladino, is next door. Step onto the terrace: warm terracotta tiles and pathways lead to a beautifully kept garden with figs, lemons, bougainvillea. Skip down the steps into your cheerful kitchen to find homely knick-knacks and plenty of mod cons. The feel is one of real Spanish character, luxury and comfort.
You’ll find an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, sink and fridge and a lovely new shower here by the dreamy pool. Bedrooms are smart, white and modern with memory foam mattresses – a good night’s sleep guaranteed. Bathrooms are equally stylish: a sunken bathtub with garden views and a mosaic of natural stone take centre stage. Your welcome basket is generous, and brims with seasonal fruit, tuna, black bread, milk, red wine.
In cooler months the wood-burner will warm you and the pool can be heated.

When you open the entrance door of the walled house you enter a completely different world. A little paradise for us! An incredible garden and a house you can only dream of. It is a pleasure from morning to evening. We even dare to say that you have to search a long time throughout Andalusia to match El Monte Bajo. It's a TOPPER! All the details approach perfection, from the house, the garden to the pool… too many to mention, even the toilet paper is branded. Danny will help you with all the tips before arriving and during your stay so that everything runs smoothly. Muchas Gracias Danny!

Another Sawday's gem! Amazing place with every comfort necessary to enjoy the beautiful house & garden. Stunning views of the mountains and sea; the garden is very well kept, with a wonderful pool area, lots of space to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Danny kept in touch by WhatsApp / email before, during & after the visit. Very highly recommended - we hope to return soon!

An absolutely beautiful & stunning villa & garden. Clean, spacious beautifully furnished. The views of the mountains and sea are breathtaking. The garden is a delight with a generous pool & lots of space & many, many options to sit in sun or shade. We spent far more time at the villa than we anticipated because it was so peaceful & relaxing. Danny kept in touch by email before, during & after the visit. Highly recommended.

The neighbourhood
Wander the wonderful selection of fruit trees, including mangoes. You could walk down to the beach (uphill on the way back) as it's only 2kms. Head out for excellent walks in the nearby sierras, or visit Granada's Alhambra (just over an hour's drive) and the beautiful town of Frigiliana - once voted prettiest village in Spain. At the beach you'll find a little beach bar called Chiringuito Cacola.

Introducing
Dan Bowers
Danny happened across El Monte Bajo and Al Ladino more than 20 years ago and loved them for their unspoilt views, tranquility, clean fresh air and positive energy. Since buying the houses he's been rebuilding and improving them, all whilst working to preserve their old-world Spanish character. José Antonio is the caretaker and the local contact during your stay, on hand for anything.
A beautiful sanctuary in the hills above Nerja. Farmhouse is tastefully decorated throughout and feels like a real home from home. We made good use of the pool, bbq and outside space, and enjoyed listening to the frogs chatter in their pond. The farmhouse is ideally situated for visiting surrounding areas of Grenada, Frigiliana and La Herradura. A car is useful for getting around though the teenagers managed the climb down the hill to the beach. Nerja itself is a lively market town with many restaurants and bars worth trying.
