Welcome to Casa Sophia, a delightful, self-catering, traditional village house in a quiet, pretty little cobbled lane within the charming Village of Torrox Pueblo. Only 2 km from the Sea this little House has a very convenient yet tranquil location. Set in a pedestrianised lane there is parking nearby but you really do not need a car to get around especially as the village has every facility necessary for day to day living and buses run on time! Only one hour from Malaga Bus station but there are plenty of airport pick ups available. One well-behaved dog or cat is welcome but there is no garden attached to the house although of course there are plenty of interesting little walks around the village.
The Casa is comfortably furnished for up to 4 people but also has an extra sitting room which has 2 put u up beds for guests if you are thinking of staying for a month or more. You enter Casa Sophia up a paved slope off of the public lane and this offers that little extra privacy which means that you can leave your doors open and enjoy the winter sunshine or the cooling breeze. The double doors open directly into the cute reception/sitting room with freeview (UK) TV and radio. There is a downstairs double bedroom and a short passage way leads to the well equipped kitchenette with an oven with gas hob fridge and microwave. Just outside in the courtyard is the shower room (excellent pressure) with separate new toilet and a lavateria (washing machine etc). Opposite the kitchen is a dining room with a table and 6 chairs. Passing through this room you go up the stairs to the large landing area some 3m square which has put you up beds and is suitable as either an alternative living room area or third bedroom. There is also a quaint bedroom with single beds and a wardrobe and chest of drawers with mirror. From the 3rd bedroom you can also access the large suntrap terrace which is some 20' x 10' in size and has a table and chairs and makes an ideal place to chill out in the evenings.
Casa Sophia is in a very tranquil yet convenient part of the village and only a short walk (four minutes) from the main square with its fresh food market, shops, bars, restaurant, medical centre (emergency as well as normal ailments), dentist and pharmacy. La Plaza de la Constitution (the main Square) and is extremely traditional and attractive with it's avenue of orange trees with half a dozen excellent and reasonably priced bars and restaurants, it is a truly delightful place to sit and absorb the charm of Spain (along with a glass of wine or chilled beer) especially in the evenings when the orange blossom or Dame de la Noche is in bloom. The Casa is also only two minutes from the main road which passes around the Village, The bus stop is just round the corner as is parking and a bit further on (100m) is an even larger car park. Buses are very frequent, reasonable in price and punctual - the only thing punctual in Spain!
Torrox Old Town is situated on a hill overlooking the sea and there are beautiful view and a charming variety of quaint little houses. Most walks do involve some steps to climb and whilst there is easy access to the house and it is near the centre more level area it is not really suitable for the disabled or infirm so saying so long as you are relativel fit you can easily negotiate your way to the delightful central plaza to sit and enjoy your coffee or vino. The Village winds in labrynth of delightful flower bedecked streets lanes and steps, with the ever present warbling of canaries and finches as musical accompaniment. This is Real Spain but next to the sea and with modern conveniences.
Torrox Costa is a delight and only 2km from the Village. With a wide sandy, gorgeous beach and rather sedate promenade with numerous restaurants and bars, stalls and shops to explore. Further along there is the wilder part with beachside traditional restaurants with the traditional delicacy of sardines braised on an open fire. There is miles of gorgeous beachside where you can just stop the car hop out and take a dip.
Torrox has easy access to Malaga, Seville, Granada, Almeria, Cordoba, Alambra de Granada and numerous quaint villages in the mountains of the National Park of Axarquia. There is masses to do and see with numerous watersports available as well as horse riding, cycling, off roading etc.
There is always the Fabulous Historical Cities of Malaga, Seville and Cordoba to visit to, just under a couple of hours drive it is worth leaving early.
If you like clubbing just to along to the east end of the Torre del Mar sea front, there are numerous beach front restaurants and ice cream parlours too.
It's well worth a drive to the Lecrin Valley which has become a mecca for alternative health therapies and crafts.
Then there is the Rhonda the fantastic cliff top inland town famous for its ancient bridge and buildings, closer to home we have our own mini Rhonda just up the road visit Comares up in the clouds or closer to God.
Casa Sophia makes the ideal little place to try before you buy. So if you are sick of the British weather rent out your house and just come and stay and see if you would enjoy living in Spain.
