We had an idyllic two weeks at El Chopillo. It is beautiful and well equipped with every facility you could wish for, especially excellent air-con. The three large bedrooms are comfortable and beautifully attired. Lots of social areas in and out of shade outside make every meal and aperitif al-fresco, overlooking the serene views without another house in sight down the valley.
During our fortnight the weather was unbelievable.
Philippa was on-hand in case of problems but not remotely intrusive and gave a superb massage; do book one while you're here.
We made great use of the lovely pool and the jacuzzi in the evening when the temperature had cooled a little.
The shops are only 20 minutes away with several supermarkets in Loja (and an excellent A&E!!). Great restaurants locally. Granada less than an hour away. The beaches of Nerja 1.5 hrs away but worth a visit.
A great bird list too if you're interested with Azure-winged Magpies (and a Stone Marten after dark) in the fig tree outside our bedroom window, Blue Rock Thrush, Melodious and Sardinian Warblers, Turtle Doves, Golden Oriole, Little Owls, Nightingale and lots of Bee-eaters and Hawfinches plus Northern Goshawk, Montagu's Harriers, Booted and Short-toed Eagles and a stunning migrating flock of over 400 Black Kites all seen actually at the Villa in a fortnight.
We will definitely be back!
