Beautiful House in Álora with Pool and Views

About this house

In Álora, in the Guadalhorce Valley, this country house offers a retreat where life is set to the rhythm of the southern light and the cycles of the countryside. The climate—with very mild winters and intense summers—encourages outdoor living almost year-round, and the pool is essential when the heat intensifies.

The owners have not provided details about the interior layout, but the porch is a central feature of the property: from there, it’s common to gaze upon the Sierra del Hacho and the view of the white village crowned by its Moorish castle. On summer nights, the sky clears completely—free of light pollution—offering a perfect view of the stars.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by hills dotted with centuries-old olive trees, almond trees, and citrus groves. In spring, the scent of orange blossoms permeates the air. The center of Álora, with its local markets and amenities, is a ten- to fifteen-minute drive away, and the train station offers direct service to Málaga in just over half an hour.

The Caminito del Rey, built along the walls of the Gaitanes Gorge, is a must-see. Álora’s old town, with its white houses and churches, and Álora Castle are well worth a stroll. The Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, a Biosphere Reserve, features white villages with streets adorned with flowers.
