Pets not allowed
A 48-square-meter Tiny house with a private terrace perfect for watching the beautiful sunset, perched high on a mountain. Our 4-hectare finca is located here, a 20-minute drive from the coast in the province of Málaga. Somewhat secluded yet close to a charming village on one side and the sea on the other, and just a stone’s throw from a nature park. An ideal spot for wandering through the mountains, unwinding by the pool, and enjoying a beautiful sunset and a dazzling starry sky. It’s a wonderful place to unwind and relax. Some call it a vacation; others call it coming home. Every so often, a pair of eagles or falcons flies overhead in search of food, while other birds sing their songs. Here, privacy, peace, quiet, and nature are guaranteed. The estate also features the main house (the owners’ residence), a pool for taking a dip or relaxing, and a spot with a renovated trailer, nestled in the middle of the olive grove. We live off-grid here.
Nature and surroundings
The dome is located near the Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara, and Alhama Nature Park, with the magnificent La Maroma mountain as its highlight. The entire area is ideal for short or long hikes (GR trails) of all difficulty levels. There are many highlights, with or without waterfalls; for example, the trail to the suspension bridge “El Saltillo” attracts many visitors from both Spain and abroad. In addition to the mountains, there are also beautiful spots along the coast, where it’s certainly peaceful and pleasant to relax, especially outside of peak season. The owners (Esther and René) are happy to take the time to tell you about the most beautiful spots. In the village of Canillas de Aceituno, you’ll find small supermarkets, a pharmacy, a wonderful bakery, and several restaurants. For a delicious vegetarian meal, you can turn to the owners, who previously ran the vegetarian restaurant “La Cantina Verde.” Vélez-Málaga is the nearest major city, with a historic center and an old castle. Málaga is 40 minutes away

A truly special place, surrounded by nature. The hosts, Esther and René, are very welcoming and have lots of great tips for activities and beautiful spots.
It’s definitely worth joining them for a meal—Esther makes delicious vegetarian meals! We had some very meaningful conversations during our meals.Een hele bijzondere plek, midden in de natuur. De hosts, Esther en René zijn heel gastvrij en hebben veel goede tips voor activiteiten of mooie plekjes.
Het is het zeker waard om mee te eten want Esther maakt heerlijke vegetarische maaltijden! Tijdens de maaltijden onstonden er hele waardevolle gesprekken.Beautiful surroundings in the mountainous landscape of Andalusia. The drive to the cottage is really fun!
Prachtige omgeving in het berglandschap van Andalusië. De weg naar het huisje toe is erg leuk om te rijden!

De weg er naartoe is uitdagend.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Beste Astrid en Edwin,
Dankjewel voor je mooie woorden, we vonden het fijn jullie als gast te mogen ontvangen. Het klopt dat het laatste stukje weg naar de dome wat lastig kan zijn. Gelukkig konden we daar een mooie oplossing voor bieden door jullie naar de Dome te brengen of dat jullie zelf deze laatste 200m te voet aflegden. Inmiddels zijn we in gesprek met de gemeente om ook dit laatste stukje van de weg in orde te maken. Volgende keer zullen jullie gewoon ontspannen de weg kunnen vervolgen.
Hartegroene groet van Esther en RenéFantastische accommodatie, mooie omgeving, fantastisch uitzicht, heerlijk stil en ongelooflijk gastvrije accommodatiehouders.

Awesome!! The dome is a wonderful little cottage, fully equipped with all the amenities. We felt right at home there. René and Esther are incredibly kind and hospitable people. On Sunday, we enjoyed Esther’s cooking and René’s hospitality. It was super cozy and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!
Response from the host:
Dear Jorrit and Johanna,

Warm regards, René van MegchelenTop!! De dome is een geweldig klein huisje, het is van alle gemakken voorzien. Wij voelden ons er erg thuis. René en Esther zijn super lieve en gastvrije mensen. Op zondag hebben we genoten van de kookkunsten van Esther en het gastheerschap van René. Super gezellig en mega lekker. Aanrader!

Beste Jorrit en Johanna,
Dankje wel voor jullie positieve beoordeling. We zijn blij dat jullie het zo naar jullie zin gehad hebben bij ons en vonden het gezellig dat jullie er waren. Graag tot een volgende keer. Hartelijke groet van Esther en René
Alvast dank voor het verwerken in de reviews op jullie site.
Hartelijke groet, Rene van MegchelenAmazing! The dome is located in a place where you can hear the silence and experience pure nature. The view, the mountains, the tranquility, the sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this special place. Remote, yet not really. The location is fantastic. From the dome, it’s a 25-minute drive to the coast.
Waanzinnig! De dome staat op een plaats waar je de stilte hoort en puur natuur ervaart. Het uitzicht, de bergen, de rust, de zonsondergang. Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf op deze bijzondere plek. Remote maar toch ook weer niet. De ligging is geweldig. Vanuit de dome rijd je in 25 minuten naar de kust.
