This is a surprisingly large townhouse in the centre of a sleepy Spanish white village. It has an amazingly large pool area with wonderful views to the Mediterranean Sea

Interior

This country style townhouse has a spacious living room with two separate sitting areas. The one is secluded by a metal awning and the other area has an open fire place. The high slanting roof is lined with wooden beams and daylight streams in all day through dormer windows. The separate kitchen leads into the dining room from where you can access the large pool area. Casa Sofia has four bedrooms. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor and share a bathroom. Two of them have twin beds and the other has a double bed. There is an additional shower room by the pool area. The Master bedroom is located on the top floor under the roof. It has a separate sitting area and a slanted ceiling, which gives it a special charm. It has an en-suite shower room with a large walk-in shower

Exterior

The pool area is something you would never expect to find in such an inconspicuous townhouse. It has a barbecue area with a shaded sitting area and a very large terrace with several sun beds. The entire terrace is sheltered by an awning, which surrounds the terrace and provides a windshield as well as privacy. It does not however hide the beautiful views to the sea and Nerja

Amenities

There is not much to do in Maro and that is exactly its charm. Next door to Casa Mario is a small local shop which sells some local produce and groceries. The central point of this sleepy village is the local church and a square which is shaded by a pergola and surrounded by Date palm trees. The old local people sit here to enjoy the view over the sea and the tranquility of the moment. One kilometer down the cliff is a beautiful beach with a beach bar. Maro is on the border to the nature park and the sea here is crystal clear. There are more hidden beaches along the coast which can only be accessed by foot, walking down the usual steep cliffs. If all this sounds too secluded, do not worry the town of Nerja is only three kilometres away and offers a wide selection of restaurants and bars. The famous caves of Nerja are just 500 meters from Maro and in summer are host to the summer festival when classical concerts take place as well as famous artists such as Bebe Valdez from Buena Vista Social Club.
