Puerto Collado is a viewpoint above Cómpeta and is worth the climb (or the bumpy drive!). From here you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Parque Natural de Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama and can see Nerja on the coast as well as the village of Frigiliana. #cómpeta #competa #tejadaalmijarayalhama #climbeverymountain #laaxarquía #andalucía #walkingholiday #luxuryselfcatering #villawithpool #puebloblanco #bespokeholidays #bookdirect #aplaceinthesun

Whatever time of year you visit, there is always colour in our garden as well as some interesting locally sourced plants. Casa Olivo is one of very few properties in the heart of the village which have a garden as well as a roof terrace and a pool. This makes it particularly popular with visitors to Cómpeta.
Today we are preparing for guests to who are visiting for the third time. Like many guests they are spending a night in the beautiful city of Málaga before the hour long drive to Cómpeta in the morning. #luxuryselfcatering #competaaccommodation #mediterraneangarden #housewithpool #villawithpool #spanishchristmas #returnguests #andalucía #andalucia #laaxarquía #bookaholiday #bookdirect
Christmas shopping is fun here in Cómpeta. There are lots of great local products on sale and one of our favourite shops in the village is @casa_de_la_pasa . We and our guests love visiting here throughout the year or going to their stall at the weekly market! #competa #cómpeta #canillasdealbaida #shoplocal #christmasshopping #localsouvenirs #cómpetawine #mieldecompeta #aplaceinthesun #spanishholiday #bookaholiday #andalucía #bookdirect
This is the ‘Olivo’ after which Casa Olivo is named. Unusually for the area the olives are ‘eaters’ as opposed to being grown for the production of oil. It is well known throughout the village and this year we have a great crop which along with our neighbours will be harvested this week. They will then be washed, scored and preserved with local vinegar, garlic and herbs! #aceitunas #oliveharvest #eatlocal
Everyone who comes to stay in Casa Olivo drives past Torre Del Mar before heading up into the mountains. It really is worth a visit - a long sandy beach and a beautiful landscaped promenade, good independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. It’s just over half an hour away by car. Or there’s a bus. A lovely day trip while staying in Casa Olivo! #torredelmar #wintersun #laaxarquía #costadelsol #sunseasand #realspain #aplaceinthesun #discoverandalucia #anewlifeinthesun #ohidoliketobebesidetheseaside

Our new property El Olivo is proving to be very popular and we’ve had some great feedback from guests since we opened in September as a boutique guest house. We are looking forward to welcoming guests this weekend who have previously stayed at Casa Olivo. Two different options, but both stylish and offering guests the very best of hospitality.
