Casa Sophia is an ideal holiday home. 1 minute from the road and 5 minutes from Velez-Malaga, where there are reputed to be more than 100 hundred Tapas bars. The location of the villa has that wonderful coupling of two worlds. Set amid a magnificent rolling landscape from which one can see all of Spanish topography at its finest, for miles around, as well as Africa on a clear day. The sky at night at Casa Sophia is certainly a shepherd’s delight sandwiched between the stars that appear in abundance here and the dazzling view from below. This tranquillity is met, a short car drive away, with the town of Velez.

 

Although bustling with every day Spanish life, it is less touristy than one of the well known port towns. We have found this endearing and the locals kind and welcoming, like England used to be 30 years ago. Despite having a wide variety of restaurants, it is also nice to try out your own culinary skills with the local produce by visiting the lively indoor market in the old part of Velez, after having been for a delicious breakfast and fresher-than-fresh-ly squeezed orange juice at Antonio’s next door.

 

Although having visited Velez on numerous occasions, each time offers something new, be it another restaurant, another shop, another beautiful church, another friendly face…there is always something to discover. And if a change of scene is desired, one can visit nearby Nerja, Frigliana, Torrox or even Granada which is only a one and a half hour drive and that includes Snow Skiing. Casa Sophia is ideally located as a central point to explore and enjoy Southern Spain. Please note that a car is essential.

If some serious shopping is on the agenda, El Ingenio – the air conditioned centre – includes the large supermarket Eroski, a wide variety of shops including Zara, Mango and Dunne’s Stores and several restaurants, cafés and a cinema. Across the road is a water attraction park and a little further is Torre del Mar which is another delightful town to discover all in itself.

Karol and Ned says: "We found Casa Sophia to be a breathe of fresh air. The views were magnificent. The pool very refreshing. The villa was well stocked with everything we needed including essential foods such as milk, bread, butter, jam, water and wine. How nice to have that extra touch. The location was perfect. A place to get away and city center and beach were just a hop, skip and away. It was very private but we never felt isolated. Furnishings and beds were very comfortable and the villa was nicely decorated. The caretakers were just a phone call away and were able to help "guide" us around the area. They are lovely people. This was the best 2 week vacation we have ever had and look forward to coming back to Casa Sophia. "
