We are based in Lincolnshire where we both work, which means we cannot get to our holiday home in Nerja as often as we would like. For the times we cannot go there we let it out.

Our interests are walking, tennis, sailing, skiing and enjoying relaxing in Nerja.

We were drawn to Nerja by its unique atmosphere, a varied coast line with individual beaches, a good climate and a large variety of restaurants, tennis and walking open all year round.

In our opinion Oasis de Capistrano is the prettiest urbanisation in Nerja, with lovely swimming pools, surrounded by developed palm trees and tropical gardens, in a peaceful environment with no parking problems.

We were attracted to our house, with split level floors, two bathrooms, juliet balcony, views of the sea and sun on the terrace all day, important in the winter, but also with shade in the hot summer months. The terrace is private and not overlooked. The house has air conditioning in the bedrooms and living room, which also provides warm air heating. It has a fully equipped kitchen with dish washer, washing machine and microwave, together with free wifi. For the cooler winter months there is a wood pellet burner to take the chill off the air.

The property is located on the edge of Nerja, with views of the sea and a romanesque adequaduct with lush countryside beyond. The beach, is just 10 minutes walk away through avocado orchards, and the centre of Nerja 20 minutes walk or by the local bus 5 minutes.

Shopping is close at hand with two well stocked supermarkets. The grounds of Oasis, which are built on the side of a valley, with a stream meandering through, has fish ponds, award winning gardens which give colour all year round. The established trees provide shade in the summer, and relaxing by the poolside beats many five star hotels.
