This unique property sits upon the hillside in Casarabonela and offers magnificent views over the valley! Located on the edge of the village, shops, bars and restaurants are just around the corner. An ideal place to start a rural tourism business, surrounded by the beautiful nature of Andalusia and still within an hour of Málaga City, the airport and famous beaches of the Costa del Sol.

The incredible large building is built in traditional style and spread over 4 levels. With some investment it has the potential to become a successful hotel. There are 18 double rooms, all with en-suite bathroom and balcony overlooking the beautiful valley and distant mountains. Several large communal areas would make a perfect reception area, restaurant and lounge. There is lift access to all floors.

Currently the property is used as a refugee for local workers, each floor has a kitchen and communal areas. A reform is needed and there is a possibility to obtain a grant from the Town Hall for works on the property, with the proviso that the Hotel is run for a minimum of 5 years. If you are dreaming of running a rural business in the heart of Andalusia, come and explore this unique property ...

Casarabonela is located at the foothills of Sierra Prieta, part of the Sierra de las Nieves. The air is clean and the views are stunning, due to the elevated position of the village. It is an ideal base for outdoor- and nature lovers. Hiking, biking, horse riding or just a walk through the mountains and forest, with views over the Guadalhorce valley and even the ocean, are the perfect way to relax and enjoy the piece and quietness of the beautiful surroundings.

Walking through the narrow whitewashed streets, you will discover the Moorish soul, combined with Christian elements and Roman remains. The village has a central church and many plazas and outside terraces where you can enjoy sunshine, local tapas and a drink. Also at night you can join the locals for a drink in one of the bars. They have the usual Andalusian customs and events; the annual feria, procession and a unique Easter celebration. Olives play a big part of their economy, which comes as no surprise when you see the olive groves surrounding the village.

At the highest part of town, the remains of the Arab Castle Casarabonela are visible, besides its historical value it is an exceptional viewpoint! The botanic garden (Jardin Andalusi) of Casarabonela is well known for its collection of cactus plants, there are 2.500 species from all over the world.

Surrounded by mountains, there is one road into the village and one road out. Casarabonela is a bit further off the beaten track, but still located only 40 minutes (47 km.) from Málaga and the airport. The beaches of the Costa del Sol are a 45 minutes (62 km.) drive.
