Highly recommended
Couldn’t recommend Castle view highly enough. The house is immaculate but while not being the height of luxury had everything we needed for an extremely comfortable two week stay. Great base for exploring Andalusia. Evening meals on the roof terrace were a highlight taking in the view as the sun set, as were outstanding meals at Mar de Gloria and Meson Ardarve. Previous reviewers have mentioned the steep uphill climb from the town, but well worth the effort. The owners, Melanie and Rupert were extremely helpful answering all our prearrival questions quickly.

Zum Genießen
Ein wenig abseits gelegen thront das Anwesen mitten in einem gewachsenen Stadtteil über der Stadt. Die Straße lebt – kaum Autos aber dafür aktives Familienleben der Nachbarn auf der Straße.
Altstadt und Restaurants fußläufig in 10 min. Aber Achtung; wer runter geht in die Altstadt muss auch wieder raufgehen…vor allem nach einem ausgiebigen Restaurantbesuch nicht ganz einfach.
Nebenan (50 m) ein kleiner Tante-Emma-Laden mit freundlichen Besitzern für das Nötigste, ein Aldi ebenfalls Fußläufig (Einkaufstrolly ist in der Wohnung vorhanden) in der Nähe. Weitere Läden mit dem Auto leicht erreichbar.
Die Aussicht über die Stadt ist einzigartig. Zum Genießen einfach auf die obere Terrasse oder in den kleinen Pool setzen. Frühstück im Patio gleich neben der gut eingerichteten Küche
Mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt; in guter Qualität und sehr sauber. Die Vermieter geben sich wirklich Mühe und sind auch gut erreichbar. Internet tadellos in der Wohnung, auf der Dachterasse wird es etwas langsamer.
Parken und reinfahren in die Straße/in das Viertel ist ein wenig triggy, der gewachsenen historischen Stadt geschuldet – oft sehr steil und immer eng. Daher auch keine direkte Parkmöglichkeit direkt vor der Wohnung. Ein- und ausladen aber kein Problem; wenn man sich die engen Gassen zutraut. Auto aber gut ca. 100 m im Umkreis sicher abstellbar.

Castle View et Antequera
Castle View c’est un havre de paix perché sur les hauteurs d’Antequera. Difficile de contenir notre enthousiasme après 3 semaines passées dans ce lieu magique. La maison est très propre, superbement décorée grâce à Melanie, confortable selon les plus strictes exigences, à distance de marche de la gare de bus et de train, et aussi des commerces et du marché. La remontée peut cependant être ardue pour certains.
Ce qui enchante encore davantage c’est l’ espace extérieur, d’une superficie équivalente à un grand salon supplémentaire. Les deux terrasses sont bien aménagées, celle supérieure offre le double plaisir de la vue saisissante sur d’Antequera sous divers éclairages selon le moment du jour, et la mini piscine parfaite pour se rafraîchir lorsque Le Soleil tape. Comme la terrasse est orientée au sud et protégée du vent sous trois côtés, nous y avons passé des journées ensoleillées même en novembre.
Nos hôtes, Melanie et Rupert, ont été comme notre famille à Antequera. Toujours serviables et cela sans délai.
En résumé un cinq étoiles bien méritées pour le Castle View!

Antequera's Gem
We cannot recommend the Castle View villa enough. It is truly a wonderful gem in this traditionally Spanish town of Antequera. The owners of Castle View couldn't do enough for us, they were so lovely and really made us feel very at home. The pool and rooftop terrace will quickly become your favourite spot. It's so easy to get into the centre of town and you'll be navigating your way around in no time. Although the villa is situated on a hill, affording you picturesque views of the town and castle, if you don't fancy the walk back up, the regular taxis around are only around 5/6euros. The town has a wonderful selection of restaurants to choose from and some beautiful places of interest (like the Bullring and Fortress) which are a must to visit. We found Antequera to be very authentic and not very touristy which we thought was refreshing and the locals are super friendly. We would definitely go back there.

Perfect
Sorry for the delay. Never left a review before but this is worth the effort and appreciation. Rupert and Melanie have thought of everything with many thoughtful touches. Great location with second to none view of Antequera City. Thankyou we will return.

Wonderful location
Just spent seven great days at Castle View before moving to Nerja. The property is lovely and has everything you need. The views from the roof terrace are breathtaking and is an amazing place to sit and watch the sun go down. Many thanks to Rupert for guiding us into the property and for showing us where to park which was easily done.
Many thanks

Amazing view over Antequera
The house is located on a hillside of Antequera. It offers an amazing view over the city and the surrounding mountains.
The pool is actually bigger than it looks on the pictures and it was really lovely to dip in and enjoy the views.
It's only a short walk to the city and in the evening we just took a taxi back (6€). It's not difficult to get a taxi, just ask in the last place where you had something to eat or drink and they'll call one for you.
Melanie and Rupert got us a map and showed all the best places for tapas and restaurants.
We had a very good stay and look forward to coming back soon!

Appartement tres propre, à distance de marche des services
Bel appartement, conforme aux photos. La piscine est agréable pour se rafraîchir. Assez spacieux pour 4 personnes. Endroit tranquille, en haut de la colline. Nous avons adoré notre semaine avec les enfants.

Prachtig uitzicht
Hebben er 2 weken verbleven met 2 volwassen en 1 kind. Het huis is niet groot maar wel praktisch.
Vanaf het terras heb je een prachtig uitzicht op Antequera en het Alcazaba.
Het centrum van Antequera is te voet bereikbaar in een 10-tal minuten, de klim terug is wel erg steil en vermoeiend.
Antequera is nog niet overstroomd door toeristen en een mooi stadje waarin veel te zien is.
Zowel het stadje als het huis is een aanrader.

Our first visit
Absolutely lovely.. Rupert met and guided us through the tiny streets. We enjoyed visiting the town for tapas and menu of the day ( plenty of choice but liked maison Diego best ). Although most of the time we just wanted to stay at Castle view and enjoy the pool and sitting areas outside . If we needed supplies the nearby shop was very friendly as we're the locals who let us know we had left our car lights on. A lovely stay and sad to leave.
