Canto de Pájaros

A private villa high above the bay of Torre del Mar — big pool, LED jacuzzi, new Ibiza-style kitchen, and a silence that carries across the valley to the Mediterranean.

Canto de Pájaros — the song of birds — sits on the last bend of a quiet road above Sayalonga.

Below the terrace, the valley opens onto Almuñécar and the sea; behind it, the mountain. Most days, the only sounds are the mirlos in the olive trees and water moving in the pool.

“Built for slow weeks. A pool you'll live in, a kitchen you'll cook in, a view you'll keep coming back to.”

The house sleeps five across two bedrooms (one king, one with a bunk bed and single), plus a cot on request. Two full bathrooms, one en-suite. A new Ibiza-style open kitchen flows into the covered terrace and dining area. The pool is 9×4.5m with LED lighting and jets; the jacuzzi has multiple massage modes and LED, running year-round. A pellet stove keeps the living room warm in winter.

★★★★★

“This villa is perfect in every way. We spent a relaxing week here and hardly left — quiet and private yet never isolated. The large pool actually has a deep end. The views are stunning.”

Stuart W. Vrbo
★★★★★

“We had the best vacation in this little paradise. Our kids (11 and 14) loved the 14 days in what we called "our mountain". The hosts replied very quickly. We would love to come back.”

Mette & family Denmark · Vrbo
★★★★★

“Words cannot describe. We stayed three nights looking for somewhere secluded to relax. The views, the sunsets, the pool and jacuzzi — all just for us. We will definitely be returning.”
