Calle del Laberinto, Competa Townhouse

Calle del Laberinto 27, is a traditional three storey village house in the old part of the village. It is interlocked with its neighbours as a result of its having been added to over the centuries. It is about two minutes walk from the main square. Two pictures above show the road up to the house and a view of the road as it leaves the house. It has been the owner's holiday home since they bought it in 1985 and has been modernised since then without loss of character.

The accommodation consists of a main sitting/dining room, fully equipped kitchen with automatic washing machine, shower room, further sitting room, two bedrooms and two roof terraces.

The first floor sitting/dining room is equipped with a double sofa bed with a separate, single under-bed thus offering the possibility of accommodation for a further two/three people (the house ideally caters for six people, although it can sleep seven if required). There is also a TV (Spanish terrestrial reception only) with DVD/VHS player – an excellent range of DVDs and videos (in English) are available for hire in the village. The double bedroom is accessed from this room.

The second floor contains a second sitting room plus a bedroom with two single beds which can be put together if wished.

There are two roof terraces which offer a choice between sun and shade. The upper terrace is accessed by an external staircase from the lower terrace. Competa is built on a steep hill and as a result the upper terrace enjoys views over the village and surrounding hills, and in the distance, the sea. In exceptional conditions it is possible to see mountains in North Africa.

Stairgates have been fitted so that very young children can play safely inside the house.

Calle del Laberinto, like most of the streets in the older part of the village, is labyrinthine and too narrow for cars, this contributes to the tranquil atmosphere. Car parking is available nearby. A full range of shops, including banks, are available within two minutes walk. Much of the charm of the older part of the village is a consequence of its being built on a steep hill. If you suffer from difficulties walking on steep inclines, we recommend you discuss this with us before making a booking.
