The JacAL is an ecoproject - a traditional villa in lush hills of East Marbella, in 1400 m2 of nature, surrounded by white walls, between the mountains and the beach (30 min away walking), we are in a quiet suburb, called here urbanizacion, the centre of charming town of Marbella is reachable in about 40 min walking, much faster cycling.
The JacAL is a perfect base for day trips to some of the most wonderful locations in Spain - Tarifa, Bolonia, Cadiz, Sevilla, Malaga, Granada - by car or by bus/train.
As we are busy with other things, and out of pure curiosity, we let the Nature run freely here - the results have been astonishing ! Grass grew 2 m high, the grounds transformed into a tightly-knit ecosystem that never stops to amaze - with olive trees, almond tree, lemon trees, fig trees, tangerine, huge cypresses, cacti, and countless other plants, frogs, insects, birds - all in dynamic equilibrium, a daily spectacle to enjoy.
In this almost perfect tranquility, combined with super-fast optic cable Internet we have reached productivity levels never imagined before. Perfect and secure base for teleworking, but also, if you are planning to move to countryside and/or Spain in particular, this would be a good trial run.
Nothing calms the mind and inspires the soul like a clear view from the terrace, across the sea to Gibraltar and, on a good day African coast closing the horizon. The sunset is our every evening movie, varying between quietly pleasant and grippingly spectacular, comfortably watched from our swinging bench.
The swimming pool is 8 x 4 m and about 2.2m deep - practise snorkelling !
The best, and most cost-effective, way to enjoy this venue is to rent all three rooms, as friendly individuals or couples, plenty of space for everyone - acting together in a joint project or apart, in loose association.
