"We stayed in the Viri Suite, which is part of La Lipa Suites.
This was a 2-bedroomed, 2-bathroom, kitchen suite (m/wave, stove top, w/m, d/w, fridge/freezer, etc). Wifi and Smart TV. All air-con and ceiling fan.
Accommodation was clean, modern and spacious.
Beds were comfortable, and bed linen was fresh and looked lovely.
Terrace was adequate size and appropriately furnished, although the view was limited.
Occasional passers-by were friendly and weren't noisy or intrusive. We could have meals on the terrace without feeling socially awkward or 'on display'.
Our host met us at the front of the property. She explained a few of the local tourist options, took our details, and showed us to our suite which was around the back of the building and down some steep stairs.
There is a small supermarket just off the square in Almachar, which is more than adequate for provisions. A few small shops in Almachar also - but you'd have to hunt for them.
Almachar is a mountain village and any local exploration will be met with a series of challenging uphill walks, and steep stairs.
This also applies to the roads. If you're hiring a car it may be wise to consider an automatic if your clutch control and hill starts aren't on point. Similarly, DO NOT get a big car. The streets are very narrow.
Although La Lipa Suites offered parking at the property, actually getting there was a bit of a stressor and we ended up parking on the main road into the village.
Easily visit again, but smaller car."
