Nestled against the stunning backdrop of Montgo National Park, our villa offers you a front-row seat to one of Spain’s most captivating natural landscapes—a sanctuary of peace and beauty. Formed some 70 million years ago, the massif of Montgo forms the last spur of the huge Cordillera Prebética mountain range that runs across southern Spain from Andalucia to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It rises to 753m and dominates the skyline for a fair distance. From the south, the light side, it is often said to resemble the head of an elephant with its trunk extending out into the sea.
It serves as a natural barrier against harsh weather conditions, which is why at Villa Paso Lento you will experience a lot warmer air then directly by the sea. Montgo also creates a microclimate which is considered to be one of the healthiest in the world!
