Hugging the hillside like a beacon, this is a house of great character- some would say eccentric - set on a vast, 54 acre mountain estate. Anyone looking for authenticity and tranquillity will treasure this unspoilt paradise, without doubt, one of the most beautiful locations in Spain.

The estate consists of four separate properties: the owner's house and three rental cottages called Bodega, Veleta and Campana. And while not professing to be of high luxury, the ambience is comfortable, light and airy while at the same time being quirky and full of character.

From the road into Jimena, just a stone throw from the village, a country track takes you through the electric gate – and along the driveway to a parking bay directly in front of the main house. Park here and you have arrived into a haven of tranquillity.

This country house is idyllic. Spacious and well appointed inside, its five acres of gardens and grounds are fabulous, a perfect setting for some of the most seductive and peaceful views in Andalucí­a. It epitomizes all that we expect from a perfect Andalusian holiday villa.
