A beautiful old farmhouse in a lovely rural location, now converted into a delightfully intimate country house
holiday rental property of excellent quality.
The cortijo has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, it's as if the antique furnishings
have the ability to slow time down. There is a large sitting room downstairs,
where the original, attractive tiled floor has been retained, and a small but comfortable
dining room. Throughout, decoration and furnishings are tastefully in keeping
with the romantic tradition of this fine old house.
There is one suite which comprises a double bedroom and a small sitting room
alongside (where an extra single bed can be accommodated, if required) and three
other twin bedrooms. All have en-suite bathrooms, each is painted in a different
pastel shade.
A wide terrace at the front offers a cool, tranquil sitting area, under the shade of the ancient
Aleppo pine tree which rises high above the old farmhouse; there are pretty gardens
too, a very inviting swimming pool and a part-covered garden patio to the rear,
a pleasant area to have breakfast.
And the views, of the little village of Albuñuelas in the river valley below,
the surrounding groves of oranges and lemons, almonds and olives, to the pine-covered mountains
beyond are superb.
Delightfully rural, yet it's less than 40 minutes away from
Mediterranean beaches (heading south) or from Granada, in the opposite direction.
