Delightfully Rustic Country Cottage | Holidays in Andalucia, Spain

Property Description

This delightfully rustic farmhouse was built some 150 years ago and has been renovated by the grandsons of its former owners with care and skill. Its location is superb, deep in the heart of the rural, tranquil beauty of El Poniente Granadino. The views are both stunning and sweeping, encompassing the three provinces of Granada, Córdoba and Málaga.

Accessible from the little village of Fuentes de Cesna by a 1.7 kilometre track (in good condition), you drive through fields and farmlands to this little paradise of silence nested amidst hills carpeted in olive trees.

Morning Glory and roses clamber up whitewashed walls and over fences, an old vine covers one of the terraces adorned with ancient ceramic pots: everything is as it should be in a romantic, rural Andaluz cottage.

The rustic feel has been retained throughout the house and some clever new uses have been found for the old farm implements. Wooden doors and beams entwined with canes, nice mosaics in the entrance patio or around the mirrors, there are all sorts of charming little details. On the walls, paintings by a local artist add a colourful touch.

In summer, apart from the welcoming coolness of the house itself, you will have plenty of outside space to enjoy the panoramic views, either in the shade of the covered terraces, on the lawned garden or by the lovely swimming pool (which is fenced and gated making it an excellent choice if you have a younf family).

During colder months you can savour a good book in a rocking chair by the fireplace (there's central heating too), and enjoy the comfy feather filled duvets and the warm wooden floors in the upstairs rooms.

And, being in El Poniente, although in "the middle of nowhere" with nothing but rural peace and harmony to enjoy, it's nevertheless a very central location, an ideal base from which to discover the many marvels of Andalucía: the great historic cities of Granada, Córdoba and Sevilla, the Mediterranean coast with its exuberant beach and nightlife, the magnificent countryside, flora and fauna of the highest mountain ranges in Spain. The excellent and generally uncrowded motorway system makes all of them accessible.

Back here, Fuentes de Cesna, is an authentic rural village, serving the local community in time honoured fashion. In other words, it's facilities are rather basic! There are a few bars and a supermercado or two where you can get a few groceries.

Further afield, Iznajár has more shops and in either Rute or Loja, there should be everything you need. There is now an excellent restaurant, one of the very best in the whole province, in nearby Algarinejo.
