Rustic Farmhouse for Holiday Rent | Grazalema, Andalucia, Spain

Property Description

Grazalema is a delightful and very pretty village in a sensational setting, surrounded on three sides by the craggy limestone peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema. A National Park, it's a part of Andalucia unlike any other and its rocky, rugged terrain is both spectacular and beautiful.

This old farmhouse is a couple of minutes away from the village, set within it's own six hectares of olives, almonds and fruit trees and surrounded by this exciting landscape. It's been restored by its local owners without in any way disturbing its country feel. It is genuinely rustic, both inside and out.

Decorated with old wooden furniture and old farm implements, entirely in keeping with the tiled floors and high, beamed ceilings, it's a big, spacious house, traditional and homely in its timeless, rural way.

Alongside the house is the appealing swimming pool and terrace area. And just up the little country road, one of the most interesting and friendly little towns in Andalucía with it's bars and restaurants, market days and lovely old buildings.

Grazalema is at the heart of the Natural Park - of the same name - and is one of the most beautiful of all the white villages. It stands nearly 3,000 feet above sea level in the lee of the Sierra del Pinar.

In common with the other pueblos blancos (white villages), Grazalema contains some of Spain's most distinctive traditional architecture. Narrow streets of whitewashed houses, most of them with wrought iron rejas drop steeply down the hillside. It's very pretty, a very relaxing village.

There's a multitude of things to do in the area, it's great walking and riding country, lanes wind (sometimes spectacularly) through the pine covered mountains to the other attractive pueblos blancos of Cádiz Province. Some of Andalucia's most attractive and interesting towns and cities, including Ronda, Jerez and Cádiz, even Sevilla, are not so far away.
