Holidays in Spain | Holiday Home in Los Pueblos Blancos

Property Description

The striking characteristic of this recently built holiday home is its stunning setting above the lake at Zahara.

Up in the hills, some two kilometres from the village of Zahara de la Sierra, one of the most attractive of all the pueblos blancos, this is a lovely part of the fabulous Grazalema National Park. Access from the Ronda to Sevilla road is quick and easy. There is some rather unattractive "under-plastic" vegetable farming on the way up to the property, but this cannot be seen once you are at the house.

The house is set apart from neighbours, nice and quiet. The open space before the house offers superb views of the spectacular lake and surrounding hills: a tremendous panorama. There is plenty of room for children to play, there are swings and a gated swimming pool area.

The house is on two floors, with the living / dining room and newly equipped kitchen downstairs, along with two of the three bedrooms. Upstairs, the double bedroom has a half open-plan design, creating a imaginative feeling of space as it half opens to the lounge below. It leads round to a comfortable sofa placed by a window to take advantage of the views.

Although the house is of recent constuction, elements of the design reflect local tradition, especially the lofty wood ceiling and solid wood beams in all the rooms, even the bathrooms. Other examples are the grand open fireplace with its log mantelpiece, and the farm implements and hunted wild boar adorning walls painted a pleasant cream colour.

It's very much the local Spanish style; many like it ("we had a fantastic holiday and the villa was super", said one client); for others it's not quite their cup of tea.

The swimming pool is flanked by a newly planted garden and has night lighting, as does the private parking area.

Zahara de la Sierra is a delightful old-time village, one of the famous pueblos blancos in this very beautiful part of Andalucía.

Built on the slopes of the Grazalema mountain range, which rise spectacularly on all sides of the lake, its Moorish castle perched on a craggy outcrop at the very top, its a classic situation and a lovely place to enjoy a tapa or two or an authentic local meal. We haven't tried it ourselves (yet) but our spies in the area are sending rave reviews of restaurant 'Al Lago' in the village.

From here it's easy to travel to Ronda, Arcos de la Frontera and Grazalema itself, all interesting, attractive towns surrounded by magnificent scenery.

All in all, a good value, simple, unpretentious family holiday home, good for kids with its fenced pool and plenty of room to play in the garden. And, best of all, it's in one of Spain's most delightful pastoral corners.
