Situated in lovely, rolling countryside, with views over the valley
to the Sierra de las Salinas beyond, this holiday home is only seven kilometers
away from the enchanting, ancient city of Ronda.
A country road winds its way gently from Arriate, a very relaxed little
market town, down through
olive groves and pastures on its way to Sentenil, one of the traditional pueblos blancos. Here, two kilometres out of town, the villa
sits just above the roadside.
The ample, lawned gardens, resplendent with mature pine, fruit and palm trees,
surround the house on three sides and are quite delightful. The property is fenced
off so this is a great place for children to run around and have a bit of fun.
Great for adults, too, as it's totally private.
Behind the house, little steps lead up to an attractive pool terrace, gated
off from the garden for additional safety. It's a decent sized pool (9 metres
x 5 metres), replete with sunloungers and outdoor furniture. There are worse places
to spend a summer's afternoon!
At
the front of the house, the shaded porch area is another attractive space to relax
and revel in the simple joys of nature all around you. There is a second outdoor
dining area in the back garden complete with a barbecue.
Inside, the villa is clean, comfortable and adequately furnished. The kitchen space is however, a little limited
and whilst it is possible to rustle up a simple meal or a snack or two, the lack
of workspace would make the creation of a dinner party here a little more problematic.
But this is more than compensated for by the lovely gardens and the welcoming
swimming pool. The location is excellent too, tranquil and serene countryside
all around, and close to the characterful little towns of Arriate
and Sentenil.
