Property Description
This lovely rustic town house has been carefully restored and decorated by its English owners to create a home full of old-world charm.
Traditional features, such as 300 year old beams, exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, and a white washed facade adorned with ornamental iron work have been preserved and mixed with bright ceramics and Moroccan artifacts.
Situated at the very edge of Jimena de la Frontera, just below its famous castle, this house is for enjoying the best of both worlds, from complete privacy by the little swimming pool at the back of the garden to the bustling street life of one of Andalucia's most charming villages. Little shops, tapas bars and restaurants abound in Jimena.
The nearby Alcornocales Park is a paradise for nature lovers and beaches, golf courses and the ancient town of Ronda are all an easy drive away.
Downstairs are two twin bedrooms, each with its own colourfully tiled bathroom, and a small study / bedroom which opens to a patio. The swimming pool lies further down some steps in the terraced garden. By the pool there is a small terrace with sun loungers which is completely private and enjoys beautiful views of the valley and mountains beyond.
On the first floor the open-plan kitchen / dining / sitting room gives onto a wide terrace with wonderful views over the Hozgarganta river gorge to the cork-oak forested slopes of the Alcornocales Natural Park beyond.
This terrace is perfect for sunbathing and dining al fresco although its low wall does not make it ideal for younger children. The kitchen opens to a dining area which has a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a large dining table.
Jimena de la Frontera is one of the most charming of Andalucia's small towns, its castle presiding over a village well known for its tapas bars and restaurants and the annual International Music Festival (in early July). From the house it's just a five minute stroll to the centre of town.
One great day out not to be missed is on the narrow gauge railway from Jimena to Ronda. The little train stops at the little white villages along the way and passes through fabulous landscapes; it's air-conditioned and you can buy drinks on board!
