This lovely and very neatly renovated, 200 year old farmhouse gleams white and bright in the midst of joyful countryside, its buildings ranging around pretty gardens which overlook the crystal-blue waters of the fabulous swimming pool below.

Once a derelict farmhouse and a few outbuildings, this is now one of the most beautiful places to stay anywhere in Europe. No expense has been spared in transforming its numerous buildings into a spacious, stylish, luxurious holiday villa. The result is, quite simply … stunning.

This Cortijo feels authentically andaluz, a modern take on the traditional cortijo theme with bedrooms and living spaces wrapped around a flagged, inner courtyard. This is a big, big house with five metre-high ceilings in its sitting/dining room and kitchen adding further to that glorious sense of space.

Now a fabulous, interior-designed villa for a group of friends or family wishing to holiday together, this superbly restored olive mill is unique, a wonderful place to stay. In the heart of Andalucía, here you are perfectly placed to visit the great cities, beaches, mountains and ski slopes.

From the moment you walk through the front door you realise this is not a regular holiday home. The understated style and comfort is unbeatable, every detail has been carefully considered. This truly superb villa is set in seven acres of natural parkland with views to the Gibraltar Straits and Africa beyond.

The most stunning feature of this villa has to be its beautiful gardens, but when you step inside the house, into the entrance hall, you instantly feel the quality of this holiday villa. The decor is warm, all in gentle reds, rusts, golds and ochres, the tones are of African earth and sunshine.

This impressive two-storey house, Arabic in origin, can be traced back to 1542 when it belonged to the ancestors of the present family. Grandiose both inside and out, with a spectacular pool, which is claimed to be one of the first swimming pools in Granada!

Surrounded by some of the most dramatic mountain scenery to be found in Andalusian Spain, this fabulous property, a beautifully restored Casa Señorial (manor house), sits proudly on the edge of the town, overlooking its own lush gardens and pool below.

The setting of this villa is spectacular, like no other…miles and miles of oak land as far as the eye can see, just the gentle sound of sheep bells and bird song – nothing in the world to disturb the peace….. It really is an amazing spot, so we just could not resist taking on this fairy tale country finca.

The owners bought the house in 2007 and since then, they have completely renovated it to be a house of superb quality and style. With the addition of the river apartment, a guest cottage, indoor and outdoor heated pools and a jacuzzi, this is a property that is lacking for nothing.
