A former 18th century convent, carefully restored by the American architect Kit Smith to make a stunning three double bedrooms / two bathrooms family home (two queens beds, and one room with Twin Beds.)
The property consists of a very large house (about 3000 ft²) with chef gourmet kitchen and an up-right piano for musical evenings between friends. The townhouse is surrounding a central Andalusian courtyard with tropical plants, with its own well and a 4m x 3m splash pool. There is also a summer room for cool afternoon siestas !
¨la casa del piano retains many original features, such as fire places, oak beams, woodwork and hand painted terracotta tiling. Furnishings combine comfort in keeping with the style of the region and preservation of the house, two modern bathrooms, one with bath/ one with shower, two spacious living room with fire places and a fully-equipped kitchen. Perfect for a couple or a family, or a group of friends.
It is located in the most sought after part of the historic “pueblo” of Jimena de la Frontera in the only pedestrian street in the village, calle San Sebastian.
Jimena is on the well known ´bird super highway¨… each years millions of birds travel from Sub-Saharan Africa to nest all over Europe. They funnel across the Strait of Gibraltar, over Jimena and, eventually, on into Europe. Walk directly from the house to view swallows, black storks, white storks, red kites, ospreys, wag-tails, etc…
La casa del Piano is ideally situated to provide easy access to Blue Flag Mediterranean beaches 20 minutes' drive away, excellent restaurants, shops and superb golf courses (Valderrama, Sotogrande, etc) along the coast.
Bakers and fish sellers come every day with their van to deliver fresh bread, sweet specialities, and sea food. Many bar/restaurants are just around the corner. Supermarkets, banks are at walking distance from the house.
The wonderful cities of Seville, Cordoba, Jerez, Tarifa, Grenada and Malaga are all less than 3 hours away - and Morocco is a 30-min ferry crossing from Tarifa.
