Sleeps 4. 2 bedroom renovated detached cottage in rural Andalucia. The property is very private with the advantage of a swimming pool to the rear of the property. The front of the cottage has a very large terrace. This has the advantage of two large built in seating areas over looking the olive groves and mountains beyond. The views are stunning,this is real Spain and you wont be disappointed. The terrace also has a table and four chairs along with gas barbecue's for those warm summer evenings. It also has the advantage of a pergola for shade during the day and solar fairy lights at night creating a wonderful evening atmosphere.
Bedroom 1 is a double bedroom with a king sized bed and large en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 2 is another large room with twin beds. All bedding is white cotton and the King sized bed has Egyptian cotton sheets.
Both bedrooms are at opposite sides of the stairwell to offer complete privacy. Shower room to side of second bedroom with large walk shower area WC and washbasin.
We also have a travel cot and high chair for babies.
Andalucian kitchen with gas oven and hob. Fridge with freezer compartment, microwave (placed in utility room, if required) toaster, kettle etc and full range of cookware.
Large utility room to hold all other utility needs for the property. We do offer a laundry service by arrangement with Sue (our house manager) Sue will arrange the cost with you.
A stylish and cosy lounge, newly furnished with leather sofas, SKY TV, DVD's music and films etc. A wood burning stove for use in winter months. Separate dining room with table and chairs for 4 people, this leads to the kitchen for easy access.
The cottage has a wonderful private swimming pool directly behind the house. This is enclosed in walled and gated surround providing extra privacy without spoiling the views of the countryside. Child safety in accessing the pool can therefore be controlled( Children should be supervised around the pool at all times) Sun loungers are provided and all usual outdoor furniture supplied. Pool toys and entertainments are all held in the pool house. There is a retractable awning, table and chairs, at the pool area to provide shade during the day for and for al-fresco dining.
There is also a pump house at the back of the pool holds the gas heater for the hot water to the house. Also, there is a separate WC and WHB.
Further down the garden(away from the pool and house area) is the housing for the generator. We do not have electric supply and we plan to go solar in the very near future but for now we have a very large generator in its own brick building, this has been more reliable than the Spanish electric system! we have learned how to go green. We do realise that not all people are used to generators but living with them can be fun! all it needs it the old fashioned way of living and a retro way of mind to take away the stress of modern day life. This does not mean you cannot have electric it just means a slower pace of life which is what holidays are all about. candles and solar lights are the way forward at night!! The switches for the generator are ideally located at the front of the house for arrival and an internal switch is ideally located in the dining room.
The house is very old (Approx 100+ years) traditionally built the Spanish way. Internally we have kept all the Andalucia features such as archways in the walls, original wood beams in the ceiling, original stone stairs (tiled) which divides the bedrooms. The stairs are not all even heights which adds to the charm and character expected of a Spanish Finca.
The walls are of thick stone ensuring coolness in the summer with the window shutters closed all day. The evening allows for a lovely breeze to flow through the rooms (we have netted screens covering the windows) The cosy wood burning fire will heat the house in winter making the lounge homely and comfortable..
The property is managed by our house managers and linen changes are provided per week. Please note towels are provided for bathroom use only. You will be required to bring your own beach towels.
