Overview
This is one of the largest of six award-winning Aracena holiday villas set here and there in an expanse of cork oak and chestnut forest, amidst spectacular mountain scenery.
The villa offers quality accommodation in a gorgeous retreat near Aracena, in an estate spread out over a large area. The houses here are set well part to allow a full measure of privacy, so the villa is ideal for people on private holidays who don’t mind greeting others now and then, but who value their intimacy and independence.
The totally tranquil natural environment is a mountain retreat with more than just a touch of class. It’s a place to relax, read, go on long walks in the beautiful Sierra de Aracena, or have a day out in Seville, and then return to the comforts of your country home.
This two-bedroomed cottage is built on raised ground above the river bank, ensuring excellent views are of the surrounding hills and the green valley.
The villa is made from local stone, fitted out and decorated to high standards. It is spacious, light-filled and superbly furnished. Bedrooms have solid wood ceilings and bathrooms are beautifully tiled. The villa comes equipped with an efficient underfloor central heating for wintertime.
The ground floor Master bedroom opens out onto the terrace. The terrace has views and is furnished for outdoor dining.
There is an additional common room: a very comfortable, sitting and dining room that is open to everyone staying here.
Guests also share use of a large swimming pool and a splendid tennis hard court, set in delightful natural surroundings. Please bring your own tennis equipment.
Additional facilities include donkey rides, Spanish guitar and Spanish language classes and babysitting. Please ask us if you wish to take up any of these opportunities, as some may need booking well in advance.
The Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche is an unbeatable natural area of southern Spain and this particular corner is very special. Relaxation, river walks, visual splendour and gastronomic satisfaction are just a few of the attractions. The hospitable facilities provided by the friendly owners include vegetables from their market garden and tips for the best restaurants in charming little Alajar village, whose whitewashed houses and cobbled streets are only a short walk away.
Alajar village is a delightful 20 mins stroll away. It’s a quiet, attractive village with good restaurants. Interesting excursions will take you to the Peña, or cliff, above Alajar and further afield to Rio Tinto (ride the train through the old mines), Almonaster La Real (visit the mosque within the castle) and Jabugo village (for superlative Iberian cured ham).
For a special day out and a city experience, you have exuberant Seville 90 mins away, Andalucia’s capital and one of the most attractive cities in Spain. Seville Airport is also the closest, followed by Jerez, and Faro in Portugal.
Otherwise, exploring the beautiful Sierra de Aracena with its wild flowers in spring and excellent edible mushrooms in autumn.
The English, Dutch and Spanish-speaking owners live on site and are available to answer your questions and help with local arrangements.
