This beautifully restored 19th-century Andalusian farmhouse is an eco-friendly retreat that offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern luxury. It’s surrounded by hectares of private farmland where horses, pigs and sheep roam free. It feels like a step back in time with a traditional country kitchen and a cottage-like living room inside, but there’s also a modern kitchen for 21st-century cooking. Within the sprawling gardens, you’ll find plenty of places to dine and unwind with a view of the Andalucian hills and the swimming pool is naturally treated with salt water. For supplies (perhaps for a barbecue), the quaint mountain town of Alcalá del Valle is 3 kilometres away.

Home truths

    There is livestock within the surrounding hectares so you may hear the occasional bleat of a sheep or whinny of a horse. Those bringing a dog should consider this.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    the closest village with a supermarket is Alcalá del Valle, 3 kilometres away. So, having a car is recommended and there is private parking for up to five cars.
