Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Treat your guests to a magical getaway in the stunning countryside of Andalusia. With plenty of space both inside and out, this marvellous home invites you to kick back and relax in style. The villa takes inspiration from classic hunting lodges and Spanish fincas – think terracotta tiles and armchairs upholstered with cowhide. You'll love admiring the impressive art collection, combining modern works with hand-crafted pieces. And, the outside space is just as fabulous, with epic views across the rugged landscapes. Make a splash in the glittering swimming pool, then dry off on the day bed with your holiday read. Then, come evening, fire up the outdoor oven and prepare a delicious alfresco feast to share with your guests – don't forget a bottle of Rioja. From here you can lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore the Sierra de Tejeda, the nearby mountain range. There are several rural villages to discover too – pretty Canillas de Aceituno is roughly fifteen minutes away by car. And, if you fancy a day by the beach, you can drive down to the sandy shorelines of the Costa Del Sol in around forty minutes.
