Vacation Rental Description
Fuentecasa is a newly reformed detached bungalow set in the olive growing region of Andalucia.It is located in the village of Fuente del Conde close to the larger village of Iznajar in the south eastern corner of the province of Cordoba. Although it is in Cordoba, the provinces of Malaga and Granada are less than 5 kms away making it an ideal base for exploring all three provinces.
It is ideal for anyone wishing to combine relaxation with exploring the historical and natural sites of Inland Andalucia.
Fuente del Conde is close to the largest lake in Andalucia-Iznajar
It is within an EASY 5 minute walk from the village supermarket and bar/restaurant so buying fresh bread daily isn't a chore nor is popping into the bar for a beer or coffee.
No matter your level of Spanish, feel as one of the community with your Spanish neighbours.
Go back 50 years and feel this community spirit when children and property were safe.
Previous non Spanish speakers have had lessons on olive picking, visiting neighbour's animals and eating freshly picked crops in season.
Fuentecasa comprises of a large open planned living room /kitchen The double bedroom,twin bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room cater for sleeping arrangements.
Enjoy alfresco dining in the patio and watch the sun go down from the roof terrace.
Recent visitors have been pleasantly surprised with both the size and atmosphere.
Being newly reformed,efficient insulation has been a must (unlike my own house). The result of this is that fans can easily cope with the summer heat.Electric radiators,although not as romantic as an open fire nor as time consuming,cope with any chill of winter.
