As you walk past the pool onto the main patio, take in those breathtaking views. The air is clear, the silence is golden, the peace and tranquillity is what you deserve. Every part of this property holds a wonderful view of this mountainous region, yet facilities are only 10 minutes drive away.
Enter the house through the arches and into the rustic Kitchen, typically Spanish with gas hob, kettle, toaster all the facilities to make this kitchen your own. There is a large pine table in the centre and also a log fire at the end. In the Welsh dresser there are lots of games for all ages. Through the kitchen to the left is the dining room leading to the lounge with patio doors overlooking the valley below. In the dining room is a bookcase with a full choice of books.
Between the Dining room and the kitchen is the staircase leading to 2 double bedrooms – 1 with en suite. Both bedrooms open out onto a sun terrace again magnificent views and on a clear day you can see the sea.

Back outside of the kitchen and under the arches is the fly free zone for alfresco dining. With tables and chairs and also a hammock for relaxing with a glass of wine. Leave the Arches and pass the BBQ area and turn left for the Cave.
The Cave. Many Andalucians live in caves - If you have ever wanted to experience a cave dwelling this is your opportunity. This unique Cave Dwelling is most tastefully decorated.

And then just off the lounge is the twin bedroom. At the end of the cave is a very large bathroom/shower room.
