Casa del Legionario is a one bedroom village house with full bathroom and balcony leading from the bedroom. Downstairs there is the sitting room, kitchen, shower room and a shaded Mediterranean style patio. There are steps leading up to the sunny roof terrace which has wonderful views over the surrounding mountains. The casa is situated at the top of the village of Ardales just under the huge rock where the ruins of a Medieval castle can be visited. It is an ideal spot whether you want to relax and unwind in the beautiful Spanish countryside or prefer a more active holiday. Ideal base for touring, walking, biking, climbing, bird watching etc, etc.
Because the village is set into the side of a mountain some of the streets can be very steep and this accommodation is therefore not suitable for people with walking difficulties. In the casa children would have to be supervised on the balcony and roof terrace.
