Casa dos Hermanos (House of the two Brothers) is a a traditional Andalucian Farmhouse, fully renovated but retaining many of the original features. Downstairs accommodation provides 1 double, & 2 twin bedrooms, lounge, house bathroom, fully fitted kitchen & dining room. There is a large private & secure courtyard area which can be used for sunbathing, safe childrens play & outside dining. Beyond the courtyard lies a private swimming pool (8m x 3m) surrounded by a fenced patio area with open hillside views. There is a further double bedroom on the second floor, which has a private stairway into the courtyard & can use the toilet & shower facilities located in the courtyard. The upstairs area provides basic but comfortable sleeping accommodation. We provide all bed linen & towels, but request that visitors bring their own swimming towels for use around the pool. There is garden furniture & sun loungers for the use of our guests & a BBQ which uses olive wood from our store to the front of the house.The farmhouse is set within it's own olive grove, but yet is within 5 minutes easy walking to the local village of Fuente del Conde which has a good restaurant & bar, as well as a local supermarket where most basic items can be obtained.
The Moorish town of Iznajar is just 6kms away, which has a castle & church dating back many centuries. This pretty town is set overlooking the large Lake of Andalucia, which is very picturesque & has its own sandy beach & beach bars. The location is ideal as a centre to visit the cultural centres of Cordoba, Seville & Granada, but with the coastal resorts of the Costa del Sol within 1 hour of easy driving, a change of scene can easily be enjoyed before returning to the peace & tranquility of Inland Andalucia. The main airports of Malaga & Granada are 55 kms away & there are various car rental firms that operate direct from the terminals & offer reasonable deals. We supply guests with driving directions for the nearest large supermarkets & a selection of good value restaurants that we have sampled for their convenience.
The area is on the borders of the Subetica National Parks, & the mountainous hillsides are studded with olive groves. Ther is plenty of scope for the guests who enjoy walking amidst beautiful scenery, & for the less energetic the views can be accessed by car on the many signposted tourist routes. Within short driving distances are golfcourses which are run on a pay & play basis, & to there is the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges nearby that host winter sporting facilities.
A stay at "Casa dos Hermanos" provides a relaxing insight into Spanish rural living, whilst being a central location to visit whatever favourite pastime you enjoy.
