Vacation Rental Description
|
|
A beautiful 3 storey house set in its own grounds within a National Park, it rests on a hillside surrounded by ancient olive trees in an acre & a quarter of land. It is child friendly with a 50 square meter fenced pool supplied by spring water from its own source, with bbq and alfresco dining area. Ideally suited for a large family or 2 families with children. The pool can be heated in cooler weather (at additional cost). Maid service available upon request at small additional cost.
Nearby local towns and villages offer a chance to experience real spain away from hoards of tourists. There are a wide variety of typical Spanish tapas bars and restaurants. (Rute 1.5 miles).
Casa Ava is situated just inside the southern boundaries of the 'Parque naturel de la Sierra Subbetica'. It lies off a small country road between Iznajar and Rute on the shores of a large man made lake the Embalse de Iznajar.
Iznajar is a beautiful hilltop town, overlooking a magnificent lake. The lake is not unlike a Scottish loch, particularly in the early morning mist, although this one is surrounded by hills clad with olive groves. There is a beach where you can swim and sail, and good fishing in the waters.
In the summer temperatures climb to the high 30s (celcius) but is rarely uncomfortably humid with air conditioning in three out of the five bedrooms. Winter months are usually dry with chilly nights, hence log fire, heated pool (at an additional cost) and central heating!
Rute, famous for Anis is just 1.5 miles from Casa Ava.
Iznajar lake only 5 minutes away.
The highlight of the Iznajar calendar is La Feria Real (in September) in honour of the patron saint La Virgen de la Piedad. It involves a candlelight procession through the town.
In Rute, mid July marks the festival of the Virgen del Carmen (patron saint of sailors). Every Saturday in July and August from midnight until 5 am is the Musica Aurora celebrating by singing in the streets beginning by the Church up from the high street.
The ancient town of Cordoba is one of the many jewels of Andalucia. It comes to life at night with nightclubs, Flamenco, tapas, many restaurants and bars and is a must during one of the many Spanish festivals. This city remains unspoilt and is a popular destination for the Spanish. All this and only one hour from Casa Ava.
The house is equidistant from both Malaga and Granada airports - taking around one hour to drive on very good roads. Malaga is a much larger airport so has more frequent flights but flights into Granada tend to be cheaper.
