This compact stone cottage, one of six in a rural area of Andalusia, sleeps 2 adults and 1 baby and is in a wonderful spot for sun worshippers and active families alike. Near to fantastic walking territory, it’s not just a rural retreat but caters well for families with a pool, games, bikes and plenty more on site to hire, including donkeys for guided treks.
The residence itself is a classic rustic cottage, with wooden beams, a sunny terrace with views and plenty of typical tiles. It’s particularly suited to those with a small child who can sleep in a travel cot. Visit the pretty town of Alájar for food, attend local fiestas and festivals or explore the countryside nearby for a relaxing family break.
