One of six stone cottages in a rural area of Andalusia, this residence sleeps 4 and is a wonderful spot for sun worshippers and 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, the largest of the six available, with wooden beams, a sunny terrace with views and plenty of typical tiles. Visit the pretty town of Alájar for food, attend local fiestas and festivals or explore the countryside nearby for a relaxing family break.

Very tranquil, relaxing environment…definitely off the beaten path. The hosts were so nice and accommodating. We loved the donkey ride with Jose Maria!

Whitewashed cottages and mountain views

This pretty whitewashed village is one of the jewels in the Sierra de Aracena natural park, the largest park in Andalusia and is inland and in the mountains. It’s a great foodie spot, with restaurants and bars serving up the best of Andalusian cuisine.
