This refurbished stone cottage, one of six in a rural area of Andalusia, sleeps 2 adults and 2 children 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 painted tiles. With a sunny terrace made for outdoor eating plus a spiral staircase leading to the kids room, it’s got plenty of character. Visit the pretty town of Alájar for food, attend local fiestas and festivals or explore the countryside nearby for a relaxing break.

Molinos Río Alájar is a gorgeous traditional Andalucían Finca in a beautiful rural setting. Our casita was really well equipped and surrounded by gardens and wonderful scented trees. We travelled with my children, 2 and 5, and we loved the outdoor space and lifestyle. Great country walks, donkey rides, swimming pool, tennis, and the beautiful little village of Alájar which was a 15 min walk. Perfect for disconnecting from city life. Peter and Monica were amazing hosts, always happy to help us with everything we needed.

Alájar, Andalusia

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.
