The Cottage is the perfect winter retreat, cosy, comfortable and beautifully appointed and equipped. Winter in Andalucia is the ideal time to really get away from it all and enjoy peace, tranquility and unspoilt nature. The surrounding countryside is wonderful walking country and at this time of year it is pleasant to explore the local towns and the white hilltop villages of the Axarquia.
Guests can explore the 3 acres of grounds, with huge old olive and holm oak trees, lots of terraces at different levels, all with different views and comfortable outdoor seating, and mature gardens shaded with grapevines and scented climbers, jasmine, hibiscus and bougainvillea. Abundant wildflowers, butterflies and birdlife. Your own private paradise!
Golf
There are numerous local golf courses within half an hours drive on the coast. The Breviera golf course is an 18 hole course only 25 mins drive from the house.
Skiing
Skiing is available during the winter months at Granada's Sierra Nevada, an hour and a half's drive.
Accommodation
The decor is Moorish style with terracotta roof tiles and shuttered wooden doors and windows. The private driveway leads to a large open terrace with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, Lake Vinuela and the mediterranean. A long terracotta tiled terrace runs along the front of the house, partly shaded by a grapevine.
The open plan kitchen-diner/living room is very spacious with polished terracotta floors, exposed beams and whitewashed walls. In one corner are a pretty ceramic wood burning stove and a Moroccan sofa with masses of cushions for luxurious siestas. The kitchen is equipped with oven and hob, fridge freezer, toaster and kettle and plenty of storage space.
There are lots of books catering for all tastes and ages. Also TV and DVD, a large collection of films and a stereo with jazz, folk, soul and classical CDs, not to mention Spanish guitar and flamenco!
Both bedrooms are cosy and comfortable, with good sized beds and warm goose down duvets. There are wall mounted or portable radiators in every room.
