Beneath the Beams

Beneath the Beams: Andalusia

Far off the beaten track, you'll find a rustic sanctuary sleeping on the rural hillside of La Tahá. Hidden behind the trees, here you can hike through the Granada countryside or ride into the nearby town of Pitres.

Drive eighty metres down a dirt road, where a whitewashed villa awaits. Not only does this home promise privacy, but it has heaps of Andalusian charm as well. The dark-wooded support beams and sunny colour scheme invites you into a quaint living space – the perfect spot for cosying up in front of the fireplace.

After you read a book outside, cook gazpacho in the kitchen and sit on tree stump stools at the breakfast bar. Then, take a dip in your salt-water plunge pool. At sunset, you'll want to fire up the barbecue and make use of the outdoor dining table. Away from the stresses of city life and light pollution, why not prepare a late-night picnic and stargaze in the garden?
