The Mountain Retreat

The Mountain Retreat: Andalusia

This beautifully restored 19th-century Andalusian farmhouse is an eco-friendly retreat that offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern luxury. It’s surrounded by hectares of private farmland where horses, pigs and sheep roam free. It feels like a step back in time with a traditional country kitchen and a cottage-like living room inside, but there’s also a modern kitchen for 21st-century cooking. Within the sprawling gardens, you’ll find plenty of places to dine and unwind with a view of the Andalucian hills and the swimming pool is naturally treated with salt water. For supplies (perhaps for a barbecue), the quaint mountain town of Alcalá del Valle is 3 kilometres away.

Home truths:
*There is livestock within the surrounding hectares so you may hear the occasional bleat of a sheep or whinny of a horse. Those bringing a dog should consider this.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*the closest village with a supermarket is Alcalá del Valle, 3 kilometres away. So, having a car is recommended and there is private parking for up to five cars.
