We all love stumbling across an authentic corner of the world or a little-known, special place to stay - somewhere that can offer a unique space to appreciate life, explore unspoilt nature and spend relaxed time with our families and friends. Set at the foot of the historic hill-top town of Archidona, is a traditional andalucian cortijo (farmhouse) set in the grounds of a 300-acre working olive estate. Part of this rural spread has been renovated to provide an atmospheric self-contained venue with 8 en-suite twin bedrooms, a large refectory-style dining room, kitchen, huge, yet comfortable lounge, downstairs cloakroom, typical andalucian courtyard and swimming pool. There is a further 50ft room which looks out onto the inner courtyard and is ideal as a formal or informal on-site workshop space for professional groups. Although the property has been renovated, the style of the decor is authentically rustic with many original structural features and farming implements used as decorative items. The furniture is eclectic and functional. Roaming through the undulating 300 acres, you will encounter bubbling streams, an array of local wildlife and many shaded and secluded havens.
