This property ticked all the boxes for us. It is in deep rural Spain, far away from the densely packed beaches and throbbing music of the coastal towns, but still close enough to shops, restaurants, culture when you need it. Mike and Michelle have transformed a traditional Spanish farmhouse into a place where you can relax privately in a very agreeable way. The décor is simple but interspersed with interesting art and furniture. Two comfortable double bedrooms each with aircon and ensuite shower rooms, a good sized and well equipped lounge/kitchen/diner were all very nice, but we spent most of our time around the lovely pool! From the poolside you can look into the valley and spend hours just watching the changing light and shadows, the progress of the goat herds or the huge birds of prey (short-toed eagles Mike?). All the rural noises are distant and never intrude, in fact the tinkling of the goat bells is really soporific so find your sunny or shady spot and doze or read a good book until the next bbq or a trip to Paco's restaurant in Pastelero! Of course you could make your own noise and be active, but if you want to chill then this is a small slice of heaven. Mike and Michelle have thought of pretty much everything to make your stay enjoyable, and they are wonderful hosts - never intruding but always ready to advise on trips, places to shop, eat or solving all your problems. Thankyou for making our stay so enjoyable. We'll be back for a longer stay!
