About this property

"El Cortijillo" -Pure nature 4km from the sea

Self-sufficient sustainable country house in the heart of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. 4km from San José, seaside village with shops, restaurants and famous virgin beaches: Genoveses, Mónsul ... In the lower part of the house there is a semi-detached studio apartment for couples with independent spaces and privacy for all guests except the parking area.
Photovoltaic energy, gas cooker and solar water heaters. Hairdryers can only be used during sunlight hours. There is fine Wi-Fi but poor phone coverage. The last section of access is by a dirt road. Disconnection, sunbathing and starry nights.

"El Cortijillo" is a bright Mediterranean-style country house in a protected environment where there is no building, nor electricity or water supply. It works with solar panels and a private water tank. There are fans for the summer and a fireplace-wood stoves for the winter. Nature, simplicity and tranquility near the sea (5 'by car).
4km from San José, a coastal town with shops and restaurants, virgin beaches, volcanic coves, diving, hiking, kayaking ... There are 50km of virgin coastline, away from the crowds, with a lucky warm and sunny climate all year round.

Other highlights
-There is an attached studio with whose guests the parking area is shared.
- "El Cortijillo" works with solar panels so high power electrical appliances such as irons cannot be used.
-Phone coverage is bad but the Wi-Fi network works without problems.
-The last access section is a dirt road (300m) suitable for all normal cars, but it can give difficulties to very low sports cars.

How to get around the area
A car is necessary to get to the "Cortijillo" and access the nearby beaches and towns of the Natural Park because there is no public transport in this area. The closest town is 1km away and the closest beach 4km.
But everything is very close to a few minutes by car: San José, the most famous virgin beaches (Genoveses, Mónsul ...) and secret coves and paths for lovers of nature in its purest form.

"La Fuentecilla" is a preserved area within the Natural Park, a dozen country houses with neighbors from all over the world who love the tranquility and the "wild" spirit of this unspoiled area.
Very close to the coast, 4km, between the town of San José and the wild beach of Los Escullos.
Fine sand beaches and volcanic coves with crystal clear waters.
Very close to the most charming towns in the Natural Park: La Isleta, Rodalquilar, Las Negras ... 2 hours driving from Granada, Malaga and Murcia cities. Just 30km from Almería city and its international airport.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
