"We have owned property in Andalucia since 2003, and have been holidaying in this part of Spain for many years. We decided that we wanted a more substantial property that offered peace and tranquillity in the Spanish hills, but was still close to a busy 'Spanish' town, and importantly gave us the scope chance to put our stamp on it. As soon as we arrived at the gates we instantly fell in love, and by the time we’d explored the estate, taken in the breath-taking views of the landscaped garden, the surrounding orchards and mountains, and discovered that there was an additional property (La Casita) that was situated on a lower level at the edge of the large 2-acre plot and virtually hidden from the main villa, we were hooked and knew that it would be the perfect family retreat in the stunning Andalusian countryside.
We made an offer later that day, and by early Jan ’17 we’d collected the keys and excitedly began planning the refurbishment. We modernized the main villa first (La Huerta Vieja, property ID 6819172), and completed work on 'La Casita' in September 2018 - and we now have 2 completely separate fenced-off properties that can be rented out independently or as 1 large property for large groups of up to 18 people.
'La Casita' was the original property that was the dwelling for the local farmers, and had not been touched for more than 50 years when we purchased it. The renovation took 12 months & we feel that we have created a modern, luxury open-plan villa that appeals to a wide audience, and we personally think that the best addition is the stunning sun deck with amazing views of the mountains and open countryside.
Our property management team look after the maintenance side of things all year round, as well as ensuring that the 2 acres of mature landscaped gardens with 100’s of trees, exotic flowers and plants stay in fantastic condition. The team is led by Roy Potter, who ensures that all our guests have an amazing time.”
