About this property

Traditional Mountain Village House, Private Pool, WiFi and Extensive Views

Historically, being once the village bakery, during conversion, the original millstone was set within one of the stone walls to keep a nod to the property's past. This traditional and typically Spanish Cortijo-style home, Casa Hiraeth, has been sympathetically renovated and expanded over the past few years, giving it all the modern conveniences one would expect. The professional interior decoration throughout creates the style and ambience of a home-from-home whilst complimenting the traditional Moorish architecture.

Casa Hiraeth is built around a traditional inner courtyard, which gets the morning sun, making it the ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
The middle terrace features a Moroccan style covered seating area, ideal for secluded and shaded outdoor dining, and you can catch the last of the sun while you dine on the top terrace which is equipped with a relaxing outdoor lounge seating area with fireplace, kitchenette, BBQ and dining table with chairs .
All terraces are equipped for year-round use with outdoor lighting, fires, WiFi and power.

With multiple terraces on different levels each with uninterrupted views over the hills, you’ll never get tired of enjoying the glorious sunsets.
The variety of terraces allows you to experience the typical Spanish outdoor-living lifestyle.

Just off the inner courtyard is a stunning and completely private large swimming pool, measuring 6.5 x 4 metres, with a depth of 1.0 – 1.8 metres, making the shallow end perfect for a cooling dip. The pool is maintained by a saline/saltwater system (not chlorine), that guarantees perfect hygiene while being gentle on skin, and unlike chlorine systems, the water will not sting the eyes. You are also able to enjoy and make the most of the pool into the evening with integrated pool lights illuminating it, so the swimming doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down!

Moving indoors, there is a large open-plan kitchen-dinner, complimented by a snug/lounge area complete with wood burner for the cooler months and with stunning distant views of the undulating countryside and olive groves.
The house also benefits from a separate comfortable living room for relaxing and with its own wood burner for enjoying cosy winter evenings.
Upstairs there is the master bedroom with large ensuite bathroom, which overlooks the rolling hills and olive groves, and the two other bedrooms, one double and one twin, which both share a family shower room.
All bedrooms come equipped with air-conditioning for those warm summer nights or warming air for the cooler months.

Additional facilities include an office area with WiFi, PC & printer, which enables the ability to work remotely.
There is also a secure driveway and parking area sufficient for two vehicles.

Throughout Casa Hiraeth, traditional Andalucian characteristics are abundant, which add to its authentic and individual charm, along with those necessary modern conveniences, which we have all become accustomed to and creates a true home-from-home.

Wonderful house with great attention to detail
This house is wonderful for up to 6 adults . We were 2 in their 50’s and 4 early 20’s. It is beautifully furnished , with Rachael’s style throughout . We loved both of the terraces , the mid terrace is perfect for breakfast , lunch and an afternoon chill . The upper terrace is well equipped with a small kitchen and bbq , and another seating areas with outside sofas and a large dining table . Kimberly the local property support couldn’t have been more helpful , always at the end of WhatsApp and lots of suggestions locally . She also arranged for some Spanish ladies to cook Paella for us which was a treat . The area is stunning , with incredible sunsets , lots of restaurants recommended locally if a very high standard . My only caveat is if you have very little children , or elderly , the steps up to the terraces are quite steep and rugged . We would definitely return

Relaxing and Peaceful stay
This property was perfect for a getaway from a busy city. Set amongst the hills of southern Spain, the well designed property was spacious, clean, thoughtfully fitted with every thing you might need to cook and dine. Loved all the eating spaces, amazing pool, awesome artwork. Host was very impressive; organised everything very well and managed to sort some amazing spanish catering for a night by some local chefs - delicious. Recommend for some quality down time with family, creating memories I will cheerish. Many thanks.

A Beautiful Home
We had a wonderful stay in this truly beautiful home. With little else planned for our stay other than time in the pool, eating, relaxing and playing some games with our young family this was the perfect accomodation for us. We couldn't have asked for more.

Tranquil oasis
We had a great stay at this beautiful and tastefully decorated casa. For couple of weeks we enjoyed the various indoor and outdoor areas in this charming house with our two children. Some days we just chose to stay in the house all day, enjoying the pool with its cooling water, while other days we used it as a base to visit other locations in the area such as Iznajar, Granada, Ronda and Seville. The house offers you this versatility because of its location and because it’s fully equipped with what you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a tv with many English speaking channels and videos which was good for the kids. In the bedrooms there is an efficient AC which helped to cope with the extra hot nights. The showers in three bathrooms are great. There is a small shop 2 minutes walking distance with the very basic groceries but we found best to drive the 25min to the nearest supermarket. There is not much happening in the village but that’s what we needed, some peace and tranquility to get away from the hussle and bustle of living in a large city. The communication was top notch from the very start, both from Rachel and Kimberley, making us feel reassured. The few minor issues raised with them were dealt with promptly and efficiently which is a sign of great customer service. We highly recommend staying here.

Secluded, peaceful.
Lovely property in the hills. Everything you need for a relaxing stay away from it all. Very clean. Lovely pool. Very well equipped. Lots of indoor and outdoor space including various outdoor sitting areas and lovely BBQ area. Large supermarket is about 25mins drive away. There isn't a lot close-by certainly not within walking distance. Although small local shop has essentials and fresh bread. If you want a peaceful hideaway then this property is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Rachael

Host profile image
Being mostly based in the UK, however as Rachael is an Interior Designer, her clients could be anywhere in the world, but are mainly UK and European based. As her work can be computer based, she often finds time to escape the hustle and bustle of city living and get away to their wonderful holiday home retreat, and is still able to work from the house office area. We also thoroughly enjoy the activities available in the surrounding area, which includes cycling, strolling through olive groves, kayaking on Lake Iznajar, and even skiing in the Sierra Nevada’s mountains during winter months, not to mention the many local festivals and events throughout the year.

Why they chose this property

Set within the undulating countryside with views of olive groves and close to the Moorish town of Iznajar with its stunning lake, beach, beach bar with restaurant, lake tours and water sports facilities. Being centrally located, I enjoy day trips visiting the historical and cultural cities of Cordoba, Granada, Seville, Malaga and the Costa del Sol; and with fast rail links, even trips to Madrid are possible! I thoroughly enjoy the local activities, strolling through the olive groves and even skiing in the Sierra Nevada National Park and mountain range during winter, not to mention the many local festivals and events throughout the year.

What makes this property unique

Being a traditional Spanish Cortijo style house, it is built on the hillside, so has a variety of terraces with views of the rolling hills, perfect for a relaxing drink and watching the fabulous sunsets. My favourite spot is the top terrace in the early morning sun with a cup of tea enjoying the glorious views. There is also a private internal courtyard, ideal for alfresco breakfasts. Family breakfasts can also be enjoyed in the large open plan kitchen-diner overlooking the olive groves, and with the shuttered windows wide open so benefiting from the cooling breeze. The stunning large swimming pool, which is very private, is perfect for a cooling dip. The swimming pool also benefits from being able to be illuminated in the evenings, so we also enjoy midnight swims!
