Holiday villa near Iznate, Costa del Sol, Spain
Rural Accommodation with Private Pool
Secluded Location, Ideal for Total Relaxation
Sleeps 6/8 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
This secluded villa was an old finca which has been lovingly restored and extended to create a charming property in which to enjoy total relaxation in the Mediterranean sunshine. The absolute joy of this property is its seclusion and the simple outdoor lifestyle it provides. There is a delightful terraced garden and at the top level there are hammocks overlooking the white village of Iznate, and at night you can chill out under the moon and stars. By the pool there is a barbecue and 'outdoor kitchen' and if you wished you could prepare and eat all meals outside. At Casa de Cuesta Roman, you are in the heart of rural Spain, set amongst the vineyards of the muscatel grapes. You rarely pass cars en route to the finca, more often you have to give way to mules or goats. The sound of bird song is only interrupted by the chiming of the church bells in the nearby village, and the bells of the goats who sometimes are grazing on the hillside opposite.
