Rural Country Cottage with Pool
Peaceful Location in the Grazalema National Park
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Gemita is one of those rare luxuriously appointed holiday finds that we always dream of. It nestles into the hillside of the Grazalema Natural Park. To the north are the mountains of the Grazalema Sierras. To the south are rolling hills and the beautiful historic town of Ronda. There are sheep and goats grazing close by and you will often come across their shepherd taking them home for milking.
The house is very private, fully enclosed, and not over looked in anyway but is still only a short distance from the main road to Sevilla and only ten minutes drive to Ronda.
Gemita has recently been fully renovated. Once part of a very large estate, which mainly grew sunflowers as a crop, and fields of these can still be seen, in season, in the surrounding area.
The interior of Gemita is pleasing to the eye with furniture made locally in the area (mainly pine) and touches of English soft furnishings.
Gemita is furnished to a very high standard with all the comforts of a modern home.

Further details
Gemita is within 10 minutes drive of the village of Montecorto, where shops, bars and restaurants can be found. Gemita is 20km from the beautiful town of Ronda. Some would say that Ronda is best seen at sunset when the Andalucian heat lifts from the town and the surrounding sierra turns from bleached lemon to yellow ochre. The town comes alive with restaurants, bars and cafes buzzing.
This wonderful town with its Moorish architecture, old palaces and cool gardens make for a very beautiful destination - the ideal place to enjoy more sophisticated Andalucian gastronomy, shop in elegant boutiques, admire the lovely ceramics and be amazed by the famous gorge – El Tajo.
The dramatic mountains and the villages of Grazalema, El Gastor, Setenil and Zahara de la Sierra (and many more) are situated in some of the most stunning settings of Andalucia. The cities of Granada, Seville, Cadiz and Gibraltar, together with the Mediterranean coast, are all in easy reach for a day trip. Enjoy breathtaking views of the beautiful countryside by driving, walking or horse riding.
The Spanish love Fiestas and celebrations. All summer long there are parties and each village, town and city has it’s own Feria. The celebrations usually start in the evening and continue throughout the night. The Feria of Ronda takes place around the first weekend of September and is known as the Goyesca and takes its name from Goya. There are many street parades with many people dressed in the traditional Goyescan costumes. The Corrida (bullfights) is the centrepiece to this famous Andalucian Feria and takes place in the oldest bullring in Spain. It is impossible not to enjoy yourself when amongst this weeklong festival of celebration.
