About the owner
Mary and Peter Turner - Originally from Bonnie Scotland we moved to Priego de Cordoba in 2007 having purchased our property in 2006 and have been running El Paraiso Encontro as a holiday destination for 4 very successful seasons. Previously Pete worked permanent night shift and I worked the normal 9 - 5 and it became increasingly difficult to maintain any consistency in our lives. We were indeed the proverbial ships that pass in the night and it was our dream to gain some balance and tranquillity in our lives. Deciding finally on Priego de Cordoba as our adopted home has been the best decision we have ever made and running El Paraiso Encontro has allowed us to showcase some good old Scottish hospitality. You may say Pete and I have taken to it like ducks to water!
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We began our search for the perfect Spanish home in 2005 and visited many of the amazing cities and villages within the Andalucian Region. Our requirements were many but after viewing 100's of houses we fell in love with what was a small market garden with house and although requiring work it ticked all our boxes. Situated in the Subettica Sierra El Paraiso Encontro has all the benefits of being in the countryside yet is located 2mins by car and 10mins on foot to the town of Priego with its lively bars, restaurants and amenities. We are located almost central to the major cities of the region i.e. Cordoba, Granada, Antiquera etc. and white washed villages in this area are abundant. Lake Iznajar with it's fantastic beach is 40mins and after a days touring you can return to Paradise.
Unique benefits of the property
We specifically accommodate only 2 people here at El Paraiso Encontro. This allows our guests to have sole and exclusive use of the swimming pool, gardens, bbq, orchard, gym etc. We feel this also allows us to platform what real Scottish hospitality is like and enjoy to the full making our guests feel exactly what they are to us, (valued). Guests can also apportion their holiday as they wish i.e. relaxing, touring, private, sociable etc without feeling the need to rush for a sun bed, use of the pool etc. With life so hectic for so many we offer our guests peace, tranquility, privacy, a central base to discover Andalucia and complete exclusivity of El Paraiso Encontro. We are extremely proud of our property here in Spain and welcome everyone looking for a "Spanish Adventure"
