Our delightful 2 bedroom cottage, called 'Casa Tio Agustin', after one of its' original residents, many years ago, has a super modern kitchen, leading through an archway to a dual aspect dining room, with views across the 'rambla'. The large lounge with open plan staircase, has access to the rear covered patio barbecue area. Upstairs there are 2 large double bedrooms, one with double doors leading on to a terrace with stunning views over the mountains. The modern bathroom is situated between the two bedrooms. Most rooms contain the original beams. Lying on a reclining sunbed on the south facing marble 'beach' by the 10 x 5 metre pool, you will have the most wonderful view of the Sierra Cabrera mountains over the olive and almond groves. Cariatiz is a valley completely surrounded by mountains consisting of four small hamlets and many thousands of olive and almond trees - indeed in January and February the almond blossom is absolutely breathtaking!

About the owner
We have lived in Spain for 23 years with our two children. We are now retired and our children have left home and are now working here in Spain. We bought our home here in Cariatiz as a total ruin and have spent the last few years restoring it to its current high standard. We enjoy walking in the surrounding hills, eating out with friends and visiting other areas of Spain. And of course we have the best climate in Europe in this area - who could ask for more?
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a guest house in this location
We wanted a project and could not resist the location of the, then, ruin with its 360 degree views and tranquil position. We set to work and two years later ended up with our dream house. The beach is only twenty minutes away and we feel that we have the best of both worlds - country and coast.
