Owner profile
About the owner
My wife Frances & I have had a villa in Cortijo Grande since 1978, while we moved around the world following my career. Coming back each year to the valley, we have had plenty of time to grow to love this beautiful place.
When we came out to live here permanently in 2005, we bought the villa Bella Vista as a beautiful property to rent out while we continue to live in our villa just 5 minutes away across the valley. Since then, many guests have enjoyed holidays at the Bella Vista & some return for repeats - the best indication of a perfect holiday home.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We discovered this lovely location back in 1978 & fell in love with it. It is certainly one of the most beautiful areas in Andalucia. It is a green valley with many trees including olive, orange, lemon, fig etc. and the whole has the beautiful Sierra Cabrera mountains as the backdrop.
Also, in terms of easy access it is only 45 minutes drive from the nearest airport Almeria.
Unique benefits of the property
The villa overlooks the first fairway of the Golf Course & the popular Almazara bar/restaurant where everybody congregates is literally 3-4 minutes walk.
Because we are elevated above the road, the villa is very private and peaceful.
