Notes on accommodation
Although the area in front of the house and around the pool is bordered by balustrade as protection from the steep incline between terraces, parents will still have to remain diligent of young children’s enthusiasm for adventure!
The same can be said for the elevated terraced area. Although fenced off it isn’t an ideal play area for young children. Wheelchair users will find ease of access in and around the ground floor of the property and surrounding terraced area.
For your comfort there are two large fans provided for use in the summer months and two electric radiators for use in the evenings during the cooler months.
In view of the remote location of the Villa, guests will be met in Almunecar on arrival and escorted to the property. We regret that we cannot accept pets in the property.
Accessibility
As already mentioned a car is essential to fully enjoy your stay. The terraced areas are flat but there are steep slopes between the terraces. Mobile phone signals are good.
Outside
The design of the house allows for enjoyment of both the summer and winter periods Bedrooms remain cool during the summer period as they are exposed to the least amount of direct sunlight. During winter months the large wood burning stove can warm the house quickly. There are also two electric radiators which can be moved from room to room. There are large terraced areas around the pool, together with the elevated terraced area. These are ideal for sun bathing, alfresco dining, entertaining and reading. The pool is for your exclusive use and is cleaned/maintained frequently.
