Owner profile
About the owner
Hi we currently live in Spain with our 2 little boys, aged 6 and 4 years. We have had the cottages for 5 years and have spent many happy holidays here since the boys were little. It is ideal for toddlers and children as they have so much outside space and freedom to run around. Earlier this year we decided to make a more permanent move and are all enjoying the more relaxed outside lifestyle.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love the area of Periana / Lake Vinuela as the scenery is stunning, it is very peaceful and you get a taste of real Spain. It is away from the crowds of the coast but only half an hour to the beach, so easily accessible whenever you wish to go. You can easily explore the both the Costa del Sol or the many stunning scenic drives in the mountains and villages of Andalucia.
We enjoy the outside lifestyle and exploring many tapas bars in the hillside villages! as well as driving to the coast and relaxing on the beach.
Unique benefits of the property
The cottages are just a few minutes drive into the village of Periana and a few local restaurants and bars, so you can chill by the pool and then easily nip out for something to eat and drink. Children have a ball here, running around, swimming, climbing trees and generally playing outside. The pools are fenced (cottage 2) or gated (cottage 1) as safety by the pool is always an issue to us having little ones ourselves. The cottages also have a sandpit, swing and hammock to keep the children amused, cottage 2 has a slide and playhouse too.
