Further details
Nearby village of Arriate provides banks, small supermarkets and other shopping facilities, restaurant and splendid tapas bars. Ronda, just 8km away, has both beauty and history. An inspiration to many, it is one of the most visited towns in Andalucía. The Spanish/Dutch owners, Francisco and Lies, live just 100 metres away, but privacy is guaranteed. Francisco is a native of Ronda and knows the countryside and the Serrania very well. Lies came from Holland in 1995, and three years later they had their son, Santiago. The family try to live as self-sufficiently as possible. Francisco is an organic farmer and they have an organic vegetable garden, while Lies sells their produce and homemade jams to hotels and on local markets. Directly from home there is a lot of good walking along unpaved roads or further off the beaten track. And for those who prefer the peace and quiet, there is a wide range of books to pick from the shelves. Or simply enjoy the silence and the (many) birds!
