From its hillside location, Cortijo El Chaparro enjoys the best views of Iznajar's stunning lake, its ancient castle and historic cathedral. Hidden among olive groves, the luxury farmhouse has been sensitively restored to retain its original features while also providing guests with all modern comforts. Shops, restaurants and a lakeside beach are just a short drive away. This is the place to come if you want rural charm combined with first-class facilities. The gated and walled 9 x 5 metre pool is perfect for families with children. The self-contained flat with its own patio is ideal for guests needing extra privacy. Adults can enjoy a drink at the poolside bar or relax on any of five terraces including the vine-shaded courtyard. The extensive gardens are stocked with peach, fig and pomegranate trees. The villa is located in the Subbetica National Park- a delight for wildlife enthusiasts. Spend the lazy afternoons watching flocks of Bee-Eaters or Hoopoes in the olive groves.
