Notes on accommodation
Both properties have electric central heating; in addition, Casa Larga has a large open fireplace in the sitting room and Larguita has wood burners in the sitting rooms. The Casa Larga pool is 1.4 meters deep all over, with access via large curved steps; as the pool is not fenced, small children will need supervision while playing outside. The stairs in Larguita are original and steep and as such are not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. The properties share the main entrance from the street with parking nearby and good access to the house. Please note: Larguita does NOT have access to the Casa Larga pool (next door) unless the properties are rented together.
In order to safeguard our clients, we have registered both houses as Alojamientos Rurales with the Junto Andalucia in order to receive a licence to rent the properties. This process involved detailed inspection by local government officials with regard to suitability, health & safety, facilities and layout.
