|

Once the home of the grandparents, Larguita shares with Casa Larga the entrance hall from the street. The house is self-contained with its own private walled courtyard and roof terrace. Ground Floor: Larguita is an intriguing and charming house with original features and decor. There are 2 sitting rooms joined by a modern kitchen that links both ends of the house. The external courtyard has large double doors that lead to the garden and huerto of Casa Larga should the 2 properties be rented as one unit. The staircases are original and consequently, they are steep and may be unsuitable for people with restricted mobility. First Floor: Larguita retains the original layout with the 2 main bedrooms each having their own staircases and shower rooms. The bunk bedroom is accessed from landing of the front bedroom and shares a shower room. Please note: Larguita does NOT have access to the Casa Larga pool (next door) unless the 2 houses are rented together. |

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.

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.
