About this property

Unique Historic Secluded Farmhouse With Private Pool And Spectacular Views

El Cortijo de Los Siete Olivos. A unique 150 year old farmhouse, restored to retain its original character, with beautiful panoramic views over olive groves and across the valley to the Parapanda mountain. The whitewashed house with low-beamed ceilings, nestles on a hillside under dark holm oak trees. Although fully modernised it avoids the sterility that can characterise recently renovated buildings, it has a warm ambiance in which old -style interior fittings seem to merge organically with the walls and floor in traditional Andalucian fashion. The accommodation consists of the farmhouse and a little adjoining house, each with its own secluded terrace. There is a charming pool set in natural stone, and a 'wild' garden with pomegranate, almond and olive trees. The small town of Montefrio is only 5 min drive from the house where you can find all you need for your stay, and the magnificent city of Granada only 45km away.

Perfectly authentic country experience
This house ticks all the boxes for those wanting to live life away from it all in a comfortably provided for yet truly rustic home. Margaret could not have been more attentive and made our stay so easy and memorable. The area is full of rich visual and cultural experiences. A holiday of a lifetime.

Gorgeous views
We had a lovely (and hot!) two weeks at the farmhouse. The property is old and rustic but clean and the view from the terrace is breathtaking! The pool was a welcome relief from the boiling heat and Gerardo did a great job keeping it clean over the two weeks. Would highly recommend a stay here especially if you want to chill out and relax. The only (very minor!) downside was the distance from the nearest town as it meant a car ride to go out for dinner or do a food shop. However the owner did make me aware of this when I queried during the booking process and to be honest you wouldn’t get the amazing views if located in the centre of a town. Highly recommend!

Fabulous family holiday in a rustic farmhouse.
Just returned from 2 weeks in this fabulous property, it was everything we wanted and more! Rustic and rural with a fabulous terrace...the views are wonderful and the pool is great for a cooling dip. The weather was hot and sunny and we ate all of our meals outside. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and had everything we could possibly need. There's lots of information in the house about exploring the local area which we found very useful. Numerous walks start from the house if you don't want to drive. Would highly recommend this property if you like relaxed and rustic with a great location.

Rustic Charm
We spent two weeks here in the hot sun of July. The pool was well used to cool us down. The place is idyllic and the owner has thought of everything in the kitchen. The views are wonderful and the town and area are unspoilt by tourism. The sunbeds had seen better days and the beds were lumpy (we got used to them) but if you can live with that the Cortijo is full of charm, very rustic and the history of the building and it’s owners/occupiers is very interesting. The owner, Margaret, was extremely helpful and understanding. We all fell in love with El Cortijo de los Siete Olivos. We visited the Dolmans in an area run by a crazy lady, passionate about their safe-keeping. The Alhambra palace is also a must see.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Cook

Host profile image
Recently retired, we like to spend as much time as we can at El Cortijo de Los Siete Olivos. As city dwellers we love the beauty and slower pace of life that Montefrio offers us. Seven grandchildren, living variously between Edinburgh and Oxford keep us rooted in the UK.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to experience life in traditional Spain, so chose to buy in Montefrio as it offered us a country area within easy access of the coast and a major city. We feel incredibly lucky that we chanced upon this little town as its beauty never fails to delight us every time we return. The local area offers so much in terms of history, walking and bird watching, and with the proximity to Granada, access to restaurants, shops, city life in general and of the course the wonderful Alhambra Palace.
For families with children, there are many activities to enjoy, the Aquaola Water Park and the amazing Science Park in Granada, and watching flamingos. Locally in Montefrio horse riding and cycling are available.

What makes this property unique

Our 150 year old farmhouse was restored about twenty five years ago using traditional methods and materials. White uneven lime-washed walls and birchwood beams and the local brightly coloured Alpujarran fabrics used throughout the house reflect its traditional past, whilst offering comfortable modern convenience.
We enjoy beautiful views of the Parapanda mountain across the valley from all the terraces around the house, and starry nights are quite magical.
The approach to the house is along one of the many pale dusty tracks that meander over these hillsides, lined with almond trees, through groves of Hojiblanca and Picual olives. Although only five minutes from town by car you feel you are in a different world.
