La Mejorana rustic charm with pool and olive trees

There are places where the outside world simply fades away. La Mejorana is one of them. A traditional Andalusian finca set among olive groves and surrounded by three hectares of peaceful countryside. Fully private and enclosed, it’s a place to slow down and enjoy the quiet rhythm of rural Andalusia. At the same time, its central location makes it an ideal base for exploring some of the region’s most beautiful destinations, with Granada, Córdoba and Málaga all within an hour. The space The house respects traditional Andalusian architecture while offering every modern comfort. It features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for relaxing together, and central heating throughout the house — including bathrooms and hallways — ensuring a comfortable stay even during the cooler months. The kitchen is fully equipped for up to 10 guests and the house includes three full bathrooms, one of them en suite. The property offers five bright bedrooms (three with double beds and two with single beds), all with built-in wardrobes and decorated with wooden furniture and handcrafted details that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With space for up to 10 guests, La Mejorana works equally well for families and groups, as well as for couples or small families looking to spend a few days — or even a longer stay — enjoying the peace of the Andalusian countryside. Guest access Outdoor spaces The outdoors are where La Mejorana truly becomes something special. The house sits within a fully private and enclosed three-hectare estate surrounded by olive and oak trees — a peaceful setting designed for relaxing and enjoying the Andalusian countryside. The property features a private saltwater pool surrounded by sun loungers and olive trees, a barbecue area with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, two pergolas perfect for long outdoor meals, and covered parking within the property. At night, the silence of the countryside and a star-filled sky with almost no light pollution create one of those moments that truly have to be seen to be believed. A great place to combine work and rest Many guests choose La Mejorana for longer stays or to combine holidays with remote work. The quiet surroundings, reliable WiFi and generous spaces make it easy to work comfortably during the day and enjoy the natural setting once the workday ends.

Food is an essential part of Andalusian culture, and many guests enjoy experiencing it without even leaving the house. We can also arrange, upon prior request and at an additional cost, a private dining experience at the house with a local chef, who prepares traditional Andalusian dishes directly at the property. The chef takes care of everything — cooking, serving and leaving the kitchen spotless afterwards — so guests can simply relax and enjoy a special evening at home. Many guests say this becomes one of the highlights of their stay. Access to the property is straightforward: motorway, national road and the final 5 minutes along a well-maintained rural track. The nearest airport is Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. For guests who would like to combine relaxation with some activity, the area offers plenty of options including hiking, horse riding, zip-line activities and the thermal baths of Alhama de Granada.
