Just 2.2km from the unpretentious, friendly whitewashed village of El Gastor, Casa Acojedora is a perfect holiday cottage from which to explore the charming local area. Its unique pool area benefits from wonderful views of the nearby peaks of El Algarín and Las Grajas, where a network of walking trails and an abundance of wildlife attract walkers and bird-watchers keen to soak up such spectacular surroundings. Dotted around the grounds are enticing areas of seating offering shaded spots in which to relax with a refreshing drink whilst admiring the varied vistas towards the pretty ‘pueblos blancos’ and the typical Andalucían landscape beyond. The compact, charmingly rustic interior has a comfortable cosy feel, ideal for a couple or small family group. Adorned with caringly collected traditional antiques and displaying typical beamed ceilings, both the living area and main bedroom benefit from patio doors that open out onto the terrace which runs along two sides of the property. From here, you can enjoy mesmerising views over the silver leafed olive groves to the terracotta rooftops of El Gastor. For those who wish to explore further afield, the historic town of Ronda with its famous gorge is just half an hour away by car whilst the many enchanting whitewashed villages that are dotted around the National Park of Sierra de Grazalema are within easy reach. Terraced grounds mean that young children may need some supervision. *As this is a protected area of natural beauty, barbecue bans will be enforced from early June and an electric 'plancha' will be provided for outdoor catering. Internet provision is via a satellite connection. null Pets - allowed
