On the top rooftop terrace there is a 4 person Jacuzzi for all guests to share. We have not seen the need to have a schedule for its use as guests seem to sort this amongst themselves but we do ask that you only spend a maximum of 30 minutes in it to be fair to all. Other things to note The general area is very peaceful and offers guests not only a great location to relax and unwind. As we in the farming countryside there might on occasion be farm machinery noise and the odd barking dog. The definition of a RAMBLA is a watercourse. This means that when the rain falls on the mountains in certain places for long enough the flood waters will be carried away along the ramblas to the sea, yes this means ours does flood and run like a river occasional, (maybe once a year) A wonderful and unusual sight to see! When it's not flooded (which is most of the time) it's a wonderful place to walk along and goes on for miles. You will only get disturbed by the occasion car, tractor or barking dog. For Guests wanting to be more active we are perfectly positioned for them to enjoy mountain or road cycling and hiking. Just 1.7Km up the rambla is Bar Angelita, run by Marilin and her family, they offer a warm welcome, ice cold beers & wines and great food. The towns of Albox and Oria are only 10/15 minutes drive away and offer numerous supermarkets, restaurants, bars and cafes and much more. We are approximately 45 minutes drive to the beautiful beaches of Villaricos, Vera, Garrucha and Mojacar which offer a livelier pace of life as many seaside resorts do.
