27 April - 1 May 2012

Set amidst its own vineyards, almond trees, fig trees and olive groves, this wonderful set of three recently renovated houses is situated 3000 feet above sea level on a south facing mountain slope.

The estate is secluded, totally unaffected by neighbours, with spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada, the Mediterranean and occasionally Africa.

This is the most beautiful time of year to visit Sierra Nevada as nature is in full bloom and the temperature is pleasant without being too hot.

The grounds have a large swimming pool, a full size tennis court and a boules pitch. This place is often used by painters for its exceptional beauty and the area is perfect for walks or just to sit and indulge in the tranquillity away from the daily hustle.
