Savour nature and quiet the mind! Thanks to its location in the Sierra Crestellina Natural park, this cottage is a wonderful sanctuary from everyday stress. The landscape is stunning and living here in your own little paradise so close to nature is a real and hard to find- treat. Yet, if you wish to spend a day at the beach or play at one of the many golf courses in the area, you’re only a short drive away from all the amenities the coast has to offer. Location and outside area In 1989, the Sierra Crestellina (“Crested Range”) was officially granted the Protected Natural Site status- it’s Paraje Natural. This traditional, 100 year-old-stone cottage is located in the middle of all this beauty and used to be the home of a farming family. It’s located just north of Casares (3 km) - a very Andalucian picturesque village and a true labyrinth of whitewashed houses, small streets, alleys and little squares. Casares has many shops, good restaurants and tapas-bars. Travelling north from Casares you may drive to the ancient town of Ronda with its impressive gorge or for a longer trip the beautiful, legendary city of Seville. There are many other sightseeing options just a day trip away too. For those who like to walk, there are many possibilities with varying difficulties. There are several paths you can follow, but don’t miss the path to the top of the Sierra Crestellina- the views are ...

For those with a romance on the mind! Set in the natural park “Paraje Natural de Sierra Bermeja” this cottage is a haven of quietness encircled by countryside, yet only 5 minutes’ drive from the whitewashed village of Casares (3 km) and 25 minutes’ drive from the bustling towns, beaches and golf courses of the Costa. Tastefully furnished and decorated throughout, this house is especially recommended for a couple that wants to be “away from it all” and recharge batteries! Location and outside area The Sierra Crestellina (“Crested Range”) was granted Protected Natural Site status in 1989 and is located north of Casares- a typical pretty whitewashed Andalucian village. It is noted for its karst-like geographical formations: medium-height mountains with an uneven surface, hence the name. Visitors can enjoy many splendid walks in the area taking in the spectacular scenery which include views across the Straits of Gibraltar to N.Africa on some route. The walks range in difficulty from casual strolls to hikes depending on the route’s elevation. The area is a bird lovers paradise and many varieties of birds can be can be spotted. Vultures and eagles can be seen from the los Buitres (“the Vultures”) viewpoint. You may also get a glimpse of a deer, an ibex or a wild boar. The village of Casares is one of the most typical villages in Andalucia, a labyrinth of small streets and little squa...

The owners live in the main house and the other two houses (the casita and adjacent finca) are available to guests.
