An enchanting and spacious one bedroom self-catering cottage, completely self- contained with a private terrace with delightful views over the valley with tropical fruit orchards and vineyards. The very high beamed ceilings and hand made clay floor tiles create a warm atmosphere.
The cottage has been completely renovated inside and out in the Andalucian style, preserving the traditional features but including modern appliances. Situated at the edge of the beautiful but little known white village of Cútar, the cottage is accessed via a pretty patio in traditional patterned stonework with a large flowering cactus and tropical plants the perfect romantic break |
The living areas
The door of the cottage opens into an open-plan kitchen and living area with an attractive open fireplace in traditional brickwork. The high beamed ceilings help stabilize the summer and winter temperatures. The room has substantial quality furnishings which enhance the Moorish-Spanish feel of the space. There is a CD player and radio, CDs, books, local guides and board games. The kitchen is equipped to modern standards with a gas hob, fridge, microwave, toaster and electric kettle.
“The cottage is a marvel -- perfectly restored, achieving a level of comfortable rural chic but with all the modern conveniences…Sleeping late in the mornings and then preparing a breakfast of fresh local produce on the sunlit balcony to linger over on and on.I wish I was there now!” Joel R Brooklyn, NY
