About our home

The 20 hectareas Cortijo is situated in the heart of the Sierra of Grazalema, with spectacular views; it used to be a Roman site, then a Nazari alqueria. The main house was rebuilt recently, respecting the traditional Andalousian architecture; it is very cozy and comfortable, with a large kitchen, spacious dining room and a livingroom with a great fireplace; decorated with lots of arts and craft details, rural objects from the region, large paintings and sculptures, modern and traditional furniture. It has all the commodities of the modern world (3 jacuzzies, hydro massage showers, central heating, tv, phone line, etc.) but with the feeling and energy of the country side; just 30 minutes walking to the village of Grazalema, considered as one of the most beautiful villages in South Spain, 20 minutes by car from Ronda and approximat. one hour from Marbella. The farm is an animal reservation, Iberian wild goats, deer, many species of birds ...
A perfect place to walk around the field, hiking and trekking, to breath the pure air of the Sierra and to be in contact with nature. Near the main house we have a natural spring, dating from the Roman times, 24 hrs spurting mineral water.
Grazalema is a village of 2000 people, an important place for rural tourism, very well preserved, nice architecture and plazas, churches and narrow streets, every single house has white walls and roofs with red tiles. It has many restaurants, bars, cafés, tea places, shops and an old factory still manufacturing high quality clothes made with pure wool.
