The grounds surround the barn for complete privacy, a magical copse of old holm oaks are perfect for hammock siestas and star gazing dinners in the warm, clear Extremadura nights. Lovely walks in all directions. FANTASTIC FOR BIRD WATCHING... an eagle owl is nesting in the woods, flocks of azure winged magpies, magical hoopoes plus the usual eagles, hawks and griffin vultures circling up in the crags. A path leads from the barn to the wonderful pool surrounded by beautiful shrubs and extensive views. The pool is shared with the cortijo of Finca al-manzil IF it is rented but it is in its own special place not belonging to either house, there is plenty of space and privacy for everyone and the barn has its own private terrace with loungers and shade. Pool opens on May 15. Located in Albalá, this cottage is in a rural area and in the mountains.
