Historically, being once the village bakery, during conversion, the original millstone was set within one of the stone walls to keep a nod to the property's past. This traditional and typically Spanish Cortijo-style home, Casa Hiraeth, has been sympathetically renovated and expanded over the past few years, giving it all the modern conveniences one would expect. The professional interior decoration throughout creates the style and ambience of a home-from-home whilst complimenting the traditional Moorish architecture.
Casa Hiraeth is at the edge of a small village, which benefits from having a local shop (for essentials) and a bar / restaurant called Los Pajaritos, both within an easy stroll.
Being a traditional Cortijo, the house is built around a traditional inner courtyard, which gets the morning sun, making it the ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
The middle terrace features a Moroccan style covered seating area, ideal for secluded and shaded outdoor dining, and you can catch the last of the sun while you dine on the top terrace which is equipped with a relaxing outdoor lounge seating area with fireplace, kitchenette, BBQ and dining table with chairs .
All terraces are equipped for year-round use with outdoor lighting, fires, WiFi and power.
With multiple terraces on different levels each with uninterrupted views over the hills, you’ll never get tired of enjoying the glorious sunsets.
The variety of terraces allows you to experience the typical Spanish outdoor-living lifestyle.
Just off the inner courtyard is a stunning and completely private large swimming pool, measuring 6.5 x 4 metres, with a depth of 1.0 – 1.8 metres, making the shallow end perfect for a cooling dip. The pool is maintained by a saline/saltwater system (not chlorine), that guarantees perfect hygiene while being gentle on skin, and unlike chlorine systems, the water will not sting the eyes. You are also able to enjoy and make the most of the pool into the evening with integrated pool lights illuminating it, so the swimming doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down!
Moving indoors, there is a large open-plan kitchen-dinner, complimented by a snug/lounge area complete with wood burner for the cooler months and with stunning distant views of the undulating countryside and olive groves.
The house also benefits from a separate comfortable living room for relaxing and with its own wood burner for enjoying cosy winter evenings.
Upstairs there is the master bedroom with large ensuite bathroom, which overlooks the rolling hills and olive groves, and the two other bedrooms, one double and one twin, which both share a family shower room.
All bedrooms come equipped with air-conditioning for those warm summer nights or warming air for the cooler months.
Additional facilities include an office area with WiFi, PC & printer, which enables the ability to work remotely.
There is also a secure driveway and parking area sufficient for two vehicles.
Throughout Casa Hiraeth, traditional Andalucian characteristics are abundant, which add to its authentic and individual charm, along with those necessary modern conveniences, which we have all become accustomed to and creates a true home-from-home.
Please note:
We are currently ensuring our housekeeping and maintenance team have additional time to safely and thoroughly clean and prepare our property for our next guests, giving peace of mind during your stay.
