Casa Lola - Rural Apartment with Private Pool in Cabo de Gata

Casa Lola is a self-contained rural apartment located in a traditional Almeria farmhouse in Los Albaricoques, within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. This accommodations are designed for those seeking tranquility, privacy, and an authentic experience, in direct contact with nature and very close to the sea.

It is part of a farmhouse complex consisting of three separate cottages, each with its own private outdoor space. The architecture and layout respect the original rural character of the place, where true luxury lies not in excess, but in silence, natural light, and time spent without haste.

Casa Lola sleeps up to 5 people and features a comfortable and functional layout:

1 bedroom with a bunk bed

Living area with a sofa bed, integrated with the dining area

Fully equipped kitchen, designed for vacation stays

Full bathroom

A cozy and well-proportioned space, ideal for couples, small families, or travelers looking for a rural apartment in Cabo de Gata with its own unique character.

Private outdoor area: pool, architecture, and landscape

The Casa Lola experience is best enjoyed in its private outdoor area, located right in front of the apartment and visible as soon as you arrive.

Here you’ll find its custom-built private pool, designed with simple lines that evoke the area’s traditional irrigation ponds, historically used to collect and store rainwater. A pool seamlessly integrated into the landscape, without any artificial embellishments, in keeping with the agricultural and austere character of Cabo de Gata.

The pool is flanked by a private terrace with sofas and lounge chairs, sheltered by wooden pergolas that provide shade and maintain an aesthetic that respects the surroundings. It is a space designed for relaxing, reading, sunbathing, or enjoying a peaceful meal outdoors.

From this area, the characteristic landscape of Los Albaricoques is clearly visible: volcanic terrain, farmland, and greenhouses that are part of the agricultural identity of this area of the natural park.

The vegetable garden: a simple and authentic experience

Within the farmhouse grounds, guests have access to a shared vegetable garden, tended in the traditional way. Depending on the season, guests can harvest tomatoes, peppers, or other fresh produce, perfect for preparing salads and simple dishes during the summer months.

This vegetable garden is not merely decorative; it is part of daily life at the farmhouse and reinforces the feeling of staying in an authentic rural setting, where simplicity is valued.

The cistern: tradition and way of life

The farmhouse retains its traditional cistern, an essential element of the area’s rural architecture. The water used in the house comes from this collection and storage system, just as it has historically in Cabo de Gata, where rain and its management have always set the pace of life in the countryside.

This detail is part of the experience of staying in an authentic farmhouse, connected to the customs and history of the place, and adds value for those seeking a unique stay, far from impersonal accommodations.

The water is treated and perfectly suitable for showers, cleaning, and general household use.

A real farmhouse, not a hotel

Casa Lola is a rural vacation rental, not a hotel. Upon arrival, guests receive a welcome gift with the essentials to start their stay, but daily consumables must be replenished by guests as needed.

One set of sheets and towels per person is included, intended for use inside the accommodation. For the pool, the beach, and outdoor furniture, we recommend bringing your own beach towels. If you prefer, we can provide sarongs, which are ideal for use on lounge chairs and outdoor sofas.

Common Areas of the Cortijo

In addition to the private space at Casa Lola, the cortijo has several common areas within the estate:

Guest vegetable garden

Parking area

Pathsand shared rural spaces, always respecting the privacy of each accommodation

Although the farmhouse is part of a traditional complex with neighbors, Casa Lola is located in a quiet and secluded area, ensuring peace and privacy.
