Holiday home in Grazalema

Accommodation:
Beautiful house, recently restored, in one of the most beautiful valleys of the Sierra de Cádiz: La Ribera del Gaidovar, 4km from the village of Grazalema.

It is designed to enjoy the immense nature that surrounds it with large windows and doors opening onto the patio and porch and is set in extensive grounds with olive trees and sheep, boarded by the river Gaidovar.

Outside, there is a patio facing the river, with several flower beds and aromatic plants where you can enjoy views of the surrounding countryside. This is connected to the second patio, with a porch and a large table for outdoor dining. It has a fountain made with an old millstone and access to the private parking area.

We have installed a small pool 3m x 3m x 1.1m to cool off during the summer months, it offers spectacular views of the valley and is available from 15th May until 30 th September

On the ground floor, a large open space has been created, where you will find a practical kitchen with all the utensils and high quality appliances, the dining area and two living rooms facing east and west. And a downstairs washroom with wc.

The first floor consists of three double bedrooms, with beautiful views. Two bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and there is a third bathroom off the hallway. There is a laundry room with washing machine/dryer, iron and ironing board.

The house is very comfortable, cheerful and quiet, cool in summer and equipped for winter days with underfloor heating and wood burning fireplaces.

La Ribera del Gaidovar is an historical enclave, nestled in the Natural Park and close to the town of Grazalema. For centuries, the flour mills and olive oil mills of the Ribera of this river have been operating, when the area was quite populated and there were still rural schools. At the end of the 20th century, the activity of the last mill of Ribera ceased. Other buildings that can be seen in the valley are small farms and bodegas, ( the area was a major wine producer up to the end of the 19 century).

Grazalema is a beautiful and small white village of the Sierra de Cadiz, which retains much of its architecture and traditional ways of life. It is located in a privileged enclave within the Natural Park with a diverse fauna and flora and unforgettable landscapes. A small town, with an original architecture very well preserved and very interesting anthropologically, such as the Toro de Cuerda in July, or the historical recreation of "Los Bandoleros", near the end of September.

The gastronomy, very natural, is based on local products, Payoyo cheese being one of the best in Spain, the Iberian pig raised in freedom, pata negra, as well as the consumption of game, partridge, deer, rabbit and so on. Of interest are the ecological oils and wines made in the mills and nearby wineries and the leather work that is made in the neighbouring town of Ubrique.

The house is ideal for couples, groups of friends or families.

Inside the house you will find guides and information to take advantage of all that our village offers and enjoy unforgettable days in an atmosphere of peace and nature.
