Our beautiful barn is in its own grounds of 1 hectare at Finca al-manzil. which is a huge finca, completey private. The barn has its own entrance and complete privacy from the rest of the finca. Furnished with care, interesting objects and paintings. Really spacious with upstairs bedroom, a double height sitting/dining room of 45m2 with sofa, armchairs, dining for 6; wood burning stove; plenty of books and dvds, smart t.v.; fully equipped kitchen with French window to long covered terrace with views over the olive groves and up to the peaks, perfect for bird watching. Outside dining table and for summer months there is a misting system to keep the terrace cool on hot days. A wood burning stove keeps the whole space really cosy in the cooler months. There is a sofa bed in bedroom for use of 1 child under 10. Sunny bathroom with shower and views of meadow. 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.
