COUNTRY HOUSE WITH PRIVATE POOL IN ALMUÑÉCAR (Costa Tropical) · 4 PEOPLE La Cordobilla is a country house surrounded by farmland, renovated in 2015 and made for unplugging from the coastal pace without straying too far from it. It has 70 square metres laid out simply, two bedrooms on the ground floor, and a fenced 600-square-metre plot where the private pool is the star of summer. The feel is rustic and calm, the kind of place where you hear the countryside more than traffic. It's a good base if you're travelling as a couple or a family and don't mind covering a few kilometres to reach the beach. INSIDE THE HOUSE. Both bedrooms are on the ground floor: one with a double bed and another with two single beds, enough to comfortably fit four people. The living room keeps the rustic character of the house, with its wood-burning fireplace, dining table and satellite TV; from here you step straight out onto the terrace. The kitchen comes equipped with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, freezer and coffee maker, everything you need to cook without relying on restaurants. There's a single bathroom, with shower and hairdryer. A washing machine, iron, safe and internet round out what you'll find inside. OUTSIDE. The fenced, tree-dotted plot spans 600 square metres, and it's here that the private pool opens up, measuring 7 by 3 metres and available from May to October. The terrace comes with garden furniture and a barbecue, perfect for stretching out mealtimes outdoors, and the pool area has its own bathroom and outdoor shower. If you're travelling with your dog, it's welcome here. WHERE YOU ARE. The house sits right in the countryside of the Costa Tropical, 7 km from the centre of Almuñécar and 4 km from Torrecuevas. The sea and the sandy beach are 8 km away, the same distance as the Almuñécar bus station. A shop and restaurant are 4 km away. From here you can head to Nerja, Frigiliana, the Maro Cliffs, or up to Granada to see the Alhambra; if you prefer the mountains, Sierra Nevada and the hiking routes of the Río Verde, the Lecrín Valley or the Sierra Almijara are all close by. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. The final stretch of the access road is a 500-metre track, narrow and sloped, so it's best to arrive by car and take it slowly. Parking is free, within the property itself, and there's also room on the road. The house has no air conditioning or heating, though the bedrooms and living room have fans for the hotter months. It's fitted with a smoke detector and fire extinguisher.
