COUNTRY HOUSE WITH PRIVATE POOL AND SIERRA VIEWS (CÓRDOBA, ANDALUSIA) · 4 PEOPLE Some houses you simply find, and others you reach because you're looking for silence. La Pedriza is the second kind: a single-storey home, tucked away and sun-soaked, surrounded by countryside, where the sierra landscape comes in through the window and the pool waits just across the terrace. Seventy square metres built for four people who need nothing more than the sound of cicadas. Perfect if you're travelling with your dog, because here it's welcome too. INSIDE THE HOUSE. Everything on one floor, no stairs to complicate things. The living-dining room has a table for group meals, a television, and air conditioning with hot air heating, and from there you step straight out to the terrace and the pool. One bedroom has a 150 cm double bed; the other has two 90 cm single beds; both with their own air conditioning. The kitchen, open-plan and American-style, comes with an oven, microwave, freezer, dishwasher, four-ring ceramic hob, and a Nespresso capsule coffee machine included. Two full bathrooms with shower and hairdryer, one for each pair of guests. OUTSIDE. The plot is fenced, so your dog can run around without you worrying. The private pool measures 6 x 4 metres, with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.70 metres, and it's available all twelve months of the year. Near the water there's a bathroom with a shower, plus an outdoor shower, so you don't track water into the house. The terrace has garden furniture and a barbecue: summer dinners practically organise themselves. And in the background, the sierra, always in view. WHERE YOU ARE. La Pedriza sits in a quiet corner of the Córdoba countryside, far from traffic and from neighbours right next door. The nearest shop is 500 metres away; for a supermarket, restaurant, bar or café you'll need to cover 7.5 km, and the "Zambra" bus stop is 6 km away. The nearest beach is 109 km off, so this is countryside, not coast. Antequera is 62 km away, Córdoba city 80 km, and Granada 118 km — three options for a day trip. If you like walking, the Sierras Subbéticas offer hiking trails 17 km away. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. The house is non-smoking and allows one pet or dog. There's a washing machine and iron for longer stays, plus free wifi for anyone who doesn't want to fully disconnect. Parking next to the house is free. Groups of teenagers are only accepted if arranged with the owner beforehand, who doesn't generally accept groups: this is a place to rest, not to make noise.
