A beautiful three bedroom casita in peaceful grounds on the 8-acre private country estate of Finca el Sueno in Andalucia, tucked away in a protected valley between the white hilltop town of Vejer de la Frontera and the sea. One of four cottages, as well as the main farmhouse, it’s a perfect and peaceful holiday location.
Alcornoque casita is the largest and most secluded of the cottage on the estate, with its own gardens and parking area, tucked under the ancient shady cork oak trees and enjoying views across the finca towards Vejer. It is in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of the Costa de la Luz, the ‘coast of light’.
The beautiful 'white village' of Vejer de la Frontera is just 12 minutes by car. Some of the best beaches on the Costa de la Luz are just 20 minutes away by car - the long golden beaches of El Pamar & Canos de Meca up to Conil are particularly good for families in the summer and surfers in the winter. Montenmedio Golf & Country is les than 1km away and within a short drive there are several other excellent courses as well as wide range of activities such as horseriding and quad-biking. There is a wealth of choice for nature lovers too - from whale & dolphin watching to safaris exploring the wonderful National Parks. Your days can be as active or as laid-back as you wish - sherry-tasting, a day-trip to Seville, Cadiz or even Morocco are some of your options.
