Private, stylish, spacious and luxurious, El Olivar is an exceptionally comfortable and well-appointed house in Andalucia with a private pool where you can relax, unwind and enjoy spectacular views over rolling farmland towards the mountains of the Serrania de Ronda.
Set within its own olive grove and surrounded by a patchwork of fields, El Olivar feels delightfully rural and remote, and yet it is just a few miles from the beautiful hilltop city of Ronda, one of Andalucia’s finest ‘pueblos blancos’. The house itself, decorated in a soothing palette of muted colours and filled throughout with whitewashed beams, terracotta floors, antique furnishings and original artwork, is truly gorgeous. And outside a south-facing terrace stretches the whole length of the house and overlooks the garden, the swimming pool and the panoramic views beyond. What more perfect setting could there be for a family gathering or a romantic getaway?
Just a few minutes from the house is the beautiful hilltop city of Ronda, where you can wander through the old town, people watch from the cafes and explore the wonderful gardens, palaces, culture and architecture. In the area there is a huge amount to see and do. Guests who want to get active can go hiking, cycling, horse riding, wild swimming, golfing and kayaking, and those in search of gentler pursuits can enjoy yoga, shopping, painting and bird watching. History and culture buffs will love discovering the bridge of Puente Nuevo, the famous Plaza de Toros, the city’s Arab baths and the medieval city walls, and further afield you will find other white villages like Arcos de la Frontera, the Grazalema National Park and the vibrant old cities of Seville and Granada.
