Huerta Pedro Pardo is a secluded finca near the unusual cave town of Setenil de las Bodegas (30 minutes from Ronda, 30 minutes from the National Park of Grazalema)

The finca is a newly restored traditional Spanish farmhouse, surrounded by 16 acres of meadow, spanish oak, olive and eucalyptus trees, in a secluded river valley.

The house is set on a rise with fantastic views in every direction. The cave town of Setenil de Las Bodegas, with plenty of bars, shops, and restaurants, is a 1 km walk away.

In the opposite direction from the house, there are paths which join the old bandit routes, and lead you to other nearby villages. These paths are suitable for walking, cycling or horse riding.

The Roman ampitheatre at Acinipo is a short drive away, and slightly further away are the prehistoric cave paintings at Montejaque.

The house can accomodate up to 6 people, with 3 bedrooms, (one en suite) , a second bathroom, large kitchen/diner, large comforable living room with CD player, and 2 large balconies overlooking the land. The lower balcony is shaded, with a built-in BBQ and a large dining table, while the upper balcony is open - for sun-worshippers !

There is a plunge pool (diameter 3m, depth 0.75m), just beside the lower balcony.

Easily accessible from Malaga, Granada, Gibralter, Seville and Jerez airports. Malaga is about 1 1/2 hours - the others about 2 hours.

Price : £ 370.00 per week, all seasons. Dates flexible. English speaking caretaker nearby.
