FABULOUS HOLIDAY HOUSE IN MOUNTAINS OF ANDALUCIA
www.cortijoteverde.com - I lived here once upon a time, we called it Arcadia Artist Retreat, it is looked after by Giorgio - VIVA ITALIA! :) - the place rocks, it has views, swimming pool, tropical tree house, outdoor giant jacuzzi, neverending grounds, home farm, courtyards with hidden nooks and secret corners, centenary trees, kiddy play area. Located only half an hour from the airport and beaches of East Malaga, shot away from museums and arty places, yet rural enough to be able to escape and destress amongst the olive and almond trees, drive away from nightlife and buzz of Malaga, Marbella, Puerto Banus, Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Antequera, Sevilla, Granada, Ronda... Straight friendly, family friendly, gay friendly, just friendly. :) Room vacation rental, groups of friends, family reunions, anything goes, catering available, waiter and chef on site to cater to your every need.
