This delightful casita has bags of charm and character, its location lets you head for the hills or bask on the beaches.
A gravel driveway leads round to the front of the Casita where the swimming pool and covered terrace are the main focal points.
La Casita has an open plan living area with high beamed ceiling, terracotta floor tiles, comfy chairs by a large fireplace and open plan " L "shaped kitchen and dining area. Wooden shutters to all windows will keep the cottage cool during the day. A small hallway leads to the master double bedroom with two shuttered windows which flood the room with natural light. One window looks out to a hillside of Cherimoya and Avocado trees and the other overlooks the swimming pool. A twin bedroom also shares the pool view.
A covered terrace provides welcome shade in the heat of the day and is the perfect setting for long leisurely " al fresco " lunches or evening sundowners. The cool blue swimming pool is surrounded by a terracotta terrace and shingle covered garden. Fenced on all sides to provide privacy for guests. An orchard and long driveway separates the casita and the owners main house, far enough away not to disturb but close enough to be on hand for assistance or local advice.
La Casita is set in the heart of the Sub-Tropical fruit growing region of the Costa Tropical yet the beaches and amenities are only a short drive away. Unspoilt by mass tourism the Costa Tropical offers some of the best beach side restaurants, some are quite basic with simple fare, but the food especially the locally caught fish is delicious.
This is a good base from which to explore the Andalucian coast and countryside.
