Information

Casita Marguerita has one bedroom with a double bed, a double wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bedside table and lamps and an ensuite walk-in and step-over shower with a wash basin and loo. There is an open plan sitting/dining/kitchen area. The kitchen is typically Andaluz. A good array of pots and pan, crockery and cutlery is supplied. The kitchen is freshly stocked with some basics like bottled water, milk, juice, bread, butter, jam, eggs and cornflakes for your arrival.

It is naturally cool in the house during summer if the blinds are kept down, windows shut and wooden shutters closed during the heat of the day. There is a portable standing fan for those hotter days.

For the cooler mornings and nights, there is a wall mounted electric panel heater in the bedroom plus a blanket and hot water bottles. As we are approximately 2000feet above sea level in the mountains it can be chilly in the mornings and nights during the spring month of March and autumn month of October and during those months a gas fire is on hand.

A patio table and 2 chairs are provided for use on the patio. There is also a patio umbrella and a bamboo blind for when the grapevine has not fully grown to provide sufficient shade from the sun when sitting out. We also provide a BBQ and utensils and ashtrays for use. Smokers are welcome. We ask kindly that they do not smoke indoors.

Bedlinen and bath towels are included in the price. They are changed on a weekly basis. We ask kindly that you provide your own beach towels please.

Come and experience the hospitality of the Andalucians which is well known and the cultural sites of Andalucia which are well documented.

If you are nature lovers, go for long walks in La Subbetica, the Poniente Granadino or the Comarca Malaga and take your binoculars with you and watch and count the different species of birds. Pack a picnic and eat lunch sitting amongst the unique landscape of El Torcal. Spend a day in Granada City and imagine what life was like during the days of the Moors in La Alhambra. Absorb the heady scent of the orange blossoms in the Patios de los Naranjos of La Mezquita in Cordoba City. Wander through the narrow streets of the Old Jewish Quarter and treat yourselves to tea and sweets in one of the quaint teashops. Go and see the cavehouses in Guadix and head towards a local market or "mercadilla" and see how the locals talk passionately about the quality of fruits and vegetables. Have tapas at a typical bar and mingle with the locals chatting noisily away and playing cards. Sit in one of the many cafeterias on the cliffs of Ronda and marvel at the commanding bridge whilst sipping your cafe con leche. Lose yourselves in the spectacle of the thousands of flamingos at the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra. Meander the streets of Sevilla City and feel the "duende" of the gypsies of bygone days in the air and reward yourselves watching a flamenco dance. Savour the delight of freshly fried churros dipped in sweet sticky hot chocolate for a breakfast date with the locals in a restaurant/bar. Be inspired by Washington Irving and follow his route or the Route of the Caliphs and compare the characteristics of the different white villages and towns like Zuheros, Ecija and Priego de Cordoba...........all these and more to do in rural Andalucia.

And when you are exhausted from your outings, stay in with a glass of crianza in the patio under the vines with a good book or soak in some sun sitting out on the gravelled garden to rejuvenate yourselves before heading home. You will find yourselves thoroughly refreshed after your stay here and perhaps even planning the next trip back to this region!
