Casa la Piedra is a typical Andalusian house, located in a calle close to the heart of the village and the Plaza, overflowing with bourgavilla, jasmin and exotic plants.This romantic house of an unknown age has been thoughtfully modernised to offer comfortable accommodation whilst retaining it´s charming rustic aspect.
The house is of Roman origin with an Arab influence. Typical features of these houses and villages are the narrow winding streets, small transverse arches, framed grilles and coloured skirting lintels. White predominates; white washed houses, doorways, terraces and balconies full of flowers and wonderful tile decoration.
The house is possibly four hundred years old and well preserved. Its finishing touches makes it one of the most interesting houses in the village.
There are lots of bright fabrics and textures to compliment the shapes and sense of age in the house. The house is also perfect for people who require studio space for painting or writing.The village is a magnet for creative people of all nationalities.
The entrance room is inviting with terracotta tiles on the floors and wooden beamed ceilings. The old wooden shutters on the windows can be opened to illuminate the white walls or closed down to diffuse the light on a hot summers day. There is an open fireplace and a further room exposing two levels, interesting architectural detail and a tiny courtyard of jasmin and aspidistra. There is a double bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Wooden steps lead to a spacious. bright and welcoming kitchen / dining room. The dining table of old pine can accommodate eight people.
The next level has a twin bedroom and a double bedroom with shared bathroom. Once again there are terracotta floors and beamed ceilings of varied colours reflecting dazzling light.
At the top of the house there is a large roof terrace with wonderful views of the village and surrounding countryside. A small room houses the barbeque, chairs and parasole. Part of the roof is covered in the summer months for more protection.
