Following the track to the property, there is plenty of off road parking. The U-shaped villa has been constructed around an open courtyard in the middle. Entering via the double doors, leads directly into the middle of the lounge with one of the most amazing views back towards the Castillo de Xiquena and the natural park to the rear. The lounge boasts double height ceilings with windows at the top and wooden doors leading out to the covered terrace. There is also a log burner in the corner. On the left of lounge a recessed archway with large matresses is the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the view.

To the side, an opening leads to the kitchen/dining room. In the fully fitted kitchen, there is plenty of cupboard space, a 5-ring hob, oven & extractor fan, plus plenty of countertop space. Next to here is an island, used as a dining room table. From this space, there are double doors leading out to the side of the property.

The bedrooms and bathrooms for the property are on both wings of the U shape.

On the opposite wing there is the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and patio doors leading to the covered terrace. The en-suite also features a walk-in shower. The next room is the second family bathroom, again with a walk in shower. The layout is completed with the second bedroom; again with patio doors leading out to the courtyard.

Externally, the private pool area really is something special, with a stunning backdrop of the nearby castle with the natural park to the rear. Boasting a swimming pool and built-in Jaccuzzi, this outdoor space also boasts a bar next to the pool and easily maintained gardens & grounds.
