Mountain School Urbanización Sierra Gorda, Andalusia

Property Description

There’s no doubt this countryside villa, a converted 1854 school building, oozes Andalusian charm with its traditional stone façade and evocative rural surroundings. Located in Sierra Gorga, overlooking the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountains and within driving distance of the Mediterranean Sea, this home provides easy access to the region’s significant natural sites and enticing hillside views. There’s perfect harmony between the outside and inside here – combining authentic character and contemporary comfort – you’ll feel instantly at home.

This restored building has perfectly preserved its original rustic simplicity. Step inside and be instantly embraced by its traditional charm – we love the authentic tiles, period stonework, fireplaces and beamed ceilings making it feel like an indulgent Spanish sanctuary. Spend indulgent days soaking up the sun by the pool before cooling off in the sparkling waters. There’s a restorative feeling to adopt in this home – stretch out in the outdoor lounge with a sangria, try out a Spanish classic in the rustic kitchen or sink into the bathtub for some me time. Delight in the day’s highlights and share special moments with your group over an intimate dinner in the outdoor dining room, surrounded by herbaceous hillside vistas.

There are plenty of charming spots to visit along the Costa del Sol coastline, all within driving distance. Adventurous types can hit the hiking trails to explore the magnificent scenery. And, if you fancy practising your swing, you can drive to the Lauro Golf Course for a day teeing off the mountain.
