Fertile Imagination Mesas de Asta, Andalusia

Holiday Rental Description

Dating back to the seventeenth century, this remarkable home sits in the middle of 535 hectares of land, the majority of which are put to use growing vines, olives, wheat, oats, beet and sunflowers.

As you can imagine, these rural surroundings make for a rather peaceful atmosphere, which is perfect for enjoying this splendid property. The interior is dominated by period features, including high ceilings, wooden beams, a traditional fireplace in the living room and a collection of heraldic decorations on the wall.

The grand dining table next to an ornate antique sideboard will add a sense of occasion to mealtimes, but there are plenty of modern aspects that don't take themselves too seriously. The games room with equipment for ping-pong, billiards and darts is one such example, as is the beautiful swimming pool that sits just outside.

The house sits on the outskirts of Jerez de la Frontera, an Andalusian city famous for sherry production, flamenco and equestrianism, the latter of which can be seen in action at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art only twelve minutes' drive away. Keen golfers will be pleased to hear of the seven golf courses located within a thirty-five kilometre radius, and thalassophiles will be delighted to know that the sea awaits a mere twenty-minute drive away. Your host can even arrange some pretty spectacular experiences too, including hot air balloon rides, sherry tasting and falconry sessions.
