You couldn't be nearer to the breathtaking mountain town of Ronda, yet still in the countryside. This lovely village house - which has many of its original features, such as metre thick stone walls, pantile roof and ancient well - is just 5 minutes from Ronda, and a delightful walk into the nearby mountains. Renovated to the highest standards, it has terracotta floors, bespoke wooden kitchen units and historic decorative wall tiles. The garden has been well landscaped and has 2 ancient olive trees and a productive fig tree, while a vine clambers up onto the roof terrace above. While quiet, Arriate is anything but sleepy with an abundance of good shops and a couple of excellent restaurants. Very 'Andaluz' in feel, locals are friendly and have some of the region's most popular festivals, particularly at Easter. Best of all, the village pool is only a minute's stroll and in a beautifully shady spot perfect for cooling off in the hot summer.
