Vivienda Rural Huerto del Francés

Situated in Sierra Mágina (Pegalajar), Casa Rural offers a spectacular environment for people who want to enjoy a relaxing country getaway, or hike some easy-to-challenging trails among the olive, almond and pine trees in the surrounding mountains. This 300-year-old former farmer house has been restored perfectly with modern fittings and all necessities to provide the maximum comfort for the guests. It accommodates 6 people in 3 tastefully decorated bedrooms.

The house, a former home for farmers, recently renovated to make an ultimately cozy space reminiscent of ancient times. We have respected the old structure, but completely refurbished for this purpose using materials like stone, wood and metal, while trying to attain the maximum comfort. We also decorated the house with antique furniture which were retouched mostly by ourselves. The thick walls of this stone house help maintain a stable temperature, although we have supported with new technology such as air conditioning and heating systems in all rooms, and hot water in all bathrooms. In the living room there are fireplace, sofas, TV, CD & DVD players, dining area... sure that you will spend a good time with good conversation by the fireplace or the patio outside !!

The patio is surrounded by plants and vegetables and is flowed with fresh air. The lovely aroma of wet soil and vegetation bring about very relaxing and cool summer nights.

Currently we have three double bedrooms (two with 2 single beds and one with one double bed), 2 bathrooms, one shared by two bedrooms (Green and Blue) and another integrated into one suite (Loft Suite). The total capacity is designed for six guests with coziness and ease.

The village is just 5-minute-walk away, there you will find all the essential services: bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, church, hospital, pharmacy, bus stop, sports center and public swimming pool, etc.

In Pegalajar you can visit "The Pond" (La Charca, a reservoir in the village center, which collects the water from the source of Fountain of Reja since the ancient time). You can also visit the old laundry house and the church which was built over the ancient castle that still retains some of its walls and entrance (arc of the Incarnation), the chapel, the vegetable gardens ...

In Mágina mountain range there are many hiking trails and mountain paths where you will find magnificent scenery and enjoy photography of nature as well as the peace of mind.
