Photos and Description of this Huercal Overa holiday farmhouse 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, total maximum capacity - 14

A 5 bedroom converted farmhouse set in its own eight acres of terraced land, with wonderful views down towards the coast below and easy access to the mountains above. The surrounding hills are excellent walking country. The farmhouse is in a serene location among almond groves and 200-year old olive trees half way up the valley of Fuente Amarga where the natural spring provides mineral water for drinking and irrigation to the surrounding oasis. With fresh air and utter peace and quiet away from the packed 'costas'. The local landscape is semi-desert which certainly has its own beauty. The surrounding valleys are covered with olive groves, almond, fig and pomegranate trees.

Karen Jackman
We had a great time at the house in August, thank you for your thoughtfulness. The house was just perfect: idyllic setting; loads of space, though plenty of places to have a bit of peace and quiet if you felt like it; every need anticipated and catered for and plenty of space and furniture for eating out. I've stayed at so many places that cater for large groups but don't quite provide enough seating! Everything was just so lovely from the bedrooms to the pool! I am gushing now so will finish!

Emma Cahill
Our first impressions of the house was that it looked just amazing. It even looked spacious enough for all 10 of us! The communal indoor areas, like the kitchen, the bathrooms, etc, were all great – there were enough appliances, crockery etc. Everything well furnished. My absolute favourite thing about the house was the outside areas – the pool and walled garden / BBQ area.
We had a really great time and would definitely consider booking again.
