An exquisitely beautiful mountain retreat.
Dar Hajra is hidden away in a forest just above the undiscovered ‘white village’ of Montecorto, close to Ronda. From the house’s rocky perch you are treated to a stunning views of the Grazalema mountains. A path flanked by rosemary, lavendar and honeysuckle climbs up to the house’s entrance. It looks traditional enough from the outside but within is a house where fantasy came first in the design brief. The mountainside has been wrapped into the fabric of the building and rock adds a stunning decorative element: Dar Hajra means ‘House of the Rocks’. A pyramidal atrium is the visual axis around which the open-plan lounge/diner turns. Three huge drop arch windows lead to the terrace and infinity edge plunge pool whose waters seem to merge with the sky. The sitting room/kitchen/diner are one huge open space, there is a large master bedroom, extraordinary bathroom and fabulous paintings and sculptures. The house has featured in several design mag features: seeing is believing at Dar Hajra.

The pretty village of Montecorto is at the edge of the Grazalema National Park, a Unesco Biosphere reserve, which has some of the best hiking in Europe. (The owner of El Tejar has written a guide to the best walks). The fauna and flora of the Park are remarkable: more than a third of Spain's plant species grow here and ornithologists come from the world over because of the abundance of raptors and migrating birds. Just a quarter of an hour away is the extraordinary Roman theatre of Acinipo, hewn out of solid rock, and the Pileta cave - with some of Europe's best rock painting - is just a short drive away. Ronda, one of Spain's most spectacular towns, can be reached in fifteen minutes by car. The village of Montecorto is one of the 'pueblos blancos', a cluster of white hill villages which stretch from Arcos in the west to Ronda in the east. These villages are amongst the prettiest in Spain. And Sevilla, Jerez, Arcos, Cadiz and Granada can all be easily visited from Montecorto.
