Photos and Description of this Huelva Province (Costa de la Luz) holiday cottage Stunning 360 degree Views from Large roof terrace

With almost 360 degree views over the fields and distant villages beyond, the roof terrace is just a wonderful spot to while away the day sunbathing, reading, watching the prolific bird life or having 'sundowners' (Sangria, cold beers, red wine, G&T, take your pick!). And on a clear night the star gazing is simply 'out of this world'. This is, after all, the highest house in the highest village in the Sierra, and from up here it shows! There is also a shady ground-level patio off the kitchen with a barbecue. The village of Castano has its own outdoor village swimming pool, but note that its use is limited to the high summer months, generally July & August. There is an excellent guidebook available that is full of local walks, maps and 'Sierra de Aracena - a Walk Guidebook' by David and Ros Brawn This lovely cottage has been sympathetically modernised just enough to make it very comfortable but without removing any of its old Spanish charm.

Cottage in Sierra de Aracena National Park, NW of Seville. Set on the edge of the quiet village of Castaño del Robledo in the heart of the Sierra de Aracena. The area is famous for its cork and chestnut trees, wild mushrooms and excellent serrano hams. The Sierra de Aracena is a great place for walkers, horse riders and nature lovers, whatever the season. Even in the height of summer, when much of Andalucia gets dried up in the heat, it remains green and lush. In autumn the changing leaves are stunning, and the wild mushrooms (there's over 600 different kinds in the Sierra) and bountiful chestnuts attract people from far and wide. Although wetter and cooler in the winter, it is not unknown to be able to sunbathe at Christmas! Spring brings a profusion of wild flowers at every turn. Castaño and its surrounding villages still offer the 'real Spain' beautiful and varied walks, great tapas, good wine, sleepy afternoons and, quite frequently, wild fiestas too!

Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Huelva Province (Costa de la Luz), Spain

It would be possible to spend an entire week just sitting on the roof terrace watching the swallows, storks and eagles, the changing light, and at night the huge star-filled sky... Castaño village has its own public open air swimming pool (open summer months only), and there are also nearby rivers and a large lake where you can swim on those hot afternoons. But once you've wound down and relaxed, the cottage is also a great base for walking and exploring the surrounding region. Many other pretty villages are within easy walking distance, Alajar and Almonaster la Real being two of the most picturesque. The town of Aracena with its cliff-top castle, bars, cafes, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, shops and the 'Cave of Wonders' (spectacular caverns of stalagtites and stalagmites), is 15 mins drive/bus.

Slightly further afield, there are the Rio Tinto Mines to explore. The wonderful city of Seville, with its magnificent Cathedral/Mezquita, is just over an hour's drive away. (Why not have a day there for a boat trip down the Guadalquiver River, a tour round the city's sites in a horse drawn carriage, and a truly authentic Flamenco show?)

Portugal is only 40 mins away (check your car hire insurance covers it though). Within 2 hrs drive there's the Costa de la Luz, whole stretches of beautiful beach which at most times of the year are deserted. And finally, on the same coast lies the world famous Coto Doñana National Park - an absolute must for bird watchers. In fact there's so much to do you'll need to book a second visit to fit it all in (as several of our guests have, which is why we now offer repeat-booking discounts!) .

Other Activities: bird-watching
