  Exterior Facilities Balcony / Garden / Swimming Pool  
 
  Exterior Details The house and garden are set in the grounds of a finca, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The lawn runs down to the pool and is partly shaded by trees. The pool has terrace on three sides and nothing but views on the fourth. Do help yourself to peaches, plums, figs and pears from the garden if they are ripe. Outside the garden you can wander through the olive grove and watch goats and black pigs, typical to the area, munching happily on fruit fallen from the magnificent cork and chestnut trees. In Spring a plethora of wild flowers grow in the meadow. By early summer bee eaters can be seen swooping for insects and hoopoos hopping amongst the olives. At the end of the day, you can relax on the terrace, glass in hand and enjoy the magnificent sunsets. The swimming pool isn't heated, but has a solar cover. As it is not fenced off small children need to be watched carefully.
