There is a play area in the garden with swings and slide suitable for your children upto the age of ten.

Play Area

We also have a small badminton area and a petanque court with equipment available for both.

We have a small well-screened swimming pool (open from the end of April until mid-October) filled with water from the local mountainstreams, shared only with ourselves, the owners.

There are also two barbecues in the garden which we are happy for our guests to use.  One is gas, and the other is an all-weather charcoal barbecue kitchen.  If staying a week or more Tony will prepare a meal in here for you during your visit.

Outside

In the garden there is a screened sunbathing lawn with loungers and parasol, and set amongst the orange and olive groves are more secluded areas with hammocks and other seating. 

Sun Lawn

In the right season you could be wandering down the garden picking oranges to squeeze for your early morning juice.  Or in April / May be relaxing on a lounger whilst the heady perfume of orange blossom wafts around you.


Oranges just ready for picking

On the terrace area there is also a small area with dining table and chairs for 4, and parasol.  Nearby you can gather from a small selection of herbs for your cooking.


Bottle-brush tree

The gardens also contains various fruit trees - peach, pear, apricot, red and yellow plums, cherries, apples, cobnuts, and grapes from which you may gather as required when in season.  We are also happy for you to harvest vegetables as needed from the plot which usually has a varied supply of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, beans, leeks, onions etc.

We also have an aviary in the garden where we are sure that any children will enjoy feeding the white doves and silver pheasants with produce from the garden.


 

The Aviary

And if you enjoy birdlife then we are sure that you will appreciate seeing the vultures and eagles glide over the finca if the weather is suitable.  Or maybe in the spring and early summer just lie back and listen to the nightingales singing.

'We had a fantastic, relaxing holiday here.  Gorgeous finca in the most beautiful setting !  We loved the garden, and couldn't keep the girls out of the pool, and really enjoyed going down the garden to pick our fruit and veg.  We could have stayed in the hammocks for ever !  Tony and Christine are fantastic hosts.  Thank you so much for all you did for us.'  D & G July 2008
