It has a 10m x 5m swimming pool and there is also a magnificent pool with slides in the nearby village of Varche. There is excellent local bird watching

Bathroom adjoining largest bedroom. Shower-room with wc and wash basin. Separate wc with wash basin. Large sitting room upstairs which has a fine view of Spain. Kitchen with wood-burning stove for the winter and equipped with cooker, fridge-freezer and washing machine. Patio with a shady olive tree and a barbecue.

surroundings:  The Quinta is a 46 acre farm of olive and orange groves with almond, fig, pomegranate, walnut, plum, quince and persimmon trees, watered by a Moorish irrigation system.
