Horse riding is available on site but we are not a riding school and if horses are not your thing then don't worry, they don't detract from the beauty or peacefulness of the surroundings. It is a wonderful place for children, who often like to give a hand with the animals. Couples of all ages also enjoy the peace and quiet. We provide you with everything for a comfortable stay but if there is anything you require please ask. A welcome pack of basic essentials is provided to get you started.

You feel the charm of the beautiful old farm as soon as you park on the cobbled threshing circle. The 8 x 4m pool has a 2m deep end and 1m shallow end and the area is gated for safety for small children. It is heated free of charge meaning you can swim all year round (can't guarantee in extreme cold weather), while enjoying the incredible mountain views,or simply sunbathe on the large terraces. There are parasols for shade and the sunbeds are ideal for stargazing - no light pollution makes for a stunning sky! What better way to enjoy the spectacular mountain sunsets than with a drink or meal at a table on the pool patio.

The scenery is spectacular with pine forests, streams and olivegroves. What better way to see it than on horse back, even if you have never tried before. All levels of rider catered for, our horses are kind and safe. See our website for further details (link below). We are a centre of natural horsemanship and our herd of 16 horses live in their family groups as they would in the wild. Fascinating to watch, whether horses are your thing or not! We also offer guided walks or mountain bike trails and bird watching. An ideal holiday for families with different interests, we give you the opportunity to all do your own thing, whilst enjoying a holiday together. Mountain bikes are available for hire. Spanish lessons from a very popular local teacher available on site. Off road motorbike trails also available - see link on website.
