Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
Cortijo Roman is a registered Casa Rural and as such the standard of the accommodation, swimming pool and grounds are very high.
It was once a traditional working Andalucian farm but has now been sympathetically and tastefully restored by the British owners to offer accommodation in 4 delightful and quite individual cottages. These are set around a flower bedecked central courtyard but each one has a private entrance and it's own secluded patio and garden area with a BBQ.
The immediate gardens are well cared for and quite delightful and the whole is set in some nine hectares of wild flower meadows with marvellous views of the historic old town of Jimena in the distnce, with it's castle sitting atop of the hill. This is lit up at night and is a wonderful site. A wooden bridge across a stream takes you to the large immacuately kept swimming pool. Here there are plenty of sunbeds, some in shade some in full sun plus showers and toilets, one with wheelchair access.
Cortijo Roman offers self contained accommodation for 2-4 people.However extra beds can be provided if required as well as cots and high chairs.
The cottages all have lofty beamed ceilings which keep them cool in the summer and wood burning stoves which make them cosy and ideal for an autumn/winter break.
They have all been tastefully and comfortably fitted and furnished in a traditional Andalucian country style. The kitchens are very well equipped with gas hob, double ceramic sinks, microwave, fridge/freezer, automatic washing machine, electric kettle, toaster and juicer, iron and ironing board and plenty of pots, pans, crockery and glassware, etc. There is one cottage, Casa Romero, which has a full oven.They also have a basic supply of herbs,olive and sunflower oils ,salt, pepper,vinegar,teabags and sugar.
