La Jarilla

Set amidst its own organic vineyards, almond and olive groves, 3000 ft above sea level on the south facing slope of the Contraviesa mountains, lies the Cortijo de la Jarilla, with spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada, the Mediterranean and occasionally Africa.

The property is secluded, totally unaffected by neighbours and four kilometres from the main road at Haza del Lino down a serviceable track, suitable for all types of vehicles with a six inch clearance.

La Jarilla is ideal for block bookings for several families with children, small conferences, yoga and wellness retreats, teambuilding, painting and cooking courses.

The Cortijo was found in ruins in 2004 by Simon Munro Kerr, and after years of hard work and restoration was completed in 2008. Every door, window and reja was reclaimed from all corners of Andalucia. With traditional red roof tiles, chestnut beams, cane ceilings and harled walls Cortijo de la Jarilla is a traditional 19th century Andalucian construction.

The Cortijo now consists of three self-catering cottages and Simon’s house. Bodega House sleeps four, Campana House sleeps eight and Veleta House also sleeps eight. Two of the self-catering cottages are attached and interconnecting, when required. Full board is available or alternatively the occasional dinner!

Apart from long walks taking in the spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada, the Mediterranean and occasionally Africa, or relaxing on your terrace drinking one of the house wines, La Jarilla also offers a number of additional facilities including:

- Swimming pool with terraced pool house bar
- Barbeques
- Full sized all weather tennis court
- Boule pitch
- Archery range
- Full WIFI cover
