A typical Andalusian farmhouse renovated at Sierra de Lújar, 250 meters above sea level and just a few minutes from the beaches and coves of Castell de Ferro, on the Costa Tropical. Surrounded by mountains, this farmhouse offers rest and tranquility, as well as the possibility of enjoying an indescribable natural environment. The Cortijo is made up of the Casita La Bodega, our common room El Molino, the Albaicín, Realejo and Sacromonte bedrooms and a common area with a pool and gardens. You can reserve the Casita La Bodega, the entire Cortijo or just a bedroom with bathroom. If you rent the Bodega or the bedrooms, the El Molino living room and swimming pool area will be shared with the other guests of the accommodation.
