Full Description: A traditional village house, it has been very nicely renovated by its Spanish owner, a local specialist in rural tourism. Furnishings are modern and comfortable, yet nicely rustic in style, and the house is both neat and practical. It's an ideal holiday home for a family or group of friends who want to enjoy serene village life in the heartland of rural Andalucía. The house is on two floors, with the kitchen and living dining room downstairs, the three bedrooms (one double and two twins) and the bathroom upstairs. There is an extra little room upstairs which may be used too, if two single bedrooms are prefered to one of the twins. There is a small walled patio at the back of the house, where children can play safely. Francisco, the owner, who also speaks good English and French, will tell you absolutely everything you could want to know about the Subbética de Córdoba: from the best walking or riding routes to its best restaurants and museums. Few people are more knowledgeable - or enthusiastic - about the region. He has compiled an impressive housebook, full of useful information about the area. From the house you can enjoy the view over the Sierra Alcaide, and all around the surroundings of pretty Zagrilla are superb and unspoilt. The streets of the hamlet follow the ancient Arabic pattern, irregularly following the contours of the mountain range. Many of the villagers still do their washing at the 20communal lavadero, an age-old tradition which involves simultaneous scrubbing and chatting over the ever-flowing, crystalline spring waters. In this wonderful landscape, peace is a word which readily comes to mind; Zagrilla's location could hardly be better, as it is only ten minutes away from the lovely town of Priego de Cordoba, a definite must see. Apart from the wonderful countryside and delightful villages of the Subbética itself, the great historical cities of Córdoba and Granada are less than an hour away, and Seville is just another 30 m
