 La Hacienda is probably one of the most beautiful and desirable properties in Andalucia. It is gracious, elegant and exceptionally private. Surrounded by its own oak forest and a vineyard, it is a paradise that has been preserved by its owners.

The house is generously spread out on one floor with an interior courtyard flanked with colonnades. The interior is flawlessly decorated, the garden impressive and the view towards the Roman ruins of Acinipo unmatched. The Hacienda will give visitors a truly splendid opportunity to experience the raw beauty of Andalucia amidst a luxurious utopian idyll.

A private track through the grounds leads to the house. There are natural springs, imposing trees and a tropical garden laid out around a pond. Arriving at the imposing antique doors which enclose the courtyard, the details and quality of the property are apparent, with plants and flowers in abundance. Water tinkles in the fountain and on warm summer nights it makes the perfect spot for a candlelit supper.

The kitchen, in the west wing, has two ovens, fridge/freezer, roasting spit, hob, fireplace/indoor barbecue and dishwasher. There is also a well equipped laundry room with industrial washing machine and dryer. A fine refectory table and chairs for informal dining furnish the kitchen.

The formal dining room embodies everything an elegant dining room should be: a fine mahogany dining table and chairs which seat ten, with to the side a sideboard for serving and drinks table for after dinner brandies and liqueurs. The small sitting room is cosy and comfortable with a large satellite television and DVD player expertly fitted into the wall. The drawing room is exceptionally spacious with a specially commissioned oriental carpet. Several pairs of French windows lead out onto the terrace which runs the entire length of the house and gives out onto the spectacular view toward the Roman ruins. The large hallway takes one down to the east wing where there is an extensive library and a separate study. In the library is located a computer for use of guests with internet connection. There are five double bedrooms, all with luxury en suite bathrooms and quality fittings. The west wing of the house has an staff annexe with a bedroom , bathroom, small kitchen and sitting room or playroom, suitable for either two children or a nanny.

Outside, a vine covered pergola with marble topped table and chairs and a built in barbeque offers a splendid dining area with views to the ruins of Acinipo across the immaculate lawns surrounded by herbaceous borders. The main elevated terrace has central steps that sweep down to the water garden which takes much of its inspiration from the Generalife garden of the Alhambra Palace at Granada. Further down, the swimming pool measuring 15 x 6 meters echoes the palette of Andalucia with its pale green colour. There is also a knot garden to the east of the house with both tropical and indigenous plants used to good effect to give a formal aspect to this individual and luxuriant property. 

The house comes prepared as one would expect from a property of this category: daily maid service, all cotton sheets, abundant towels,  vases of flowers as well as wine and olive oil from the estate.  A part time cook is also on hand to prepare and serve meals and snacks as needed.
