Your Perfect Getaway: Stay in Spain this Winter
Set in the peaceful hills of Andalusia, El Monte Bajo is surrounded by ancient olive groves and uninterrupted views across protected countryside to the sea. Built using local stone and reclaimed timber, the house blends simplicity and charm – whitewashed walls, antique beams, and soft lighting that create a warm, calming atmosphere both inside and out.
On crisp winter days, the skies are often clear and blue, and the sun still strong enough to enjoy time outdoors. Wander the trails through the hills, or head to nearby Frigiliana or Nerja to explore traditional village life and sample local cuisine. Inside, the open-plan living area includes a farmhouse-style kitchen and generous seating space – ideal for cooking, reading, or simply doing nothing at all.
A wood-burning stove provides a cozy centrepiece on cooler evenings, perfect for relaxing after a day of walking or writing. Unplug and reconnect with nature – or stay connected with reliable Wi-Fi and a selection of media if you prefer.
El Monte Bajo offers a quiet, characterful escape – where rustic living meets modern ease.
