What a wonderful location! Advantageously situated on the edge of the picturesque ‘pueblo blanco’ of El Gastor, with olive tree studded slopes rising beyond it to the rear and a panoramic vista spreading out ahead, this smart home encapsulates all of the appealing features we seek when searching for a holiday home.
On the south-eastern edge of the village, Casa la Bodega offers not only a contemporary interior of spacious proportions and light-filled rooms but also a picture-postcard view across the village’s terracotta rooftops to the interlocking slopes of the nearby National Park. Its poolside terraces, infinity pool and covered dining area extend beyond the living room like a balcony overlooking the captivating scenery, and just a short stroll down the lane are all the amenities of the village.
Within a charming labyrinth of narrow streets and whitewashed buildings, splashed with the bright colours of flower-filled balconies, the local shops of El Gastor are conveniently close to hand. The nearest restaurant is just 350m from the house, from where a scenic stroll of a further 200m will reveal the lively square, a focal point of the village and an ideal setting for mingling with the locals in one of its friendly cafes.
In what was originally the family’s local winery for production of white wine from the surrounding vineyards, the current generation of owners has imaginatively converted and re-modelled the property to create the stylish accommodation found here today. As the house is entered an immediate sense of style and elegance is apparent in the clean lines and muted tones of its contemporary décor whilst a thoughtful layout connecting indoor and outdoor areas via glass panelled French doors creates that all-important ease of access for al fresco holiday living.
