A blissful, exquisite house restored to a high level, offering comfort, simplicity, style and peace in a tranquil cluster of historic houses close to Lake Viñuela.Casa Mia is the perfect place to be, if you are looking for peace and a little bit of Andalusian country living, but not too isolated or alone. This little hamlet is picturesque and typically Andalusian, with charming views and plenty of open countryside to explore on foot – indeed Lake Viñuela is just a short walk away. It also has the advantage of being within walking distance of a bar and restaurant that is open in the Summer season, but is also only a few minutes’ drive from both Periana village and the facilities at Viñuela and Puente Don Manuel.

There is a community parking area just a few seconds’ walk from the house, which is detached, but one of a line of country cottages that make up the hamlet. There is a small patio to the front,and to one side is a large wooden door (original entrance to the farm) leading into the inner patio courtyard garden. This consists of an L-shaped patio area, the part nearest the entrance to the house used mainly as an outside living area, with an outside WC to one side, and the second part is a barbecue and chillout area, complete with a jacuzzi hot tub and beautiful country views.

The front door leads into an open plan ground floor living space, which is beautiful, stylish and homely, with one room flowing into the next. A large front living/dining area (5 x 2.6m) leads through a wide arch to a cosier living area (3.4 x 3.3m, excluding the open staircase to the left, with under stairs storage). A couple of wide steps lead from the front living/dining area to a dining or bar area (2.5 x 2.6m) which itself leads through to a beautifully fitted kitchen (3.4 x 2m). There is plenty of light from two sides of the building, through quality double-glazed windows with built-in fly screens, and the tiling is exquisite throughout.

Taking the stairs, we reach a landing, leading to bedroom 2 (3.2 x 3m), beautifully decorated in subtle, pastel colours and with a patio door leading out onto the upstairs terrace. A corridor from the landing leads past built-in wardrobes and cupboards to bedroom 1 (3.4 x 2.6m), again beautifully decorated and, as in bedroom 2, with beams on the sloping ceilings painted white and a patio door to the terrace. The terrace is 7.5 x 2.5m and has wonderful views over the hamlet, countryside, and the magnificent Mount Maroma in the background. And finally, there is a very pretty bathroom (4m2) with a walk-in shower at the far end of the corridor.

Casa Mia is connected to mains water and electricity and has a 1030 litre spare water deposit. This delightful, fully renovated property is on the market for a very reasonable price.
