Our house is in the picturesque Lecrin Valley, surrounded by orange and lemon groves, and with spectacular views of the lake.
The house was renovated by us 3 years ago, to include a fully fitted kitchen, and bathroom on every floor, whilst retaining some original features. It is on three floors, the ground floor has two bedrooms, first floor is an open plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, with a small balcony. There is also a sofa bed that can accommodate two. The second floor features the third bedroom with en-suite, and roof terrace with views of the lake, and the surrounding orange and lemon groves.
The house is well-equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, wifi, and use of computer. There are also children`s bikes, and beach equipment for the summer. There is a wood stove for the winter, which heats radiators on the middle floor. We also have electric heaters in all the bedrooms. For the summer we have fans in every room.
We have two cats that will need feeding, but are very low maintenance.
