About the host
Hosted by Mr Thomas Bodell

I am a retired Interior Designer/Decorator of 30 years from the Wirral, England, UK. I was born and raised in the city of Liverpool and moved to the Wirral peninsular which is across the river Mersey from the city of Liverpool in my early twenties. My wife Pamela and I had our own interior design retail business in the UK for over 30 years of which we had built together a loyal clientele over those years through giving a first class personal service. In 2004 we decided to sell our business and home as the kids had flown the nest to move to our new renovated home in the beautiful area of Lake Iznajar (area of national park), Province of Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain which we had purchased in 2001, spending 3 years renovating and extending the property and maintaining it to what it is today and having now lived here since 2004 for a very happy 20 years and also welcoming guests to the property for over the past 12 years from 2012.
Why they chose this property
When we first arrived at the property in 2001 we knew we had found what we had been looking for even though it was in a bit of a state and that we had a big project ahead of us due to the condition of the property so with our experience in business we set to it and now have a property that we are proud of and that all our previous guests have enjoyed their stay at the property.
The area of Iznajar is of outstanding beauty with its rolling hills of olive groves and mountains not forgetting the lake which is only a couple of minutes by car down the road from the property. The local people are fabulous, especially our neighbours in the village and take every day as it comes and when it is fiesta time everyone lets their hair down and enjoy themselves.
Travelling around this area is a joy if you are driving as you don't have the sort of traffic that most of us are accustomed to back home which can be usually bumper to bumper. They say that you have to step up a gear or two due to the stress of life that a lot of us are used to, well we found that living here you can can drop right down to a low gear.
Anyway I could write a book about the area and its customs so you can decide when you get here for yourself as we want you to enjoy not only the house but also the area of Iznajar and its surrounding villages and not forgetting the days out exploring the cities of Cordoba, Granada and Malaga and if you wish to travel that extra mile/kilometer the city of Sevilla.

What makes this property unique
The property is situated on the side of a mountain above the village of Los Juncares which protects the property in the winter time although we don't have bad winters and in the 19 years of living here only once did we have a foot of snow covering all the mountains and valleys but the next day it was all gone and blue sky'. The property enjoys sun all day long due its location being south facing and it is so easy to access due to the roads in this area. There are plenty of lanes and mountain tracks to walk where you can bird watch as well as seeing wild flowers etc., you can also drive or cycle around the lake. Rute is where we do most of our shopping and takes about 15 minutes. Iznajar town is 10 Minutes and has shops, cafes, bars and restaurants and banks and when in the town exploring why not pay a visit to the castle and church both recently been completely restored, you can obtain a ticket from the tourism office to enter the castle. If you like walking or like to bike you can visit the Via Verde La Subbetica ( national park) and is about a 30 minutes drive from the property and was the former route of the olive trains and this route can take you through scenery that you would not see by car and along the way you can stop off for a drink or a bite to eat at many of the converted railway stations. At the old railway station of Dona Mencia you can hire different models of bikes including e-bikes for the day so you don't need to worry about bringing your own and hire rates are very good. The Via Verde in the Province of Cordoba is 58 Kms bike and walking route and there are other parts which continue onwards for many more Kms up to as far as into the Province of Jaen. We ride these routes every other week when we can and always enjoy ourselves. If you want further information with regards to other bike and walking routes then please contact me. Iznajar also has an indoor sports center with a fully equipped gym.
