Outside: Outside: The cottage has its own private terrace and access. The terraces along with the grounds are dotted with a range of hardy plants, fruit trees and of course the mandatory olive trees. Natural shaded areas can be found by taking a careful walk around the land or just by sitting on your own terrace. Why not relax on one of the sun beds. Alternatively take a dip in the private swimming pool (10x4m) (owners do not use when we have guests) with underwater lighting, shower and Roman steps at one end for easy access. Guests have free use of the TENNIS COURT. The large terrace area in which the pool is situated is decorated in traditional tiles (non slip) and edged in traditional black ironwork railings. The terrace area, which is 20m x 10m (inclusive of pool) looks out over the lake.

Further Details:
Nestled in the hills of Andalucian countryside lies the sleepy town of Iznajar on its rock in the middle of the lake. Iznajar could not be better placed on the point where the Provinces of Malaga, Granada and Cordoba meet. Just 50 minutes from the bustling coast of the Costa del Sol and within an hour of Malaga airport, Iznajar is attracting an ever increasing number of people looking for a tranquil and stress free way of life and with excellent motorway links all within easy reach of the bright city lights.
The area is surrounded by an abundance of interesting and historical villages and towns and Iznajar itself sports one of the oldest Moorish castles in the region as well as an ancient church and historic library. To eat out in the area you are spoiled for choice as Iznajar and the surrounding area has a wealth of traditional tapas bars and restaurants. Whether you would like to dine at the world famous La Bobidilla Hotel (favourite stay for the likes of King Juan Carlos, Tom Cruise and honeymoon hotel for Brad Pitt and wife) or you would like to mix with some of the locals in a local bar the choice is endless.

Born in the UK rather a long time ago. I am still living in the UK but in Spain as much as is possible. I am retired now but before I used to work in the theatre - a career that took me all over the world.
tim purchased this cottage in 2006
Why tim chose Iznajar
The area round the lake at Iznajar stands out as one of the most beautiful of inland Andalucia. The dramatic backdrop of the mountains, the sparkling water of the lake, the ever-changing light as the sun moves across the landscape are things of which I could never tire. The peace and quiet up here are remarkable, one feels miles from the hectic pace of the coast but at the same time it is close enough to the airports of Malaga and Granada, the shops of Antequera and sits snugly almost in the centre of all the tourist sites of Andalucia.
