Sympathetically restored recently, the property combines traditional features with modern comforts. A 5 minute walk takes you to a secluded lakeside bathing spot in crystal clear waters and there are numerous walks that begin at your front door. The charming town of Castril with its traditional whitewashed cottages and narrow cobbled streets is a 10 minute drive or lovely 30 minute walk through the olive groves. Casa Turquesa itself is a spacious three bedroom cottage with a large kitchen/diner and cosy living room with traditional fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven/hob; large fridge; and microwave. A large dining table and corner sofa enjoy views of the lake from a full height window. The lounge has a lovely wood burning stove for the cooler winter evenings and comfortable armchairs and sofa. There are books, games and jigsaws to while away the time. Upstairs there are two good sized bedrooms - one twin and one with a King size double - both enjoying views over the lake. A family bathroom comes with a new shower. The third bedroom is located on the ground floor in which a daybed can be used as either a double or two singles. Outside there is a superb three tier terrace equipped with dining table and loungers from which you can enjoy magnificent views over the lake and the surrounding landscape - an ideal space in which to dine, stargaze or simply laze the afternoon away. This is rural Spain at its best in which the pace of life is slow. English is rarely spoken but you will find a friendly welcome everywhere. Walking opportunities abound in the Natural Park and can range from a pleasant stroll through the olive groves to a tough day in the high mountains. The Park is famous for wildlife, especially birds and you will enjoy great close-up views of eagles and vultures. Summer days are hot and the cool, clear waters of the lake will prove irresistible. For the more active, canoeing, kayaking and horse riding are available in the local area. Castril the local town is friendly and full of character. Don't miss the spectacular gorge walk, lovely swimming pool and climb to the viewpoint of Pena del Sagarado Corazon. Relax with drink and some traditional tapas in one of the many bars afterwards. If you wish to venture further afield the city of Granada with the stunning Alhambra Palace is an easy 1.5 hours drive away and the winter ski resorts of the Sierra Nevada a similar distance. There are geothermal springs close to Lake Negratin and prehistoric sites at Orce and Galera. The stunning Renaissance city of Ubeda is another essential day trip. The house is perfect if you fancy a relaxing holiday off the beaten track and want to experience the real Spain but there are a couple of things you should know. There is no Wi-Fi and the phone signal at the house can be hit and miss (although a short walk up-the hill usually secures a signal). There is also no T.V – its very much an “off the grid experience”. The nearest airport is Granada – a 1.5 hour drive but it is also an easy drive from Alicante. Murcia, Malaga and Almeria all of which are served by the usual budget airlines.
