Casa Grillo

You’re surrounded by nature – walkers will head to the Jalón valley or the Sierra de Bernia mountain range for fantastic hiking, birdwatching and views down to the sea. Return to your own eight acres of pine-covered Moorish terraces, slip into the salt water pool, doze on a lounger or find a spot in the garden for a quiet read.

There’s plenty of space inside too with a big sitting/dining room, a separate TV room and a small study area, all on different levels. The galley kitchen has all the kit you need for holiday cooking and a door out to a kitchen patio, so you can sunbathe while waiting for something to boil. There are different terraces outdoors too so you shan’t feel on top of one another. Bedrooms (one downstairs, three up) are a good size and have mountain views to go with your morning cuppa.

Cycle, swim, trek on a horse. Evenings can be spent enjoying the scent of thyme and rosemary as the sun sets and the profound peace deepens.
