The House

Estudio Escondido, is our self contained, new studio sitting in the garden of "Cortijo Escondido" (the "Hidden Farmhouse" of our 4 acre olive farm).
The studio is a contemporary, very well equipped one roomed unit providing a kitchenette/living/sleeping area, with a vanity lobby leading to a wet room, just perfect for a couple. The style is a modern take on the traditional "casita" found throughout this area as guest houses.

The things we love about living here

The quiet, a seldom found luxury.
Mountain views, bird life, beautiful walks.
Our pretty, flowery garden.
Our own extra virgin olive oil, oranges, lemons, avos, all harvested by hand.
The proximity to the coast - 30 mins by car.
Access to history, culture and skiing in Granada - 60 mins drive.
Serious city shopping, both in malls on the outskirts of the city and in its ancient centre.
The wonderful Spanish motorway network enables easy access to Granada, Seville, Malaga, Ronda and Cordoba.
The amazing history of the region where Christians, Jews and Muslims lived together in harmony for 800 years.
The fiestas, flamenco and fun Spanish lifestyle.
