  Description

  We are a Dutch couple and live part of the year in Andalusia (Spain) and part of the year in the city centre of Amsterdam. In between, we are travelling a lot ourselves. Our place used to be a goat shed that we changed after 6 years in a small family farm. We are located at an altitude of 1200 meters in a beautiful hiking area at the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, about 700 meters from the nearest villages, Alquife and Lanteira, where you find shops, banks, and several bars and restaurants. 2 chickens and olive orchard, almonds and a couple of fruit trees.
  
  The Sierra Nevada National Park starts a few hundred meters from our dwelling and is an excellent place for hiking, mountain biking (we have four ATB’s) or horseback riding. The city of Granada is about 85 km. from Alquife. At our place you will find silence and clean air, space and security.
  
  About the help. Most of the time we need someone to prune our olive trees, get out the weed of our terrain and do some cleaning around the house.

  Autres infos...

  The house lies in the middle of nature, quite isolated, in between two villages. (800 mtr). There are two buses a day during week time and one in the weekend to Guadix (25 km.), the administrative and commercial centre of the region. You can hike in your spare time and visit the local villages. There is a big swimming pool in the village, open in July and August or you can take a swim in the Balsa (small lake next to the house). We have no television or wifi.
