Much of this self-catering inland rental accommodation, deep in the rural Andalucian heartland of the Sierra Norte, Sierra Aracena and Cazorla National Park, offers hill or mountain settings with great views. When you dine alfresco in the garden of your traditional rural country hotel or cottage, you´ll appreciate the tranquility of your inland accommodation's surroundings and feel closer to nature.

And of course your country accommodation, perhaps a restored farmhouse in picturesque olive groves or pine woods, is never far from a local bar or restaurant where you can enjoy some tapas or a full meal. But then it´s back to the comfort and calm of your private, secluded accommodation in the real Andalucia. Near your tranquil rural cottage you might see wildlife such as ibex, vultures and golden eagles in the soaring mountain peaks, tumbling steams and green valleys.
